FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE WILDCARD TIPS GW6 – OUR IMAGINARY WILDCARD
There’s no stats in this article but go to our “ones to watch” articles where there will be detailed stats on each player. Here’s the links in each position:
So here’s the team. It’s at a very affordable value. Underneath I’ll talk you through the choices:
Defence
I generally play 3-4-3. So I’ve gone for the 2 premium defenders and then 3 rotating cheapies. Man Utd with 2 home games are worth sticking with. Then I’ve gone for Liverpool’s Lovren where they have some good fixtures coming up. In the cheapies I’ve gone for Holebas who although an injury doubt is an excellent cheap attacking option. Amat for the price and nothing else. Then it’s Friend as I still think the defensive mindset of Middlesboro can get clean sheets
Forwards
The forwards in this team have dictated the midfield which is why I’ve gone for them first. Aguero is Aguero and is always going to be in my team when fit. Lukaku is in such hot form and with Bournemouth next is essential. Ibrahimovic is the tricky one. 60% ownership and 2 home games 1 of them against the defensive disaster that is Stoke just makes him hard to leave out. However after the Stoke home game he then is up for a performance review.
Normally I would want 1 cheap forward as otherwise the team feels unbalanced but it’s difficult at this point in time.
midfield
Liverpool and Arsenal have great fixtures and are hard to avoid in terms of representation. I’ve gone for Firmino due to possible central striking duties although you can make a case for either of the 3 of him, Mane or Coutinho. I would choose Sanchez if I had the money however with the front 3 it’s very difficult so I’ve gone for the very big gametime gamble of Walcott. If he gets minutes he will return and the price is unbelievable.
Antonio is the form and fixture player. Then I’ve gone for Capoue. I am sceptical he’s the real deal but in a short term with good fixtures what’s the worst that can happen? My second gametime gamble is Josh King who can play as a striker and is in a Bournemouth team who will have to score to stay up. He is a gametime risk though.
