fantasy premier league wildcard tips GW4– the FFGeek imaginary wildcard

Here’s our fantasy premier league wildcard tips GW4 article where I pretend I’m using my wildcard. This is to give you transfer suggestions for the GW4 with more longevity than just 1 gameweek alone.  There’s also a guest imaginary wildcard team from Scott Taylor

The idea of this article is to bring together the other articles of the gameweek.

The article is brief as there’s loads of information on individual players in the rankings articles plus others

Defender/GK player rankings

Midfield player rankings

Forward player rankings

Bandwagons and sinking ships

You can also see who the 10 top FPL managers have in the FFGeek contributors article 1 and article 2. You can also see which players have the best fixtures in our fixture ease article

There’s also who I’m thinking of in my article early FFGeek team thoughts 

The team

Here’s the team.  It costs £100.3m

Structure

Firstly I’ve continued with the 2 designated captain structure of Salah and Sterling.   The formation is a 4-3-2 plus a rotation between Cantwell, Dendoncker and Lundstram for the 11th spot.  Not ideal to have a rotating player who’s also got a main player in your team but apart from that it couldn’t be better.  You could go for a £4.5m GK and then upgrade one of the cheap players to be the dominant person in the rotation or go for the security of Laporte over Zinchenko.

GK and Defence 

Sorry but I am still a believer that the Spurs defence will come right and that the shot stopping ability of Lloris will bring in save points. The Vertonghen fall out and NdomPope, Gunn and Heaton are the £4.5m alternatives.

I’m sticking with the double Liverpool defence but taking advantage of Matip who started the last 2 being the price saver.  Zinchenko is my City defender due to price although he will come under pressure from Mandy when he’s fit.  As a former midfielder though he does work well tucking in to midfield to protect what becomes a front 5 when they all attack so that could be an advantage over Mendy.

I’ve stuck with Digne mainly because he’s done nothing to suggest he should be dropped. Mina has played well although the CMs are a disaster zone defensively and offensively and new CDM Gbamin is out for a while so he is a monitor for sure.

Lundstram is the value play as a rotater.

Midfield

The 2 designated captains are Salah and Sterling.

I’ve brought De Bruyne in for a good fixture run and he’s also pretty secure as far as anyone can be in Peps system.

Forwards

Haller for me is a potential star so he comes in for the good fixture run and the fact that he looks like he will be a 90 minute player.  Pukki should need no introduction.

The bench and 3 way rotation

Greenwood is the pure bench player although with Martial out he could start at the weekend.

The 3 way rotation is Lundstram, Cantwell and Dendoncker.  I’m hopeful Dendocker will get his place back and that it was rest rather than losing his place last week.  Not ideal to have Cantwell as a rotater with Pukki in the team as a double up even in rotation seems a bit much but he’s the best at that price.

Scott Taylors imaginary wildcard

Scott finished with an overall rank of 1k last season and 12k in 17/18

By the way neither of us saw each others team to avoid any subconscious suggestion.
