2021/2022 Wildcard thread.

Current WC side now looking like this:;

Sanchez Ramsdale

TAA White Rudiger Cancelo Livramento

Salah Saka Raphinha Benrahama Townsend

Lukaku Antonio Jimenez

Might bring in Alonso/Chilwell for TAA if we find out some clear info on one of them definitely starting. Can buy back TAA then next week.

Evening al….

Initial draft, not sure on Christensen, Sarr, Sissoko and Toney but fairly set on the rest. Need to decide on whether to go 442 or 343. Christensen/Toney could become Bamford/Duffy if Bamford is fit

Ramsdale Foster

TAA Rudiger Cancelo Christensen Livramento

Salah Sarr Raphinia Saka Sissoko

Lukaku Antonio Toney

Yeah been trying to fit Son in but can get it to work yet. Keeping an eye on Nacho also, could be my 3rd striker if he holds his place

Lots of points will be left on the bench there I'd fear

You'd almost need an extra attacking fodder to take away some benching decisions. Presumably you'd be playing 4/5 defenders each week with that setup.

Lukaku was horrendous saturday wasnt in the game at all hes been playing poor for weeks so Im going with vardy

Was he that bad? I only watched the highlights and saw a good goal just offside, a nice little back heel for a potential assist and hit the post where he should have scored. Also was just behind Werner ready to tap it in if he didn’t so taking up the right position.

I felt better about the captain blank after watching it. Not saying he played world class but horrendous seems strong, especially from an fpl POV.

Just taking a look at price structure and I think that a 3rd 10m+ player (assuming everyone has Salah and Lukaku/Ronaldo) is a better approach than going big at the back.

With an expensive back line (I've seen some with double City and double Chelsea for example) it means if one of Son, Vardy or Ronaldo/Lukaku or even Kane end up being 'essential' it would be very hard to get them in. It would take at least three transfers, as two defenders would need to go to release the funds.

If you have Son for example, and Vardy kicks off while Son stagnates, then its two transfers.

The thing about Vardy is he tends to get a lot of 7 point goals as he gets max bonus a fair bit when he scores. He's also a big game player and loves a goal against Top 6 teams, so Man U, Arsenal and Chelsea could actually be 'good' fixtures for him!

I agree on Son, but just wondering if Salah, Son, Vardy is the way to go. Lukaku hasn't scored in 3 and Ronaldo, despite his early goals, hasn't been great in actual play. Yes, both could punish you, but thats the choice we have to make.

I think it's probably worth it for the Norwich game if you already have Lukaku given how well Werner played on Saturday. United have Liverpool that week so Ronaldo to Werner could be on if you have him.

Ok here's what I'm on for the minute, think keeping trent and a strong bench is essential, especially as I'm risking Foden but want some city cover and easy switch out if doesn't do much

Gallagher has gone a bit off the boil apparently and I just never like Tielemens as fantasy asset.

Its not template though, which is good! I do like Maupay, but have been disappointed by him too many times!

I've had maddison and Barnes this season and last and every week tielemans seems to be a BP magnet

Yeah that's why I went for the strong bench, as some potential benchings.

Totally agree on James and he's the one I want from that defence longer term, will need to listen to press conferences. However I did hear this week Chilwell very rarely comes on. Where as one point James is always a worry

Thanks for feedback
