I imagine a good few wildcards will be used this week. I'm looking forward to seeing what my league rivals have done.

I used mine, but unlike previous WC's, I completely rushed it and went with a fairly obvious team.

I haven't looked at how this will pan out for future DGW's, but I'm never scared of taking hits when needed.

My problem will be who to bench each week. I usually don't like strong benches for this reason!

Best of luck all.

Ederson

White, Estupinan, Tarkowski

Salah, Rashford, Saka, Martinelli

Haaland, Watkins, Darwin

Ward, Trippier, Andreas, Bueno

FT banked, WC intact. Didn’t buy in to the rush to WC this week. A lot depends on the Liverpool v Man U game for me.

Fitz* · 04-03-2023 12:15pm

-4 taken to get Rashford in for Mahrez

Expecting a red arrow cos there is a lot of talk of wildcards this GW.

Kepa

Trent White Badiashile

Martinelli (c) Odegaard Rashford Maddison

Nunez Kane Haaland

Ward Mitoma Digne Trippier

Good luck all

Good luck everyone. Especially me............ I got rid of Haaland with my WC. 😂

I know it will hurt me points-wise (probably as soon as 12:31 today, tbh), but I'm just a bit bored of the game right now and wanted to have a bit of craic with it again.

May god have mercy on my soul.

You're not the only one. My best mate hasn't had him in from the start as he thinks he's ruining the game 🙈

But in your favour, EBH is going through a bad patch (for him!), so you might be on to something 😉

Best of luck!

I'm sure I'll regret it come the end of the season, but sure it'll build character lol.

Flaneur OBrien · 04-03-2023 1:41pm

Fingers crossed that EBH isn't immune to the curse of the 12.30 captain....

extra gravy · 04-03-2023 1:47pm

Foden (Rodri)

Flaneur OBrien · 04-03-2023 1:47pm

Newcastle cleanie gone.

Phil Foden, Rodri assist.

That will probably open the floodgates as Newcastle start attacking.

Not much happening for him at the moment but we know how quickly that can change with him.

shmeee · 04-03-2023 2:36pm

Wildcarded into the below. Kept only 4 players from last week's team. Went back to Martinelli.... Good luck all.

City are poor, less afraid of selling Haaland for Toney next week.

Hopefully this means that Saka will square the ball for Martinelli to score a few times!

howareyakid · 04-03-2023 2:49pm

Wildcarded to this. Quite template but hoping it will still be best option for the coming GWs. Will hope to BB 13 players in the double. Tight calls between Ødegaard and Martinelli and who to start between March and Mitoma. Benching headache next week potentially also!

Fitz* · 04-03-2023 2:51pm

Vieira starting for Arsenal? Who misses out? If Saka has himself as VC, it could be Odegaard.

Edit. No Ben White

extra gravy · 04-03-2023 2:53pm

No White either ffs

Might be giving Xhaka a rest

extra gravy · 04-03-2023 2:55pm

KDB subbed

Cypher_sounds · 04-03-2023 2:56pm

Newcastle looking very dangerous since the 3 subs.

extra gravy · 04-03-2023 2:57pm

Bernardo (Haaland)

Haaland captainers will take that the way this game was going.

extra gravy · 04-03-2023 3:00pm

Sanchez benched for Brighton
