Wildcard Team 1 - Big in Defence
This team has all the big hitters in defence from Chelsea, Liverpool & Man City in addition to the premium duo - Salah & Lukaku. All players are good value thus creating a strong 14/15 man squad, all could be played & rotated throughout the GWs.
Wildcard Team 2 - 5⭐️ Midfield
This team includes 3 premium midfield assets - Son, KDB & Salah, coupled with a strong defence comprising of TAA, Cancelo & Rudiger. This squad looks strong & formidable throughout. Are we missing a trick in not having KDB in our teams?
Wildcard Team 3 - Striker Dominant
This team has Lukaku, Vardy, and Antonio upfront, which still includes a rotateable defence and midfield that has the key wildcard picks you need. With these 3 form strikers in the team, I expect consistent points coming in every GW.
Wildcard Team 4 - Balanced
This team is arguably the most balanced of the lot with 3 premium defenders and 2 budget defenders that play week in week out. It also comprises of 4 strong midfielders and 3 attackers that can be rotated depending on fixtures.
