Pros and Cons about wildcarding:

Pros:
- Target fixture swings βœ…
- Catch price rises and build team value βœ…
- Get Ronaldo without taking hits βœ…
- Opportunity to jump on value players βœ…
- Get rid of failed punts/bad picks βœ…
Cons:

- Can’t target GW 7/8 fixture swings as effectively ❌
- 3 GWs is a small sample size, so we might make bad decisions if we only base them on information from GW 1-3 ❌
Fixture Runs to Target πŸ“Š

βšͺ️ Leeds (GW 5-10)

Leeds are heading towards a very appealing fixture run starting in GW 5. If you can bench your Leeds players in GW 4 vs Liverpool, I would definitely include them in a wildcard.
πŸ”΅ Everton (GW 4-6)

This fixture run is a bit short term but Burnley, Villa and Norwich in the next three GWs gives Everton assets great potential both offensively and defensively. DCL, Gray and Digne are my favourite picks.
πŸ”΄ Arsenal (GW 4-11)

Okay, it is Arsenal and they really don’t impress right now. However, their fixtures look very good from GW 4-11, so you can find good value in the London team. White (4.4) the standout option.
🟠 Wolves (GW 4-14)

Wolves have lost their first 3 games this season, but they have still impressed and put up some promising stats. They can now look forward to a fixture run of almost only easy fixtures from GW 4-14. Semedo and Traore are my favourite FPL picks.
πŸ”΅ Chelsea (GW 4, GW 7-11)

A nice GW 4 fixture is followed by 2 more difficult ones, but in GW 7 the fixtures look incredible and so it might be worth including a couple of Chelsea assets in your team for the long term benefit.
Fixture Run to Avoid:

🟣 Aston Villa (GW 4-7)

After having great fixtures GW 1-3, Villa now face a way harder fixture run. Chelsea, Everton, Man Utd and Spurs next makes all Villa assets clear sells in FPL.
Wildcard Foundations βš™οΈ

πŸ”΄ Salah - 12.5
πŸ”΄ Trent - 7.5
πŸ‘Ή Ronaldo - 12.5
πŸ‘Ή Shaw - 5.5
βš’οΈ Antonio - 7.9
Wildcard Bargains πŸ’°

πŸ”΅ Duffy - 4.1
πŸ”΄ Livramento - 4.1
🟠 Marcal - 4.5

πŸ”΅ Gray - 5.6
🟑 Sarr - 6.0
🐝 Mbeumo - 5.5

🟑 Dennis - 5.2
🟒 Pukki - 5.9
Wildcard Differentials 🎲

βšͺ️ Sergio Reguilon - 5.1
TSB: 9.9%

Spurs have started the season very well and have kept 3 clean sheets in a row. Reguilon has also grabbed 4 bonus points so far. I expect another CS vs Palace in GW 4, and Spurs have okay fixtures until GW 9.
🟠 Adama Traore - 6.0
TSB: 1.8%

In the first 3 GWs, Adama Traore had 2 big chances, created one big chance, had 7 goal attempts in the box, created 9 chances and had an xGI of 2.11. Despite this he blanked in all 3 games, but the stats indicate that returns will come.
πŸ”΄ Diogo Jota - 7.6
TSB: 15.5%

If Firmino is confirmed out, I’d say Jota should be in every WC team. Firmino out would mean that Jota is nailed to start and when he starts, he often delivers. He had an xGI/90 of 0.59 last season, which is very good for a player that costs 7.6m.
πŸ’Ž Ferran Torres - 7.1
TSB: 7.4%

With KDB being injured and Jesus seen as a winger, Ferran Torres seems to have nailed down that striker spot, at least short term. 2 goals, 1 assist and 18 FPL points in GW 3. At only 7.1m, Torres looks like incredibely good value for money.
🟠 Nelson Semedo - 4.9
TSB: 1.5%

Despite playing Leicester, Spurs and Man Utd in the first 3 GWs, Wolves only conceded 3 big chances during this period. This indicates future clean sheets, especially now when the fixtures turn. At only 4.9m, Semedo could prove to be a great pick
More Differentials 🎲

🐝 Raya - 4.5
πŸ”΅ RΓΌdiger - 5.5
πŸ’Ž Gundogan - 7.3
🟠 Jimenez - 7.4
Wildcard - Players to Avoid ❄️

πŸ”΄ Bruno Fernandes - 12.1

With Ronaldo likely taking over Penalty and Freekick duty, I simply don’t think Bruno is worth Β£12.1m anymore. Downgrade and use the funds to afford Ronaldo, Lukaku or maybe both.
🟣 Danny Ings - 8.0

Villa fixtures take a turn to the bad now, which lessens the appeal of Danny Ings. Also worth noting that his 3 goal involvements this season have come from an xGI of 1.06 which means that he has significantly overperformed. Avoid!
βšͺ️ Heung Min Son - 10.1

Tottenham haven’t impressed much attacking wise so far this season, hence I wouldn’t invest over Β£10m in a Spurs player. Go with a budget mid and use the funds to allow a premium striker instead.
Wildcard Draft πŸ“ˆ

If I were to play my WC this week, this would likely be my team ‡️

GW 5 Notes - Teams ✍️

βš’οΈ West Ham - Awful performance and a 3-0 loss vs Chelsea. Avoid all West Ham players for now.

βšͺ️ Spurs - 3 goals scored and 3.52 xG created vs Brentford. Great fixture run from GW 8, prepare to bring in at least one Spurs attacker.
GW 5 Notes - Players ✍️

πŸ”΄ Diaz - 2 goals and 16 FPL pts vs BOU, now up to 51 pts in 5 GWs. He’s in incredible form, but how long can he keep this up?

βšͺ️ Solanke - Scored his first goal for Spurs and had 1.61 xG in GW 5. Decent pick for wildcarders.

GW 4 Notes - Teams ✍️

πŸ”΄ Arsenal - 3rd CS in 4 games, with only 0.74 xG conceded. Double Arsenal defence seems close to essential from GW 6.

🌳 Nottingham Forest - A win and a CS at Anfield. Undefeated so far this season.
GW 4 Notes - Players ✍️

🟣 Watkins - 2 goals and 13 FPL pts vs Everton. 0.93 xG/90 so far this season.

πŸ‘• Haaland - 2 more goals, now up to 9 goals and 54 FPL pts in 4 GWs. Truly an insane start to the season.

GW 3 Notes - Teams ✍️

πŸ”΄ Liverpool - 3rd game, 3rd win, 3rd CS. +7 in total goal difference. Looks very solid so far this season.

πŸ”΅ Everton - Up 2-0 after 86 mins, lost the game 2-3. 3 straight losses and 10 goals conceded in 3 games. Terrible start to the season.
GW 3 Notes - Players ✍️

🐝 Mbeumo - 2 goals and 14 pts vs SOU. 3 goals in 3 games now this season, and great fixtures from GW 6.

πŸ”΅ Calvert-Lewin - 1 goal and 1 assist in GW 3, and has an excellent fixture run that starts in GW 5. Potential 3rd FWD on WC 4 even?

GW 2 Notes - Teams ✍️

πŸ”΄ Arsenal - Another CS, although a bit lucky this time. Still, it’s worth keeping in mind that they can keep a CS even in tough fixtures.

πŸ‘• Man City - 3.34 xG created and 4 goals scored vs Ipswich. Excellent attacking performance, as expected.
GW 2 Notes - Players ✍️

πŸ”΅ Palmer - 1 goal, 3 assists and 17 FPL pts vs Wolves. Incredible performance, looked like the Palmer of last season.

πŸ”΄ Raya - 2 save points and 4 bonus points in the first 2 GWs this season. Had a total of only 6 BPs in 32 games last season.

GW 1 Notes - Teams ✍️

πŸ”΄ Arsenal - Very solid performance. Only 0.47 xGC. Still the best defence in the league.

πŸ”΄ Liverpool - 2-0 win, with 2.65 xG created and only 0.45 conceded. Good fixtures ahead as well, with 3 home games in the next 4 GWs.
GW 1 Notes - Players ✍️

πŸ”΄ Salah - Never doubt the πŸ‘‘. 1 goal, 1 assist and 14 FPL points in GW 1. Just as good as he usually starts the season.

🦊 Vardy - Back in the PL, and scored immediately. Might become an option at some point, at 5.5m.

GW 1 Fixtures to target 🎯

⚫️βšͺ️ NEW vs: SOU (H)

This is a perfect fixture to target, especially for Newcastle attackers. Newcastle are usually very good in home games, and Southampton (H) is a fixture primed for goals. Isak, Gordon and Murphy are all very good picks for GW 1.
πŸ”΄ ARS vs WOL (H)

Arsenal have the best defence in the league, and kept 18 clean sheets last season. This is, without a doubt, the best fixture to target for CS points in GW1. Arsenal’s first 5 fixtures include 3 difficult games, but this one could easily finish 3-0 to Arsenal.
