🃏 GW5 WILDCARD SQUAD:

Still too early, but my ideal Wildcard Squad *IF* I was considering it would in GW5 would look like this.

Would be pretty happy with this squad tbh.

Remaining questions discussed in the thread 🧵:

#FPL #fantasypremierleague
🧤 Q1: Sanchez Vs Henderson Vs Sá

Easiest to answer. BHA have been imperious in defence and currently look like the A* kids in class. Other keepers have played really well and brought home the bag but you wouldn't trust those defences to keep a clean sheet.

Pick: Sanchez
🛡️ Q2: Budget DEFs

With big-at-the-back seemingly dead, I've gone for more budget picks. With none of the WBs wanting to stand-out, I've gone for a recently strong performer and a potential gem of a bargain in the coming weeks.

Picks: Gabriel + Fofana
🏗️ Q3: MID Overhaul

Current MID is made up of great value I picked up early (+ Salah). With his underperformance, I've switched to KDB, upgraded 3 spots and left the 4th as the best current value pick: Gross.

Picks: KDB, Berny, Diaz, Gross
🥅 Q4: FWDs

Need I explain more? I like the Darwin pick in a few weeks, but these 3 pick themselves. Ownership makes Jesus indipensable, and the other two are banging them in. Prefer Mitro to Toney, but wouldnt have the money anyway.

Picks: Jesus, Haal, Mitro
Hope it's been helpful to see where my mind is at with ideal WC squads.

Comment below who else you'd like to see and I can produce a sheet for you.

🔍 GW5 WATCHLIST 10: DEFS

Our Big-at-the-Back dreams have been dragged through the mud recently, so who can managers turn to in order to keep the points rolling in at DEF?

Likes and RTs appreciated.

THREAD 🧵:
#FPL
With consecutive starts, Perisic is becoming the standout performer at DEF. He's one of 4 teams that appear to be playing very high wing-backs and his attacking stats sell themselves:

- 11.3 pts/90,
- 0.81 adj. xGI,
- 0.94 xGA

✅ BUY
TAA's been grinding my gears recently. Poor attackign returns and a shaky LIV defence has made him highly overpriced. A return against BOU is only a band-aid, I'm continuing to monitor:

- 0.693 pts/GW/£
- 0.20 adj. xGI
- 1.38 xGA

🔍 GW5 WATCHLIST 10: BUDGET MIDS

The other half of this season's midfield formula - let's take a look at the top value picks on my watchlist:

Likes and RTs appreciated.

THREAD 🧵:
#FPL
At current prices, who's your top midfield value pick? Comment any other suggestions below:
Rodrigo came up against an astute BHA defence and blanked this GW. Despite that, his underlying stats were still strong, and he remains the value pick of choice at the moment. He leads various categories:

- 10.2 pts/90,
- 1.35 adj. xGI,
- 11.7 6GW projected points/gw

✅ BUY

🎯 GW5 WATCHLIST 10:

Back by popular demand!

Starting the ball rolling with £8m MIDs to track:

Likes & RTs appreciated.

THREAD 🧵:
Luis Diaz is a pick I'm looking at closely (and 2 weeks late...) but with Salah underperforming massively, and my attention being grabbed by other midfield options, Diaz provides a route back into the LIV front 3 at a very good price.
Other ~£8m MIDs you'd like to see instead? (comment any others below)

🎯 GW5 PLAYER POINTS PROJECTIONS:

I've been trying to calibrate a points projection system to pick last few FTs before WC.

First: 6GW attacker projections

*Don't take projections too seriously, sample size is small and only 34% certainty*

Likes & RTs appreciated.

THREAD 🧵:
Numbers factor in previous performances, upcoming opposition and home/away advantage.

Although some questionable projections, the chart paints an overall picture.

Intuitively, Rodrigo seems over-projected, whilst the next 3 have a -35 point gap projection over 6GWs.
Maddison has a very tight variance due to his consistent points retruns this far.

Odegaard, who has been a popular transfer this week, has an ok ceiling, but a very low potential floor: buyers beware.

Bernardo has a large potential spread too, however could prove a solid pick
