Haaland 🔵⚪️

Say less..

Once you have these 8 players in your 15 man squad, you need to decide between KDB and Son for your premium spot.

Both are good picks but with City cover in Cancelo and Haaland, I’ll be leaning towards Son. 👍

Going Son/KDB over Kane also allows an easier route back to Salah.

Once you have the above 9 players in your team, fill in the blanks with the below players! ⬇️

DEF
Fofana 🔵⚪️
Neco 🔴⚪️
Schar ⚫️⚪️
Emerson 🔵🟣
Patterson 🔵⚪️

MID
Son ⚪️⚫️
KDB 🔵⚪️
Zaha 🔴🔵
Bowen 🟣🔵
Maddison 🔵⚪️
JWP 🔴⚪️
Rashford 🔴⚪️
Eze 🔴🔵

FOR
Jesus 🔴⚪️
Kane ⚪️⚫️
Isak ⚪️⚫️
Watkins 🔵🟣
Toney 🔴⚪️
Solanke 🔴⚫️
Adams 🔴⚪️

This is how my current Wildcard Team is shaping up.

*It may be wise to keep some money ITB for a route back to Salah or Trent so I may end up downgrading Maddison or Bowen.

Hopefully this is useful information to your WC planning!
