Great video Matt and Dave, interesting to hear your thought processes as someone who has already played the Wildcard and is hoping to make par this week against a large group of managers who will be sensibly wildcarding. I'm hoping that many Wildcarders move away from Salah (in order to fit in other medium-to-highly priced assets) and he ends up hauling against Wolves. Although as you covered in the video the captaincy will be on Haaland and won't be moving for the foreseeable future. Just a note on Trossard (38:56), he will be available for selection in GW6 as the suspension will be served during Arsenal's midweek League Cup match against Bolton.
I fear not having Salah, I really do. I just can't get him to work and need to hope Diaz continues to keep pace. Good point on Trossard 👍🏻 Always forget suspensions can go in to the cup.
There are many similar formations in the Wild Card, what do you think of a double of Saka/Martinelli in midfield or Jota + Diaz (for difference Is this considered an adventure? I would like to go higher, but I am afraid to go down to 7m😂😭
I like doing something different but don't feel Martinelli is that option haha. Jota and Diaz is an interesting one - I'm expecting both to start given the minutes played midweek. I think you can have some fun with the strikers and make up ground. Haaland is a set, but the other 2 slots seem a bit different around the template. I've seen a lot of Solanke picks - he isnt for me. Havertz/Watkins is what I'm thinking. Havetz stops me being able to go double arsenal defence (got Saka) but you can only keep one cleansheet 👀
