I'm not sure if I should wildcard I've not been too happy with gw1,2 got 67 and 74. I feel like gw3 will be far worse if I stick with it. I literally feel like playing a 4 back because I'm not confident with my midfield.
Total of 118 points had pretty average gameweeks despite having an above average team, (at least according to the ai rating) had to wildcard if I wanted to compete in the general leagues more
This is a great take and brilliant wildcard. I’m not wildcarding yet, well not at this moment in time. I TC Halland this week & got 84points. Last, gameweek, GW1 got 60 points. But I want to be aggressive this season. I was extremely patient last season and it did pay off. But this season seems like one for the aggressive types. haha
@@AK47_. Thanks mate, that’s a very nice comment to read :) Congrats on the Haaland TC. Best of luck with next gameweek! I may just try and navigate GW3 myself. Have double Palace defence not looking good but they have LEI (H) in GW4. If I can I think I’ll brave it then Wildcard in GW6
@@FPLPhillips I’m thinking the same. Sometimes we get caught up in the GW that’s coming up, not considering the following game weeks. GW 6 for the wildcard with the fixers turning is probably the right play. Saying that, I’ve already made a change last night and got rid of Christopher Nkunku for Rogers. Prior to the price hike of Rogers and the decline in price for Nkunku. So the aggression continues. lol
96pts this week . I Triple Captained Haaland 🎉 so one chip used but I'm very happy i did and now I'm sitting at 40k itw. Wondering whether to do Amad to Rogers this week and play Rogers over Wood/Eze but I'm leaning towards rolling right now thoughts?
@@FPLPhillips thanks man . We off to a strong start anyway. Just another couple top 1 million gameweek ranks hopefully and we will be off to a very strong start
I’m on 171 with the Sonny-Salah combination. I felt like Id be left behind if I didn’t make a move to Haaland now. So with much deliberation I managed a Salah-Haaland combo with my wildcard. Even managed to keep my favored Raya-Gabiba-Porro defense
Great video! Need help~!! 1st season FPL and didn't know the full rules. What you reckon about wildcarding? I have 5 players that scored 0, and previous week had to trans to get rid of alvarez. GK: Pickford Onana Def: Walker, Castagne, Robertson, Braithwait, Anderson MId: Rice, Palmer, Gordon, Bailey, Saka FWD: Jebbison, Watkins, Solanke
Thanks for the informative video! Trying to decide if I should wildcard or not - got quite a few fires to put out but thinking I may want to wait until GW4. GK: Henderson, Valdimarsson DEF: Trent, Robinson, Gvardiol, Quansah, Barco MID: Nkunku, Eze, Bruno, Jota, Rogers ATT: Isak, Haaland, Solanke Rolled my transfer so I have 2 FT if I choose not to wildcard - thoughts on wildcard or transfers to do?
You're very welcome and thanks for the nice comment. I would personally wait for news on Solanke but if he's fit there's not much reason to wildcard imo. If I were you I'd do Nkunku out to a replacement (I'll plug here I just released a video on that). Your other 7 attackers could actually all start this week, so you're even in a position to just bench Nkunku for another week of info before you decide. You're lucky that Quansah and Barco shouldn't be needed really as you can rely on your other 3. For that reason I'd maybe do Nkunku to a cheaper option and Henderson to Raya this week with your 2FT (assuming you need the money ITB). Then in future weeks if needed you can sort out Quansah and Barco. I wouldn't wildcard, I think you're set up well just got unlucky with Bruno/Eze not returning and your 4th/5th defender situation.
@@FPLPhillips Thanks for the detailed reply - I just subscribed! I ended up wildcarding before I saw this message as I just thought too many holes in the team. Here's what I've gone with so far: GK: Raya, Valdimarsson DEF: Trent, Robinson, Porro, Konsa, Mosquera MID: Saka ESR Madueke, Salah, Rogers FWD: Haaland, Joao Pedro, Jebbison Thoughts on any changes to this WC team? Appreciate your insights!
Think you just do Nkunku out this week to Rogers/Smith-Rowe or another option, assuming you have 1 FT. In future weeks I'd be looking to move on Mykolenko, Henderson and then maybe Lisandro (almost in that order as you could hold Henderson for GW4 vs LEI). You have a solid defence though really with Gvardiol and Trent every week I wouldn't worry too much as long as you have an option every week to go alongside them, which Robinson looks good for for now. I don't think you need a wildcard.
I'm wildcarding this week with my squad a shambles. Gone somewhat differently to everyone and now have Salah, Saka, Palmer and Son in Midfield. Have Watkins Muniz and Pedro up front. Defence is based on upcoming fixtures to GW8 and have reasonable players. ,My thinking is anyone can score against Anyone even Ipswich against City...focussing on those 4 midfielders and smith Rowe with Watkins up front. Those players should score points over the course of the season. Pricing has made it tougher this year...we'll see what happens over the next 4 or 5 GWs...not holding my breath lol
I would have Mitoma, Watkins and Konsa instead of Nedeljkovic who will be transferred out at some point when Cash is healthy, then upgrade J.Pedro to Watkins and use the 4m to "downgrade" for Mitoma. Japan play against China and Bahrain for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers which should be comfortable wins and the last game in International break for Japan FC is September 10 (4.4 days ahead of Ipswich fixture).
Mitoma is a great shout too, I also like Minteh but Adingra will see minutes. Agree with you on Cash, and ye Konsa is the obvious option if you want a nailed Villa defender.
Any advice for this team? TIA Pope Flekken Saliba Faes Robinson Mazraoui Gvardiol Saka Jota ESR Winks Rogers Maddison Muniz Haaland Isak with 0.5 spare budget
Nice team, don’t really see major issues. Start Flekken this week maybe. Could maybe look to do Winks to Soucek NEXT week for that extra depth, or just save it.
Wilcarded with 79 points this gw pickford virginia andersen barco smith rowe gordon nkunku isak out Raya fabianski konsa faes rogers madueke saka wood in
Thoughts on Evanilson? He’s a guaranteed starter and will more then likely be on pens. Could alternate between him and Joao Pedro week to week fixture dependant.
@@alextierney8692 Rotation up to and including GW7 looks brilliant. I’ll admit I’ve only seen what was on MOTD for the Bournemouth game so can’t say I’ve seen much of him play. Bournemouth look good though as a side and if he’s on pens that’s definitely viable.
@@FPLPhillips is there somewhere I can send you a draft to get your opinion. It includes haaland palmer salah saka and this rotation between evanilson and Joao Pedro.
I rushed my team so its a mess, who should I get rid of, Ive got two transfers. Raya, udogie, saliba, trippier, eze, odegard, kulu, isaak, haaland, toney. I really fd up with toney and tripps cos they not getting any game time with their transfer situation, but I need to move a lot of players out ngl, should I use my wildcard and rebuild or just shift out toney and tripps and use the two transfers on them. I do want to get rid of odegard, kulu and likely eze aswell. Any suggestions mate, who should I remove and bring in.
@@IAmThatBit--he is not 100% a starter, maatsen also plays as a full back konsa could revert to a fullback, digne steals the LB spot. The +0.5m on Konsa gives you safer minutes
Konsa is of course an option, will maybe cover for defenders in a future video. If you think he’s worth that 0.5 then use it! It’d definitely a safer play
Yes. This squad has a base of starters that aren’t going to get dropped, with money for upgrades if you want to go even safer. Granted injuries etc could happen, but I think it’s worth it this week for a lot of people with several fires to put out.
