I think Nico Jackson is going to bring in a lot of points this season. He has been overlooked by a lot of managers. I captained him for this week and it paid off. I might even triple captain him against a promoted side. He is looking too good at the moment.
Incredible captaincy, fair play. Feels like West Ham were part of the reason for why it was so easy for Chelsea tbf but Jackson is by no means a poor pick
Watkins and L.Diaz > J.Pedro and Palmer I feel that change may happen after we realize Diaz is likely to start vs Wolves(a). Bowen has Ipswich(h) in gw7 and is still reasonably priced 7.5m
I am thinking about Haaland solanki jackson Saka mbeumo diaz smith-row rogers Konate gabriel mszroui greaves Aina Raya 4m Thinking about solanki to DCL Konate to gvardiol and smith-row to 6.5m mid
I think Diaz, Watkins and Wood are better than Palmer, Joao and Lewin. In my view, we should add Liverpool and Forest players to the squad, Aina and Konaté in defense for example. Thank you for sharing your WC draft. Have a good day !
I'm concerned of not having Salah and Diaz on my wildcard. Initially I also planned to go Salah to Saka and maybe Palmer, but Liverpool look too explosive and Wolves / Palace next two are hardly top quality defences
Agreed. I don't understand why so many managers are removing Liverpool players in this wildcard. Their fixtures aren't that bad. Only Arsenal in GW 9. Chelsea is looking good, but Pool should be able to score on anyone. I can understand dropping Salah to spread funds, but not having Diaz? This is quite interesting and risky.
@@chrisjohnson1312 Yes mate, if Liverpool win the next game 4-0 which is very plausible, then I know I'll be scrambling around to try and get Diaz and the WC is being ripped up already. I'm thinking of taking it on the chin and hoping that without Odegard Saka's points in those GW6-8 fixtures are not too crazy
Fran what do u think of starting with robbo/virgil for gw6/7 then transferring into gvardiol after 7. Just see gvardiol not keeping a cs against newcastle and see lfc keeping potentially 2 cs in 6 and 7
Nice draft. Double up on city for now and wait and see for best 3rd assest. Palmer is good space holder for fixture swing towards kdb/foden, double arsenal def ❤, going Aina over Dunk, undecided on 2nd and 3rd striker 👍🏼
Hey Fran, I’d love to hear what you think about Bowen and Solanke. I’m without palmer and whether or not that will come back to bite me or not I can’t really see myself moving into him with that GW8-11 run. With Bowen then saving money in midfield, it allows for Solanke up front and I’ve also got porro at the back.
Hi Fran. Love the content brother. Please could u explain to me how wildcard works regarding price rises and falls. If u do a wildcard and transfer out esr for adama. Then decide u want esr back. Do u have to pay the current 5.7 or the 5.5 u bought him at. Also could u explain what you are doing regarding making transfers and activating wildcard later. I’m sure many have these questions
Good draft ! Kai Havertz home record though is quite good. Understand there is a concern over his positioning but if he were to play 9, upside is quite high over Raya. Additionally Kepa could also be a good short term keeper. He is making lot of saves so floor is largely 3/4 points.
Good point as I think with UCL he'll be rotated with Trossard and Jesus. Raya is a good set and forget, this week is a good chance with their fixtures coming up and you can leave him there the rest of the season tbh
Hey Fran! Hello from Malaysia, so happy to see your new wildcard video early in the morning. What do u think about Liverpool asset for wc? Trent, Diaz looks like a fine to hold?
Any particular reason to go Gvardiol over Porro? I went WC4 and am now executing my double arsenal booked transfer for GW6 but unsure of who to go out of in my defence. Konsa, Greaves, TAA, Lewis, Porro. If i go out of Konsa, that's a lot of money sitting in my defence, if I go out of Porro into Gabriel, I feel like I'm missing out on a great 5.5midfielder asset in Porro. Could you guide me with your wisdom once again Fran san?😅
as someone who has owned gvardiol since the start of the season im actually thinking do i sell him? With their formation change in game hes sitting further back and not having that wing play like last season. a lot of money for a cb that isnt even nailed
Cheers mate. I’ve had an ok GW5 so far but regret going with Digne instead of Konsa & I’m concerned now about his minutes. I’m also worried about Bowen as West Ham really aren’t looking so good. Tempted to just rotate Aina & Digne for now & possibly remove Salah & bring in Palmer or Saka. Can actually afford both if I make that move but might just wait as I think Salah can get some points away at Wolves.
Well done Fran - nice and early! Can now watch this and Match of the Day before I go off to tennis. Happy days! Now, what do I need to do with my team…?
As a GW3 wildcarder you made me a bit less worry , 9 the same players and 1 free transfer and top 200k. I might be ok after all ;) have a good Sunday all 😁😁🙌💪💪
Should we have any idea L.Diaz starts for Liverpool against Wolves(a) he's in my WC draft 100% and I'll take the chance of another start against Crystal palace when they play the first match of the gameweek so team news should be out 1.5hr beforehand via X. Bowen is someone I'm conisdering and Palmer less so because Nottingham Forest and Brighton's defence is not that bad. Watkins is great for gw6-9 with Rogers as an 8th attacker during that timespan looks fine to hold. I picked up six price rises on the WC, kept Salah and will switch to Saka after the Arsenal v Man City match assuming no injuries.
Nice initial draft. I was curious about your thoughts on Watkins? And with the rotation/minutes risk Palmer recently has (assuming trend continues) does it make Jackson a better value Chelsea asset?
I think the key is not getting too stuck in on the last game and looking at wider sub patterns. There are probably more games where Palmer plays more mins. Watkins is definitely a great pick but half the ‘run’ I would say is gone and he’s not at some ridiculous price point like Rogers
Great video fran! When is the best time to play the wildcard if my team is good for week 6? I have the same exact 3 forwards and 4 out of the midfielders ( I have salah instead of saka). I also have Trent who I think I will sell for Gabriel this week. When would be the optimal week to wildcard in that case?
I don’t get it. How are you going to make transfers without hitting the transfer button. It’s going to take you a lot of points .. don’t get it.. I hit the button yesterday and my value grew with 0.7 or more..
Semenyo looks great if you can rotate him here and there, his data is great, still like Eze as well. There’s a small chance whenever, Diaz could be benched two games in a row, with Eze it’s never gonna happen, so I still think he’s as good as anybody.
Hi fran and everyone, I’ve not had a great start and I’m wildcarding, this is the team Flekken Gvardiol van den berg Gabriel Mbeumo Rogers Saka palmer semenyo Haaland havertz Fabianski jao Pedro Anderson greaves ! Any changes ? Thanks 😊
I’ll tell you now - imo Lewis won’t start vs Arsenal. However, he will play in the easier fixtures. That makes him a good pick at his price for FPL. The only player guaranteed a place is Haaland. City poor choices for FPL because of rotation……..
So by delaying activating the wildcard you are just pushing up/down prices for the rest of us? I have never heard of people doing this. I presume though most don’t (I’d be afraid I’d forget to activate it and be stuck with a 32 point hit).
Porro is nailed for me, if you look at him as a midfielder, he’s good value for money being 5.5. Guy has upside second only to Trent, Arsenal defence has more consistent 6 pointers of course.
A good first draft. But I think Saka & Gvardiol are over valued - theres not as much attacking potency without Odegaard & Gvardiol is playing deeper because of Lewis. I'd rather Adama, Porro & a premium striker like Solanke/Watkins/Jackson
Nice team but I'm personally not as high on Semenyo xMins as you Fran. He went off 70 mins last game and Iraola loves an early double winger sub. He's also on no set pieces or penalties. Especially with Evanilson's minutes gradually increasing, it's quite clear to me that Semenyo is not going to be the talisman in the team. But on the other hand, he's only 5.5
@@LyndonDyke They've been very decent since the 2nd half of last season. Trust me, I've been following them. It's just hard to recommend an asset as their finishing is still not to the level of their chance creation and there is no clear 90 min talisman without Solanke.
I do think that’s mostly game state given the 0-3 position but it’s a fair point. Evanilson’s minutes clearly conflate with Unal’s too and I don’t see him being the talisman but up to you
@@FPLFran Yes, but I only mentioned Evanilson because Sinesterra and Ouattara have been coming on for him. But now that Unal is back and coming on for him, Iraola is reverting to subbing 2 of the 3 behind the no. 9 off around 60-70 mins. There is still no clear talisman in the side imo.
Brighton fixtures are poor so why having Dunk and Pedro? For the forward position I think you have to start with Watkins on WC given that first few fixtures are good and then switch to Solanke or someone similar. To me it is better than Palmer.
@@youjustreadthis897 fran mentioned if you make your transfers as hits then you contribute to price rises and falls whereas while being on wildcard i have to assume then they don’t?
I wcarded in gw4. A very similar squad to yours. Unlucky to have wissa benched with mci and injured. 2 transfers banked. Currently planning to keep jota, sell salah and wissa for saka and watkins and leave eze/semenyo out to mbeumo in for gw7
@@FPLFran luiz diaz is the secand most scorer in fpl He has been punishing me for the first GWs You can leave Jakson alone ,i think luiz diaz can civer salah since u don't have him
Great video Fran. Curious as to why you you arent considering Ndiaye. Also, a shocking lack of mentions for Villa assets. I think thats a mistake. And I'm particularly referring to Watkins and Tielemans.
