FPL Gameweek 4 Best Wildcard Team

We build the best FPL Gameweek 4 Wildcard team with the help of Fantasy Football Scout’s Members Area and the Plan FPL tool.

Numerous FPL managers are using this international break to fix their problems with an invaluable chip that allows unlimited free transfers to the 15-man squad. We’ve assessed the pros and cons of using it right now so, for those proceeding with a Wildcard, here is a recommended way to proceed.

FIXTURES

Below, we can see the Fantasy Football Scout Season Ticker, which shows the teams that supposedly have an easy and tough set of upcoming matches.

As pointed out in the pros and cons piece, the main fixture swings aren’t happening until Gameweek 6, where things toughen for Liverpool and Newcastle but improve for Arsenal and Brentford.

Over the next half-dozen rounds, Ipswich, Aston Villa and Everton assets have potential whilst Bournemouth, Wolves and Southampton may not.

BEST WILDCARD TEAM

Goalkeepers

This squad’s starting prices added up to exactly £100.0m but your ownership of early price changes will dictate how affordable this currently is.

In an ideal world, transfers don’t go on goalkeepers, so a long-term fixture run like Mark Flekken‘s (£4.5m) is great. But it means putting up with a tough opening two at Man City and Spurs.

Also, having his understudy cost £4.0m means Brentford are a rare team whose first and second-choice cost only £8.5m.

Defenders

Perhaps one free transfer to pre-book is moving Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) to an Arsenal defender in Gameweek 6, unlocking £1.0m to upgrade elsewhere. It just feels counter-productive to Wildcard now but not own the Liverpool star for home games against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. Arne Slot’s side are yet to concede.

Our trio of initially-£4.5m names haven’t started too well but it’s about looking forward. Ezri Konsa (£4.5m) has great fixtures, there’s faith in Sean Dyche sorting out Everton and Vitalii Mykolenko (£4.4m), whilst Emerson (£4.5m) is for West Ham’s nice later run.

Alternatively, you could opt for Lewis Dunk (£4.5m) or Antonee Robinson (£4.6m). And the attacking habits of Pedro Porro (£5.5m) will never be a bad idea.

Midfielders

The headline of this Wildcard draft is that it risks squeezing in three premium attackers. Bukayo Saka (£10.1m) has returned in each match and has superb-looking outings but it’s hard to resist Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) – joint-top scorer with 41 points.

Bryan Mbeumo (£7.1m) has started brilliantly and grabbed a 14-point haul on Saturday. He hasn’t even taken a penalty yet, so he’ll be exciting to own for Gameweek 6 and beyond.

A future upgrade could maybe go on low-priced attacker Morgan Rogers (£5.1m). He partially covers Ollie Watkins (£8.9m) for Aston Villa’s promising schedule and has certainly passed the eye test with early performances.

Other candidates include Eberechi Eze (£6.9m) and Cole Palmer (£10.6m).

Forwards

There’s still a slight unpredictability about game time for Brighton’s midfielders, so the start of Joao Pedro (£5.7m) catches the attention. Two goals already, making him look underpriced and fixture-proof.

Meanwhile, Erling Haaland (£15.2m) is ultra-expensive but continues to prove why, notching consecutive hat-tricks. Man City’s decision not to replace Julian Alvarez should secure even more minutes for the Norwegian machine who joins Salah on 41 points.

Alexander Isak (£8.5m) isn’t in trouble but his price can’t fit alongside three premiums, whereas Nicolas Jackson‘s (£7.6m) can. Chelsea weren’t able to add a forward during the transfer window but those still nervous about rotation could instead choose Dominic Solanke (£7.5m), should he soon be fully fit.
