Best Gameweek 7 Wildcard
Using Plan FPL, we present our Wildcard draft:
Goalkeepers
Arsenal have fantastic fixtures long-term, and have conceded just three big chances this season. Taking both into account and the lack of goalkeeper options, David Raya could be a great pick.
Enabling money elsewhere is the only playing ÂŁ4m goalkeeper in the game, Martin Dubravka.
Defenders
Bournemouth’ Marcos Senesi is the only defender with a 100% defcon success rate so far. He has also produced two assists – showing multiple routes to points.
Based on six clean sheets in all competitions and their fixtures, doubling up on the Arsenal defence could be really beneficial. The best of the bunch is Gabriel, who scored in his latest match.
Crystal Palace have more than proved themselves this season. The Eagles have been fantastic, so investing in them could lead to success. One of their cheapest routes into the defence is Chris Richards.
Joachim Andersen is another player who keeps on churning out defcons. The Fulham centre-back ranks among the best defenders in the game for that metric, so has a solid points floor going into any given game.
Leeds have fairly good fixtures, and Joe Rodon is one of their most reliable defenders for gametime. The Welshman also scored in his latest match.
Midfielders
Everton continue to prove themselves offensively, which makes Iliman Ndiaye a good option. Ndiaye has become one of the Toffees’ most important attackers recently. He also takes penalties for his side.
Four goals and two assists in his first six matches makes Antoine Semenyo an absolute shoo-in. Bournemouth have impressed this season and have a fair schedule ahead.
Crystal Palace may have lost Eberechi Eze, but it doesn’t seem to have affected them offensively. One of their better attacking options is Ismaila Sarr who recently returned from injury and scored.
Rotation has become a concern when debating Manchester City midfield options. However, new signing Tijani Reijnders has started every single one of their Premier League matches so far. He also comes in at a great price.
Arsenal’ fixtures are at a turning point. Bukayo Saka is one of several attackers who could take advantage of that. Money in the bank could eventually be used to upgrade Saka to Cole Palmer further down the line.
Forwards
Joao Pedro may ben nursing a small injury, but the Chelsea fixtures ahead could be difficult to ignore. The Brazilian has been exceptional so far this campaign and with Nottingham Forest, Wolves, and Burnley ahead, he could well add to his tally.
Most pricey forwards have been extremely underwhelming since the start of the season. Because of this, buying a cheaper striker could be a good play. Although poor so far, Wolves have their man and penalty taker back Strand Larsen from injury, and some great fixtures ahead.
Erling Haaland has been relentless since Gameweek 1 and that doesn’t appear be letting up anytime soon. The Norwegian’ consistency makes him a brilliant and reliable captaincy option long-term, so could be considered essential.
