Gameweek 25 Best Wildcard Team
We look at the Gameweek 25 best wildcard team. Using the Fantasy Football Scout season ticker we can see which teams have the best run of fixtures. This can then aid FPL managers in picking out some of the best assets for the run ahead.
The wildcard gives managers the opportunity to change their entire team for any reason. Managers activate their wildcards for several reasons. Whether that be to target fixture swings or just change their team up, the wildcard can be precious to your planning.
Fixture ticker
Below we can see that the fixtures ticker covers the next six Gameweeks (from Gameweek 25-30).
Who has the best fixtures?
Luton, Aston Villa, Brentford, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace all rank amongst the top five teams with the best fixtures.
Who has the worst fixtures?
Chelsea, Tottenham, Brighton, Liverpool and Wolves all rank in the bottom five teams with the worst fixtures.
Gameweek 25 Best Wildcard Team
The team below would give managers eight Double Gameweek 25 players and 10 players for Blank Gameweek 26 (without any transfers).
Goalkeepers
Luton have two double Gameweeks in the period ahead so investing seems like a good move. Although the fixtures aren’t ideal Thomas Kaminski (£4.5m) still has more fixtures than most other goalkeepers in the game. He also has clean sheet and lots of save point potential.
Newcastle’ cheap goalkeeper Martin Dubravka (£4.2m) will come in during Blank Gameweek 26. Managers could also rotate both goalkeepers around each other as they please.
Defenders
Manchester City have a double Gameweek this week and play in Gameweek 26. They also remain one of the best sides for underlying defensive stats. Starting the last several matches is centre-back Nathan Ake (£5m) who could be their most reliable defender in terms of minutes moving forward.
Liverpool are maintaining one of the best defences in the league and have a double ahead. taking that into account, the uncertainty around Trent Alexander-Arnold and his headed threat in the box, Virgil Van Dijk (£6.4m) could have big potential in the round ahead.
Doubling up on the Luton defence may seem extreme but both assets included offer different routes to points. They also have two double Gameweeks ahead so investment could be hugely rewarding. Wing-back Alfie Doughty (£4.6m) is one of the most attacking defenders in the league based on his stats recently and he has also picked up a return in five of his last seven matches.
On the bench is Arsenal centre-back Gabriel (£5m) who plays for one of the best defences in the league and scored a brace recently and Aston Villa’ Diego Carlos (£4.4m) who is a cheap route into a team with the second best fixtures in the period ahead.
Midfielders
The Liverpool double Gameweek ahead is too good to have just one of their attackers, especially when they are one of the best teams in the league statistically in attack. One of their best attacking assets currently is Diogo Jota (£8.2m) who has returned in five of his last six matches.
Manchester are also one of the best in the league for goals scored this season. Their double Gameweek of Chelsea and Brentford looks like a good one to attack. Phil Foden (£8m) has been one of his sides most reliable player for minutes this season and has collected 51 points in his last six matches.
Arsenal play some of the worst current defences in the league over the next several Gameweeks. Because of that it could be difficult to leave out their most effective attacker. Bukayo Saka (£9m) is also in brilliant run of form – hitting five returns in his last five games.
Alejandro Garnacho (£4.9m) could be a great enabler for the period ahead. The Manchester United youngster plays in the blank Gameweek and barring the Manchester City match has a fantastic run of fixtures ahead. Garnacho has also managed two double-digit hauls in his last six games.
Wolves have been one of the best attacks in the league as of late and they have several attractive assets. One of those players Pedro Neto (£5.7m) who bagged three returns in his last three matches. He also faces Sheffield United in Blank Gameweek 26.
Forwards
Completing the attacking duo from Liverpool is Darwin Nunez (£7.6m). Nunez has been sustaining some of the best underlying offensive data in the entire league recently. He has also notched up at least one return in five of his last six matches.
Erling Haaland (£14.4m) looks essential for the run ahead. The Norwegian leads the attack of the most in-form team in the league. Haaland has been one of the best assets in the game since joining Manchester City and goes into every round as one of the standout captaincy options.
The Aston Villa fixtures are fantastic so it could be extremely difficult to exclude Ollie Watkins (£8.7m). Watkins continues to impressive and reward owners after securing 36 points in his last five matches.
