The time has come, after five rollercoaster gameweeks of Fantasy Premier League, the first wildcard of the season has been activated. The early season chaos, injury woes, and fixture swings have made it the perfect time for a squad overhaul. Gameweek 6 is a pivotal point in the FPL season, with many managers, including top ranked players, eyeing this window to reshape their teams. The reasons are clear, a significant fixture swing for key teams like Manchester City and Arsenal, and the opportunity to rectify early mistakes and capitalize on inform, undervalued players.
Keepers:
David Raya(£5.5m) Arsenal have the best fixtures in the league up until gameweek 11, Raya is a reliable option in the Arsenal defence that have only conceded one open play goal this season which came yesterday against Haaland.
Dubravka(£4.0m) starting goal keeper at the cheapest price, that says it all.
Defenders:
Van de Ven(£4.7m) Spurs although they did concede 2 goals against Brighton have looked defensively solid under Thomas Frank. The Dutch CB also has a haul in him, as evidenced by his 14 pointer against West Ham.
Senesi(£4.7m) Andoni Iraola has somehow kept his defence tight despite losing their entire backline and keeper. Senesi is the second highest scoring defender, he is also a Defcon monster hitting the threshold in all 5 matches so far.
Andersen(£4.5m) Another Defcon machine, the Danish CB has hit Defcon in 4/5 matches so far. He also is great for bonus and will be starting every match barring any injury. He also rotates really well with Senesi.
Calafiori(£5.7m) The Italian CB seems to have nailed his spot in the starting eleven. I have decided to take the risk, however i still have £1.3m and could switch to Saliba. He offers goal threat and even works in the build up for Arsenal.
Heaven(£3.9m) Not much to say, his price fell so i did not want to lose any team value and i will not bench boost anytime soon hence i have kept him.
Midfielders:
Semenyo(£7.7m) The highest scoring midfielder, again not much to say. Bournemouth have the best fixtures, he is on penalties in Kluivert’s absence and has the potential to hit DC points as well. He will be in almost every top managers team now.
Reijnders(£5.6m) The Dutchman finally returned after his gameweek 1 haul, setting up the assist for Haaland. He offers great value, City have great fixtures and he is always getting into attacking positions. I could switch to Ndiaye if i want to free up my City players slot.
Kudus(£6.6m) The Ghanian winger as well delivered two assists after his gameweek 1 drought. He has the potential to deliver and Xavi’s signing has brought more attacking threat to Spurs. They have a great fixture run up until Gameweek 10 and he looks to be a season keeper for now.
Palmer(£10.4m) I am waiting for an injury update for Palmer, if he will miss the next few matches i will save money and switch to Saka with my money in the bank being used to upgrade Isidor to Woltemade potentially.
Foden(£8.0m) The Englishman is back from injury and we all know that he is capable of exploding and having a massive haul of points. This is a bit of differential/risky transfer as he is a rotation risk and his performance last year was underwhelming. I am hoping he returns to his 23/24 season form and helps me jump up the ranks.
Forwards:
Joao Pedro(£7.8m) The Brazilian has been on fire for the Blues this season, the second highest scoring forward behind only Haaland. Chelsea have hit a bit of a snag but i am expecting them to bounce back against Brighton next week hopefully with a goal or two from the Brazilian.
Erling Haaland(£14.3m) The Norwegian goal scoring machine has returned, he has only blanked in one game so far and is averaging 9.2 points per match. He also has a staggering 1.42 xGI per 90. City have hit their fixture run and he is home to Burnley, barring any injury he will be a season keeper.
Isidor(£5.5m) A player who is being slept on at the moment, he has managed 3 goals for Sunderland so far and looks to be a player who will be a great bargain. However he could change to Woltemade depending on Palmer’s injury as Sunderland could have a fall off when the games start piling up.
