This season, I’m writing down my thoughts each week, highlighting anything interesting I’ve spotted from a Fantasy perspective.

Gameweeks 2 and 3 were mainly tactics/player-related, but for this article, I want to talk about my Wildcard.

Right now, it’s a hot topic in the community, so although it’s entirely squad-dependent, there will likely be some overlap.

For context, here’s how I set my team up in Gameweek 3:

With one free transfer and £3.0m in the bank, I’m certainly going to get through this international break without using it.

Instead, I’ll likely play it in Gameweek 6, in an attempt to capitalise on Arsenal and Brentford’s favourable fixture runs. It also feels like a good time to hop off Yankuba Minteh (£5.5m) and Alexander Isak (£8.5m).

In Gameweeks 6 and 7, Arsenal face newly promoted Leicester City and Southampton at home, followed by a visit to Bournemouth.

Brentford, meanwhile, have a lovely run in Gameweeks 6-13:

Building a Wildcard team with a core of five or six Arsenal and Brentford players feels like a sound strategy.

Currently, I favour Mark Flekken (£4.5m), Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.0m), Bukayo Saka (£10.1m), Bryan Mbeumo (£7.1m) and Kai Havertz (£8.1m), with Nathan Collins (£4.5m) or Yoane Wissa (£6.1m) potentially joining them.

All of the attackers I mention above have been heavily involved in their sides ‘big chances’ to date, something I fully expect to continue.

So Arsenal and Brentford players will supply the core, but I also like Manchester City’s fixtures, which is why I prefer Erling Haaland (£15.2m) to Mohamed Salah (£12.7m).

Assets such as Vitalii Mykolenko (£4.4m), Leif Davis (£4.5m), Max Kilman (£4.5m), Jarrod Bowen (£7.5m) and Dominic Solanke (£7.5m) are also on the radar, all of whom rank highly on our Season Ticker in Gameweeks 6-11:

In addition, a deeper bench is something I’d advocate.

Two extra UEFA Champions League games for Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa could be significant because, in the new format, we won’t get a scenario where a team has won their group after say four matches.

Rotation has typically occurred in these types of games, but perhaps that won’t be the case this year. So a squad with two decent first subs could benefit if/when a big name is rested domestically.

A Gameweek 6 Wildcard could look something like this, then:
