FPL GW6 WILDCARD DRAFT | Fantasy Premier League 24/25

[@jyuko9508]

I was starting to feel guilty for being up so late, but not anymore - new Fran video just dropped 😍

[@theDaily-Pulse]

Sels as well as 4.5 gk. Great fixtures gw6 onwards

[@tekalongkumer]

I think Nico Jackson is going to bring in a lot of points this season. He has been overlooked by a lot of managers. I captained him for this week and it paid off. I might even triple captain him against a promoted side. He is looking too good at the moment.

[@FPLFran]

Incredible captaincy, fair play. Feels like West Ham were part of the reason for why it was so easy for Chelsea tbf but Jackson is by no means a poor pick

[@richierichard7]

@@FPLFranhow about Evanilson whom you were fancying a few weeks ago?or even tavernier..who’s on pens?

[@laserspewpew_7175]

I'd go Pinnock or Aina over Dunk, Brighton fixtures are tough from 6-11

[@FPLFran]

I would just go Dunk for the long term and to cover that Arsenal vs Pool fix on 9. This does have a lot of dependency on Lewis starting though

[@adetayomichaelakinyemi]

@@FPLFranwouldn’t you still just play your Arsenal defenders regardless?

[@1kcps406]

Dunk cannot be an every week starter with his fixtures

[@FPLFran]

Im mostly going dunk to cover Arsenal gw9 and then thinking long term. This draft is predicated on lewis starting over him over the next 5

[@Brennyross]

If you get a chance in your next few videos id love to hear some strategy for people with 3-4 free transfers and wildcarding this gameweek. Great video as always, ty fran

[@FPLFran]

From a strategy pov I think you can just aim to go for moves like Palmer -> Son, Gabriel -> Porro. Maybe even Havertz -> Solanke and try to bet on the upside of Havertz in the short

[@FrazerWiddowson]

I'm concerned of not having Salah and Diaz on my wildcard. Initially I also planned to go Salah to Saka and maybe Palmer, but Liverpool look too explosive and Wolves / Palace next two are hardly top quality defences

[@chrisjohnson1312]

Agreed. I don't understand why so many managers are removing Liverpool players in this wildcard. Their fixtures aren't that bad. Only Arsenal in GW 9. Chelsea is looking good, but Pool should be able to score on anyone. I can understand dropping Salah to spread funds, but not having Diaz? This is quite interesting and risky.

[@FrazerWiddowson]

@@chrisjohnson1312 Yes mate, if Liverpool win the next game 4-0 which is very plausible, then I know I'll be scrambling around to try and get Diaz and the WC is being ripped up already. I'm thinking of taking it on the chin and hoping that without Odegard Saka's points in those GW6-8 fixtures are not too crazy

[@FPLFran]

I think this goes back to the idea of whether people/teams are truly fixture proof. I don't really, but it's a different in opinion and I get that.

[@INYASS.NAAAAA]

Dunk fixtures aren't good to be in a WC team, Lewis minutes+ fixtures for that price...

[@rijulNangia]

Lewis not nailed and cant be relied on as your 3rd Starting defender. I cant wait for Pep roulette to destroy the Lewis WCers

[@EMursw]

@@rijulNangiapep roulette was rouletting hard against arsenal

[@FPLFran]

Dunk is just rotation on 9+ long term 12+

[@INYASS.NAAAAA]

​​@@FPLFran With who tho, Lewis looks like he's not getting more than 45min, Greaves... Ipswich, imo it would be better to just downgrade Calvert lewin to Ndiaye ( their winger ) and use that money for a better defender than Dunk, having transfers this year up till 5 will not make us rotate players for that long anyway

[@IdYzHm]

I think Diaz, Watkins and Wood are better than Palmer, Joao and Lewin. In my view, we should add Liverpool and Forest players to the squad, Aina and Konaté in defense for example. Thank you for sharing your WC draft. Have a good day !

[@RichardDD999]

Your squad sounds good. The one thing I like about having Palmer (plus Saka) is that it gives you an option to go back to Salah or Son in the future. If you spread that money around it will be hard to get a Palmer, Son or Salah later

[@FPLFran]

that's totally fair. good day to you too!

[@Injfernate]

I am thinking about Haaland solanki jackson Saka mbeumo diaz smith-row rogers Konate gabriel mszroui greaves Aina Raya 4m Thinking about solanki to DCL Konate to gvardiol and smith-row to 6.5m mid

[@FPLFran]

I like those prospective changes mate. Time to prob go off ESR

[@cyrusbarnard8860]

Nice draft. Double up on city for now and wait and see for best 3rd assest. Palmer is good space holder for fixture swing towards kdb/foden, double arsenal def ❤, going Aina over Dunk, undecided on 2nd and 3rd striker 👍🏼

[@RichardDD999]

Awesome wildcard. One of the best I have seen. I am not wildcarding but have most of the squad except Arsenal def. Have Trent instead

[@chocobomtom]

Same here except konsa and barco for Dunk and greaves and smith row and jota instead of mbeumo and semenyo

[@lucadamico6248]

DCL pick reminds me of when you wanted to go armstrong for gw1..not sure that going for the striker of one of the teams with the worst projection is a good idea in terms of points. (Armstrong scored 5 pts in 5 matches!)

[@FPLFran]

that's fair. But DCL mins do look good (unlike AA's). And he at least has much more PL pedigree

[@FPL-Tony]

For Dunk and the Brighton defense I don’t know think the fixture run looks too good before gw12. I wouldn’t expect many clean sheets before gw12.

[@FPLFran]

dunk is more of a long term pick and a gap filler on 9. This draft doesn't end at 12

[@FPL-Tony]

@@FPLFran I get that, it´s just I might need a returning defender before Dunk is likely to return. I can hopefully can transfer him in if that seems like a good idea.

[@harrycope2225]

Not activating the wildcard till late to force the price changes is big brain thinking

[@Kittel_]

Mavididi might be a fun pick until Semenyo's tough fixtures pass

[@FPLFran]

You’d then miss his 6/7 though which are crazy good

[@lucienlazar]

Nice draft. Hard to swap Salah + Diaz (that both increased in price) to Saka + Palmer, but it seems to be the better choice for this draft.

[@FPLFran]

I think for anyone who owns liv attack, I wouldn't sell on 6. But if you were wcing, it's not necessary to go two

[@NathanMellows-uj8mp]

Cheers mate. I’ve had an ok GW5 so far but regret going with Digne instead of Konsa & I’m concerned now about his minutes. I’m also worried about Bowen as West Ham really aren’t looking so good. Tempted to just rotate Aina & Digne for now & possibly remove Salah & bring in Palmer or Saka. Can actually afford both if I make that move but might just wait as I think Salah can get some points away at Wolves.

[@FPLFran]

I think keeping Mo for wolves is perfectly fine as you say.

[@celtishcelt3270]

Go fran. Had a decent week and just activated the wildcard 2 hours ago sogonna give this a watch

[@vikasmnv5775]

Good draft ! Kai Havertz home record though is quite good. Understand there is a concern over his positioning but if he were to play 9, upside is quite high over Raya. Additionally Kepa could also be a good short term keeper. He is making lot of saves so floor is largely 3/4 points.

[@xbugswrld]

Good point as I think with UCL he'll be rotated with Trossard and Jesus. Raya is a good set and forget, this week is a good chance with their fixtures coming up and you can leave him there the rest of the season tbh

[@FPLFran]

I'm sold on Kai - might chance him.

[@repentmaster2842]

Thx Fran. I WC6 too. Surprised Saka price hasn't risen yet (Mbeumo price risen to 7.2 now)

[@FPLFran]

Think it’s due to jota owners needing a move

[@BeerdyBruceLeeCentral]

Nice looking wildcard.

[@FPLFran]

cheers!

[@sammyrehman2099]

Fran what do u think of starting with robbo/virgil for gw6/7 then transferring into gvardiol after 7. Just see gvardiol not keeping a cs against newcastle and see lfc keeping potentially 2 cs in 6 and 7

[@FPLFran]

right but spending a ft on a defender so soon isn't worth it to me

[@mamgoalkeeper600]

Hey fran, I really thought you would talk a bit about wood he's been great and he was on penalties today and scored and his fixtures looking really good from gw6 onwards..

[@FPLFran]

I see him as an equivalent pick to DCL, just think there are no bad fixtures at all meanwhile there is one for NFO (7)

[@LarsDevos]

Interesting draft, but great Really appreciate how fast you made this video! I activated mine on saterday and caught a few price raises. Whats your opinion on Rico Lewis after the game?

[@FPLFran]

think this was the game he was expected to be benched in. Can see him playing these 'easier' games.

[@dominikwierzchowski1567]

As a GW3 wildcarder you made me a bit less worry , 9 the same players and 1 free transfer and top 200k. I might be ok after all ;) have a good Sunday all 😁😁🙌💪💪

[@FPLFran]

Glad :)

[@morra123]

Need advice, Robertson --> Gabriel (-4) for gw 6 or Robertson --> saliba (free) for gw 7?

[@FPLFran]

Think saliba is fine

[@Lukeb23]

Hey Fran, I’d love to hear what you think about Bowen and Solanke. I’m without palmer and whether or not that will come back to bite me or not I can’t really see myself moving into him with that GW8-11 run. With Bowen then saving money in midfield, it allows for Solanke up front and I’ve also got porro at the back.

[@FPLFran]

think Solanke might be a pick I prefer slightly more but they're both really good competing options.

[@FPL-Tony]

I think Semenyo has potential but am put off a bit by gw8 and 10 for now. Guess it depends on your rotation options.

[@FPLFran]

totally see the point re: his fixtures being awful then. That's where the 8 attackers come in

[@gautamrajesh1699]

for a wildcard, would you go for saka, pau, and solanke or havertz, eze and TAA

[@FPLFran]

the former probably - sorry I missed on time

[@GaryMitten-dr4bg]

Well done Fran - nice and early! Can now watch this and Match of the Day before I go off to tennis. Happy days! Now, what do I need to do with my team…?

[@FPLFran]

Have fun!

[@canaanarinda]

Amazing Video Fran! Madueke, Diaz or Eze?

[@FPLFran]

I would go the latter two

[@Maxrodon]

Nice initial draft. I was curious about your thoughts on Watkins? And with the rotation/minutes risk Palmer recently has (assuming trend continues) does it make Jackson a better value Chelsea asset?

[@FPLFran]

I think the key is not getting too stuck in on the last game and looking at wider sub patterns. There are probably more games where Palmer plays more mins. Watkins is definitely a great pick but half the ‘run’ I would say is gone and he’s not at some ridiculous price point like Rogers

[@CodPatrol]

Semenyo looks great if you can rotate him here and there, his data is great, still like Eze as well. There’s a small chance whenever, Diaz could be benched two games in a row, with Eze it’s never gonna happen, so I still think he’s as good as anybody.

[@xbugswrld]

I like Eze and had him since GW1 but he's inconsistent, looking to go to Mbuembo this week for Eze

[@FPLFran]

I agree Eze is that good still. Not necessarily essential but still a top pick

[@CHFLight]

If I am not considering Haaland, should I keep Salah or Palmer as a long term hold, or maybe choose Foden instead?

[@cornoffthecob1018]

Maybe you should consider Haaland

[@FPLFran]

you can go Halaand or continue to go with nomiums. I think a draft like Ben Crellin's is a good idea

[@KaifMahmood11]

Hi Fran. Love the content brother. Please could u explain to me how wildcard works regarding price rises and falls. If u do a wildcard and transfer out esr for adama. Then decide u want esr back. Do u have to pay the current 5.7 or the 5.5 u bought him at. Also could u explain what you are doing regarding making transfers and activating wildcard later. I’m sure many have these questions

[@FPLFran]

you would lose ESR and have the buy him back full price. I am doing transfers to make sure they actually count to price rises and falls as non-wildcard transfers do count, but wildcard transfers don't.

[@Maxrodon]

Sorry for all the question Fran, but gfiven people are pivoting into to Arsenal now they have better fixtures and away from Liverpool as the fixtures are less atractive, can you please share more on why Palmer is such an attractive pick inspite of the unattractive fixture run Chelsea have coming up?

[@FPLFran]

think it's two good games -> pivot to Son as an angle

[@FPL-Tony]

I have to put my hand up and admit I was wrong about Jackson this season. I think looks like a really good pick now tbh.

[@FPLFran]

hah, it's always nice to have good underlying data imo. Especially when you are that far clear of the field

[@majedalmajed6414]

Thoughts on Wood (on pens) and Mcneil instead of DCL (not sure who mcneil replaces in midfield maybe rogers?)

[@FPLFran]

that works! very strong alternatives for sure

[@paulo_bento]

Should I take out Salah & Trent for Haaland & Gvardiol, or do I keep trent and risk going for lewis?

[@FPLFran]

if going Lewis gets you Haaland still, yess.

[@bluntkilla6806]

What do you suggest if i luck 0.2 in value mby drop lewis for someone like colwil or gvardiol for someone like porro ?

[@FPLFran]

not sure what you mean?

[@FPL-Tony]

Defensively I absolutely see some potential bumps in the road in Liverpool’s fixtures going forward, but offensively I don’t see many.

[@FPLFran]

why do you not see offensive bumps? They aren't even much better of an offense than they were last season at all. The improvement has been made in defense so far.

[@FPL-Tony]

@@FPLFran Apart from Arsenal and Man C I don´t see why Liverpool shouldn´t be able to score against any other teams, even though they somehow managed to make a mess of that fixture against Forest.

[@sdsinatra]

Is Forest defense being overlooked? Sels 4.5 seems good value.

[@FPLFran]

I think it looks like an extremely solid defense but wouldn't quite say overlooked

[@SebastianKhoo]

Hey Fran! Hello from Malaysia, so happy to see your new wildcard video early in the morning. What do u think about Liverpool asset for wc? Trent, Diaz looks like a fine to hold?

Any particular reason to go Gvardiol over Porro? I went WC4 and am now executing my double arsenal booked transfer for GW6 but unsure of who to go out of in my defence. Konsa, Greaves, TAA, Lewis, Porro. If i go out of Konsa, that's a lot of money sitting in my defence, if I go out of Porro into Gabriel, I feel like I'm missing out on a great 5.5midfielder asset in Porro. Could you guide me with your wisdom once again Fran san?😅

[@FPLFran]

just immediate MCI fix are better. Porro's run really starts at 8 imo. Not a huge difference though, if you want to save a FT you can always go Porro

[@sickemboy9352]

Should we have any idea L.Diaz starts for Liverpool against Wolves(a) he's in my WC draft 100% and I'll take the chance of another start against Crystal palace when they play the first match of the gameweek so team news should be out 1.5hr beforehand via X. Bowen is someone I'm conisdering and Palmer less so because Nottingham Forest and Brighton's defence is not that bad. Watkins is great for gw6-9 with Rogers as an 8th attacker during that timespan looks fine to hold. I picked up six price rises on the WC, kept Salah and will switch to Saka after the Arsenal v Man City match assuming no injuries.

[@FPLFran]

very sensible picks. I do think Diaz starts given the cup action/minutes. Best of luck!

[@FPL-Tony]

Double Man C defense seems a bit much to me. What if one of the midfielders becomes “nailed” and delivers consistently?

[@FPLFran]

hard to believe that anyone bar Savio is 'nailed', and even he is subbed off consistently. They have 4 interior mids.

[@Hussain2705-]

Ive done a similar wc with luis diaz and bowen instead of palmer and semenyo afforded that with a cheaper defence dropped dunk to keane

[@banzaikk]

Nice team but I'm personally not as high on Semenyo xMins as you Fran. He went off 70 mins last game and Iraola loves an early double winger sub. He's also on no set pieces or penalties. Especially with Evanilson's minutes gradually increasing, it's quite clear to me that Semenyo is not going to be the talisman in the team. But on the other hand, he's only 5.5

[@LyndonDyke]

5.5 playing for a team who had nearly 20 shots vs Liverpool, it’s almost a no brainer with how much improvement Bmouth have made as a team.

[@banzaikk]

@@LyndonDyke They've been very decent since the 2nd half of last season. Trust me, I've been following them. It's just hard to recommend an asset as their finishing is still not to the level of their chance creation and there is no clear 90 min talisman without Solanke.

[@FPLFran]

I do think that’s mostly game state given the 0-3 position but it’s a fair point. Evanilson’s minutes clearly conflate with Unal’s too and I don’t see him being the talisman but up to you

[@banzaikk]

@@FPLFran Yes, but I only mentioned Evanilson because Sinesterra and Ouattara have been coming on for him. But now that Unal is back and coming on for him, Iraola is reverting to subbing 2 of the 3 behind the no. 9 off around 60-70 mins. There is still no clear talisman in the side imo.

[@KORAYHULK]

as someone who has owned gvardiol since the start of the season im actually thinking do i sell him? With their formation change in game hes sitting further back and not having that wing play like last season. a lot of money for a cb that isnt even nailed

[@FPLFran]

there are some games I feel where he's played really offensive (inter, arsenal). He's clearly not the LW demon he was to close out 23/24 but still plays for City. Think it's a little bit like owning Robertson if you will.

[@KORAYHULK]

@@FPLFran replying post arsenal match. He was much more offensive this time. However the 10men no doubt played a part. 2shots on target 1super close to a goal. Now wondering if he has a spot on my wc...

Planning to cap semenyo in Gw6

fair enough, that's pretty wild but nice!

[@SayfTheDeen]

Why is Timber overlooked ?

[@FPLFran]

Depends on minutes imo. I think he can’t play 65-75 mins per game perpetually but if you have confidence he starts all then go for him

[@SayfTheDeen]

Thanks for always been invested in your community btw 👍🏻

[@medveten]

When will we start believing in jackson?

[@FPLFran]

I've been believing since last season. I just think that Chelsea have too much rotation so I can probably get more value elsewhere. I also think that we might be overreacting a touch to the perf. vs WHU (they are indeed awful)

[@musickiwi900]

I Already wildcard and I'm already regretting it.... oh well

[@youjustreadthis897]

How come you're regretting?

[@FPLFran]

why's that?

[@moalmousa8919]

Luis diaz instead of palmer and Jackson instead of either JP or DCL

[@FPLFran]

So basically last week’s point scorers?

[@moalmousa8919]

@@FPLFran luiz diaz is the secand most scorer in fpl He has been punishing me for the first GWs You can leave Jakson alone ,i think luiz diaz can civer salah since u don't have him

[@mkf628]

nice draft!

[@FPLFran]

thank you!

[@terrymalloy9416]

A good first draft. But I think Saka & Gvardiol are over valued - theres not as much attacking potency without Odegaard & Gvardiol is playing deeper because of Lewis. I'd rather Adama, Porro & a premium striker like Solanke/Watkins/Jackson

[@FPLFran]

yeah but the dropoff between Porro vs City defense is there. I don't mind a premium striker - Solanke is the most interesting to me

[@terrymalloy9416]

@@FPLFran this is true, but it depends how you view the next fixtures, & their contribution in them. Both with some nice fixtures. But if Pep deploys Lewis in the easier games, Gvardiol seems to drop into a back three (that said, he’s good for minutes!)

[@a.constantin]

i feel my wc4 bringing in salah was a mistake now...

[@FPLFran]

I don’t think so. Outcomes poor but he’s a captain choice again this gw
