MY FPL GAMEWEEK 4 WILDCARD TEAM | SALAH & HAALAND! | Fantasy Premier League Tips 2024/25

[@ferdiagreene7399]

Always a great feeling when seeing a raptor video pop up first on my KZbin Home Screen from Sydney.🎉

[@FPLRaptor]

Big love! Hope you enjoyed mate

[@GHOSTHAWK51]

Love the content Ross! In the FPL content space you seem to be one of the only creators that has thoughts of your own and doesn't just conform to the template, love to see it!

[@FPLRaptor]

Thank you mate, really appreciate that!

[@gmord8694]

Ross has seen the light to get both salah and haaland

[@NelsonKavekenda]

😂

[@FPLRaptor]

Hahaha took me 4 weeks

[@hardslapper2868]

Dunk is also a useful pick for GW 9 when Arsenal play Liverpool and there are very few attractive defensive picks.

[@pringlecake]

Good video Ross. Jackson is the differential in my team at the moment; Verbruggen/Flekken TAA/Robbo/Robinson/Faes/Greaves Salah/Eze/Rogers/Semenyo/Mbeumo Haaland/Pedro/Jackson Funds to do Salah and Pedro to Saka and Havertz for GW6. Porro and Wissa for a defender and Jackson in 8. Obviously, none of this will happen as all my players will get sent off and/or break their legs in GW4.

[@ng3295]

I love the idea of Trent + Robbo. Strongly considering for my own team!

[@pringlecake]

@@ng3295I’m debating Robbo/Mbeumo vs Porro/Diaz, but I feel the former is a better long term combo

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

Don’t forget if you have a couple of transfers saved and you wildcard in 4 you still carry i those transfers over to 6 so getting arsenal back from 6 shouldn’t be a problem

[@Standard____]

0 free transfers and 2 hits taken 👍💪

[@UserMS101]

Jackson is one of the most frustrating player to own, more so if you decide to actually watch Chelsea games. He may do well but I rather go with Havertz, less so frustrating and I think he will have a huge season even with the looming difficult fixtures.

[@Christopher-ms5ke]

I hate Arsenal but you’re exactly right lol

[@giodebe1827]

You don't know how much frustrating was to own Havertz his first season at Chelsea. I had him in Fantasy draft. It was a nightmare

[@FPLRaptor]

Yeah Jackson is a polarising pick, most people will hate it, but for that exact reason he is a really nice differential

[@cathdan]

Arsenal looks burn out. Max they goal per game seems 2 than they will relax and stop attacking. Not good for forwards

[@LvvLndv]

Appreciate your effort on these videos, Ross! I'm planning a wildcard on GW6 and still watching this to get a vague idea and plan on the fixtures.

[@FPLRaptor]

Glad to help!

[@jagerxone4155]

Just activated my wildcard and then this came out so I can see if it was right choice.

[@catherinescott6415]

Thank you !!! Hoping to hold out to GW 6 for WC but still super interesting content 🤩🤩

[@Matt.Riley01]

Like both drafts. Your Salah first XI is basically my GW3 WC except Havertz and Mbeumo instead of Saka and Minteh (torn between Roger’s and Mbeumo for bench next week). On the AI rating…mine was 97% but (I guess) the flags on Watkins and Palmer, the rating has gone down to 95% so the AI still prefers Salah only I think. I would caveat that with me already having booked transfers in GW6 & 7 to go triple Arsenal and Haaland, so this has an effect too. Thanks as always Ross 👏

[@fletcherb10]

I'm not a big fan of the Jackson pick personally.But a very well balanced team!

[@FPLRaptor]

Thanks mate! Yeah plenty of other options at a similar or cheaper price

[@maximomgwadira1687]

You're a legend. Learnt a lot from your channel king!

[@FPLRaptor]

Thank you very much!

[@maximomgwadira1687]

@@FPLRaptor also for the first time I went a bit left from the get go 😅. Håland, TAA and Salah draft from GW1. Currently 278k rank. Following your assertions closely for considerations going forward. Decided I'd rather work in reverse by having them in my team and if need be can easily shift to other assets by either selling one when the time is right. Or, look at what I have in differentials and make some lateral switches.

[@kyalo_kioko]

Now that Odegaard is out,...Porro is on my bench.Should i bring him on in place of:Mitchell(LEI) or Pau(EVE)?

[@ethan3920]

Haven’t wildcarded yet, just love Ross’ soothing voice

[@FPLprofeta]

Hi What do you think about Kadioglu? Any chance to play? Thank you

[@willembuysman5217]

Keyword with Rico Lewis "If"

[@d1309forrest]

I have a striker dilemma Raptor - need to choose one of Wissa, Nketiah, Duran. What do you think? My other two strikers are haaland and J.pedro

[@bask177]

DCL

[@cntorro]

Wissa the only one of those three that is starting for now. So seems quite easy to me.

[@odin8809]

Cred for mentioning Evanilson, havent heard anyone else do.if you want to stack on 7 price + midfield, hes a good rotation option with others budget strikers due to structure. I think Theres a chance he will become better, and he also will be well rested after international games, while Semenyo will be gone in international duty. Thats why i will probably play him over Mbuemo which i bench against City, before i will permastart Mbuemo. Later i will rotate Evanilson with DCL or Welbeck

[@livij6017]

Simply BRILLIANT, Raptor! Thanks, mate!

[@FPLRaptor]

You’re welcome mate, thanks for watching!

[@please-wake-up-now]

Loving the wildcard vibes! 🤩 It's cool to see how many folks are going for Salah and Haaland. Makes me wonder if they’ll both end up being must-haves for the entire season. Fingers crossed for some amazing points! 🙌⚽

[@richardpaley]

Really useful, included some players I hadn't considered

[@FPLRaptor]

Glad to hear!

[@Rigg96]

Not wildcarding but still watched the whole thing, genuinely insightful content!

[@FPLRaptor]

Thank you so much!

[@danielgreen4489]

Awesome content! I’ve started well with luck on my side… however I feel like I have to get Salah in… on the flip side it seems that GW6 is the ideal time To use WC… I’m currently at 30k rank I’ve got Trent & Jota but not having Salah.. is killing me… my question is Salah right now a must To use WC or wait for GW6?

[@calzy4]

Hi Ross, would you got Trent and minteh or robertson and mitoma? Has been playing on my mind for the last week so would appreciate help 😂

[@steedscotia741]

Hi Ross. Have seen that Quansaah is dropping again so I will have lost .3 mil. I have no FT so do you suggest I wc oto limit team value loss or just suck it up and accept the loss. I have just left him last on the bench. Had always planned to wc in gw6. Cheers.

[@paulallen4622]

Much easier to Haaland and release the funds to move off him than it is to go without and raise the funds to get him in

[@123kaired]

Not true. Haaland is never going to be a "bad asset" . You'll always convince yourself to keep

[@Rassalcon]

My surrent wildcard draf is: Martinez (or Raya, not sure yet and can afford either), Fabianski TAA, Robertson, Dunk, Pau, Greaves Salah, Palmer, Saka, Eze, Semenyo (Or mintah) Pedro, Wissa, Wood It's rated 97% on FFH and I'm very Happy with it

[@garethloosemore9250]

Ross I am thinking of a wc and have a 99% rating on it, should I go ahead this week. Team is Raya, TAA, Robertson, Gvardiol, Salah 3xc, Saka, Palmer, Eze, Semenyo, Wood and JP, bench Fabianski Hwarwood B, Pau, Ui- Jo.

[@ThillyThauthageth]

There is truth to "covering". Its definitely a factor. Diaz covered for Salah, Madueke for Palmer and Robertson for TAA. Yes it won't always workout obviously but there is a correlation

[@whodisguy1016]

First I’m loving the content these day 700k My team is :Henderson,Burn,Gvardiol,TAa,Jota,Salah,eze,Gordon,Palmer,Joao Pedro,Watkins Thoughts?

[@farzy6406]

What do you think of De Bruyne? His underlying data is really good and he’s passing the eye test. Basically played 90min 3 times. Only thing I’m worried about is champions league. Do you think this will affect his minutes in the prem and is he an option as a third premium?

[@ekkepekke8958]

Nice video as always. Don't love that Thriller guy though.

[@FPLRaptor]

Hahaha you won't be alone in that

[@matti007]

Where can I get an FDR chart that includes all the clubs in Europe? have you taken into consideration team rotation for clubs in Europe? Thanks

[@EdgeOfNowhere2024]

Is adama a viable option for Fulham ? 0.1 cheaper than Rogers and he’s got the returns as well 😊

[@Barasa-13]

I'd prefer Smith Rowe, a bit high price but more promising.

[@Cuchulainn666]

I got him in after his assist gw2, looks really good this year, seems to have worked on his end product aswell!

[@gabrielburlacu7710]

I'm on wildcard too, I've got KDB in my draft. He's going to be a differential and being looked past.

Hey champ love your podcast im yeah buddy currently top 5 in the world 1st in australia and 1st arsenal Fingers grossed this year Wishing you the best from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Britton0932]

Thoughts on this WC draft: GK Henderson (Fabianski) DEF Pedro Porro Lewis Robertson (Keane Faes) MID Dias Mitoma Salah Eze Semenyo FOR Havertz Haaland (Stewart)

[@craizzyblue]

any idea around Vardy? he’s on a decent run of fixtures, on penalties & rotate well with Semenyo or Rogers

[@Carlitros1103]

Ross I already have Jota on my team. Would you do Saka to Salah or keep Saka and go Rogers for Luis Diaz?

[@TomsIRL]

Considered Pickford? Fixtures are amazing and with the ability to bank more transfers, I think swapping goalkeepers later on is more feasible now

[@Mr__T__7777]

I think your WC depends on how many banked transfers you have. If 2+ you can pick optimally and leave out Arsenal like in this draft. If you haven't got any FT transfers, then you gotta pick with WC6 in mind and cover some of the Arsenal/Brentford picks to help you save transfers going forward.

[@shaunl23]

mine is rated 97: Raya Fab Trent Robbo Lewis Faes Greaves Salah eze Mbeumo Rogers Winks Haaland Jackson Pedro Gw6- Jackson to Havertz Thoughts? I have exactly 0.5 itb for the jackson to havertz move, may get konsa for lewis for guaranteed game time + 0.1 more itb

[@NelsonKavekenda]

After watching this video I am leaning towards wildcarding in Game Week 6

[@amanred9337]

I haven't planned a specific week for when I use my wildcard. Im currently happy with my team bar Henderson and a couple of players on my bench but want to see how many players get injured after the international break.

[@KasperPSR]

Strong team, but i honestly still prefer Jota to Diaz. I fancy him to score more goals.

[@oceanic1290]

i think as the season goes on he's gonna turn more into what firminho was for liverpool and kind of link up play more than actually scoring goals and salah and diaz will be the main goal getters

[@FPLRaptor]

I would normally agree, just think in this current system, Jota is doing a lot more of the link up play and Diaz/Salah are getting into the better goalscoring positions

[@jag_purwaha1]

Great GW4 draft team - think it’s the best I’ve seen ‘so’ far

[@FPLRaptor]

Thanks!

[@aldanchua6114]

thinking of doing solanke and quansah to joao pedro and robertson but quansah seems to be dropping in price again soon. now that u said joao pedro may not start i’m not sure if i should make the 2 early transfers anymore because i need the money from solanke to get robertson

[@FPL_Habesha]

damn I really hate international break. keep the contents coming mate!

[@FPLRaptor]

Thanks bro!

[@cntorro]

Would you use a FT in GW5 to get Salah, if that means getting him out possibly in WC6? Or just go without him to save up the WC?

[@gnasherunited4432]

Your first wildcard draft is very similar to mine, I have martinez, pau, robertson, digne, robinson, semenyo, salah, diaz, haaland, jackson, pedro with soucek gabriel and smith rowe on the bench for now. Villa and Liverpool's fixtures too good. Would rather have TAA but Robinson cheaper for same clean sheet chance (yes les attacking), two villa defenders and goalie because next 6 or so games insanely good and expect 3-4 clean sheets, semenyo and pedro both cheap enough with enough potential goal threat, jackson is just going to get chances in that team. 6 weeks from now I would guess would feel less happy about Villa defenders but soucek and gabriel can both come in plus can transfer if necessary. So not quite the same but close. Eze I hear ya and as well as he started I just have feeling that Palace going to continue to struggle and he might too. Still have $1.1M in bank

[@craizzyblue]

sorry man but 3 defence players from one team is so bad imagine losing around 12 points just for one goal.. at least get dunk to replace pau 🙃

[@aup4678]

Hey Ross, just to let you know for no reason we have a lot in common. My names Ross, probably similar ages, bald, beard and a similar team. Who cares?

[@aup4678]

@@joestockton7016I’d say it’s slightly more oval

[@Anonymous-f5g]

Brilliant vid as always Ross. Not planning to wildcard this week probably will do Bailey to a 5.5 or Isak to Wissa/another cheap forward and Bailey to Mbeumo/Eze. Any preference from anyone? (I have 3 free transfers)

[@brandonsansom2861]

Is it a waste of 2 transfer to do haaland&mgw to solanke&salah in gw5 before a wildcard gw6

[@paulallen4622]

Im on WC this week myself So far its looking like Flekken / Fabianski Rico Lewis, Digne, Robertson, Greaves, Bednarek Eze, Rogers, Palmer, Semyeno, Salah João pedro, Haaland, Wissa Will bring in Mbeumo when the fixtures turn good as well

[@muratpsy]

Ross, the thing about Haaland is this, and I am sure you already covered this in your brain: That man radiates a feeling just because he can perform a double hattrick in 90 minutes and also can do this consecutively. By the way, I am a Salah person, too. What's your take on this argument?

[@matthewlee7706]

Watkins didn't score till gameweek 6 then after than he was one of the the best options last season think he's definitely been overlooked.

[@NelsonKavekenda]

Watkins is flagged (injured) and I am tempted to bring in Duran 🤔

[@FPLRaptor]

I think Watkins is fine honestly, this happens all the time with international breaks

[@alexanderwillywils4398]

I know midfielders who can assist and score but I don't know a striker who can score a hattrick on a regular basis. Sticking to Haaland and cover Liverpool attack with Diaz

[@FPL_UPROAR]

Mitoma also plays on september 10. Adingra too. So i think there will be less options anyway, if pedro is fit he will play 75 for sure

[@FPLRaptor]

Well spotted. A day extra to recover and slightly shorter distance in terms of flight could make the difference though

[@shentser01]

Surely hinges on Pedros minutes for Brazil?

[@FPL_UPROAR]

@@FPLRaptor Yeah, good point. Mitoma and Adingra definitely have the advantage with shorter flights 7 hours vs. Pedro’s 13. About João Pedro, he’s stepping in for an injured player who isn’t a regular starter for Brazil. Most likely, he’ll just come off the bench for 15 minutes or so, if at all. I don’t see him starting either. Something to keep in mind

[@mickbanner]

Do you think the rhetoric to play WC in GW4 & GW6 is gonna make 90% of engaged managers play it then? Maybe bcus ive had ok start 550k. But it feels like managers sitting at 2m are jumping too early to WC. There's another 16 GWs until new year. Plenty of strong fixture swings. The GW6 WC isnt THAT good either. ARS have 3 good fixtures...but then back to bad. With European football, inevitable clusters of injuries, and congested Xmas football...i truely believe there will be a better opportunity to WC (obviously team dependent)

[@gsampson97]

I've got to decide between Alisson or a premium defender like Porro or Lewis. I'm leaning towards Alisson

[@volder0070]

Having 3 Newcastle players leads me to WC this week since i can't do any major changes without 3+ transfers with price changes being brutal. I would also sabe 4 transfers this way, its temping..
