S7 Ep7: FPL Pod: Salah must-have on Wildcard

Back to all FPL

Players discussed


Mohamed Salah

top
Kelly Somers: Salah is crucial to have in your team and is on track for another successful season.
Julien Laurens: Salah is a must-have and will continue to perform consistently throughout the season.
Sam Bonfield: You have to include Salah if you're wild carding.

Mark Flekken

budget
Sam Bonfield: I would prioritize Flecken because of his upcoming fixtures, despite facing City next.
Julien Laurens: Flecken can be a great 4.5 option due to Brentford's good fixtures after their tough start.
Kelly Somers: Flecken's performances make him a good choice for understanding Brentford's defense.

David Raya

Sam Bonfield: Raya is the best option as a keeper if you want to spend more for safety in points.
Julien Laurens: I would also recommend Raya for his reliability and defensive capabilities.
Kelly Somers: Raya's involvement in a solid Arsenal defense makes him a worthy pick.

Trent Alexander-Arnold

top
Kelly Somers: Trent is a top contender for defenders this season due to Liverpool's clean sheets.
Julien Laurens: Trent, Van Dijk, and Robertson are currently the best defenders due to their performances.
Sam Bonfield: Having Trent is essential for any wild card team considering his attacking threat.

Yoane Wissa

differential
Sam Bonfield: Wissa has surprised many with his points early this season.
Julien Laurens: Wissa is showing promise and could continue scoring given Brentford's attack.
Kelly Somers: Wissa's form is impressive, but I think consistency could be an issue.

Gvardiol

avoid
unsure
Sam Bonfield: I’m planning to include Gvardiol as he's been a big disappointment.
Julien Laurens: Gvardiol has hardly made an impact so switching him out is wise.

Eberechi Eze

differential
Sam Bonfield: I would have Eze in my team as he offers a good return.
Julien Laurens: Eze has been performing well and is undervalued.

Ollie Watkins

unsure
Sam Bonfield: Watkins has been struggling but is worth keeping based on potential.
Julien Laurens: Watkins is a solid pick, but you could also consider other forwards like Havertz.

William Saliba

top
Sam Bonfield: I would definitely have an Arsenal defender, like Saliba, if I was wild carding right now.
Julien Laurens: Arsenal has been strong defensively, making their defenders good picks.

Andrew Robertson

Julien Laurens: I would go for Trent, Robertson, and Virgil as the three best defenders right now.

Kai Havertz

top
Sam Bonfield: Havertz looks promising with the way he's playing lately.
Julien Laurens: I would definitely take Havertz in my squad for the upcoming matches.

Erling Haaland

top
Julien Laurens: Erling Haaland is a no-brainer and essential to have in any squad right now.
Sam Bonfield: You absolutely need to get him, he’s in incredible form.

Virgil van Dijk

top
Julien Laurens: Virgil and Robertson are great picks if you want Liverpool coverage, both are performing well.
Sam Bonfield: Absolutely expect them to keep doing well given their low price and high output.

Dean Henderson

avoid
unsure
Sam Bonfield: Dean Henderson is a frustrating pick. I’d like a new goalkeeper.
Julien Laurens: It’s not just you, many feel the same way about Henderson.

Alexander Isak

unsure
Sam Bonfield: Isak is a player I can see being effective throughout the season and has good fixtures ahead.
Julien Laurens: Isak will eventually have his chances and is worth keeping an eye on.
