Good Budget Defenders Rotation on FPL GW13 Wildcard
Mee/Henry and Dunk
Rotating Mee/henry and Dunk will help you avoid the top six games. The two teams also play the same oppositions, Aston Villa and Wolves who are both struggling to score. Villa(7) and Wolves(5) are bottom two for goals scored this season.
Kehrer/Zouma and Mee
Brentford and West Ham rotation also is equally good with three home games to Bournemouth, Wolves and Leicester. The only away game is Forest.
White and Kehrer/Zouma
White and Zouma rotation also skips the top six and is a good combination.
Guehi and Mee/Henry
Palace and Brentford rotation gives you two fixtures against Forest in GW15 and GW16!
FPL GW13 Wildcard Drafts
FPL GW13 Wildcard Draft 1
- Template Wildcard midfield of Salah, Saka, Martinelli and Foden who are all in great form
- Haaland, Mitrovic, Trippier pick themselves.
- Toney has good fixtures till GW16- Villa(A), Wolves(H), Forest(A), City(A) but it is to be noted that he is on 4 yellow cards and is a slight risk.
- 2.0 million in the bank allows you to get Trent/Robbo in GW14 if required. Can make any transfers if there is a suspension or injury. That money would be useful.
- Castagne is a slightly risky Differential considering the inconsistent Leicester defense, but looked really good on the eye test and can haul even in attack.

FPL GW13 Wildcard Draft 2
- This draft has Zaha who has good fixtures till the Worldcup and is the talisman for Palace
- We have also gone with Guehi/Henry as 4.5 defenders pairing who rotate well as seen above
- With Konate out for a minimum of 10 days as confirmed by Klopp, Gomez comes in as 2-week punt for GW13, GW14 vs Forest(A), Leeds(H). Gomez also looked really good at CB vs Manchester City
- Going with Jesus is a slight risk as he is on 4 yellow cards.

FPL GW13 Wildcard Draft 3
- The third striker spot is taken up by Solanke who has been in great form with 20 points from GW10, GW11 courtesy 2 goals and 2 assists. You can bench him for GW13, GW14 and play him in GW15, GW16 when Solanke plays Leeds and Everton.
- This is a good strategy that avoids the Toney and Jesus who are both in 4 yellow cards.
- These funds help you to get a Three-mium defense- TAA, Trippier, and Cancelo and also allows a string midfield of Saka, Salah, Foden, Martinelli, Eze. Eze has better underlying numbers than Zaha over the last 3 weeks and you can also save the 2.0 million there.
Eze vs Zaha(GW10-GW12)
- Expected Goals- 0.81 vs 0.73
- Expected Assists- 0.54 vs 0.50
- Big chances- 2 vs 1
- Total shots- 7 vs 10
- FPL Points- 23 vs 16

FPL GW13 Wildcard Draft 4
- Triple Arsenal and Man City draft
- Eze over Zaha allows some flexibility in getting White in defense and also have Toney for his good fixtures.
- Toney could also be someone like Scammaca who is a good differential.
- The only drawback is no Liverpool defender, Liverpool have some amazing fixtures. Although you can downgrade Toney and use the funds to upgrade Kepa to Alisson or switch Tarkowski to Gomez. Gomez particularly could be a great two-week option as Liverpool anyway play Spurs in GW15.
FPL GW13 Wildcard Draft 5
- Triple Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man City draft
- The bench is slightly weak in this draft but the starting 11 is a thing of beauty.
- You can upgrade on the bench by switching TAA to Guehi and then upgrading Guaita to Alisson. The extra fund can be used to upgrade Archer to a budget striker.
