Pros and Cons of FPL GW30 Wildcard

Pros:

• If your team is a bit weak for GW30 then you can wildcard this week to set up a good team for GW30 while also planning for GW34. A decent strategy if you have the FH left as well for GW32.

Cons

• Good gap from now till GW34 which could potentially hamper a few bench boost plans if there are injuries
• Might have to take a gamble on Liverpool assets who are expensive and have not been consistent but double in GW34 plus play in Blank gameweek 32.
• If you don’t have the bench boost chip then there could be a benching dilemma in DGW34.

FPL GW30 Wildcard Drafts

FPL GW30 Wildcard Draft 1

(Plan to use Free Hit in GW32 & Bench Boost in GW34)

• This draft is for managers who have a Free Hit and Bench Boost left. Free Hit can be used to navigate the Blank in GW32 and Bench Boost to attack the Double in GW34.
• No Kane is a risk involved in this draft
• Can fully target Brighton, City, and Man United assets without worrying about the GW32 blank(where Free Hit can be used)

• City Triple up of Haaland, Ederson, and Grealish with City having 2 Double Gameweeks in GW34 and GW37. With City still in the title race, City assets could perform really well.
• Double up on Brighton Midfield with Brighton likely to have 3 Double Gameweeks in 4 weeks from GW34-GW37.

• Isak and Watkins are both in-form and pick themselves.
• Ederson is the main keeper with two doubles for City in GW34 and GW34. He is the mostly nailed City defensive asset. Fabianski can be the bench keeper and can be played on the GW34 bench boost.
• Note: Shaw was injured and taken off after just 37 minutes in the second game of DGW29.

Ten Haag on Shaw injury:

“In this moment, I can’t give an answer because we have to wait 24 hours, then we can make the diagnosis. I don’t want to comment at this moment.”

If he is ruled out, Varane and Lisandro Martinez are both good options with the RB spot still a toss up between Dalot and AWB.

How the Draft will look in FPL DGW34

(Bench Boost)- Without doing any transfers

• Bench Boost activated for GW34 with 13-14 Doublers.
• The image above shows the GW34 Bench Boost draft without doing any transfers between GW30 and GW34. Planned transfers in GW33, and GW34 can be Chilwell to a Man United defender and Watkins to Martial/Ings based on form and fitness at that time. Isak is kept instead of Watkins as Newcastle are likely to double again in GW36.

FPL GW30 Wildcard Draft 2

(No Free Hit available & Bench Boost in GW34)

• This draft sets your team well for GW32 Blank(without using Free Hit) as well as GW34 and GW37 Doubles.

How the Draft will look in FPL BGW32?

(Blank GW)- Without doing any transfers

• 9 players for Blank Gameweek 32 without doing any transfers.

How the Draft will look in FPL DGW34?

(Bench Boost)- With planned transfers

• 11 Doublers for GW34(Bench Boost)
• Two planned transfers used for GW33-GW34. Jesus and Martinelli to Bruno Fernandes and Ferguson.

FPL GW30 Wildcard Draft 3

(No Bench Boost available & Free Hit in GW32)

• Strong squad with Three premiums- Haaland, Kane and Salah with less money spent on bench due to No Bench Boost.
• Gw32 blank can be navigated with the help of Free Hit.

How the Draft will look in FPL DGW34?

• This is the team for GW34 without doing any transfers. Watkins to one of the Doublers(Martial/Ings/Jota) is one of the transfers that can be done for GW34 to field a eleven with 10 Double Gameweek players+ Trippier.
• Above squad is well set for the likely GW37 Double as well with 9 Doublers already.
