Bonus Episode: FPL GW6 - Wildcard Drafting pt. 3 with Lateriser

And I think the sort of news that has been filtering in over the international break in terms of Konca having a slight knock, that's it, I think he's going to be fine.

But Saliba being on the grass and expected back in November... uh makes me think he doesn't have a really long rope uh in our teams as a pick as well that said four and a half 4.6 odd million for an arsenal defender is still great value but he's competing with some really good five million defenders who are offering more defcon potential not as much uh clean sheet potential but definitely more defcon potential which sort of makes up for it as well so Yeah, those are the few spots that I'm thinking about, but largely I'm feeling fairly settled.

nice yeah i think um the or i guess the the big players that you come in first so the arsenal and the chelsea ones to sort of dictate the structure of you know filling the places around them rather than going oh i much prefer king over gonzalo and that's gonna affect which arsenal player i'm putting it um so we've got a few drives so we've got the the raya calafuri concert one I would encourage people who are listening to this on audio only to come and look on YouTube.

This is quite a visual one that we'll be going through.

But I will read it out just for audio listeners.

We've got Raya Kalafiore-Konsa.

Kuiper, Gross, Rodgers, Cherky, Palmer, Gonzalo, Haaland, João Pedro, 4.0 on the bench, Kuiper, Bentley, King, Muharremovic and Silva.

So you've got two Fulham in there, two Brighton, I think those are in most of the teams as well.

You've got the triple Chelsea attack, triple Arsenal defence and then you know Muharremovic and Silva are these 5.0s that do just look like really good value and Not a great fix just for a week or two, but when you're wildcarding, you can build around that.

You can put De Kuyper in.

You can put your Arsenal guys for a couple of weeks, so then they come good.

in a few weeks down the line with our rotation.

Then the next one is a sort of similar version, but we've dropped Raya out for Saka.

So this one, I think, yeah, this is quite heavy in the attack.

You've got Palmer, Rodgers, Saka, Haaland, Danjao, Pedro, and drops Raya out for Verbruggen, and we drop Silva down to Thomas to afford that.

So that's a fairly similar one, but again, same sort of structure.

And Cherky's come out.

And then the final one that you said was probably the one that you were looking at the most in detail was a Raya, Calafuri, Saka one.

So we've got Tecoipa, Thomas, Mourão, Silva in there as well.

Gross.

Rodgers comes out for Sharda, Parma and Jair Pedraste, Gonzalo and Haaland, and Josh King is still there.

So, yeah, they're all kind of on the same theme.

I think we do, whatever week you wildcard in, you're going to be picking from the same sort of pool of players.

So it makes sense that the core is quite strong.

And it is, yeah, I think from thinking around myself, it does look like which Arsenal and which Chelsea you want is that dictating structure.
