Thanks mate! 🙏 I’ve got a lot riding on KDB, hopefully he outscores Bruno and some! 🤞 I think the trickiness of the wildcard was in recognizing that there’s no easy cleans and all the picks therefore look unappealing. I sold TAA this morning upon hearing the confirmation that Porro looks good, I also sold Gusto as ligament injuries can be lengthy and have put Cucurella in his place. These two final moves left me exact funds to go Burn to Trippier. But as a result, I’m now having to hold Haaland so I won't be able to gamble on Alvarez if we find that Haaland is still out this weekend, at which point I'll get Pedro in off the bench which I'm actually kind of hoping for weirdly. Ah Jackson Nunez 🙈 He is very much a 'I hope he avoids yellows and flukes a couple of goals' type of pick. Pedro is a much better footballer, and comes with pens. A slight chance of rotation yes, but I think he’s got a very good shot at playing all 4 remaining fixtures from kickoff. Plus, I simply enjoy watching Pedro play. If I buy Jackson and end up seeing the errors start to mount, continued poor attempts to finish and yellow cards for dissent, it will be a, shall we say, relatively infuriating few fixtures of viewing. Especially considering that's exactly what I'm expecting! Just watch him go and uncharacteristically smash it over the final 4 gameweeks and ruin my season 😅 Not all United fans are swerving United, but yes, many of us are. I'm not sure what will hurt more, Jackson hauling, or United turning it around and pulling in the FPL points. 😂 Gordon vs. SHU could easily be a double digit haul, way too juicy to pass up! Thanks for investing your time into watching the content and conversing in the comments, the pen palling has been a treasure trove of ideas helping me clarify a lot of thoughts. Your perspective has been considered and insightful. 🙏 Good luck for your wildcard, here’s hoping it doesn’t go completely tits up for us both 😂💪

​ Thanks for the kind words Steve! You're a class act. Have also enjoyed our fpl chats. Great to see the chunky green arrow you got last week. Onwards, upwards and beyond! 💪

117 points and benched Mateta!!! Oof, some week mate. 💪🚀 I bet Mateta is tough to look at on the bench, hopefully it doesn’t take too much of the shine of a stellar week. 216 points to jump to 16K from 350K? 🤯 Holy smokes! 🔥 That would have been one exceptional week of footy watching with all those points rolling in day upon day, must've been on cloud nine all week long.

@@GKneeIssYT Yeah I'm very happy with the week, up 30K ranks. Am worried about this week though but hopefully Son captain can shine.

Strewth, solid rank jump this week mate! Huge with only 4 gameweeks left. 💪 Indeed, there are quite a few variations available to wildcarders, let’s hope our WC teams outscore our old squads 🙈😅

Ooo, FH37! ❤‍🔥 Nice differential strategy you’re running there. 💪 Triple City attack is a pure upside chase. I'm aiming for a top 100K for the season and they look like the best bet to roll the dice on. 🎲

@@GKneeIssYTyeah ended up BB34, went fairly decent. Had 44 on the bench but technically Branthwaite would have been autosub for Haaland so 24 points. Felt there was a fair few what could have been moments after planning Mateta in all week but not doing it

​@@lachlancamilleri6690 Very respectable bench boost 💪I’m not sure I’ll beat that in GW37. Oof, what could have been indeed! Mateta was about 12 hours away from coming into my squad for a hit, I feel the pain mate. 🤕

Thanks. 🙏 Yip, slim pickings!

@@GKneeIssYT That's true.

Thanks for the props mate. 🙏 Top 100K is the goal, hopefully the lads crack it. Haha, ‘Jackson the horrible’ could score, he could even get a lucky couple, I just think it’s a lot less likely considering his opponents are decent and his finishing is pretty poor. But, he’ll earn at least 4 points for the gameweek which is a decent starting point, assuming he gets no yellows of course…. 🙈

I like to try and get as many of them into my team as I can 😂. Virgil has been a rough own for a few managers, I actually think he's been at fault for a few goals recently. So yeah, I think you're right, it’s a good time to jump the Liverpool ship, something’s a bit off and there are much more intriguing options about. Yeah the Darwin dodge worked pretty well, let's see if I get smacked by Jackson or not 🤣😅. Walker is a decent shout and not one I've seen talked about much. I don’t really like any of the defensive options, this gameweek or GW37, so they’re all a bit of a punt. Hence, I’m trying to focus on attacking options. To be honest, I haven't struggled owning Gusto over the lengthy spell I've held him for which was way back in GW19 on my wildcard, perhaps his price point was easy enough to bench. I think Petrovic and Vicario are probably the best BB keeper pairing, Ederson could be included too if you are happy to invest a City spot in net. They're all a bit of a punt, I don't see many cleans out there!

I mentioned Jackson’s suspension risk in my earlier video this week before Chelsea played, but not in this video, I only mentioned that he’s a yellow card magnet. Jackson is pretty much guaranteed 2 starts yes, but I think Pedro is pretty nailed too. Yes he’s got one less fixture, but if Jackson continues with his poor finishing I think Pedro has a decent shot at outscoring him. Plus, this is really my bench spot anyway, so it’s actually my 5th midfielder that I’m putting up against Jackson this week.

Going against Jackson was the catalyst for a relatively differential wildcard. I’m reading conflicting messages about Gusto, so I’m holding onto hope until at least the press conferences. 🤞 The reason I’ve ended up with Petrovic/Vicario is because I want Vicario for GW37 & GW38 (BUR, shu) and if I drop Petrovic I’m not going to be buying a different Chelsea player as I’ve ruled them all out. I get it though, it feels a bit weird to bench a doubler, but I think Petrovic has the best shot at cleans in GW37 so I’m simply buying him for that. I don't really like any of the doubling keeper options for this week or GW37, so it's all a punt really. I might even flip a coin to see who plays this week. Hopefully Sanchez doesn’t snipe Petrovic’s spot, but that's not enough of a reason for me to avoid him. If I get burned I get burned and I’ll reassess at that point. United aren't just a little rubbish, they have conceded 2 goals from SHU, 3 from COV, 30 shots per game from LIV, CHE, BRE and 20 shots from BOU. That's some tally from the last 6 matches... 🙈
