THE ULTIMATE GW6 WILDCARD THREAD 🧵 If you’re activating your WC this week, this thread covers: ✅ Fixtures to target ✅ Best picks by position ✅ Chip strategy ✅ Sample drafts 👉 Follow me @_TalkFPL 🔁 RT to help others Let’s go ⬇️
Why GW6? • We've had 5 weeks to analyse which teams we were right and wrong about, and to hold those who weren't performing not to kneejerk •Fixture swings: Your current team isn’t set up to effectively target the upcoming GW’s •Haaland (BUR H) looks essential.

📅 Fixtures to target: •Arsenal: Favourable fixtures from GW7 (WHU, ful, CRY, bur, sur, TOT) •City: Haaland vs BUR (H) then bre, EVE, avl •Bournemouth: Had the 2nd most difficult start as per OPTA, but came through (lee, FUL, cry, NFO, MCI, avl) Spurs: Wolves in GW6, then lee
Use this as an opportunity to sell your poor assets as well Forest: Good in GW1, but poor since they sacked Nuno. Villa: Only just scored their 1st goal, haven’t been near good enough Wirtz included in this as well, maybe the player just isn’t performing Guiu who’s price is
🧤 Goalkeepers: 1st Keeper 🥇 Raya (ARS): Arsenal have great defensive fixtures going forward 🥈 Donnarumma (MCI): 🥉 Petrovic (BOU): Only £4.5m, Gives a good route into the BOU defence and leaves room to spend more elsewhere 2nd Keeper Dubravka: £4m, the only playing one.
🛡️ Defenders to target Gabriel: Another viable arsenal pick, the safest for minutes, good set piece threat, and can even get Defcon Timber: Slightly more risky pick, as he may rotate with White, but has the CS and immense attacking threat. Gvardiol: City defence worth having,
Cheaper options: Senesi: 10/10 defcon points, and a set-piece threat Richards & Andersen: 4.5m, defcon and CS viable (I prefer Andersen) Dan Burn: Newcastle have kept 4 clean sheets in 5 GW’s £4m options Mukiele/Alderete: SUN are 7th in the table, and these 2 have been Defcon
💸 Premium Midfielders Bruno Fernandes: Whether playing in the 8 or 10, he get’s into great positions for hauls, plays 90 minutes, is on penalties, and get’s Defcon (averages 10.9 per 90 minutes) Salah: Wouldn’t have at the expense of certain players, but you can’t not consider
⚡️ Mid-price MIDs: Semenyo: Great form, confidence and fixtures suited to him. Many avenues to points, even hit Defcon last game Mbeumo: Massive xGI, great eye-test and massively improved fixtures going forward. Ndiaye: Everton’s talisman, on pens, great xMins, excellent
💡 Budget MIDs Caicedo: Regularly hits Defcon, and might get an occasional G/A Stach: Got a goal, assist, defcon and 3 bonus last game, and Leeds look a lot better relatively than the promoted sides of the last few years Anthony: great bench option to come on when needed, had
⚽️ Forwards: Haaland: Essential. That’s all I need to say Gyokeres: Bar GW6, he has good fixtures, in an attacking Arsenal side. Havertz is out, so that improves his minutes. On penalties as well. Joao Pedro: The most owned player for a reason. 5 G/A in 5 GW’s, strong xMins,
Cheaper options: RIcharlison: Solanke still not fully fit after injury, and Kolo Muani out… This greatly helps Richarlison on top of his great fixtures like Kudus. 3 goals, 1 assist, and even a good GW8 fixture if you have an 8 man attack for BB8 Muniz: Looks like Fulham’s
🚀 Some great drafts for WC6 Very template, Evanilson the exception. Good bench cover for BB8 I’m assuming
This is the team of @FPLMattW You can see the template forming, but don’t worry as it’s the template for a reason
Team of @FPLFalse9 Salah and Haaland! This draft is slightly more refreshing, not only the 2mium, but Kudus, Muniz and VDV in there. KDH I like as a budget option, but would much rather have Ndiaye instead.
CHIP STRATEGY 🔧 Bench Boost setup: WC6 → BB8 or 9 is 🔑. Load up on: 15 starters (4.0 GKs + cheap DEFs). Try and target budget players with good fixtures in GW8/9 or whenever you plan to BB. For reference, Leeds play Burnley in GW8 and Sunderland play Wolves Set up now to
🎓 TRIPLE CAPTAIN IF you are not playing a chip in GW6 I’d strongly advise to use the Triple Captain on Erling Haaland, it’s almost a no brainer If not, target a player, preferably an attacker, who plays one of the bottom 5/6 teams Ie. Salah Vs WOL Burnley is the exception as
👀 Final wildcard checklist: ✅ 3 Arsenal (Raya/Gabriel/Timber?/Gyokeres) ✅ Haaland locked ✅ 1–2 Spurs (Kudus/RIcharlison/VDV) ✅ Target the Talisman ✅ Plan for BB/TC Keep it simple. Don’t overthink it.
