Although this is a relatively calm week for those of us who do not have certain Erling Haaland (£ 14.2 million), starting next week and so on, everything becomes quite interesting.

Overview of Ticker Season: Nine Gameweks Next

Gameweek 6 Wildcard

Gameweek 6 has appeared as one of the windows of Wildcard (besides Gameweek 8 and 13) due to shift in equipment, especially for haaland, Cole Palmer (£ 10.4 million) and Arsenal.

While the entrance point is not the best for players from the Gunners, they will be very popular from Gameweek 7, given their running.

Haaland took half of the league for the expected goal (XG) at this time and it seemed like a very interesting choice to have from Gameweek 6.

FPL manager has a decision to make whether it is together or without Mohamed Salah (£ 14.5 million), which has some attractive equipment from Gameweek 8. How the percentage of goal distribution changes once Alexander Isaac (£ 10.4 million) Being ordinary will also be interesting, but the initial sign is that he might be good for Florian Wirtz (£ 8.4 million) and wrong, because of its completely abilities seem to increase the two players in the Champions League on Wednesday.

When coming to Arsenal, there are already a number of question marks about Viktor‘(£ 9.0 million) initial subs, but he still looks good temporarily Kai Havertz (£ 7.4 million) injured and he still uses a penalty. Arsenal defenders look like a good choice regardless of.

When coming to Chelsea, with the exception of Liverpool at home, they have good equipment for the medium term starting from Gameweek 6. Palmer also seems to show signs to return to the best.

Gameweek 8 Wildcard

Outside Gameweek 6, Gameweek 8 appears as a good window (if you can get to Haaland for Burnley at home without wildcard) because it will pursue the Chelsea V Liverpool game.

This is also right before Gameweek 9, which seems to be a good window to increase allowances with appropriate equipment for our assets at the lowest price playing from Burnley and Leeds United, as well as good equipment for most teams that will be popular in Wildcard.

Gameweek 8 is also good for the encouragement of benches (because of Burnley and Leeds United equipment), but immediately after international rest, and we have seen some random benches because this before, that is why I was not very interested.

If you are wildcard in Gameweek 6, you can save a transfer for the Gameweek 9 Bench push if there is a surprise/injury, and if you are wildcard at Gameweek 8, it will be closer to Gameweek 9 Bench Boost and ideally have fewer problems to be fixed.

How will I make my wildcard decision

I don’t know if I want Wildcard in Gameweek 6 or not.

To make my answer clearer, I have built Dummy Gameweek 6 Wildcard Draft, which you can see below.
