We can all agree on the fact that there is no winning formula for building an ideal team in FPL. Players predicted to be exceptional failed to excite fans in the opening Gameweek, on the other hand, clubs which had low chances of making it even to the middle of the table have managed to be at the top half.
Richarlison, the Everton attacker proved to be worthy in the first two Gameweeks, later disappointed every manager by getting sent off during the third Gameweek. Harry Kane, the most expensive striker in the FPL has yet to showcase his artistry.
There have been many highs and lows for FPL managers regarding their team selections, many managers will be looking for alternatives to change their current lineup using the wildcard to get the best players for the rest of the season, and increase their chances of winning the league.
Trending
Here is a list of players who were analysed as per their recent performances and future potential.
#1 Marcos Alonso - Chelsea
There has been a lot to doubt regarding which player to choose between Marcos Alonso and Azpilicueta. Both Spanish defenders are lethal when it comes to delivering crosses to the attackers or defending a counter-attack, but the fact is that Alonso's passing chemistry with the attackers makes him more favourable, while Azpilicueta has been seen attempting to score, but with a low success rate.
Alonso has added 1 goal to his list, and provided 2 assists for Chelsea till date, and is first on the defender points table in the FPL.
#2 Andrew Robertson - Liverpool
Robertson has been a star defender for Liverpool with regards providing two crucial assists and clean sheets till date. He is quick while performing a counter-attack and creates an ideal space on the left wing to give quality crosses to the attack.
Liverpool currently tops the table, and with Salah as the most captained player so far this season, Robertson could provide assists and clean sheets, scoring high points for your fantasy team.
#3 Roberto Pereyra - Watford
Watford's performance this season was unexpected, they are still unbeaten and were able to defeat Spurs in their previous match. Noteworthy players such as Holebas, Cathcart, Deeney and Pereyra have been able to make the club stand right at the top with elites. However, many experts believe that Watford's winning spree is a bubble about to burst.
Pereyra has scored 3 goals in the last 4 matches, scoring 28 points in FPL. At a price of £6.3 million, he would be an ideal addition to your team, besides the regular stars such as Salah, Hazard and Moura.
#4 James Milner - Liverpool
After the arrival of Naby Keita at the club, the Liverpool midfield has become strong, and is frequently threatening rival clubs. Milner can be an economical and deserving player in your updated squad. Other than being a permanent fixture for the club, he also takes most of the free-kicks and penalties for Liverpool.
#5 Richarlison - Everton
The Brazilian striker surprised many FPL managers by getting red carded in his third match against Bournemouth, Richarlison is the most enthralling youth in the current Everton squad. He was able to score twice in his first match, and is brilliant in creating space and positioning in the attack.
His recent performance in the international friendlies where he was able to score 2 goals alongside Neymar and Coutinho has raised fan expectations.
#6 Lucas Moura - Tottenham Hotspur
He grabbed attention after the match against Manchester United. He easily managed to score twice against a strong United defense, as Spurs beat United 0-3.
Tottenham are top contenders in the race for the league title, and along with Harry Kane in the attack, Lucas Moura would be a wise choice as he seems to be in good form this season. We can certainly expect some points from him.
#7 Sadio Mane / Mohamed Salah - Liverpool
Both of them are extremely talented players, and have proven their worth in the past. In order to get the ideal squad using the wild card, you must have a correct balance of players which suits the budget.
If you choose Mohamed Salah who costs £13 million, you will have to compromise in defence or attack, and there is no doubt that he is one of most valuable players in the EPL, making the selection worth risking.
If you don't wish to compromise, and require a quality attack/defence, you can select Sadio Mane, who could be a prime substitute in place of Salah.
Mane has scored 3 goals in the last 4 matches, and currently is in first position with regards midfield points in FPL.
#8 Harry Kane - Tottenham Hotspur
The World Cup Golden Boot winner was able to break his August curse, but still has not managed to dazzle the fans. While this may be true, Harry Kane's recent performances could be the silence before the storm of goals coming in the near future.
The wildcard can only be used once per season, so it is better to take his future potential into consideration, neglecting the present scenario. A combination of either Kane/Mane or Salah/Moura could benefit your squad.
#9 Glenn Murray - Brighton & Hove Albion
FPL is not just about the big names, it is also about the players who are a key part of their teams, and their club victories largely depends on their performances. These players are able to score high overall points in FPL. One such player is Glenn Murray who has scored 3 goals in the last 4 matches for Brighton.
Glenn is in top form this season, and Brighton's victory against Manchester United might have increased the overall confidence of the team. This would help them gain an advantage over the less competitive teams, and score some points.
#10 Sergio Aguero - Manchester City
The Manchester City squad is vulnerable to changes, which makes it risky for managers to select the right players. Pep Guardiola with so many options, keeps on experimenting with the squad. In spite of that, Sergio Aguero is a regular in the starting eleven.
Aguero's stunning hat-trick against Huddersfield made him stand out among the Premier League's greatest strikers. He looks to be in great shape and form this season, and can be trusted with the triple captain card when competing against an easy going opponent.
Other options
Eden Hazard - Chelsea
Mendy - Manchester City
Holebas - Watford
Mitrovic - Fulham
Walcott - Everton
Pedro - Chelsea.
Fraser - Bournemouth
