FPL fans on social media think they may have created the perfect wildcard draft ahead of the Premier League’s return this weekend.
The first international break of the 2024/25 season has ended, and fans are eagerly anticipating the return of club football this weekend.
With the return of club football comes the return of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), and managers are excited to make changes to their teams. As the FPL gameweek four deadline approaches, some fans believe they have crafted the perfect wildcard team for the upcoming matches.
The wildcard ‘chip’ in FPL allows managers to make unlimited changes to their team before the gameweek deadline, giving them the freedom to restructure their squads.
Many FPL managers are using their wildcard for gameweek four, and a team shared on social media by @FPLThorpey is being touted as an ideal draft. The lineup features top performers Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah, the two highest-scoring players so far this season.
Despite including the game’s most expensive players, the squad also boasts four additional penalty takers and several in-form players with favorable fixtures ahead. Liverpool winger Luis Diaz, who recently scored a brace against Manchester United, is included in midfield, alongside Eberechi Eze, Antoine Semenyo, and promising youngster Morgan Rogers.
Up front, Haaland is partnered with Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Brighton’s Joao Pedro, who is among the most transferred-in players for the weekend.
