Saving my WC as well, but since I have 2 forced transfers to make (Guehi and Sabitzer) I'll be relying heavily on a few results to go my way such as Portugal (4 in my team) vs France (1 in my team). Still reasonably positioned at exactly 30K, feeling the QF could be make or break.

You need to bear in mind that betting odds change because of the markets and where money has been placed not necessarily because the underlying probability has shifted

[SonnyStewart]

Ive moved up to second in the FPL Fran league.... no wildcard though so i excpect my run to come to an end!!!

[LarsDevos]

Strong wildcard team mate! I really like the idea of high recovery defenders.
I currently have Pickford & Costa // Le Normand, Cucurella, Guehi, Cancelo & Van Dijk // Gundogan, Musiala, Williams, Fernandes & Sabitzer // Kane, Mbappe & Morata. Im stuck between a wildcard this gw or the next one. Without a WC, my transfers will be Guehi, Sabitzer & Morata to De Vrij, Simons/Bellingham & Gakpo. That would give me a decent squad, but im worried about the heavy weight of Spain and Portugal against difficult opponents. Would you recommend a WC or not?
Btw im so happy to see how fast you're gaining subs during this tournament! Absolutely deservered!

[KalChoedan]

Probably a silly question, but will you be making a video about your own selection (i.e. without using your WC) or are you going to cover that in the pre-match vid?

[bambooape]

Gakpo captain boosted me to top15k, malen is a great option now if he starts

[rpanneto]

Smashed it 10k total, 97 points this round. Rudiger captained, big hits from nico and riuz with guehi van dyke Pepe costa

[Coupsie]

Fran, would you say WC MD5 is better than WC MD6?

[Lukeb]

Hey Fran is De Vrij purely a budget option or do you believe he is the 2nd best Dutch defender? I’ve seen quite a liking towards Ake in terms of defenders for the Netherlands.

Edit: Who would you play in goal between Verbruggen and Pickford? I have many bigger issues in my team so I am unfortunately unable to solve this problem.

[seanmorrissy]

I have somehow have the exact same draft just with some like for like swaps, such as Cancelo> Pepe and Ruiz>Rodri

[sebastiankrznaric]

How much points you lose to make more than 3 transfers? Is it even possible?

[TTTTTTTHH]

Is it good to get williams rodri dumfries kounde and gakpo instead of Baumgartner sabitzer guehi cancelo and morata for a -8?

[beaglo]

who are you transferring out of your team?

[garavo]

I have to remove 2 players (Guehi, Sabitzer) ... as for 3rd to replace Gundo for Musiala or in attack to add Gakpo and move Kane/Morata/Mbappe ? Of the 3 I find Morata to have biggest challenge vs Ger.

[debilitation]

have you actually locked in and used your wildcard chip or is this a hypothetical team for those like myself, who want to use WC? 😎

[cozmic_baller]

im kinda regretting using my wildcard as 3/4 matches are pretty much 50/50 but hoping this pays off:
2 england
1 swiss
4 dutch
0 turkye
1 german
3 spain
2 france
2 portugal

i can probably deal with 5 players eliminated but any more and im kinda screwed so im pretty much betting on spain and netherlands.
what do you think?

[garavo]

I wiffed on the Dutch... still managed cool 92 points and 288 overall.
Thinking of adding 3 Dutch players and moving Sabitzer, Guehi and possibly Mbappe and not playing the chip

[Joshhhh]

Hey Fran, what do you think about Yamal on wildcard?

[erenyeag]

Should i keep morata or take a hit for someone better?

[adriaanjordaan]

The biggest decision I have to make is if I should switch from Morata to Kane. Morata has been a liability so far. Any thoughts?
