The season so far

It was a difficult start to the season.

It is of course still early days, but everyone wants to do well, and picking up only 24 points in Gameweek 3 was far from ideal.

Injuries have been a recurring theme so far.

Cole Palmer (£ 10.4 million), Bukayo from (£ 9.8 million), Matheus Cunha (£ 8.0 million), Georgia Rutter (£ 5.9 million) and Jorgen Strand Larsen (£ 5.9 million) have all taken injuries from a description, some more serious than others, so of course I considered a wildcard.

Based on the feedback from my recent Team Unveiled VideoIt seems that most have already pressed the button!

However, I think it is a difficult time for joker sign based on the competitions, plus the fact that I still try to work so many teams.

My club, Aston Villa, is a good example. We’ve been terrible so far, so if I Wildcard Ezri Consa (£ 4.5 million), Youri Tielemans (£ 5.9 million) and Ollie Watkins (£ 8.9 million).

But earlier experience tells me that they will turn it around, especially with Everton, Sunderland, Fulham and Burnley afterwards.

The danger is that I sit on them for too long and further behind, but if I really believe Harvey Elliott (£ 5.4 million) Is the missing ingredient, why would you take them out now, just before their good run of luminaires?

When your Wildcard, there is a natural tendency to fully transform your team.

You may not agree, but I am not entirely convinced that my team requires an important overhaul this week. Of course I need a Cunha replacement, but I can achieve that with a free transfer.
