One of The Scout's panel of Fantasy Premier League experts, Sam Bonfield, is using her Wildcard chip in Gameweek 6. Here she reveals her 15-man line-up and the reasons for her choices.
Goalkeepers
David Raya (£5.5m): The goalkeeper slot is still up for grabs in my squad. Arsenal's Raya is one of the most expensive assets in goal that I am considering. Last season, Arsenal kept 13 clean sheets; only Liverpool had more, with 14. The Gunners also conceded the fewest goals in the league, with 34.
Raya is currently the fourth highest-scoring goalkeeper in the game, with 26 points, and last season he finished third. Keeping Raya would mean the double-up in the Arsenal defence.
I might yet decide to cover the Newcastle defence by having the top-scoring goalkeeper in the game with 32 points, Nick Pope (£5.0m), or to double up on Spurs with Guglielmo Vicario (£5.1m).
Another option if I need to free up funds is to go with Bournemouth's Djordje Petrovic (£4.5m). The Cherries have good long-term fixtures, so he could be a good budget option.
Martin Dubravka (£4.0m): The perfect back-up goalkeeper. Dubravka has made 19 saves so far this season, picking up five save points. Over the course of the season, he has registered 17 points - the same as premium goalkeeper Alisson (£5.5m) at Liverpool.
While this won't be the same at the end of the season, opting for a set-and-forget goalkeeper means that Dubravka is the best deputy for security of starts, as well as price point.
Defenders
Jurrien Timber (£5.8m): At £0.3m cheaper than Gabriel (£6.1m), the Dutchman offers good value for money, and to date has registered more points than his more expensive team-mate.
Timber has scored twice, registered an assist, kept two clean sheets and picked up five bonus points.
Despite registering 30 defensive contributions, he is yet to produce defensive contributions points, although the numbers suggest these could materialise in the more difficult fixtures.
Marcos Senesi (£4.7m): I should have bought Senesi in at the start of the season, but I was concerned about how Bournemouth would fare with four of their first-choice defensive unit from last season no longer at the club. Those fears were unfounded.
Senesi has returned defensive contribution points in every match so far and has registered three clean sheets. He is the second highest-scoring defender in the game, and despite now costing £4.7m, he still looks great value.
Marc Guehi (£4.7m): Up until using my Wildcard chip, I have owned Daniel Munoz (£5.6m), but budgets needed tweaking and Guehi offers a good opportunity to save money and stay invested in a rock solid Crystal Palace defence.
Guehi also has two attacking returns this season, so he doesn't feel like a compromise.
Micky van de Ven (£4.7m): One of only four players to survive my Wildcard, the Spurs centre-back has been outstanding this season, and with more good fixtures to come, he is a must-have. Van de Ven has kept three clean sheets so far, as well as having scored a goal and registered two bonus points.
Gabriel Gudmundsson (£4.0m): I am looking to use my Bench Boost chip in either Gameweek 8 or 9, so a Leeds defender looks the best option, as they play Burnley and West Ham in those weeks.
Gudmundsson has two clean sheets, two defensive contribution points and six bonus points from the opening five Gameweeks of the season, and for £4.0m, he is a great enabler who will be important when the chip is activated.
Midfielders
Mohamed Salah (£14.5m): While many Wildcarding managers are selling the Egyptian, I am not yet ready to do that.
With Cole Palmer (£10.4m) struggling with injury and Bukayo Saka (£9.8m) being eased back, I will be keeping Salah for another week or two.
When Alexander Isak (£10.5m) gets regular starts for Liverpool, I will likely move Salah to either Saka or Eberechi Eze (£7.5m) and then upgrade Marc Guiu (£4.3m) to Isak with the remaining money.
Antoine Semenyo (£7.7m): Ahead of Gameweek 3, I had the straight choice of investing in either Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.5m) or Semenyo and I made the wrong decision. On Wildcard, I am rectifying that decision.
Mohammed Kudus (£6.6m): Another player who I have owned for the whole season, Kudus is joint-first for assists so far this season, with four.
I am undecided between keeping Kudus or moving to Xavi Simons (£7.1m), who has the added routes to points, with free-kicks as well as corner duties.
I have £0.1m invested in Kudus, so this is a decision I will make close to the deadline, and will also likely depend on my budget across the rest of the squad.
Tijjani Reijnders (£5.6m): One of my big regrets of the season. I had Reijnders until an hour before the Gameweek 1 deadline. The Dutch international is a great budget enabler, and the fact that he plays in an attacking role for Man City and has started every game just make him the perfect option.
Anton Stach (£5.0m): The Bench Boost in Gameweek 8 or 9 strategy meant that Stach was one of the first names I added to my squad when I activated the Wildcard chip. Stach is Leeds' top-scoring player this season and is currently averaging 5.8 points per match.
Forwards
Erling Haaland (£14.3m): Starting the season without Haaland was a mistake and it has been hurting every Gameweek since. Wildcarding now is mostly to have the Norwegian in my team ahead of a great run of fixtures for Man City that runs right through until Gameweek 24.
Haaland is a slight injury doubt ahead of the plum fixture at home to Burnley this weekend, but I will be including him regardless.
Joao Pedro (£7.8m): The Chelsea forward has had a great start to the season, producing five attacking returns, which is only bettered by Haaland. Joao Pedro and Chelsea's fixtures remain favourable and in the absence of Palmer, the Brazilian is likely to play in his preferred No 10 position.
Marc Guiu (£4.3m): Ideally I wanted to have Sunderland's Wilson Isidor (£5.5m) in this slot as a placeholder for Isak. However, budgets are a little tight, so unless I decide to go for a cheaper goalkeeper then affording Ididor will be difficult.
With the Bench Boost chip to consider, Guiu is a risk - I will be monitoring the Blues' EFL Cup tie against Lincoln City to see if he gets minutes. If he does then I may keep the Chelsea forward, but if not, I will redistribute some budget so I won't have to do the Salah to Isak move too quickly.
