FPL Wildcard Targets: Goalkeepers

With the second Fantasy Premier League Wildcard available, The Scout reviews the top targets to consider for the chip.

Adrian (WHU) £4.3m

It is his modest price point that helps to make Adrian a leading contender, as does a favourable short-term schedule for West Ham United.

Six of West Ham’s next seven opponents all score two in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings (FDR).

West Ham's next fixtures
GW Opp FDR
23 HUD (A) 2
24 BOU (H) 2
25 CRY (H) 2
26 BHA (A) 2
27 WAT (H) 2
28 LIV (A) 4
29 SWA (A) 2

FPL managers can also recruit Adrian as a back-up to Nick Pope (£4.8m) and swap the pair in and out according to fixture difficulty.

At a combined price of £9.1m, that pairing could offer better value than De Gea and the cheapest reserve goalkeeper.
