The Wildcard will allow FPL managers to secure Erling Haaland, balance premium options with budget gems, and get their teams fixture-proof.
FPL GW6 Top Goalkeeper Picks
Raya (5.5m)—Arsenal currently has a strong defense that ranks second for xGC and first for goals conceded, which means that Raya is a steady source of points.
Petrovic (4.5m)—Petrovic is a top budget option, especially with Bournemouth having a favorable run of fixtures until GW18.
Donnarumma (5.5m) – Donnarumma is a reliable “set and forget” choice with his excellent shot-stopping skills primarily against big sides.
Vicario (5.1m) – Vicario is a mid-price option with a strong run of long-term fixtures for Spurs.

Gabriel (6.1 m)—Gabriel is a set-piece threat with Arsenal’s corner routines.
Tarkowski (5.5m) – Tarkowski has been a consistent star for Everton so far this season, bringing in steady points and a top pick.
Senesi (4.7m) – Senesi is currently the top-scoring budget defender and provides excellent value. He is also nailed in Bournemouth’s back line.
Van de Ven (4.7m) / Romero (5.1m)— Both the Spurs stars offer excellent clean sheet potential with an added attacking threat as Romero dominates on the aerial ball. In contrast, Van de Ven dominates in terms of recovery pace.
Andersen (4.5m)—Andersen is a cheap rotation option that delivers steady defensive points at a low price.
Chalobah (5.1m)—Chelsea has a favorable run of fixtures after GW8, and Chalobah could be a strong option with his added strong aerial ability.
Rodon/Gudmundsson (4.0m) – Leeds defenders Rodon and Gudmundsson offer an excellent budget bench option and come with the added benefit of being nailed-on starters.

FPL GW6 Top Midfielder Picks
Semenyo (7.6m) – Semenyo has so far had an explosive start this season with 3 goals and 2 assists and currently leads midfielders for shots, big chances, and xG.
Bruno Fernandes (9.0m) – Bruno is a top midfield choice with the added benefit of being a penalty-taker.
Mbeumo (8.1m)—Mbeumo has an impressive xGI of 3.2 (second-highest among mids) and is a safer attacking option than Bruno.
Reijnders (5.6m) – Reijnders is a cheap option to secure a part of City’s attack and offers a creative and central role with flexibility at a great price.
Kudus (6.6m) – Kudus is a nailed Spurs starter with pace and creativity who provides consistent crossing and key passes.
Xavi Simons (7.1m) – Despite being a rotation risk, Xavi’s creativity and technical quality make him an appealing choice ahead of Wolves and Leeds.
Caicedo (5.6m) – Caicedo is a balanced pick at a budget price who offers excellent tackles, interceptions, and late runs into the box.
Ndiaye (6.5m) and Grealish (6.8m)—Everton duo Ndiaye and Grealish are guaranteed starters, with both players offering different attacking skill sets.
FPL GW6 Top Forward Picks
Haaland (14.2m) – Haaland is the undisputed top pick for a wildcard rebuild and one of the main reasons behind managers activating their wildcards. He already has six goals in five games, with the best xG in the league. He is also a top captaincy pick for the upcoming gameweeks.
Gyokeres (9.0m) – Gyokeres is set for a breakout run starting from GW7 and is also a viable captaincy option in the upcoming fixtures.
Joao Pedro (7.8m) – Joao Pedro is Chelsea’s main forward threat, with 2 goals and 3 assists this season, who consistently involves himself in their attacking play.
Evanilson (7.0m) – Evanilson is Bournemouth’s main striker, who has a high shot volume and offers great value.
Strand Larsen (6.4m)—Strand Larsen is a budget third striker option for managers who are going heavy in midfield and defense.
The most obvious pick for the triple captain is Erling Haaland this gameweek with two triple captain chips available this season.
