Complete FPL Wildcard Gameweek 31 Guide | Fantasy Premier League 2020/21
FPL Gameweek 31 feels like the last big week where FPL managers will activate their Wildcard.
In this video I take a look at some possible team selections including some things to think about when building your team and the best fixtures to concentrate on.
There are shortlists of players in each position that I'd be considering if on a Wildcard including my must own picks and final Wildcard draft and some tinkering towards the end.

Andy ✌👊🖒
"Rudiger's bust-up is water under the bridge"... I see what you did there 😏
No DCL on the shortlist?
david luiz is out and arsenal have great fixtures. if there is a chance to invest in their defence it's now. Btw, david luiz being out is just better for arsenal's defence
Have you thought about Ederson or Dias ?
Salah ruins your team. Way too much money. I’m also transferring out Lloris and Reguilon on my wildcard this week. Spurs defense CANNOT be trusted, and that’s coming from a Spurs fan.
No Dias on the shortlist?
Am Considering Trent, Dias & Cancelo
Is Ederson a good Choice
Can I change my whole team if I already have confirmed my wildcard? Anyone know?
Thanks guys
Unlimited transfers until the deadline
yes you can till the deadline
Macarthy????
G.O.A.T
Iheanacho typo on the forward shortlist...
Why are you so against Lingard? As a Chelsea fan i've never liked him , but from FPL perspective he is a must have. Since joining West Ham hes been as good as anybody and the value is amazing. Saka is injury prone plus the EL is a priority.
Chris Wood instead of Antonio, great form and fixture
Where is Mount?
What are your thoughts on mount and dias?
Hey Andy, loving the content as always. Just a quick question, you said DCL had bad fixtures? I swear Everton have the easiest run coming up. He's not on form though, I'll give you that! cheers
I think Brighton, Spurs and Arsenal are more difficult than they look. Not necessarily teams I'd target. But he does have a double to come and some other okay fixutres after those.
If i cannot afford Alexander-Arnold do i go Robertson or elsewhere?
Great Video! Thanks. Plus Jesse Lingard says BOOM! 🤣
I would add a liverpool defender. Fixtures jst too good and defense looks improved.
Why has everyone suddenly gone off DIAS all the sudden
Dias is nailed and City remaining fixtures are too favourable for cleansheets. He could be your differential yunno. You don't really have to follow the bandwagon.
@Let's Talk FPL would you consider him an option if price isn’t an issue or is it just that other players are better
I probably should have mentioned him to be fair. I just think with GW33 there's potentially other defenders that could be looked at.
lingard banged again 😂😂 he is watching your content and proving you wrong hahahaha
@Tomislav Bodrozic I'm not offended :) Just saying, I think he's probably quite good for his price but I won't be fitting him into my team....just yet!
@Let's Talk FPL Sorry Andy. Did not want to offend you. I watched your entire video and I am fully aware that you consider Lingard. I just have a different opinion on him, but you have a point.
@Let's Talk FPL j lingz has helped me get 2 plus rank boosts already even if he doesn't deliver can't let him go after back to back double digit hauls😎
@Let's Talk FPL just a little banter ofcourse can't get everything right love your content mate makes fpl lot more interesting. Goodluck.
@Tomislav Bodrozic I put Lingard in while tinkering? I also said he's good for the price but I don't expect the returns to continue like this. I still don't...
what was quite wrong with the draft is 3 players from West Ham.. Antonio and Lingard both in my team is not the move i would like to even think of..
Hi. What is the difference between names in green and white on your shortlists pla
@Let's Talk FPL Thanks Andy. Love your content 👍
I meant to say that in the video - nothing! Just wanted to make it (hopefully) easier to read
Really helpful vid, especially despite how unhelpful and slow the Prem have been in announcing and arranging the fixtures. They’re absolutely useless.
The man the legend it's Andy!
Bruno not in the Must Haves !!??!?! JOKE..
@Let's Talk FPL - Wouldn't it be worthwhile essentially burning one if the defenders in a Wildcard with a super cheap defender... e.g. 3.8m on Mitchell? Just to give extra funds.... that way there's still 2 subs (one defender & one midfielder) on the bench.
Well Antonio staying fit lasted long...
Lingard saying Hi Andy.
Laca?
Chris Wood / Lacazette both overlooked in the forwards section. Not worth a punt?
What about Ings? He could be a good difference
Anyone for Chelsea defenders 😄
Andy you skipped out your thoughts on TAA, Phillips and Kabak. I want to get 1 of them. Who in your opinion is the best option?
Trent, always Trent 😀
I think Dias could’ve been on the shortlist. Brighton or Burnley also rotate well with West Ham so I think Veltman and Lowton are options given that they’re only 4.4m each.
What about free hit discussion for GW 31? Most teams are not really set for this GW so a free hit could pay off?
I would rather have a good wildcard team and keep the freehit for any unpredictable blank or else.
Andy howcome no City defender?
What do you think of Salah vs Vardy? Currently I am tempted to take the punt that Jota/TAA/Philips as the liv combo with Vardy will score more. What do you think of that option?
Antonio messed up all the plans
Antonio is injured. now what do we do on wildcard Vardy Kane Iheanacho plus and Bruno and no Trent maybe? please answer Andy. thank you.
Schmeichel, Forster, Rudiger, Coady, Shaw, Alexander Trent, Stones, Mitchell, Gundo, Neto, Salah, Jota, Bruno, Vardy, Ihenacho, Kane....job done.
Sorry. No Stones.
Why no city keeper discussion?
@Let's Talk FPL but finally a defensive option that won't be rotated 🥲
Bit too expensive for me.
Will Iheanacho start every game?
That's something we can't really know to be completely honest. But without Barnes and his current form there's a good chance.
should i transfer Martinez?
Chris Wood doing bits. No affinity towards him?
My team was struggling at last 5 Gameweeks 😭
Banging content mate 🤟
I like your shortlist, but I am missing Lacazette though. Seems to be a good differential and the fixtures are great. Also, I don't know why you dislike Lingard so much. He fits so well into WHU and bashed Wolves as well tonight.
No cavani or lacazette in your shortlist?
every video u say u don’t trust lingard but he’s scored points almost every week i’ve had him😂😂 two 12 points games in a row
Andy arsenal awful
Great stuff Andy! Looking at my team, Son to Dendonker allows Regulon to Trent (I'm a bit lower budget compared to you), and I'd back Trent to go bonkers these last few games! And Son to have his usual end of season fall-off...
It makes sense though to keep Son until the Double GW and after that drop him for someone else.
What about Lacazette for Antonio. Mendy,steer. Rudiger,regulon,holding,Philips. Fernández,Jota Salah,Smith rowe,son Inacho,kane,Lacazette
And he still doesn't rate Lingard at West ham ? will he change his mind I wonder lol
Very very new to this, could any one help as I would like to do a draft but when I do it joins someone's lobby please help?
Heads up boys Lingz returned again
Andy, not doubt my best friend since lockdown.
Why no consideration for ederson?
Hi Andy, thanks for all the content! What do you think about Neto after today’s game?
Something I haven’t heard anyone talking about, the only times zouma starts over rudiger are when Chelsea play teams with a striker who is known for his heading ability eg. Dcl and Diagne so far, as zouma can deal with crosses and corners far better
I’ll go for Mahrez for Bruno... who can I take for 6m instead of Dawson? I’ve got Rüdiger and Mandy and rest is the same
Rudiger a major doubt after his fall-out at training and Thomas Tuchel sent him home immediately, expecting him to miss out on a couple of games
Should be fine. Reckon he'll play CL
No City players at all?
Question: why no Dias? He is nailed and has great clean sheet potential
City is almost through. Practically champions in 2-3 games. That is why you also see Gündogan rested a lot. I wouldn't bet my horse on them anymore. Too many rotations. You saw what happened to Liverpool last seaon. Basically worst team in the final third.
Trent and Iheanacho or Philips and Vardy
Trent and Ihenacho
Lacazette?? He looks pretty good right now
Tierney + Rudiger or Holding + Azpi Andy?
If Tierney's injury is as bad as it seems with him having a scan in the next 48 hours does that make Cedric a viable option for £4.6mill?
Outfield is a position in baseball so yes, very American
Lacazette also has great fixture i guess
True. Just always a bit wary over game time, plus his price isn't great.
Is Nat Phillips one that would be decent or should he be avoided
definitely decent if you don’t mind getting the possibility of clean sheets. He’ll never get any attacking returns. So if Liverpool end up conceding, that’s a 2 pointer or 1 all day long. Unlike trent, takes set pieces and very attacking. If you have the money, Trent for sure
well liverpool have good quality of games coming up and a chance at a clean sheet , we have picked up form however could easily concede, villa i do think they will score ( putting 7 past last time with luck! ) but for future he is quite cheap and good to have
What do you think of lacazette for a short term punt
I think he isnt a short term punt, he will outscore antonio, bamford, iheanacho etc but i am not sure to transfer him becasue ı want to play 352 because of neto and jota's performance but if i choose him ı must play 343. big questions??
Hey Andy, I am being honest with you. I watch all your videos however, I kind of forward the videos as I need the info but this one, I looked finish to start and sometimes rewinded !! Awesome content brother!! Good Analytics!!
thoughts on fofana? No goal threat but for 5mil i think he’s decent?
Söyüncü is stuck in Turkey because of covid, Fofana will be nailed on. I brought him in for my wildcard
Playing WC this week. And going for the following: GK: Ederson/Sanchez (I know a lot of money here, but Ederson will play all games and City have best defence in the league, In GW33 blank and Man City vs Chelsea, BHA have easy games). Def: Coady, Fofana, Rudiger, Philips Veltman - Can change Veltman to Holding MF: Neto, Jota, Salah, KDB, Son FW: Antonio, Kane and iheanacho Might change KDB+Philips to TAA+Mahrez depending on Pep's lineup, but feel KDB, if he starts vs Leeds will haul big. Any thoughts Andy?
wont u put Dias - a man city def in the wild card team?
@Let's Talk FPL can plan to bench son, kane and dias in gw 33?
I probably wouldn't as you still have to think about GW33, but if you are going for a City defender he's definitely the one.
Johnstone / Forster Saiss / Rudiger / Dawson / Dallas / Phillips Mahrez / Salah / Jota / Son / Salah Antonio / Kane / Iheanaco
Andy what do you think of Lacazette as an option? Good run of 4/5 games :)
Good shout
Yes
Arsenal are dog
What do you think of Johnstone & Forster for keepers on a WC ? I don’t think much difference in keeper points and worth saving 0.5+ ?
That was awesome video 👍👍
Why doesn't Andy go on the FPL show?
Soon 😀
Probably because he lives in Ireland
Lacca!?!?
Used my wildcard this week just gone, Went for GK: Pope, Lloris (one has a good fixture each week until the end of season) DEF: Shaw, Keane, Rudiger, Coady, Soyuncu MF: Jota, Mount, Gundogan, Fernandes, Neto FWD: Calvert-lewin, kane, bamford. Planning on making changes each week as such: 31: Mount - Saka (if he is fit) 32: CL - Vardy 33: None 34: Rudiger - Cresswell. 35: neto - lingaard 36: vardy - CL coady - dallas 37: saka - raphinha 38: spare (maybe kane out?) Tried to get always a good 11 for the teams they are playing against. Looking at this it seems like Salah is in ur must have but I just think he isnt worth the value even though he has scored alot of goals, I just think jota will be the goalscorer in taht team now that he is back.
I wouldn't have Lloris if I were you I would downgrade him to a cheaper goalie, and your defence has to many CB's who have a 6 point cap. Try to look for cheaper full backs and re-invest the money into the midfield. Gundogan > Son or Gundogan > Salah would be my recommendation, but that is up to you.
What about leicester midfielders? they have some good fixtures in the next 4
Δεν νομιζω οτι αξιζει Δημητρη,καλυτερα παρε αμυντικους απο την Λεστερ
Great stuff again Andy. Question: why always Reguilon? He just had 6 clean sheets and isn't a sure starter.
Because he is a sure starter- Davies is injured 🤕 reguilon should be nailed
Yeah, not too keen on him. I'd rather go for Azpi or TAA if you can afford him.
City not getting much love in the draft?
@Deli G Disagree. A defender could be a decent option (despite rotation if you have a good bench)
For obvious reasons lol
Which city player will start vs Leeds? Mahrez, gundo? Idk anymore pep just ruins my FPL😭
After the Leeds game I might do KDB to Salah
I not sure if i should go kdb to Salah until gw 35 and then go bk to kdb till season ends or I could just stick with 2 man city defenders should see some clean sheets from city after the blank gw
I was also thinking of doing kdb to Salah for gw 33 seeing that I have Jota and TAA man city blanks in gw 33 but in gw 34 liverpool got man utd and thereafter some good fixtures for liverpool so I won't be able to bring back kdb I will be stuck with just stones
welbeck?
No city players even though theu are having leeds next week?
You are literally the most helpful person in the world. Thank you so much for your videos and content.
@Ryan Dhillon how is that dramatic?
@Kapil Shrestha yh its his job. But the quality of his content is ridiculously high. If he just did it for the money he wouldn't put so much time and effort into it which he clearly does. Plus he speaks sincerely indicating he cares about helping us.
Lol he makes money from the content, that's why he is putting the content lol.
No he’s just appreciative
Bit dramatic
And how come no City defence coverage?
Just sold Salah and Raphinha to bring in Bruno and Jota, hoping Jota can cover Salah for me
outfield is in baseball
Right now i dont have Son in my WC but have Lacacette. Taking in son would mean going TAA->Philips and Lacca to Antonio. Really belive in TAA.
Laca has some great fixtures, keep that in mind
no man city players .... interesting
No Trent?
Phillips at Pool, nailed?
he’s pretty much nailed. I don’t see anyone else coming in for him since all are injured and they’re definitely not gonna put Fabinho back in CB considering how he’s been playing in midfield lately
