In midfield, the options are much more abundant. You could go for Ismaïla Sarr (7.3m) from Crystal Palace, who has already scored 45 points.
Wild Card Gameweek: Top Picks for Your Team! – GW 12
As Gameweek 12 of the Premier League approaches, and after 11 thrilling rounds, the full Fantasy picture is starting to take shape. Some players have proven their worth, boosting their teams’ points, while others have underperformed, disappointing Fantasy managers.
Throughout this journey, Fantasy 24 Club continues to provide the latest analysis and tips to help you make smarter decisions, maintain your position at the top of the rankings, and maximize your Fantasy points.
If you’re considering using your Wild Card this Gameweek, now is the perfect time to select high-potential players to strengthen your squad. In this article, we highlight the best players for each position who can add significant value to your team and give you an edge over your competitors.
1- Goalkeepers
In goal, everyone usually looks for the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets. However, unlike the majority, we won’t recommend David Raya, Arsenal’s first-choice keeper, despite him leading in clean sheets. His upcoming fixtures are tough, facing Tottenham, Chelsea, and Brentford over the next three Premier League Gameweeks.
Instead, we suggest Petrovic (4.5m), who has kept 4 clean sheets and enjoys three favorable fixtures against West Ham, Sunderland, and Everton. Another solid option is Alisson Becker (5.4m), Liverpool’s key goalkeeper returning from injury, with three relatively easier matches ahead against Nottingham Forest, West Ham, and Sunderland.
2- Defenders
Avoid buying Arsenal defenders or starting them in your Fantasy XI over the next five Gameweeks for the reasons mentioned earlier.
Instead, we recommend Moncho (5.7m), Crystal Palace’s ever-present full-back, who has kept 4 clean sheets, contributed 4 assists, and has three ideal fixtures against Wolverhampton, Manchester United, and Burnley.
Alternatively, consider Virgil van Dijk from Liverpool. Not only is he a threat from set-pieces, but he also faces three manageable matches where Liverpool could keep clean sheets against Nottingham Forest, West Ham, and Sunderland. His return to your Fantasy squad is too important to overlook.
3- Midfielders
Another excellent pick is Semedo (7.8m), the second-highest points scorer in Fantasy and a strong contender in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot alongside Haaland.
You might also consider Mboumo (8.5m), as Manchester United face relatively easier opponents in Everton and West Ham.
And don’t forget Mohamed Salah, the inspirational captain for Liverpool and a must-have starter in your squad.
4- Forwards
In the forward line, the options are abundant. Erling Haaland (14.8m) is essential regardless of the opposition—omitting him from your squad, after scoring 100 points and 14 goals, is unthinkable.
You should also consider Mateta (7.8m), a top contender for the Premier League Golden Boot.
Another strong addition is João Pedro (7.7m), who will face Burnley, Leeds, and Arsenal over the next three Gameweeks.
Finally, don’t forget Igor Thiago, who has scored 8 goals in 11 matches so far.
With Gameweek 12 approaching and the Wild Card at your disposal, you have a golden opportunity to revamp your squad and boost your Fantasy Premier League points. Selecting the right players in every position, from goalkeeper to forwards, can give you an edge over your rivals and bring you closer to the top of the rankings. Remember, smart planning and careful analysis are key to success—don’t miss this Gameweek to strengthen your squad and make the most of every match.
