Weekly Wildcards: Gameweek Three

Every week The Hype Train analyses the best wildcard options for your Fantasy Premier League teams. Historically weekly dream team’s comprise of mostly wildcard players whose selection falls under 5% of overall players, to which there is no doubt that their influence cannot be ignored. With such an abundance of points coming from the FPL’s hidden gems The Hype Train selects one player from each match in the upcoming gameweek to decide who could be the differential for your teams.

LAST WEEKS PERFORMANCE (GW 2)

In what could be described a repeat of the opening gameweek it was chaotic and erratic all over the Premier League. Out of the ten wildcards we chose for gameweek two half of them performed as expected, whilst the others floundered with a handful of points between them. Wildcards are risks, but when played correctly they can wield big points hauls. Jay Rodriguez not starting, and Miguel Layun not reaching sixty minutes would have offered higher points returns, but The Hype Train is happy to have selected five correct wildcards two weeks running whilst nearly matching the average points for players. This is the second week in a row where wildcards have proved to be an essential differential.

Total Wildcard Points (GW2): 43 points

Gameweek 1 Average Points: 44 points

Jordan Amavi: 2pts

Jay Rodriguez: 1pt

Mame Biram Diouf: 6pts
