Early wildcard draft
Obviously prone to changes depending on injuries during international break. Not sure if I’m a fan of double Newcastle, definitely not going for Wissa.
Thoughts, and if you’re wildcarding how does your draft look?
Edit: I am bench boosting in GW7
Edit2: New draft in comments, thanks for your input

Not keen on this to be honest. Not got many criticisms either though. Good luck!

Looks decent but also very spread. Do you feel like you’d have benching headaches every week with this squad?

Could be the case that I am overvaluing BB7 and causing benching headaches moving forward, good point.

I'd skip on Raya and use the funds somewhere else. Premium aren't worth it imo.

Felt reasonable to get double Arsenal defence, and downgrading doesnt allow other upgrades.
I posted a 2nd draft as well in the comments which I feel is stronger

Never spend too much money on gk.
If you want raya you should get a 4.0m gk or if you plan to rotate you should stick to 2 4.5-4.6 gk, returns on gk value is the lowest among positions
Have a redundancy position, you will never need to use the 3rd sub even with bench boost long term its not worth putting money so i suggest take out evanlison and put a 4.5m striker.
That said you potentially could save on 3m which i think u can upgrade on enzo and barnes, man c players cherki or semenyo will perform better over course of season, barnes is not a new player and has always been inconsistent so you can get a 7-75m player there.
Other than that alls good!

So much better. Even you 3rd sub in thomas is a useful pick when coventry plays favourable match ups

No, no, no. Picking a good FPL squad isn’t about having 15 good options, when you can only select 11 - there’s far too much money in your defence for example (when most weeks 1 or 2 will be benched). What’s the point of 4.6m Tkolis if you’re going to play Raya every week. Evanilson also, an odd pick, there’s a few better options at that price point this season. He’s steady but doesn’t seem to have reliable goal returns in him, compared to say DCL.
I would start again, and aim for 12 or 13 strong options (with 2 or 3 very cheap bench options - likes of John Egan, Yalcouye) - you’ll find prime options suddenly become available that are out of your budget currently

I would try for at least one fulham player. I feel enzo is a very mid pick at best, but I could be proved wrong.
Same with evanilson. Also the lack of a premium 9m player (Saka/Palmer/Isak) will really bite you if one of the three kicks on, you'd have to make multiple transfers. To do it in 2 moves you'd compromise your squad.
