\"TomTHE SEASON SO FAR\"FPL<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a tough start to the season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still early days, of course, but everyone wants to do well, and picking up only 24 points in Gameweek 3 was far from ideal.<\/p>\n

Injuries have been a recurring theme so far.<\/p>\n

Cole Palmer<\/strong> (\u00a310.4m), Bukayo Saka<\/strong> (\u00a39.8m), Matheus Cunha<\/strong> (\u00a38.0m), Georginio Rutter<\/strong> (\u00a35.9m) and Jorgen Strand Larsen<\/strong> (\u00a35.9m) have all picked up injuries of some description, some more serious than others, so I\u2019ve naturally considered a Wildcard.<\/p>\n

Based on the feedback from my recent team reveal video<\/a>, it appears most would have already pushed the button!<\/p>\n

However, I actually think it\u2019s a tricky time to Wildcard based on the fixtures, plus the fact I\u2019m still trying to work so many teams out.<\/p>\n

My club, Aston Villa, is a prime example. We\u2019ve been terrible so far, so if I Wildcard, I\u2019d naturally take out Ezri Konsa<\/strong> (\u00a34.5m), Youri Tielemans<\/strong> (\u00a35.9m) and Ollie Watkins<\/strong> (\u00a38.9m).<\/p>\n

But past experience tells me they\u2019ll turn it around, particularly with Everton, Sunderland, Fulham and Burnley up next.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The danger is that I sit on them too long and fall further behind, but if I truly believe Harvey Elliott<\/strong> (\u00a35.4m) is the missing ingredient, why take them out now, just before their good run of fixtures?<\/p>\n

When you Wildcard, there is a natural inclination to completely transform your squad.<\/p>\n

You might not agree, but I\u2019m not totally convinced my team requires a significant overhaul this week. I need a Cunha replacement, of course, but I can achieve that with a free transfer.<\/p>\n
