Patrick Bamford and Dominic Calvert-Lewin continue to be fitness doubts and a kinder price tag than Jimenez makes Ivan Toney my fifth and final Wildcard suggestion.

In a season where we’re faced with more high-performing premium FPL options than ever before, this budget-friendly forward is the talisman for his team.

He is on penalties, has a kind fixture run, and is putting up strong creative numbers (3.12 xA) in addition to goal threat (1.88 xG), giving him multiple avenues to points.

Toney is a great budget enabler to incorporate the other strong FPL options into a wildcard team and is worthy of deliberation for that third forward spot.
