FPL GW8 Best Wildcard Team: Is going big at the back viable?

Raphinha (Leeds United) – £6.5m

It would be hard to ignore one of the most underpriced FPL assets in the game and Leeds’ key man in attack.

Leeds have some great fixtures up until GW15, which is when you should start to look at selling Raphinha. But from now until then, I expect Raphinha to continue to tick along and accumulate points — especially over the easier fixtures where Leeds have the potential to explode.

It is worth noting that Raphinha has been playing with an injury in recent weeks, but has come away with 2 goals from his last 2 games. It is scary to think what Raphinha can deliver when fully fit, which he now appears to be.

If the attacker happens to miss GW8 due to a late trip back from international duty, we have a strong bench that will be perfectly suited to cover Raphinha in his absence — as we will be able to see later on.
