With the second Fantasy Premier League Wildcard available, The Scout reviews the top targets to consider for the chip.
Adrian (WHU) £4.3m
It is his modest price point that helps to make Adrian a leading contender, as does a favourable short-term schedule for West Ham United.
Six of West Ham’s next seven opponents all score two in the Fixture Difficulty Rankings (FDR).
West Ham's next fixtures
GW | Opp | FDR |
---|---|---|
23 | HUD (A) | 2 |
24 | BOU (H) | 2 |
25 | CRY (H) | 2 |
26 | BHA (A) | 2 |
27 | WAT (H) | 2 |
28 | LIV (A) | 4 |
29 | SWA (A) | 2 |
FPL managers can also recruit Adrian as a back-up to Nick Pope (£4.8m) and swap the pair in and out according to fixture difficulty.
At a combined price of £9.1m, that pairing could offer better value than De Gea and the cheapest reserve goalkeeper.
