FPL Wildcard Team Gameweek 6 - Players to Target and Best Drafts

I’m fired up about Wildcarding in Gameweek 6, and after digging through the fixtures, recent returns, and form, I reckon now is one of the best reset points in the early season. Below, I tell you who I’m targeting by name, plus how I’d build three types of wildcard drafts. If you’re pulling the FPL Wildcard Team lever this week, these names are ones I believe can carry you forward.

Players to Target in FPL Wildcard Team Gameweek 6

Goalkeepers:

• David Raya – a reliable pick, decent fixtures, good clean sheet potential.
• Gianluigi Donnarumma – new at City, but with fixtures easing and City defence usually solid, he’s one I’m considering seriously. 
• Nick Pope – if you want a premium keeper who is delivering clean sheets so far. A must-consider.

Defenders:

• Virgil van Dijk – you want solidity, bonus, occasional attacking returns. A leadership pick.
• Senesi (Bournemouth) – cheaper option, fixtures look manageable, and he’s getting returns.
• Gabriel (Arsenal) – if fit, high reward potential. Arsenal are creating a lot.
• Gvardiol – especially if you want an attacking full-back from a strong defensive team.

Midfielders:

• Phil Foden — form + assists + goal threat. Great pick.
• Bukayo Saka — if he’s fully fit, he’s near the must-have circle.
• Bruno Fernandes — reliable for both goals and assists; good to anchor your mid-price midfield.
• Antoine Semenyo — a good differential, cheaper, and already getting attacking returns.
• Jeremy Doku — if you can stretch, he’s just about breaking out and could reward.

Forwards:

• Erling Haaland — for me, the non-negotiable forward in almost any Wildcard Team. If you can captain him, do it.
• João Pedro — a mid-price forward who is showing promise and good fixtures coming up.
• Viktor Gyökeres — someone who could be a nice differential if you can fit him.

Must-Owns vs Differentials

In your FPL Wildcard Team, I’d strongly push for:

• Must-Owns: Haaland, at least one of Foden or Saka, a premium keeper or very stable defence (e.g. Gabriel or van Dijk).
• Differentials: Semenyo, Doku, maybe one cheaper defender like Senesi or someone in 4.0-5.5m range who is starting and getting attacking returns.

Best Wildcard Draft Templates for GW6

Here are three sample builds/drafts I’m mulling, you can mix & match based on your budget and how aggressive or safe you want to play.

Captaincy Thoughts

If I Wildcard now, I’m firmly on Haaland for captaincy. He’s nailed, he’s scoring, and the fixtures are good. If Pep roulette somehow catches him, my backup would be Foden or Bruno Fernandes, depending on the opponent.

Final Word

My ideal FPL Wildcard Team Gameweek 6 anchors around Haaland, Foden or Saka, with one premium defender and a safe keeper. From there, I’d add differentials like Semenyo and Doku, balance the defence with someone like Senesi, and keep budget players as nailed starters. This balance gives both stability and explosive upside. To find out what kind of points you could score from your team draft, take a look at Sportsdunia's free points predictor tool. If you nail the core, your Wildcard won’t just fix early mistakes; it will set you up to climb the ranks from Gameweek 6 onwards.
