With fixture swings, injury concerns and doubts over minutes to navigate, Gameweek 6 offers an opportunity to rethink your Fantasy Premier League team.
Corey Baker and Walter Randazzo have both activated their Wildcards despite sitting inside the top 25k. Their plans show why the chip can be just as useful for building on a strong start as rescuing a struggling squad.
👑 Corey Baker: targeting fixtures and freeing up funds
Ranked 18,360 overall, with five top-10k finishes, Corey had always planned an early Wildcard after investing in his bench for an early Bench Boost. Now, he wants to redistribute that money and prepare for the next six Gameweeks.
👉 Explore Corey Baker’s Gameweek 6 Wildcard plans.
🔥 Walter Randazzo: reshaping his squad despite a strong start
Sitting 23,360 overall, with seven top-10k finishes, Walter is addressing defensive injuries, concerns over Manchester United’s performances and potential minutes issues for Cherki.
His biggest dilemma? Triple Arsenal defence or two defensive picks alongside Bukayo Saka. Bournemouth’s improving fixtures after Gameweek 6 also bring Tavernier and Silva into contention.

The Algorithm has crunched the numbers to build its optimal Gameweek 5 squad.
📊 Projected points: 62
🌟 Top differential: N. Jackson (1.6%) - 4.9 projected points
Fernandes takes the armband against a struggling Spurs side who sit bottom of the table & are still winless. 🧢
An Arsenal defensive double-up targets Leeds. 🛡️
The Gunners have kept 3 clean sheets in 5 games, conceding just 4 goals. Calafiori has 2 assists, while Gabriel carries plenty of goal threat with 5 shots, 2 big chances & 1.04 xG. 📊
Gibbs-White makes the cut with 4 attacking returns in 5 games. Next up? A Palace defence that has already conceded 11 goals. 🎯
Jackson is the standout differential. 📉
Despite limited minutes, he has scored once & recorded 1.29 expected goal involvements in just 289 minutes — enough for the algorithm to take a punt on him for Gameweek 6. 💎
