FPL Wire

Schade is a low-owned Brentford midfielder, but modest form and difficult fixtures make him more watchlist than buy.

Matty Cash offers GW36 appeal, but poor form and tough final fixtures limit his FPL upside.

Alderete offers steady budget defender value, but modest form and low upside make him more of a watch than a buy.

Xhaka offers cheap minutes and steady points, but his low ceiling makes him a hold or watch rather than a priority buy.

Ballard’s 116-point season is overshadowed by suspension, poor form, and weak final fixtures.

Salah still has premium upside, but his price, flag and modest xP make him a watch rather than a must-own.

Anthony offers cheap midfield minutes and a decent GW38 fixture, but his recent form and low upside limit the appeal.

Ampadu offers minutes and a steady floor, but his low attacking output limits real FPL upside.

Ouattara is a low-owned £5.7m midfielder with decent season totals, but weak form and fixtures make him a clear FPL fade.

Donnarumma looks a strong GW36 goalkeeper buy, with 13 clean sheets and an 8.42 xP home fixture against Palace.
