We have another exciting week of Premier League action to look forward to as the final straight draws ever closer. Here, we’ve put together a full squad that you should consider with the next seven days in mind.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every team is in action while Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion play twice, so that is worth bearing in mind when making your selections.<\/p>\n

Manchester City and Liverpool are on the road and looking to continue their fine form, while Arsenal are at home as they look to keep their title hopes alive.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we’ve assembled a 15-man squad (within a budget of \u00a3100 million) you should be considering, taking into account value, points, performances and fixtures when using your wildcard ahead of another huge week of Premier League action.<\/p>\n

Gameweek 36 Wildcard picks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

Alisson (\u00a35.4m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 151<\/em>
\nFixtures: Leicester City (A)<\/em><\/p>\n

Alisson is the best-performing goalkeeper in Fantasy Premier League this season, having collected 151 points thus far.<\/p>\n

Fresh from recording back-to-back clean sheets and facing relegation-threatened Leicester, the Liverpool goalkeeper should get you some points on the board.<\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold (\u00a37.6m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 138<\/em>
\nFixtures: Leicester City (A)<\/em><\/p>\n

Kieran Trippier (178) and Ben White (147) are the only defenders to better Alexander-Arnold’s tally of 138 points in this season’s FPL.<\/p>\n

After six assists and five appearances, the England international registered successive clean sheets so whether it is via his attacking or defensive exploits, he is likely to score points.<\/p>\n

Diego Dalot (\u00a34.8m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 100<\/em>
\nFixtures: Wolves (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

Though he only appeared as a late substitute against West Ham, Dalot has been a regular feature for United in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

The Portugal international is worth including given Erik ten Hag’s side have recorded clean sheets in each of their last five home Premier League matches.<\/p>\n

Sven Botman (\u00a34.5m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 115<\/em>
\nFixtures: Leeds United (A), Brighton and Hove Albion (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

With it being a double gameweek for Newcastle, Botman is definitely worth consideration in defence.<\/p>\n

A constant in the Magpies’ back four this season, the Swede has registered five shots in his last four appearances – more than any of his defensive colleagues during that span.<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah (\u00a313.1m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 217<\/em>
\nFixture: Leicester City (A)<\/em><\/p>\n

The best-performing midfielder in FPL this season, Salah is in brilliant form at an ideal time in the campaign for Liverpool.<\/p>\n

And the Egypt international will be confident of getting on the scoresheet against struggling opponents.<\/p>\n

Riyad Mahrez (\u00a37.3m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 113<\/em>
\nFixtures: Everton (A)<\/em><\/p>\n

Though he did not feature against Real Madrid in midweek, Mahrez is likely to feature with Pep Guardiola almost certain to rotate.<\/p>\n

The Algeria international has provided nine assists this season – including four in his last three appearances.<\/p>\n

Martin Odegaard (\u00a36.7m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 205<\/em>
\nFixtures: Brighton and Hove Albion (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

With three goals in his last two appearances, Odegaard prepares to face Brighton having recorded back-to-back double-figure hauls.<\/p>\n

The Arsenal skipper has also been directly involved in four goals in as many Premier League appearances against the Seagulls.<\/p>\n

Joelinton (\u00a36m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 111<\/em>
\nFixtures: Leeds United (A), Brighton and Hove Albion (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

Joelinton has been in brilliant form in recent weeks, scoring four goals and providing two assists in his last seven appearances.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have scored the most goals in the last four matchdays (13), so the Brazilian will be confident of further contributing to the Magpies’ cause.<\/p>\n

Ivan Toney (\u00a37.3m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 182<\/em>
\nFixture: West Ham United (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

Toney is aiming to score in a fourth successive home Premier League game when Brentford welcome West Ham on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The England international has also been directly involved in each of the Bees’ last four goals against the Hammers.<\/p>\n

Callum Wilson (\u00a37.1m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 130<\/em>
\nFixtures: Leeds United (A), Brighton and Hove Albion (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

After scoring five goals, Wilson has collected 32 points across the last four matchdays – the most by any Newcastle player in that time.<\/p>\n

He will be confident of continuing in that vein against Leeds, who have conceded 12 goals in three home games, and a Brighton side with just two away clean sheets this season.<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland (\u00a312.3m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 259<\/em>
\nFixtures: Everton (A)<\/em><\/p>\n

The best-performing player in FPL this season, Haaland is enduring something of a mini drought having failed to find the net in two appearances.<\/p>\n

But with that mouth-watering Champions League semi-final second leg against Real Madrid coming up at the Etihad in midweek, getting back on the scoresheet here would be the perfect way for him to warm up.<\/p>\n

\n

Fraser Forster (\u00a33.9m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 36<\/em>
\nFixtures: Aston Villa (A)<\/em><\/p>\n

Tyrone Mings (\u00a34.8m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 126<\/em>
\nFixtures: Tottenham Hotspur (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

Victor Lindelof (\u00a34.1m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 40<\/em>
\nFixtures: Wolves (H)<\/em><\/p>\n

Pascal Gro\u00df (\u00a35.4m)<\/h4>\n

FPL points so far: 137<\/em>
\nFixtures: Arsenal (A), Newcastle United (A)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
