<h2>Bakar's Gameweek 6 best Wildcard team</h2>
<p>Here are my current selections:</p>
<h3><strong>Alphonse Areola (£4.1m)</strong></h3>
<p>Areola's consistent inclusion in every Premier League match to date indicates that he firmly occupies the starting position.</p>
<p>Given that none of the other goalkeepers have significantly distinguished themselves as a clear-cut alternative, I struggle to see the rationale behind investing extra for a different option.</p>
<p>Furthermore, West Ham have a great run of fixtures starting from Gameweek 7.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Matt Turner (£4.0m)</strong></h3>
<p>I have Matt Turner down as the backup goalkeeper.</p>
<p>Turner could lose his spot eventually, but seems to have done enough to have secured his starting position for now.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-58079 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-21-at-15.31.24.jpg" alt="" width="790" height="644" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Pervis Estupinan (£5.3m)</strong></h3>
<p>Estupinan's upcoming fixtures may not be the most favourable, but he holds strong potential as a long-term investment, which is why I'd include him in my Wildcard team.</p>
<p>Acquiring him now, along with a strong bench to compensate for his challenging matches, eliminates the need for a future transfer.</p>
<p>During the initial five Gameweeks, no other defender has recorded a higher expected goal involvement (xGi) or recorded more big chance involvements than him.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-58081" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-21-at-15.31.00.jpg" alt="" width="790" height="648" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Sven Botman (£4.5m)</strong></h3>
<p>I've gone for Botman due to Newcastle's promising fixture schedule.</p>
<p>Even though they faced a tough set of fixtures at the beginning of the season, Newcastle's defensive statistics remain impressive, making me confident that Botman will represent excellent value for his price.</p>
<p>Schar historically has had the better goal threat of the two, but this season, Botman is beating him for shots in the box and penalty area touches. Botman has been better for bonus accumulation too.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58082" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-21-at-15.33.01.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="644" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Dan Burn (£4.5m)</strong></h3>
<p>I have Burn as part of my Newcastle double up due to their upcoming fixtures.</p>
<p>Even though they had a challenging start to the season, only Arsenal have conceded fewer big chances than them in the opening five Gameweeks.</p>
<p>Burn is £0.5m cheaper than Schar, and gives you the extra savings that you might need to invest elsewhere later.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58083" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-21-at-15.33.50.jpg" alt="" width="794" height="644" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Matthew Cash (£4.7m)</strong></h3>
<p>No defender has recorded more big chances or a better xG than Cash in the opening five Gameweeks.</p>
<p>Keeping the upcoming fixture swing for Aston Villa in mind, some big hauls could be coming soon.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58084" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-21-at-15.34.41.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="644" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Issa Kabore (£4.0m)</strong></h3>
<p>Kabore looks like the most attacking of the £4m defenders that are available.</p>
<p>So far, he's created three big chances in just three starts.</p>
<p>He can do a job in Double Gameweek 7, if required.</p>
