The deadline will slam shut at 11 am (BST), and all Wildcard drafts, tricky transfer dilemmas, and triple captain choices will need to be made.
Managers have just hours left to lock in their squads, weigh up the risks, and hope their decisions set the tone for the weeks ahead.
Bakar is on his Wildcard this week, and despite how busy he is researching his picks and finalising his team, he’s kindly stopped by to share some last-minute tips for Gameweek 6.
His insight could be the difference between climbing the ranks and watching rivals pull away.
Here’s a quick checklist to guide your final moves:
Haaland is the number one priority this week.
For managers with Salah but no Haaland, the Wildcard in GW6 looks the best chip play.
Wildcarding now locks in team value and gives you two free transfers by Gameweek 8.
The Wildcard offers long-term stability, while the Triple Captain is only a one-off short-term boost. Only use the Triple Captain chip if your squad is in good shape.
Senesi, Tarkowski and Andersen are the most reliable defenders for consistent returns.
Tarkowski offers an attacking threat too, with West Ham conceding the most from set plays.
Doubling on Arsenal’s defence with Raya and Gabriel looks like a strong play. • Fernandes remains a lock despite United’s struggles, with underlying numbers pointing to big hauls.
Template Wildcard teams are fine at this stage; optimal picks matter more than chasing differentials.
Bench Boost is best saved for Gameweek 7, once the international break has passed.
Ndiaye is a cheaper and lower-owned alternative to Grealish with similar numbers.
Wirtz can be held unless you can fund a move to Bruno.
Watkins is frustrating but worth keeping unless you are Wildcarding.
