As we head into the business end of the 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League season, a small number of managers still have their second Wildcard available.
Just 5.0% of the top 1,000 managers are yet to play it. However, across the whole game — excluding inactive teams (those without a transfer for five Gameweeks) — 39.4% are still holding onto their Wildcard, according to the FPL Statistics tool.
Whether you're one of these managers or simply looking for inspiration for your upcoming transfers, Fantasy Football Fix's Assistant Manager tool has crunched the numbers to deliver a data-driven team for the final four Gameweeks.
Let’s take a look at the Algorithm’s picks and the stats behind them.

David Raya has been a key figure in Arsenal’s defensive success this season, recording 12 clean sheets so far.
His consistency makes him a strong option for managers aiming to shore up their backline for the season run-in. According to the Predicted Points & Stats tool, Arsenal are forecasted to keep 1.6 clean sheets between now and the end of the season.
The 25-year-old Ukrainian international has been a standout budget option this season.
Despite Everton’s struggles, they’ve kept 10 clean sheets — as many as Manchester City — the joint-fifth highest in the league, according to the Opta Stats Sandbox. They've also conceded just 41 goals, again joint-fifth best in the division.
Mykolenko adds attacking threat too, with 2 assists, 12 shots, and 4 big chances created. His mix of defensive stability and forward potential makes him an excellent value pick for the run-in.
The algorithm has gone for a double-up on Everton’s defence, with young Irish international Jake O’Brien also making the cut.
A glance at the Fixture Difficulty Rating tool, filtered by defensive difficulty, shows why — Everton rank top, with two favourable home fixtures against Ipswich and Southampton in their final four Gameweeks.
Be sure to check the bench cover and rotation suggestions at the bottom of the article to ensure you're covered for the other fixtures.
The French centre-back has been a rock at the heart of Arsenal’s defence and a fixture in many FPL squads throughout the season.
With 12 clean sheets, 2 goals, and a strong total of 127 points, Saliba combines defensive reliability with occasional attacking returns — making him a well-rounded option for the run-in.
The Egyptian King's goal against Spurs at the weekend ended a rare four-game drought, reminding managers of his ever-present threat.
With a phenomenal 28 goals, 18 assists, and 328 points this season, Salah is the definition of a premium asset. Even with a tough away fixture at Chelsea up next, his consistent output and explosive potential make him a standout pick for the run-in.
The 28-year-old English winger has enjoyed an impressive season despite West Ham's struggles, delivering 9 goals and 10 assists.
✅ 4 attacking returns in his last 4 games

✅ West Ham’s top scorer (9 goals) & top assister (10)
✅ Fixtures: TOT (H), MUN (A), NFO (H), IPS (A)
Is Bowen tempting you for the season run-in? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/ebitPOyBkz
Bowen remains central to West Ham’s attack and offers strong value as a mid-priced midfield option.
With fixtures against Spurs, Manchester United (who may be distracted by European commitments), and Ipswich in three of his final four matches, there’s real potential for a big return or two in the run-in.
The Cameroonian international has enjoyed another standout season for Brentford, scoring 18 goals and providing 7 assists. With 210 FPL points, only him and Salah (328) has surpassed the 200-point mark so far this campaign.
Mbeumo’s favourable fixtures make him an appealing option for the run-in. In yesterday’s article, we compared his stats to teammate Yoane Wissa to see who might be the better pick — but spoiler alert: the Algorithm likes both.
Despite limited minutes this season, the Belgian maestro has still produced 3 goals and 9 assists in just 1,455 minutes.
While perhaps past his absolute peak, De Bruyne’s creativity remains undeniable — he's created 14 big chances and continues to dictate City's play.
With favourable fixtures ahead, starting with Wolves at home, he could well deliver a big haul or two in what may be his final Premier League run-in.
As mentioned above, the Algorithm favours a Brentford attacking double-up — and Wissa fully justifies his inclusion.
A glance at the Match Stats feature explains the decision: between him and Mbeumo, they top the charts for goals, expected goals, shots on target, FPL assists, and attempted assists over the last five Gameweeks.
Wissa has scored 15 goals this season, with 36 shots on target and an xG of 16.22 highlighting his consistent threat — and suggesting he could have delivered even more.
With a home fixture against Manchester United next, he’s a strong differential with serious haul potential.
The Brazilian forward was one of the standout performers in Blank Gameweek 34, delivering a 15-point haul against Leicester.
With 15 goals and 7 assists this season, there’s little doubt he’s been Wolves’ top performer — both on the pitch and statistically — despite a few ups and downs off it.
While the away trip to Manchester City is a tough fixture, Cunha’s form, value price point, and attractive final three matches earn him a place in the Algorithm’s picks.
The New Zealand striker is enjoying arguably the best season of his career, having scored 19 goals — a tally bettered only by Salah (28), Isak (22), and Haaland (21).
Wood’s efficiency is striking: he’s returned those 19 goals from just 54 shots and an xG of 12.2.
With favourable fixtures against Leicester and West Ham still to come, the 33-year-old offers great value and rounds off the Wildcard team as a high-upside differential.
There’s a double double-up on the bench, with Sels and Aina joining Chris Wood from Nottingham Forest, while Kluivert and Kerkez represent Bournemouth.
According to the Assistant Manager’s Optimal Player Rotation Strategy, these bench players are strategically deployed across the final four Gameweeks.
The tool projects this rotation will boost overall points by 12.7 — a significant gain for the run-in.
This data-driven Wildcard squad combines premium heavy-hitters, in-form mid-priced assets, and smart budget enablers.
Whether you're playing your Wildcard or simply planning your final transfers, leveraging stats and projected points like these can give you an edge.
Make sure to tailor picks to suit your own team structure and strategy. Good luck with the final push of the 2024/25 FPL season!
