How This Works

Each player receives a watchlist score calculated as: (form x 2.1) + (points per game x 1.8) + ((6 - avg FDR over 6 fixtures) x 2.4) + (value x 0.08) + transfer momentum. This weights fixture quality most heavily, followed by current form and season-long consistency, giving you a balanced view of the best wildcard targets.
