The EFL Cup has been nothing short of electrifying this season, especially with the latest semi-final results sending shockwaves throughout the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) community.

These results signal significant challenges and opportunities for FPL managers as they recalibrate their strategies ahead of the second legs and upcoming Premier League fixtures.

For FPL managers, the performances in the EFL Cup could mean major shifts in player form and selection. Newcastle's triumph not only boosts their confidence but also enhances players like Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier, making them hot commodities in FPL drafts.
