If Rangers are looking for a no-nonsense CB, Casper Widell might be exactly that.👇🧵

Widell isn't the fashionable, line-breaking, quarterback-style centre-half.

He's a defender first & foremost in the old-school sense.

Win your duel.
Attack the ball.
Clear the danger.
Repeat.

@wereINth3matrix @StingFPL That’s weird.

App needed an update today have you done that?

[SWJA Sport 🟥🟦 @SWJA_SPORT]

@StingFPL Maybe slightly sub concern but I think Havertz could have opportunities to score 2 even just in a half against Curacao!

Probably use both transfers (I think we get 2 right?) to bring in a Brazilian & a Frenchman.

Might not be “loaded” but hopefully cover the key bases.

@JamieFantasyPL Looks good mate!

I’m here currently 👇

[SWJA Sport 🟥🟦 @SWJA_SPORT]

@BM9MF That’s really positive to hear mate, have just replied to another comment saying I’ve not watched him too much & this is mainly going off what the data tells me.

I agree for sure that playing in a more dominant side should hopefully allow him to showcase more. 👍🏼

@craig_mulg66772 @KaiGWatson This is all V positive to read - I’ll admit not having watched him too much & going with what the stats have told me so far.

Will try & get onto watching more clips of him in action.

Definitely think lining up in a more dominant side will give him opportunity to showcase more.

[SWJA Sport 🟥🟦 @SWJA_SPORT]

@fpl_tactician Quite like the idea of using the 12th man chip on him in MD1.

Will change 🧢 per fixture just sitting on Haaland by default.

[SWJA Sport 🟥🟦 @SWJA_SPORT]

@LewisR2010 Wouldn’t mind that at all 🤝

[SWJA Sport 🟥🟦 @SWJA_SPORT]

@FarvaRangers Have to say digging into him, I feel like we’ve missed this type of profile in recent years!

He’d just get everything “to fuck” 😂

[SWJA Sport 🟥🟦 @SWJA_SPORT]

The verdict?

If Rangers are seeking a ball-playing centre-back, there may be better fits.

If seeking a durable, dominant, no-nonsense defender who wins duels, attacks crosses and relishes defending his box, Widell makes plenty of sense.

There's another box he ticks: leadership.

At just 23, Widell captained Excelsior and was a near ever-present throughout the campaign. Reports in the Netherlands have highlighted both his leadership role and durability.

How might he perform at Rangers? See below 👇

#WCFantasy draft 3! 🌍🏆

🍟 liking the idea of Havertz 12th man!

🧤Vargas can swap in for Gunn.

[Anel Avdić @AnelAvdic]

🚨 Casper Widell i Excelsior Rotterdam kan få en drömflytt i sommar. Glasgow Rangers vill värva svensken – klubbar som Derby och Blackburn Rovers i Championship finns också med i bilden. https://t.co/FpBGUAqnXS

#WCFantasy update 🌍🏆

Here’s where I’m at 👇

Quite like the idea of Havertz 12th man chip if he comes through UCL final unscathed. 🍟
