When to Use Your Wildcard (Without Regrets)

Wildcard
Planning

1) Good triggers

  • Team is 4–6 players off the template or key premiums.
  • Major fixture swing for multiple targets.
  • Injury/rotation chaos after international breaks.

2) Bad triggers

Two mistakes or one price fall ≠ Wildcard. Roll transfers; don't burn your safety net.

3) Build checklist

  • 15 starters (for future Bench Boost flexibility).
  • Captaincy path for next 5–6 GWs.
  • Cash in bank for obvious upgrades.
