The Importance of Wildcards
Activating a wildcard in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is a strategic move that many players are embracing, especially during the international break. This year’s changes in transfer rules, such as the ability to roll over transfers up to five times, make it more viable to play wildcards now rather than waiting for the next international break. Making early adjustments can allow players to form a more balanced team that can adapt better to upcoming fixtures. The hosts discussed the record number of active wildcards, indicating a general trend among managers seeking to optimize their squads.
