- Similarly, wildcard is very powerful when activated before double gameweeks (you would get rid of players who have fewer matches in upcoming gameweeks and replace them with players with the most matches during upcoming gameweeks)
- Also, a good time to use your wildcard is when the majority of your team is injured or suspended, and you do not want to take -32 points hit
