Wildcard strategy for GW4
The international break is one of the most popular wildcard windows. Here is the AI take on whether to pull the trigger:
Play it if...
- You have 3+ injured or blanking players and limited free transfers
- Your squad is poorly set up for the fixture swing
- You still have both Free Hit and Bench Boost to pair later
Wait if...
- You only need 1-2 transfers to fix your squad
- There is a bigger fixture swing or blank/double GW coming
- FA Cup results could create further blanks that change the picture
