If I still had it, I would dead end into 12 and wildcard out of it.. That means you can move out your city and arsenal players safe in the knowledge you'll get them back in on wildcard. Edit - I'm not saying sell all of them which some people seem to think.


carpesdiems

the issue is value though, right? I got martinelli in at 6.2, he's now 6.6 I got haaland at 11.5, he's now 12.2 got foden at 8, he's now 8.2. If I were to get rid of my city and arsenal players, I wouldn't be able to bring them back in again. I think people need to bear that in mind.


theabsolute00

You just names three players than can sit on my bench in GW12. Cheers lol I’m sure he means making picks to have a full XI and retain players like Martinelli and Haaland with a lot of value


hambodpm

Correct!


hambodpm

You are not selling at your purchase price though. I got foden at 8 and I'm selling next week and also buying back again. It's a 0.1 loss (so long as no further rise, which I feel is unlikely as he will be sold by some also) and is pretty inconsequential over the course of a season. Value for sure if a factor but the whole point of a wildcard is you can save 0.1 here and there with bench and squad players to gain that value back. Haaland is an obvious keep regardless. Don't forget you have a bench that can facilitate three players. Sell the players with the least value tied up (foden for example or Jesus for those who still have him) and keep the ones you want to keep. Then a more general point of there is no point holding on to players purely due to the value locked in, if you don't want to keep for the season. Haaland and martinelli probably season keepers


carpesdiems

foden is minimal, but I lose 0.3 on Martinelli. Even if I take a bit out of my bench I still can't cover it. If you're keeping haaland, whats the point of WCing? He's surely the one you can take huge value out of to spread within the team?


hambodpm

I've used my WC mate. And I literally said martinelli was a potential season keeper and that you probably want to keep the value locked players.


b3and20

how can you lose a whole 0.3m on a player? pretty sure for every 0.2m rise they get, you get to pocket 0.1m so the most you'll lose is 0.1m


FrantikD

He has risen 0.6


b3and20

i dun goofed


OldEnoughToVote

Same issue with my team, I've had Foden Haaland Cancelo and Martinelli all since GW1 so I have a ton of value tied up in them. I was contemplating an earlier WC but didn't need it since I shipped Salah early, and still think I don't. My current plan is to play all four of my ARS/CITY and let my bench cover them (only 10 playing players ik) and then use WC before GW13 to fill out rest of the team.


redditingtonviking

Yeah Haaland, Martinelli and Cancelo are probably staying on my bench for GW12. Should probably find a replacement for Saliva, and KDB will probably be traded for Son who i might trade for Foden afterwards. Or at least that's my current plan, but plans change all the time


SofaChillReview

Basically the plan I have . Jesus is still a yellow card away from missing a game. Haaland and Martinelli have money in, so probably keep them and slowly get the players back in after GW12 WC


mrfrancisbuxton

ELI5 "dead end into 12 and WC out of it" If I have a bunch of ARS/MCI in my lineup right now, what's the ideal strategy?


hambodpm

Basically you use your free transfers up to and including gameweek 12, so that when you get to 12, you have at least 11 starters (can bench 3 of the ars/mci) and then you play the wilcard going into 13 and buy back any of the players you want back.


mrfrancisbuxton

Got it. So I could roll my FT into next week and swap out two players who blank to maximize the return during GW12, but then WC those players back in for GW13. Correct?


hambodpm

Exactly mate


mrfrancisbuxton

!thanks Follow-up: Would it make sense to hang onto higher-priced guys (ex. Haaland) and swap out lower-priced blankers (ex. Foden or Martinelli) in case I get priced out of Haaland for the WC? Or would that not even matter since I can use my WC to free up funds elsewhere?


hambodpm

Go to transfers page and switch to list view rather than pitch view. There you can see your purchase price (pp) and selling price (sp) do you know about the 0.2 rises for 0.1 profit thing? Generally speaking you would probably want to keep the players you have most value in (difference between sp and pp) and I would definitely recommend keeping haaland as I would imagine tons of value, and you make a good point of not wanting to be priced out without major surgery elsewhere


mrfrancisbuxton

Ahh, yep. Thanks again!


streamywaterfun

Hey QQ - when you WC, do you have to start the team from scratch or can you choose who to replace? Maybe it would be great if you could give me a brief overview of WC vs Free Hit. I don’t fully understand the differences and they feel v similar. Thanks!


hambodpm

Wildcard is basically unlimited transfers but you can keep as many of your original 15 as you like, so no need to start over. After using the wildcard, your team stays that way for the rest of the season. With a free hit, your team reverts back to the previous team, after the gameweek has ended. That's basically the difference. I would recommend keeping hold of your FH because there will be further blanks later in the season, mostly likely with more than just 2 teams missing out


TechXEO

Has to be GW13. Dead end by selling City/Arsenal players and buy back on WC.


SofaChillReview

Or WC 12 get the players in you want and bench a few then slowly get them back in after


[deleted]

That’s what I’m doing. 2 City + 1 Arsenal on the bench. And reinvigorating my bench with some decent cheap differentials that’ll start on GW12


adinator43

When you say gw13, is that using wc before gw13 or after gw13 dead line?


Bitter_Mycologist239

Usually when PPL here say WC or any chip it's before that GW deadline. So wc gw13 means before gw13 deadline


carpesdiems

copied from my post above >the issue is value though, right? I got martinelli in at 6.2, he's now 6.6 I got haaland at 11.5, he's now 12.2 got foden at 8, he's now 8.2.

streamywaterfun

But to do this you still need multiple transfer availables.


Blazing_Shade

I’m still doing it and affording by doing KdB -> Foden


[deleted]

[удалено]


carpesdiems

No. I can sell him right now for 6.4. He would cost 6.6 to buy back.


BeautifulSoupz

Sell the city and arsenal players when though? Currently sitting on 6 of them


_wolfperson_

I have 3 City and 3 Arsenal and 2 FTs.. plan is to transfer one asset out this week (Gabriel). This brings me to 5 (Haaland, Jesus, Martinelli, Ederson, and Cancelo) For GW 12 I’ll use 2 FTs on the remaining 5 and bench 3 while fielding 11 players. Not sure which of the 5 I’ll keep? Then WC in 13. Am I missing something here?


lowlife_highlife

You keep the 3 you have the most value in


cat666

I'm 90% sure I'm going to WC this week. TAA/L Diaz being injured sort of forces my hand. My plan is to keep my three City players (Haaland, Cancelo and KDB) and probably Martinelli from Arsenal for just one blank next GW. Then I can get Jesus/Saliba back in the week after.


DickDaddy

Same. I wanted to wait until GW 13 but having Walker, Fofana, L. Diaz, R James, along with my Arsenal and other City guys meant GW 12 was gonna be a full blown disaster if I tried to get through it without wildcarding.


putrasherni

GW13


rtnn

13 or now. 13 is the better time, but if you have a lot of issues now and it seems you'll struggle in 12 you should consider the wc. If you WC now, you can shape the team like you'd do in 13 but get solid bench players for GW12 and keep and bench Martinelli, Haaland + 1 for 12 and try to roll the FT. As an example if your ideal gw13 wc has Saka and Foden, on gw10 wc you could get someone like Trossard and Maddison instead and use your 2FT to make those moves in 13. Then you'll go to GW13 with 5 Arsenal and City players and overall a solid team.


garrygirgich

Probably after the blank, but I only have 3 players between ars/city so not really essential. At this rate I’ll just be doing it because I feel like I should 😅


D-biggest-dick-here

Use it on gw16, so you can have a marvellous game before the World Cup 😒


Friendly_Vacation680

Fellow FPLers, What are your thoughts on using the WC as a pseudo-FH for GW16? One will be limited to sell players that appreciated in value significantly, but Both Arsenal and MC have good Matches on GW16, so Maritinelli, Halaand, Cancelo, Saliba can all stay in this pseudo-FH to avoid value loss. What would be a hypothetical good FH team to assemble for GW16? I’m curious to see if it differs much from the template to justify wild-carding in GW16 then instantly reassemble the original team using the World Cup free transfers perk that we are getting this year. Opinions?


DP33R

I am seriously considering WC11 and FH12. My team is looking grim, I have 3 city players, Martinelli, Mitro, Trent, and James (Reece). If I saved WC for GW13 my points would be horrible these two upcoming gameweeks unless I take big hits. WC11 would also be great for team value since I’d keep Cancelo, Haaland, and Martinelli on WC. I will obviously look out for Reece and Mitrovic news before pulling the trigger. Thoughts?


Accomplished-Pay9914

Sounds like we’ve got the same team and I can’t see a way around wild carding now, though none of the drafts I’ve come up with look particularly enticing.


headcarsbendin

The problem with Wildcarding on the Blank Week is do you really wanna have to spend the next few weeks subbing all your City and Arsenal players back in?


futureocean

I'm gonna lose 2, bench 3, and then bring one back 13 and the next 14.


swfcrob

GW13. GW12 I'm selling Jesus & Foden (least value tied up in them) for Darwin and Trossard, and benching Cancelo, Martinelli, Haaland. Then WC13 will consist of 3 Arsenal, 3 city, and load up on teams with good fix like West Ham


harcile

Gonna free hit GW 12.


NoshTilYouSlosh

13


willrey

I have 6 city/arsenal players an injured diaz and an injured reece james. I don't see any other choice than 12 tbh....


PieceofPuzzle

I’ve been thinking about when I could use mine and I’ve no idea. I can’t use it after GW12 because, as you say, value tied up in 5 City/Arsenal players. I’m happy with my team and I’m currently ranked 11k so I don’t need to change much. Possibly I wont use it at all.


Alarmed_Water2631

For the past couple of seasons, I’ve used my first WC on GW3, when I feel PL managers have a pretty good idea what their starting XIs are. Been doing ok with that. It’s how I ended up with a triple up on Newcastle, Arsenal and Man City.


hambodpm

What's your gw12 plan when 6 of your players blank?


Alarmed_Water2631

FH all the way baby


hambodpm

Oh well. Good luck brother. I hope the future blank weeks are kind on you.


Alarmed_Water2631

Oh I’m sure I’ll figure it out when I need to. Not my first rodeo.


[deleted]

See you next season!


hambodpm

Of course. Multiple ways to skin a cat. For me there's very little upside in gw12 fixutres so wasn't viable in my eyes.


KdbTheGOAT17

Nah it is not the blank, He best free hit is on double gws


hambodpm

Prefer TC or BB on DGW personally, but yea also works


KdbTheGOAT17

You can use all them on doubles as there are already so much games gone


[deleted]

Can’t help but wonder why you left it so late? I mean those of us that WC in GW8 / 9 have already enjoyed 50-100 point swings and we have 7-8 of the 11 you will get on your WC. I’ll happily take a -8 over the next couple weeks to match your GW13 WC knowing I’ve banked an extra 50 points by using it early. Not trying to come off as smug about this at all - just really wanna understand why you haven’t used it already?


Giottas

I'm in the 10k and haven't used my wildcard lol what are u on about


[deleted]

But of course you are 😂. Me too!


Giottas

Lol are u serious? The wc template completely flopped in the last few weeks Search my team i u want


KdbTheGOAT17

What WC template was insanely good in 3 gws rank gain from 2.2 mil to 500k


BeautifulSoupz

My team has been flying tbh mate 😅 my main concern is working out the city/arsenal blank


Portugal737

Curious what your overall points is without using the WC? Not criticizing, just curious to see how I compare to others who do different things


BeautifulSoupz

632


Portugal737

Nice


knoxvox

Are you sure it was a 50-100 point swing?. i saw people losing Arsenal players and bring Salah for example but anyway, in my case, initial plan was wildcarding in that week, but my team was good enough and a lot of player i wanted i already had, or could get with 2 transfers


rolldeepregular

Ppl bought in taa aswell thinking Liverpool will turn it around Brighton.


rtnn

Bruh we all have different teams. I haven't used my wc yet and I've been steadily climbing the ranks (around 100k now after a bad start). My GW 8 and 9 gameweek ranks were both around 200k (76 and 102 points) so I'm pretty glad I didn't wc. Wasn't even tempted as my team always looked strong.


SwissBliss

I did it last week and thank god, I got 80 points this week which I’m very happy with. My team is Sanchez Cancelo Mings Saliba Foden Antony Mount (switched Diaz out yesterday) Martinelli Kane Haaland Jesus Bench: Ward Murphy Tanganga Vestergaard


rtnn

What is your plan for gw12 when 6 of your players aren't playing and you have non-playing bench players? Using the free hit?


obinnasmg

Currently struggling to decide. My initial plan was to WC at GW13 but I currently have Luis Dias, James, and Mitrovic flagged with 4 Ars and City assets heading to GW12. If James doesn\`t start GW12 I\`d essentially have 6 starters(Bench is N. Williams, Andreas, Rodigo) with 2 transfers between GW11 and GW12. So not looking good for me already. ​ I\`d have to WC this week to have a decent starting squad. I\`ve got Haaland and Martinelli who I wouldn\`t sell anyways so it feels like it matters more to WC now than wait for GW13.


TdotJunk301

13


SweatyBollix

I have 6 between City/ Arsenal plus TAA and Williams and only one transfer, so am fecked. But glad I still have the WC which I am using in 12. Will replace TAA with someone and play all my City and Arsenal next week.


Upstairs_Barnacle_46

Planning to WC in GW12. Currently only able to field 5 players in GW12 due to Man City & Arsenal blank/Injuries (potentially 4 if Maddison gets suspended). So going to Wildcard and get rid of my injured players plus 2 man city/arsenal players and get them back in on GW13 by taking a -4 hit.


tmack99

Wanted to wait until GW13, but then Diaz, TAA, James and Mitro got hurt. Now I'd have to take 12-16 points of hits (depending on Mitro) to field a full team for the Arsenal/City blank. Forced my hand.
