FPL GW30 Wildcard Guide

Wildcard during this time of the season is often clubbed with other chips which means there are multiple strategies to consider while free-hitting. In this wildcard guide, we’ll go through most of the popular chip strategies that involve a GW30 Wildcard.

• Wildcard in GW30 with Free Hit 34 and Bench Boost 37
• Wildcard in GW30 without Free Hit 34 and Bench Boost 37
• Wildcard in GW30 with Bench Boost 34, Free Hit 37
• Wildcard in GW30 with BB34 and no Free Hit 37

Upcoming Double Gameweeks:

• Seven teams will surely double in GW34 – Arsenal, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Wolves, Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, Everton

• One team will blank in GW34 – Tottenham Hotspur
• Two teams likely to double in GW35/36 – Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur
• Six teams likely to double in GW37 – Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Man City, Man United, Newcastle United, Brighton

Pros of GW30 Wildcard:

• You can build a solid team based on your chip strategy and avoid being priced out by delaying your wildcard
• Avoid taking hits to bring in players to Salah who is doubling in GW34 and also has good fixtures from GW30 onwards

Cons of GW30 Wildcard:

• Based on your chip strategy you might bench boost in GW37 which is far away from GW30, injuries are always a cause of concern if there is a huge gap between the wildcard week and bench boost gameweek
• Some of the popular assets whom you might remove on Wildcard including the likes of Son, Watkins, and Maddison all have good fixtures in GW30 and they could haul
• The fitness status of Liverpool players including Alisson and Trent is not known clearly yet.

Other Windows to Play Wildcard:

• GW31: With more injury news and fitness status of many players
• GW35: With an idea of BB37(Less gap between Wildcard and BB)

GW30 vs GW31 Wildcard

• GW30 Wildcard allows you to go early on Liverpool assets like Salah, Darwin, and other assets like Isak, Gusto, etc who have less ownership right now
• GW31 Wildcard helps you avoid Arsenal and City in GW30 as they play each other before loading up on them in GW31 WC. Also helps you to hold Watkins for one more week vs Wolves(H) before selling for the tough fixtures from GW31 and Villa not having DGWs till the end of the season. GW31 Wildcard would also give more injury news as GW30 is right after the international break.
• GW31 Wildcard also helps you to get more injury news on TAA/Alisson and monitor the yellow card situation of Darwin and Jackson

There is not much to differentiate between GW30 & GW31 Wildcard as drafts are likely to be similar. It depends on your team/injuries.

FPL GW30 Wildcard Drafts

FPL GW30 Wildcard Draft 1- WC30, FH34, BB37

GW30 Wildcard Draft:

• If your team is short of team value/budget, you can downgrade Gordon to a Garnacho as Garnacho also doubles in GW37 and is in good form
• Since you have Free Hit to navigate GW34, you can hold on to your Spurs assets for their good fixtures from GW30-GW33 starting with Luton(H).
• Isak has good fixtures from GW30 and also doubles in GW37. With Wilson still not back, he should get lots of minutes.

Projection for GW37 Bench Boost:

You can have 15 DGW players on GW37 Bench Boost with just 3 Free Transfers from GW35- GW37:

• Salah to De Bruyne/Foden/Bruno Fernandes
• Saka to Foden/Spurs Mid(Richarlison/Maddison)- To be done before GW36 as Spurs are likely to double in GW36 as well.
• Gabriel to Porro/City DEF(if you are not on triple-up City)

FPL GW30 Wildcard Draft 2- WC30, BB37, No Free Hit Left

GW30 Wildcard Draft

• This draft would mean having a mix of Double Gameweek assets from both DGW34 and DGW37 as you don’t have Free Hit to navigate either. There will be more DGW34 players as it comes first and you can use FTs from there to navigate to DGW37 players.
• Van Hecke and Gusto as DEFs with DGW37. Gabriel, Branthwaite, and Munoz as DEFs with DGW34.

Projection for GW34:

• One planned transfer-> Son to Eze
• Sarabia is a place-holder for Olise and will be Olise by DGW34 when he is fit.

Projection for GW37 Bench Boost:

• 8 transfers from GW34 team to get to this GW37 Bench Boost which 5 hits(-20 points) over 3 Gameweeks. If you are a manager willing to take risks, you can try this strategy as this involves too many hits.
• The counterargument is that, out of these 8 transfers 3 of them will be to get in Spurs assets who have two upcoming Double Gameweeks in GW36 and GW37. These 8 transfers are likely to pay off as you are bringing in reliable assets like Hojlund, Isak, KDB, Foden, Son, Porro, and Richarlison(as seen in the above projection). Hits for these players with Double Gameweeks are more likely to pay off than hits for Palace/Bournemouth/Wolves assets.

FPL GW30 Wildcard Draft 3- WC30, Bench Boost 34, Free Hit 37

This strategy would mean to build a Wildcard team only to target to DGW34 bench. So triple Liverpool, triple Arsenal is a no-brainer.

Projection for Bench Boost in GW34

• 2 Planned transfers for GW34- Eze and Olise in for Son and Palmer
• As you will have Free Hit to navigate DGW37, you can only focus on getting Chelsea and Spurs players in GW35, GW36(Gusto, Son, Richarlison, Palmer) to attack the likely Double GW36 for Spurs and Chelsea.
• The problem with this strategy is that you are likely to sell Spurs asset(s) in GW34 and buy back again in GW35 thereby wasting many transfers. Another issue is that you will be banking on Palace, Bournemouth and Wolves assets with not so easy fixtures to come good in Bench Boost.

FPL GW30 Wildcard Scenario – WC30, BB34 and no Free Hit left

We strongly do not recommend this strategy due to:

• There are no teams that will Double in both GW34 and GW37. Your Bench Boost GW34 team will have no Spurs assets(Blank GW for Spurs) and one or zero Chelsea assets(Chelsea play Arsenal(A) in GW34). From there to get 11 DGW assets for GW37 will be really difficult and would require lots of hits.
• You need to either compromise on not having 15 DGW players for BB34 or not having 11 good DGW players.
• In GW34, Apart of Arsenal and Liverpool assets there are not many reliable to assets to get to 15 quality DGW players.

So if you don’t have Free Hit left and have only Wildcard and Bench Boost left, this are the possible strategies you should go for:

• Dead end team to GW34, WC35, BB37(Most recommended)
• WC30/31, BB37(Discussed above)
