What is wildcard in fpl?

In Fantasy Premier League (FPL), a wildcard is a special chip that allows you to make unlimited transfers to your team without any point deductions. There are two types of wildcards available in FPL:

  1. The "Wildcard" chip: This chip can be used once in the first half of the season (before January 1st) and once in the second half of the season. When you play this chip, you can make as many transfers as you want without facing any point deductions.

  2. The "Free Hit" chip: This chip can be used once in a single gameweek and allows you to make unlimited transfers for that particular gameweek only. Once the gameweek is over, your team will revert back to its original state.

Using a wildcard can be a strategic way to reshape your team, make necessary changes, and improve your overall points tally. It is a valuable tool, especially when you want to overhaul your team due to injuries, suspensions, or underperforming players. It's important to plan and time your wildcard usage wisely to maximize its benefits throughout the season.
