Wildcard
Planning
1) Good triggers
- Team is 4–6 players off the template or key premiums.
- Major fixture swing for multiple targets.
- Injury/rotation chaos after international breaks.
2) Bad triggers
Two mistakes or one price fall ≠ Wildcard. Roll transfers; don't burn your safety net.
3) Build checklist
- 15 starters (for future Bench Boost flexibility).
- Captaincy path for next 5–6 GWs.
- Cash in bank for obvious upgrades.
