Wildcard principles
Build around:
- captaincy,
- secure minutes,
- several price-efficient starters,
- at least one playable substitute,
- a structure that survives GW5 and GW6.
Strong core
Palmer: premium captain route.
Haaland or Isak: choose the preferred premium-forward structure.
Rogers: strong Chelsea value.
Ødegaard: secure Arsenal mid-price route.
João Pedro: useful forward structure.
Hall/Mitchell: attacking defender options.
Mendy: still useful, now £4.1m.
Gakpo
Do not lock an unresolved fitness doubt into a Wildcard when unlimited transfers let you choose a fully fit alternative.
OneFPL verdict
Use the Wildcard to solve structure, not to chase every riser.
