Are Gameweeks 4 and 7 the best time to play the first Wildcard in FPL?

The Gameweeks are coming in thick and fast and more often than not we forget to sit back and think macro.

Chelsea’s performance on Sunday was incredibly encouraging and with most Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers having no Blues assets, a few might be thinking of a Wildcard during the first international break which follows Gameweek 3.

So, I thought it might be a good time to look at the merits of a Gameweek 4 versus a Gameweek 7 Wildcard.

The idea of this article is to help you think about the factors involved, that is all. Whether you Wildcard or not obviously depends on the state of your team and I leave that decision to you.

    Would you prefer Raphinha or Gray for the next couple of games?

    Just to be awkward I am likely wildcarding gw5 I am not sure what lateriser would think of that. Relating to the article above I think laterisers line of 'thinking macro' sums him up who else would use that line only him? Other writers seem to lean heavily on fantasy football clichéd jargon.

      Really liking Dier for Spurs defensive form and chance for free kicks.

        Then again Leeds are getting good fixtures soon, so Ayling could also be a good choice.
