Does Wildcard remove points?

Wildcard Transfers: Eliminating Point Penalties for Mid-Gameweek Adjustments

In the world of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), managers often face the challenge of making strategic transfers to optimize their team’s performance. However, these transfers can come at a cost, as FPL typically penalizes managers by deducting points from their total for each transfer made beyond the first free transfer in a game week.

This is where the Wildcard chip comes into play. A Wildcard is a special chip that allows managers to make unlimited transfers within a single game week without incurring any point penalties. This provides managers with the flexibility to revamp their team or address any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the week.

One of the key benefits of the Wildcard chip is its ability to wipe away any point deductions accrued from previous transfers made during the same game week. This means that managers can freely make multiple transfers without worrying about accumulating point penalties.

For example, if a manager has already made two transfers in a game week and has incurred a 4-point penalty, a subsequent Wildcard transfer will eliminate this penalty entirely. As a result, the manager can continue to make transfers and adjust their team without any further point deductions.

However, it’s important to note that the Wildcard chip only removes point penalties for transfers made within the same game week. If a manager has incurred point deductions from previous game weeks, these deductions will not be affected by the Wildcard.

Overall, the Wildcard chip offers managers a valuable tool for making mid-gameweek adjustments without the risk of point deductions. By using the Wildcard strategically, managers can optimize their team’s performance and navigate the challenges of FPL more effectively.
