Do I lose free transfers if I use Wildcard?

Wildcard Transfers and Free Transfers

In Fantasy Premier League (FPL), managers have a limited number of free transfers each gameweek. These free transfers allow managers to make changes to their team without incurring a point penalty. However, there are certain circumstances that can affect the usage of free transfers, including the use of Wildcard and other chips.

How Wildcarding Affects Free Transfers

One of the key features of the Wildcard chip is that it preserves any unused free transfers. This means that if a manager has one or more free transfers available when they use their Wildcard, those transfers will automatically roll over to the next gameweek.

This can be particularly beneficial for managers who want to make multiple transfers in a single gameweek. By using their Wildcard, they can make these transfers without having to worry about using up their free transfers for that week. The free transfers will then be available for use in the following gameweek.

Example

Let’s say a manager has two free transfers available in gameweek 10. They also have a Wildcard available. They decide to use their Wildcard in gameweek 10 to make several transfers to their team.

As a result of using their Wildcard, the two free transfers that they had available in gameweek 10 will roll over to gameweek 11. This means that the manager will have two free transfers available to use in gameweek 11, in addition to any new free transfers they earn for that gameweek.

Conclusion

Wildcarding in FPL preserves any unused free transfers. These free transfers automatically roll over to the next gameweek, allowing managers to make further transfers without penalty. This can be a valuable strategy for managers who want to make multiple transfers in a single gameweek.
