To Wild Card or not ?

[Kaiser00]

Getting concerned with my rivals. They have WC and being only 4 points ahead they have gone with :-
Ryan McGovern
Laporte Digne Maguire Lundsrum Soyunucu
Mount KDB Sterling Mane Martial
Pukki Barnes Wickam

My team with out WC is
Heaton Pope
VVD Coleman Maguire Diop Rico
Salah Sterling Martial Mount Dendocker
Kane King Greenwood

Should I be concerned? I reckon I could hold on to my WC longer and possibly match the scores.

No WC needed here unless the injury situation hit your mob.
King, Maguire and Mount are ones to watch for a FT imo.
Coleman deserves at least another week, and i see no other issues but there is a lot of football to be played the GW

Too early to be concerned about your rivals. Your team looks fine but the money can be redistributed a bit better as you have Salah, Sterling, and Kane together.

Just play your own game, try to make good moves. You don't have to follow your rivals until the last few weeks in the season. You will know when you need to wildcard (injuries, suspensions, fixture swing), but as a rule of thumb, you don't need to wildcard as long as you can fix the issue with -4 or -8. If it is more than that, you might consider wildcarding. I don't think your squad warrants a wildcard.

Agree with all the above. Focus on your own game. Their team may be set up better for the long term looking at the weaker players (Lund,Soyun playing over your Rico,Greenwood ETC) but in terms of the starting 11 theres no reason yours cant match or even beat their scores. And theres nothing a transfer or 3 cant sort out

[Kaiser00]

Good to hear gents. My thoughts were similar. Agree with Cesc the subs are weaker, but the first 11 ok. WC will fix the the subs.

And using the wildcard primarily to sort out subs isn’t the best use of it
Good luck
