1)Perfect time for wildcard

Yes. Why not? When you found yourself too far behind after just 4 gameweeks, and having a shit team not look like going to provide you any points for the coming fixture, why not rebuild your squad with the informations gathered from these 4 gameweeks? For my own experience sharing, I was ranked 417834 after GW3, then entered 2 weeks break for internationals. I used my wildcard immediately after GW3, refreshed my squad, and gained 1.7 in team value by GW5! My ranking also rose to 25557 by GW6, and went steady for the rest of season. (peaked at 6901 on GW13 and finished 18042, my best finishing so far) It's a great gift that the game introduced wildcard, a magic item that secures your season when you think you had a poor start and feeling hopeless.

Oh. And now you know the importance of picking your starting squad. It's the best if you are able to continue with confidence on your current team, saving the wildcard for the worst.

2)Check out players' international performances

No rest in getting infos for the improvement of your fantasy game! International games provide good info of players' form too. This also makes early transfer comes with a risk: players might get injured with national team, or even loses his current form after a poor international outing. That would cause you to have made a useless transfer. So, don't miss the coming 2 matchdays!

3)Should you wait until the deadline to make transfer?

Unless you're waiting for my tips...ha ha...
If you're trying to snap up hot item, like for now (Bracket shows transfers in GW so far) Lennon (80k), Hunt(51k), Shawcross(36k), Johnson(29k), Defoe(24k) and others, better get it as soon as their last match ended. With 2 weeks to go before next GW their price tag are likely to go up 0.2 and more. Combine this idea with wildcard you can make a great fortune, and they are equally good buys.

Another reason to make quick transfer: when the player you're going to dump is rapidly losing popularity which means price drop is inevitable. Rather than losing your team value, dispose them as soon as you could. Of course this should combine with a good buy, not another rubbish. A transfer must be made quickly when a player is no longer a first choice, get injured for long period or get suspended.

Note that I say, "player that you're going to dump". If you feel that a player, though losing popularity, is going to bounce back in next game, keep him and you may me making an edging move! The last thing you want to see is the player you've just sold score a hat-trick in the following game (that happens to me numerous times in the past). A good example here is, a nett total of 21071 people gave up Rooney after GW2, what happens next? Rooney grabbed 2 goals and 3 bonus points! Imagine how much you lost by switching him away. (You should put him captain too)

Yes. We got a lot of things to do for the coming 2 weeks! Keep an eye on the fantasy transfers condition, check the fixture list, view the player's form, come out with the best transfer choices. And I'm going to provide you with a few more tips in coming week to help improve your game.
