Knowing the ideal time to use your Wildcard Chip in this year’s Euros fantasy could play a pivotal role in your season’s success.
The Wildcard Chip allows you to change your squad with upcoming matchdays in mind. Playing it grants you unlimited free transfers within budget, and any players you transfer in will remain in your squad once that matchday ends.
The normal rules for automatic subs, manual subs, and captain changes still apply when your Wildcard is active, as well as formation constraints and the number of players you can pick from one team.
The Wildcard in Euros fantasy functions the same way as the Wildcard in FPL. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind when playing your Wildcard in this year’s Euros fantasy game:
- Consider Fixtures: Look at the fixtures of the teams you’re targeting.
- Form Players: Select players who are in good form.
- Guaranteed Starters: Choose players who are guaranteed starters.
- Injuries and Suspensions: Activate your Wildcard if your team is filled with injured, suspended, or out-of-form players.
- Fielding a Full Team: If you struggle to field a team of 11 players due to players being knocked out of the competition, feel free to activate your Wildcard.
Ideal Timing for Using the Wildcard Chip In Euros Fantasy 2024
The ideal time to use the Wildcard Chip depends on each manager and the state of their team. If you have players who are out of form, injured, or suspended, then it’s a good time to activate your Wildcard.
If you’re not satisfied with the state of your team or struggle to field eleven players, activating your Wildcard can be a smart move.
From a strategic perspective, using the Wildcard after the round of 16 or the quarter-finals is a good strategy. During these rounds, many players and teams are eliminated. Holding onto your Wildcard during the knockout rounds can help you navigate these rounds effectively and gain maximum points.
Using the Wildcard during the group stages might not be ideal, as it would be more beneficial to use the Limitless Chip then. You can check out our article: “Euros 2024 Fantasy Chip Strategy: The Limitless Chips – When to Use It” to find out why.

The timing of using your Wildcard Chip is crucial and varies based on the state of your team. Whether you need to address injuries, form issues, or difficulty in fielding a full team, activating the Wildcard can provide the reset your squad needs.
Strategically, using the Wildcard after the round of 16 or quarter-finals can give you an edge as many teams get eliminated and you navigate the knockout rounds.
