Transfers are scarce for the next 3 rounds, so the wildcard objective values multi-round longevity (players who keep starting and progress), not just this round.

round underway — locked

This round has kicked off, so transfers are locked. The plan for the next round generates automatically the moment its bracket is final.

Free transfers per the official allocation; extras cost -3 points each and are only recommended when the projected gain beats the hit. Eliminated players are forced out first; locked players are always kept and the plan builds around them.

Captaincy · lock or roll
armband running: 28 pts (×2)
LOCK · Kylian Mbappé
Kylian Mbappé scored 14.0 — higher than any remaining option's projection. Keep the armband; don't roll.
Safe
Kylian Mbappé
14.8 projected with 90% to play 60+ — the floor play.
Upside
Ousmane Dembélé
Ceiling 26.0 with 79% haul odds — the mini-league swing.
Differential
Rubén Vargas
Only 2.8% owned with ceiling 18.0 — a rank rocket if it lands.

Captain a strong early option; if it blanks, move the armband to the best score still to come. Refreshes every minute.
