The wildcard squad the market implies

For chip weeks — wildcard or free hit — when you rebuild the lot and the one-gameweek answer is the right answer. Fifteen players, the real rules: your budget, at most three per club, a legal formation, and the starting eleven is what gets maximised. The bench is deliberately cheap: value belongs with players who play.

Preview: last season’s final-day fixtures and squads, until FPL relaunches for 2026/27.

This is the squad this week’s prices imply — a snapshot for a chip week, not a season plan, because the engine deliberately sees one gameweek and no further. Availability comes from FPL’s flags; minutes and shares from history, the soft part. Exact optimisation, honest inputs. How the builder works.
