I ran the chip optimizer across 7,124 real FPL squads this week. Every valid Wildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost, and Triple Captain combination tested. Every gameweek scored.

GW32 is the Wildcard week. 81.1% of squads agree. Here's what the data says you should do right now.

Median uplift from optimal chip timing across 7,124 squads

This is the most common optimal chip sequence across squads with all chips remaining. WC32 + BB33 + FH34 + TC36. The data from over 7,000 real FPL teams is clear.

GW32: why Wildcard is the move

Wildcard: optimal gameweek distribution

GW32
81.1%
GW33
7.5%
GW35
7.2%
GW34
3.9%

81.1% of squads with a Wildcard have GW32 as optimal. Three things line up: GW33 is a double gameweek, Wildcarding now gives you a full week to rebuild around doublers, and Bench Boost follows immediately.

81.1% from 7,124 squads. I tested every other Wildcard timing and GW32 wins for four out of five teams. The double is next week. Build for it now.

Bench Boost: GW33 leads but it's closer than you think

28.2%
GW36
14.4%
GW37
3%

BB33 at 52.0% is the top choice but GW35 at 28.2% is a real alternative. Your bench composition matters here. If your bench isn't loaded with GW33 doublers, a later DGW might be stronger for you.

Free Hit and Triple Captain

Free Hit: optimal gameweek distribution

GW34
68.8%
GW33
30.2%
GW36
0.8%

FH34 at 68.8%. It's a blank gameweek. Half your squad might not have a fixture. Don't waste your FH on the double when you already have doublers from WC32.

Triple Captain: optimal gameweek distribution

GW36
52.6%
GW33
46.4%

TC is nearly a coin flip. GW36 at 52.6% barely edges GW33 at 46.4%. This one genuinely depends on your squad.

Should you Wildcard in GW32?

Copilot verdictPLAY IT

81.1% of 7,124 squads agree. The double is next week. Wildcard now, load up on doublers, then decide BB33 or BB35 based on your bench. This is the combo that wins the run-in.

  • Play WC32 if: you have 3+ players without GW33 fixtures
  • Play WC32 if: you still have Bench Boost and want the WC32+BB33 combo
  • Play WC32 if: your squad needs a restructure for the final GWs
  • Skip WC32 if: you already have 8+ doublers and a strong bench
