UCL Fantasy Limitless Wildcard - What is it?

The Limitless Wildcard is a Wildcard but with an unlimited budget. Any changes made only apply to one Matchday. It is a booster (chip) only used in Champions League fantasy football.

What is Difference Between Wildcard and Limitless?

The biggest difference between a Wildcard and the Limitless Wildcard is the Limitless gives you an unlimited budget. Unlike a traditional Wildcard the changes you make will only apply to one Matchday. After that your team will revert back to what it was before using it. It is similar to the Free Hit chip found in Fantasy Premier League without the budget constraints. In addition to infinite funds, the Limitless has the following advantages as well:
  • There are more premium players in UCL Fantasy
  • You can utilize all 15 players throughout the Matchday

Best Limitless Wildcard Strategy

For specific strategy on when to use your 2021/22 Limitless in the UCL Fantasy game visit the below link: With any booster, the strategy should be to use it when it will maximise points. The Limitless Wildcard is no different. Points will be maximised when the biggest teams - Man City, Bayern Munich, PSG, etc - all have easy fixtures. Therefore, it is almost certainly best to use it during the group stage. You can use our Champions League Fixture Difficulty page to determine the time to use it each season. Another reason to use the Limitless Wildcard in the group stage is we know all the fixtures in advance, unlike the knockout stages. We discuss specific strategy for each season which naturally changes every year with different fixtures. This can be found in our Champions League fantasy section.

What About the Traditional Wildcard?

The Limitless Wildcard applies for one Matchday only. Conversely, the Wildcard is used to set up your team over several Matchdays. As a result, ideally, you should have a rough, if not exact plan, when you are using both. That way you can build a team for specific Matchdays knowing one of them you'll be using the Limitless. Many would argue it would better to use the standard Wildcard after the Limitless. This is because there are less Matchdays to account for and consequently there are less factors involved. Additionally, Champions League team lineups are more predictable in the earlier stages as all teams are trying to get as many points as early as possible. This is especially true with the bigger teams which you want to target for the Limitless, and the traditional Wildcard.
