After unlimited transfers.  Another 20 transfers will then be made available for you to use during the knockout stage of the tournament.

Why you need to be aware of the potential winners of the round of 16

If you have a wildcard left for the McDonalds transfers then you have a little more latitude but otherwise you need to think carefully about using a transfer for a player that maybe knocked out of the tournament given that transfers are limited.  The McDonalds format at least has a sub option to give a bit more flexibility

Remember there are 16 games to go.
