I see what you're saying,but the wild cards should be for people that have performed,but not quite made it,not a chance to get the mates in or past heroes.
If certain people wanted to play,they would try and qualify on merit. Stevie G has done that all season and deserves it.
Imagine how each player would feel if they never made it.
Donald would probably be,ah well,I'll get it next time. Gallagher would be in bits and possibly never be the same again.
To me,that says who should be selected.
Just my opinion though.
