Chips

Available: Bench Boost (GW1–19) · Triple Captain (GW1–19) · Wildcard (GW2–19) · Free Hit (GW2–19)

⏳ Bench Boost (set 1) EXPIRES after GW19 — and no DGW is expected before then. Don't hoard it: spend it on the best ordinary week in the window (last season's champion used TC in GW6 and BB in GW10).

⏳ Triple Captain (set 1) EXPIRES after GW19 — and no DGW is expected before then. Don't hoard it: spend it on the best ordinary week in the window (last season's champion used TC in GW6 and BB in GW10).

⏳ Wildcard (set 1) EXPIRES after GW19 — and no DGW is expected before then. Don't hoard it: spend it on the best ordinary week in the window (last season's champion used TC in GW6 and BB in GW10).

⏳ Free Hit (set 1) EXPIRES after GW19 — and no DGW is expected before then. Don't hoard it: spend it on the best ordinary week in the window (last season's champion used TC in GW6 and BB in GW10).

No double or blank gameweeks detected yet — they usually appear mid-season when cup fixtures force postponements. Second-set chips keep for the DGW/BGW cluster; first-set chips must be spent inside their window (see above).

🪑 No DGW in the horizon: elites aim the Bench Boost at the best bench-fixture week instead of hoarding it. Yours is GW9 — the current bench projects 12.9 pts there. To build that bench, Wildcard in GW8 (chips can't share a gameweek) — the pattern a five-time top-1k finisher is running this season. Price the exit cost first: one-week bench picks have to be unwound afterwards.

Wildcard: best used on a fixture swing or when 4+ transfers are needed; compare your squad against the Ideal XV page — a gap over ~25 projected points is a strong signal.

Champion pattern: chips cluster in the season's second half around the DGW/BGW block — e.g. the 2025/26 winner went Wildcard GW32 → Bench Boost DGW33 → Free Hit BGW34 → Triple Captain DGW36. Patience beats early chip burns.

How this works

Hits are −4 per transfer beyond free ones. ✕ dismisses a suggested player and re-plans. Price score is FPL's own progress toward the next change (1.0 = 100%, it moves at the ~00:00 UK daily update); "Changes" is FPL's projected day. Digests land on Telegram 24h and 2h before each deadline.
