    Does anyone really care about the asst mgr chip?

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 29 days ago

      I guess it's only for people who like points.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Yes. It is the highest upside chip in the game.

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        +1

    3. Mighty Duck
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 29 days ago

      If your rival will get +50 in a GW one day, then probably yeah.

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        It spans 3 gameeeks right?

        1. Mighty Duck
          • 1 Year
          10 months, 29 days ago

          Yup

      2. Mighty Duck
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 29 days ago

        I mixed up tho. You're gonna get 50 pts spreading over 3 GW's in most of cases. Tho technically you may get 50 in one week if the team wins 30-0.

      it ruined the season, but since we already committed to playing, I guess we have to care?

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        How does opportunity to get more points ruin the season?

          Adding stuff into the game mid-season is a bad idea

          They did it a few seasons ago adding a free-hit in the middle of the season and this is the same

          It should have been in at the beginning

          1. Qaiss
            • 9 Years
            10 months, 29 days ago

            In at the beginning or not at all

            1. The Mentaculus
              • 4 Years
              10 months, 29 days ago

              I guess the justification would be that the underdog bonus doesn't really work from the beginning. But I can easily imagine they just weren't ready

              1. Qaiss
                • 9 Years
                10 months, 29 days ago

                Yeah they didn’t know what it was gonna be for sure

          2. Zidane's Floor
            • 3 Years
            10 months, 29 days ago

            What could you possibly do pre season to prepare?

            It’s a chip so likely used in the 2nd half of the season to navigate doubles and blanks anyway

            1. NJ MetroStars
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              10 months, 29 days ago

              used the triple captain early

          3. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            10 months, 29 days ago

            If it was at the beginning, everyone would have just chosen someone like Pep, Slot, Ange Ten Hag because they start the season mid-table or lower. Think Pep would have got like 20 points from the first GW alone.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          adding random rule changes mid-season with the potential to massively swing standings based on total nonsense

          1. Zidane's Floor
            • 3 Years
            10 months, 29 days ago

            Stop playing the game then

      2. Tango74
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        Why it ruined season , you could gain +40pts on a rival or be in top 100k in no a day

        Less chance of that just with a normal GW

    5. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Not sure yet if I really like it aside from presenting an opportunity to take some risks & try to catch up in some MLs, but I'm not going to just throw it away as an afterthought

    6. Studs Up

      do you?

    7. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      I do, I'm ranked terribly, it could potentially save my season! It's better than everyone capping Salah every week.

    8. Wheato182
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      I'm not a fan of it at all and hope its binned next season, that being said its in the game and can possibly generate a big swing in points so I'll reluctantly be trying to use it as best as I can.

    Weekends without the PL absolutely suck

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 29 days ago

      It depends. International breaks are terrible, but FA Cup is fine.

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        Only real game in the cup is Arsenal vs United

        1. Captain Mal
          • 1 Year
          10 months, 29 days ago

          Nah, many interesting games. Villa vs West Ham or Boro vs Blackburn should be good, not to mention there's always an upset lurking.

          1. Zidane's Floor
            • 3 Years

            I guess I just don’t care about football unless it’s FPL anymore

              You sum up the problem with our great game, premiersh*t or nothing. Most 'Proper' (which I doubt you are) fans who actually go to matches would love to have 1. No VAR / 2. No Greed of players/ticket prices / 3. No Monday night or Sunday 6pm games etc....etc.....etc..... The list goes on and on.

      FA cup usually has some cracking games. Plus it's only a wait till Tuesday

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 28 days ago

        Appreciate the way you put this nicely unlike the clown that got butt hurt above

        I think I’ve just fallen out of love with football now, mainly because on the offsides and VAR, and mainly because of the play style.

        Most teams play out the back now and most are not equipped to do so

        This leads to teams giving silly goals up, essentially free goals to their opponents

        It doesn’t seem like a competitive game when one team is using an inferior play style for them

        Plus, passing sideways at the halfway line is dead boring

        1. Zidane's Floor
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 28 days ago

          That’s just me though

          Hope everyone enjoys their games if they still watch

    Anyone else using the AM chip at the end of the season when relegation managers are battling it out?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Probably. Even aside from that & beach slumps, it should offer the widest selection of doubles to choose from. You can already (I think?) anticipate some of the possibilities by adding GW33 fixtures to 36. Wolves v mun BHA. The promoted sides might be a bit of a stretch though with Ipswich v ARS BRE (33), Leicester v LIV nfo, Southampton v MCI whu

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        * Wolves is the one that caught my eye, especially if the bonus is in play for both games

        1. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          Plus there are only really Cunha and Ait-Nouri (never again) as worthwhile Wolves players, so you're not wasting a third player slot

      2. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        This

        Plus the fact that teams and managers MUST win for the title/CL/relegation and they’ll play mid table teams with nothing to play for

        Plus using it at the end of the season means you don’t have to worry about using transfers to re-utilise the money in the bank or regain a triple up

        Even the Ipswich fixtures, if they MUST win to avoid the drop, they could pull a few results out the bag and the AM chip would net a huge score

      3. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        Oh hang on it's 34 that would be the blank, not 33...
        Recalculate!

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years

      BB36 stop me using it then. Prefer a guaranteed win anyhow.

    3. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Just gonna assess the table week by week, form changes so much.

    4. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Possibly but might bench boost in gw36 instead.

      I'm considering using my bench boost super early, like gw24, and get it "out of the way". I have 2FTs I am going to roll over this week and have haaland in my team, so can use the transfers plus spare cash to build a good 15 player squad, then focus transfers thereafter on the first 11.

      It always feels like a waste of cash to have a good bench for a very late bench boost.

    5. beerhockeyrock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 28 days ago

      99% certain, probably Wolves
      But my main mini league rival blew his TC on Haaland early, so I'm assuming hes going to use it on Slot 24-26 with the double GW and I'm TC on Salah. Will reassess when that dust settles

    Where is Sigurdsson these days?

    1. Paddyburns

    2. Dubem_FC

      Junior Stanislas, that's the one that came to my mind today.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

      Nice team, I’m not too fussed on fernandes though, think Amad could cover him leaving cash for elsewhere.

    Sorry lads but been mulling this for a few days..can someone convince me this is a good idea?

    Foden (bre, ips, CHE) to Bruno (SOT, BHA, ful)

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years

      No

      Sideways move

    2. Funkyav
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      I would make this move. Bruno is the player i fear most this week

    3. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Yes imo

  9. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 29 days ago

    AM Chip:

    26: Pep v LFC if they’re 5 places behind still
    27-28: Maresca v SOU LEI for loads of goal points.

    1. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Neither because the fixtures around them are bad and it’s for 3 GW’s

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        You can transfer the manager from one to another.

        1. Qaiss
          • 9 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          I did not know that. Interesting

    2. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Another solid suggestion. TC owners will probably not be going 24/25/26

      1. Zladan
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        I will TC 24, then AM as above. Pep might just be someone else if I don’t fancy their chances or if they’re within 5 places.

        Lots focusing on hopeful wins against teams 5+ places above, but there is value in going for banker wins where many goals are scored.

        1. _Greg
          • 15 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          pretty certain DGW25

          1. Zladan
            • 8 Years
            10 months, 29 days ago

            Is it 25 now?

            Then that’s when I’ll do it. Only difference between 24 v 25 is if I bother with any more Everton or not. 25 isn’t as appealing, so just Pickford will do for me. Although JPedro to Ndiaye has legs if JP is out.

            1. _Greg
              • 15 Years
              10 months, 29 days ago

              it's 65% 25 35% 24

    1. Zladan

      Bruno. I’m captaining him

      1. Make FPL Casual Again

        Since gw11, Amad has 7.71 pps, excl. redcard game and 2nd string game vs NEW...

        Bruno has 7.25 pps

        Amad 2 double digit hauls, Bruno 1

        Amad now playing in front 3

    3. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      United will not score more than two goals in the game

  11. Zidane's Floor

    10 months, 29 days ago

    The best ever chip strategy revealed by el chippy chips:

    TC Salah in GW24/25

    Navigate the small blank GW29 and build for a bench boost GW33 with FTs (9gw run way so plenty of time)

    Bench boost GW33

    Free hit the big blank GW34

    Wildcard GW35 to fix team for rest of the season and prep for AM

    AM GW36

    You’re welcome

      Content creators get paid a lot of money for this

      But me, an idiot on a forum, has destroyed them with ease

    2. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Urgh, "building up" to a bench boost team. I've done that every year for about a decade and ignored decent players for weeks on end because they don't have a double gameweek.

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        This year is different because you can accumulate 5 FTs and use them all the week before the BB

        Then WC out of it after that

        Therefore, you get the decent players, and get a strong BB

        1. Sharkytect
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          Good point, although this will probably therefore entail ignoring decent players for weeks on end whilst I build up FTs!

          1. Zidane's Floor
            • 3 Years
            10 months, 29 days ago

            Good point, although I posted this a few days ago

            "In FPL, activity does not correlate with achievement. Indeed, frenetic behaviour is often counterproductive."

            I always seem to do much better when I don't make transfers

      2. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 29 days ago

        Do you see any other pitfalls with this strategy?

        Also, what is your BB strategy?

        1. Sharkytect
          • 11 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          It's not a bad strategy but it's not the ONLY one. If you fix into a strategy like this now you may miss better opportunities to use the assistant manager chip.

          I currently have 2FTs to roll over so I may be in a good position to, say, play the assistant manager chip on Moyes in gw24, if Everton has a double gameweek. I can afford the free transfer and I will be selling haaland so will have cash to splash on 2x Liverpool players and one extra Everton player - whoever comes to the fore in moyes' first few gameweeks.

          I could instead bench boost in gw24 (spread my haaland cash across 3 cheapest players) and then use FTs over forthcoming weeks to focus funds on starting 11, instead of wasting cash on the bank for the latter part of the season.

            True, have to adapt to what’s in front of you

            I guess I could play the AM earlier and the overall strategy stays in tact

            Surprised you still have Haaland

            Did you move to him recently or did you hold all this time?

              I actually didn't have him at all and saved my wildcard til gw18, brought him in then. That's allowed me to save FTs

    If Newcastle make it to the FAC semi-final and Ipswich don't get relegated till the last GW, then McKenna (0.5) is a sweet pie in 36-38, I think. BRE(h), NEW(a), LEI(a), WHU(h).

    I hate when people ask this sort of question but I'm going to ask it...

    I have read all the info regarding this chip but it confuses me.

    We pick 1 assistant manager and for three gws they provide points based on the results of their team? Can we transfer the manager within those 3 gws using free transfers/hits?

    Can someone who knows all the ins and outs offer a basic overview of the T&Cs

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Yes you can change the manager during the 3 weeks?

      And yes the results contribute to points scored

      Here is all you need to know

    Means you have to use your brain and not be a zombie that gets in Slot or Arteta

      But brainless zombies hate the chip because it means they have to think for once and not copy their favourite YouTuber’s team

      Slot in the DGW could still be quite lucrative if you don't have TC left

      10 months, 28 days ago

      I quite like the idea of the chip and will reserve judgement until the end of the season and we can reflect on how its inclusion went. I don’t see why people are getting their knickers in a twist over this.

    Bruno and Gordon or Palmer and Murphy? Murphy good but it's that 65-85 mins every week against Gordon 90 and bigger goal threat.

    Chelsea have gone a bit off the boil recently.

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 29 days ago

      Palmer is essential ownership, you will not make up the points potential at that value price

      I would go Amad over Murphy or find extra for a better midfielder

      That's my input

    So allegedly Siggy was the Everton first team player under investigation for offences related to minors

    Then he was put on a travel ban and had to move and play in Iceland

    In 2023, the police said no further action will be taken and charges were dropped

    Siggy's lawyer said they won't sue

    None of this makes sense, they ruined his career and tarnished his name, but they won't seek legal retribution?

    Disclaimer: this is all an act, I don't know if anything I said is true, I am playing a character

    1. Dubem_FC

      Yes, was Siggy. After Everton let Klassen go, this happened.

          Victim refused to cooperate, not enough evidence, police are inept? Try Googling it?

            10 months, 29 days ago

            It's a tough position for a victim, but cannot believe a real victim would refuse to co-operate with authorities to bring justice

            He's innocent, you cannot say "police are inept" just because the verdict doesn't match what you wanted

            Unless, you're saying you don't agree with the justice system in the country you live?

              Greenwood’s girlfriend refused to cooperate - do you think he’s innocent?

                The great legal system says “Innocent until proven guilty”

                This countries morality is the best ever, infallible, cannot be questioned

    Amorim seems the best choice, given his price & United's position in the league table.

      If I was playing it early he'd be a top choice

      I actually kind of agree with this. If United can get their act together (big if, IMHO), the bonus could be mouth watering.

    Can tell FPL Towers really don’t understand their userbase with this AM chip, considering a large number who play every year still haven’t worked out how the Free Hit chip works.

        Well it is if the game becomes too complicated and turns off the casuals, which make up a massive proportion of their audience.

        1. Zidane's Floor
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 29 days ago

          Oh no! Not the casuals

          In all seriousness, yes as a business they need casuals

          However, people will learn, people have learned a lot more complex games like Fortnite

          I think they are testing managers in FPL, and if they can pull it off, make it a season-long thing

    Think I'll bench Wood again this week, and swap Bruno in for Diaz for a hit, and maybe even Captain him.

    Henderson
    TAA, Hall, Muñoz
    Salah, Palmer, Bruno, Mbeumo, Gordon
    Isak, Raul

    Sels, Wood, Robinson, Castagne

    Gonna bench boost GW22.
    WDYT?

    1. Zidane's Floor

      Why BB22 and not in a double?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        10 months, 28 days ago

        All players have good fixtures next GW, except Mbeumo against Liverpool. And I will feel happy to be done with that chip.. sort of regret not using it GW1 which was my initial plan.

  23. Tommy Template

    A couple of thoughts on assman/strategy. The leagues very tight, lots to play for. If that continues deep into the second half of the season it creates opportunity in that teams 5 places apart or whatever the bonus is might not be that far apart in reality, 'upsets' more likely. But it creates problems in planning too as one win shoots a team up several places. It also would mean this much heralded target teams on the beach may not materialise or if it does it'll be a very small set of teams very late on.

    I'm interested to see which way the CC's and articles on places like this go with it. There's a place for expected this and that in the main part of the game but ultimately this 3 or 4 gw chip is gambling in the purest form. Do I think Team X can beat Team Y. Simple as that.

    After getting very frustrated recently with real managers not advising about team selection or injuries, this new chip really puts the kibosh on the game fir me. It is an awful idea to bring in and I for one are very unhappy about it and will certainly not be playing at all next season.
