    1 FT and 2m ITB. Not a fan of hits but C allows me to attack the Brentford v Spurs fixture and sets me up to do Sarr > Bournemouth mid (Kluivert) next week

    A - Raul > Wissa
    B - Sarr > Mbeumo
    C - Gordon & Raul > Mbeumo & Wissa for -4

    Allison
    Gabriel - TAA - Munoz
    Salah - Palmer - Gordon - Sarr
    Isak - Wood - Raul

    Dubravka - Amad - Milenkovic - O'Shea

    Got 1 FT and already have triple Liv and double Eve. Would you roll that transfer or bring in Ndiaye for JPedro? Would mean benching Amad this week.

    Thanks.

    Has anyone seen a decent article on chips yet?!

    This is a constant bug-bear of mine and it only gets worse now with the AM chip.

    Let me explain using the Salah vs Slot example for this GW....

    Triple Captain: Note, Salah scores 10ppg currently.

    If Salah score 10+10 that is 20 PTS. Triple captain makes that 60pts.

    Total value of chip = 20 PTS

    Note, the value is not 60 or 40 as widely gets stated! This is because you would obviously captain him anyway meaning you gain the difference between captain points (40) and triple captain points (60).

    Also, this is the absolute value of the chip. The relative value of using the chip in a DGW (Vs SGW) is only 10 PTS. (As you gain an extra 20 PTS as opposed to 10)....based on 10ppg and assuming you would captain Salah anyway.

    Assistant Manager: Note, Slot scores 10 points per game (roughly) - quite helpfully the same as Salah

    AM is a little trickier than TC but essentially you gain 1/3 of the the expected Slot points by using it in a double gameweek (or technically speaking over a 4 game period as opposed to a 3 game period).

    Therefore, if Slot is expected to score 30 points over an average 3 games period and instead scores 40 points over a period that includes a DGW (ie 4 games in total) then the value of using it in a DGW is 10 PTS (40 - 30).

    In simple terms, using either chip in a DGW as opposed to a single gameweek will get you an extra game out of Salah/Slot and in both cases the expected relative value is 10pts.

    The question is then about who will deliver the 10ppg with greater certainty and who has the most upside / downside etc. Slot has a lower ceiling but arguably a higher floor and vice versa for Salah.

    Sorry for the rant but the article on the FPL website about this same subject is truly awful

      Fair enough but this is predicted on your starting assumptions for points which are speculative.

      You should really compare TC now to later and the same with other chips.

      At the end of the season it's total points that counts, not gw24 rank.

        Absolutely. Totally agree

        I appreciate I have oversimplified it by assuming 10ppg for each.

        Clearly I am not viewing the decision with that level of certainty but I wanted to make the point that TC is never worth 60 points in this example. That is the bit that kills me the most 😀

      Don't apologise, it doesn't come across as a rant at all. I found it helpful learning that the two chips are roughly of the same value.

        Same for me.

        I know I want to use TC on Salah, whereas I can't say the same for Slot (or Moyes)

        Easy decision TC (for me at least)

        Good luck mate

    Hi chaps

    Well…….think I’ve made a huge rookie error without even realising.
    Last night I brought Mbuemo in for Enzo for a hit.

    However, this now leaves me with 0.3ITB.
    Have every intention of playing AM this GW with Moyes (then switching to Iraola).
    Moyes costs 0.5, so does this now mean I can’t afford him?

    Think I’m gonna have to take a -12 now, my god, feel like such a clown!

    For reference, team now is:

    Sels
    Gabriel - TAA - Aina
    Gordon - Salah - Palmer - Mbuemo
    Wissa - Gakpo - Isak

        Indeed I am, what a pain! I should have removed Gordon to raise the funds.
        I think I’m still gonna play it though, hopefully it can offset the hit damage slightly.

          You're gambling on a draw or better against Liverpool

          I'd rather play into Bournemouth or Brentford or Fulham or even Man United later in the season with some table bonus points available.

          Also there may be a bit of learning from others playing the chip first.

            This is true, I shall have to mull this over. I know for a fact my rival behind me in 2nd will likely play his AM chip as he played TC last GW

        You'd also have to do two transfers next to get Iraola and also free up another £0.6m.

        Unless you left £1.1m banked in this week's hit.

              It’s a worthy move imo if deciding to go a week early, not like Fulham will be pushovers anyway hehe. I think the AssMan chip is better than TC this GW 🙂

    Hi.. Need some help!

    Sels (Fab)
    TAA Hall Huijsen (Timber, Faes)
    Salah Palmer Rogers Mbeumo Gordon
    Wood Isak (DCL)

    2FTs

    What is the best choice this week since I have only 2 Pool and 0 Everton players now with DCL potentially ruled out?

    (A) Diaz and Myko for Gordon & Faes
    (B) Gakpo n Kluivert for Gordon & DCL
    (C) Myko and Ndiaye for Faes & DCL
    (D) Pickford & Ndiaye for Sels & DCL

    Tempted with Option A instead of Option B since it gives me 3 Pool & 1 Everton player n oso one more week to see which Bournemouth midfielder is the better purchase but not sure if it is the right call.

      I have and will possibly move to Silva/Iraola.. Silva puts off a little due to last night, but 6 points for a table bonus draw and 10 for a win is tempting.. Otherwise I think a safe bet is Bournemouth vs Sot/Wolves 25/26

      C I think. Actually don't mind hanging onto RAN as he could be useful in 29 (sou). If you can get Mbeumo without sacrificing Gordon I think that's better. Would ideally prefer Pickford to Myko but it's a better compromise than A/B imo & Sels is fine

    I’ve been on triple Liverpool of Allison, Trent & Salah for a while.

    4FT

    Would you use a couple of transfers to do Allison and Jackson to Pickford and Gakpo, or stick with my Liverpool triple up?

    If I stuck I would use 2FTs on Gordon to Mbuemo and Greaves to Tarkowski (to bench Gabriel) and roll the other 2FT over

    Allison

    Trent / Hall / Gabriel

    Salah / Palmer / Gordon / Amad

    Isak / Jackson / Wood

    Bench: Rogers / Greaves / Castagne

    Guys, I need some advice. I have all my chips in tact and I head my ML...........However I am not convinced that TC on Salah this week has it optimal high side as both Bournemouth and Everton away are not as simple as it would have been a few weks ago......however I know my rivals will play their TC...........I have a slender lead, but feel that there will be better opertunities further down the road........what would you do and please dont say its up to me or play your own game, I understand both those points, I am seeking an opinion.......Thank you.

      I feel the same about TC this week so I'm just going to hold it. Pretty confident Pool will overturn the 1-0 v Spurs, which should give them a DGW33 of lei avl - and that looks a lot more appealing to me. Still some backup options (36) if that doesn't materialise

      I believe if you C him it’s not a huge loss if you don’t TC.. But maybe surely if your leading you just play it, his EO will be ridiculously high so maybe you might be better off further down the line.. I have no TC but am using Manager chip for the next 3 weeks..

      I think that it would be very naive not to be play something this week.

      There is a 3 week AM, a WC, TC, FH and BB. That is seven weeks of no other chips, so is a DGW with Liverpool and Salah not in the top 7?

      There are a lot of drawbacks to any of them but not to not doing one. I have been intent on TC all season, whilst Salah is fit and in form, but then I don't see Liverpool winning both, or maybe 1-2s at best. I may go for AM just to get rid of it, not be hindered for a three week period and if Liverpool do not win, I will be happy with that outside of FPL.

      I'm going for TC on Salah this GW. The reds will always be up for the derby and also I found this on LFC's website:

      " Mohamed Salah has scored seven Premier League goals against Everton – only Steven Gerrard (nine) has netted more in the Merseyside derby in the competition".

      Plus, the Bournemouth game could be a very open, attacking affair with tons of chances.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    One argument against TC Salah would be the increased risk of injury before that Everton game with 11 days and 2 fixtures (almost certainly plays 1 of them) between the GW24 matches. Its still not that likely but you'd be a lot happier from that point of view if they were back to back a 3-4 days apart.

    Just my 2 cents.....hard not to play TC chip this GW. Salah has approx 30% more points than anyone else in the game. Two away games is not ideal but vs bou,eve not the worst road games i suppose. No guarantees that Salah will have another DGW going forward.
