WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU HIT ACTIVATE
Before you get carried away on a wave of newchipitis, a few things to consider:
- The Assistant Manager chip is for a three-Gameweek stretch, although you don’t have to have the same manager for all three Gameweeks.
- You can’t cancel the chip once you activate.
- Your first manager selection is free but any changes to the manager – even within the same Gameweek – will cost you a transfer.
- Managers are part of the three-man limit from each club.
- You will need between £0.5m and £1.5m in your bank to afford a manager.
HOW TO ACTIVATE THE ASSISTANT MANAGER CHIP
There are two ways to activate the Assistant Manager chip: by clicking ‘Play’ in the ‘Pick Team’ tab or the ‘Transfers’ tab.
Both methods are highlighted in the below graphics.

HOW TO SELECT A MANAGER
In the ‘Transfers’ tab, select the ‘Managers’ option from the ‘Player Selection’ drop down menu (highlighted below) and take your pick!
Here you can also view the stats for each head coach, from wins, losses and draws to table bonus, clean sheets and goals scored.

WHERE CAN I SEE WHICH MANAGER I’VE SELECTED?
In the ‘Pick Team‘ tab, you’ll be able to see your team for the upcoming Gameweek as normal.
Towards the bottom, to the left of the substitutes, you’ll also be able to see which manager you’ve selected – providing the chip is active and you’ve gone through the above steps correctly.
