Chip Suggestions

  • Triple Captain: probably worth saving for a stronger double gameweek or better fixture swing.
  • Bench Boost: bench looks relatively weak; consider saving the chip.
  • No obvious Free Hit signal from defence; evaluate upcoming blank/double gameweeks before using it.

Potential Transfer Targets

Players with higher adjusted expected points than your weakest starters, same position and roughly affordable.
