players are playing too many games, even solid players are getting injured

I have already saved 0.6m by wildcarding last night for GW6

:spin:

due to price rises

What's your squads worth?

I've made 2 subs for gameweek 6 at a cost of -4 points...team is looking much much stronger now.

My squad worth
Squad value
£101.1
In the bank
£0.5

A few wild cards played this week I see.:hehe:

:fist:

I had to change mine coz of Raya

I bet he plays now, he was at the hotel with the squad this morning

Yes, he plays. To further make a mockery of your wildcard for the sake of a goalie.:joker:

I did not wildcard for the sake of a goalie :laugh:

I changed goalie from my initial draught

⚽️ Most goal involvements in Europe's top 5 leagues this calendar year:

🥇 31 – Cole Palmer
🥈 27 – Harry Kane
🥉 24 – Robert Lewandowski, Erling Haaland, Alexander Sørloth

I think I've made a massive error

i had a mare of a game week :laugh:

James Justin (defender) scores 2 goals away from home

and gets zero bonus points

Another Haaland blank, great stuff. Slowly creeping up the table after an awful start.

I'm selling haaland and Salah..

Sick off it, sick of organising things around them. Multiple subs incoming after already using wildcard and free week wildcard.

Chelsea villa spurs attack.

Chelsea, liverpool, villa arsenal brentford midfield


Forrest arsenal liverpool Fulham utd defence

Chelsea forest goalie.




Please pm me this on thursday.

Made a sub, or 2 this week.

Loving these Haaland blanks. Was 200 points off the top a month ago, now only 47 off.

The manager currently ranked no.1 in the world has never owned Haaland,
hasn't used their Wildcard and still has Barco in their team

From gameweek 24 of the Fantasy Premier League season (1 February 2025), managers have the option to play the Assistant Manager chip.

It's new, might be a bit confusing and you need to plan ahead for it.

Don't panic! We're here to help you and have come up with five of the best options for activating the chip.

When you activate the chip, you bring a Premier League manager into your squad for three weeks and his team's results will earn FPL points for you.

How does the assistant manager score points?

His team wins = 6 points

His team draws = 3 points

His team scores a goal = 1 point per goal

His team keeps a clean sheet = 2 points

Table bonus = 10 extra points for a win, or five extra points for a draw, if the manager faces a club ranked at least five places higher in the table (at the start of the gameweek)

What will the assistant manager cost?

Prices have yet to be revealed but managers will cost between £0.5m and £1.5m and, importantly, that has to come out of your existing budget. So forward planning is needed.

Does the assistant manager count towards my quota of three players from any club?

Yes. Sorry.

What else do I need to know about the Assistant Manager chip?
There are three key things to consider when planning for the chip, aside from making sure you have some spare cash.

Playing other chips

Firstly, when the chip is active, you can't play any other chips. So think about when you might want to use Triple Captain and make sure you have a rough plan for using your wildcard.

Wildcarding in the weeks before you play the Assistant Manager chip could be a good plan.

Transferring managers

Secondly, playing the chip does not cost a transfer but you can change your assistant manager within the three-week period, which costs a transfer as if you were buying a player.

So that's a chance to get cute if you like and chase maximum upside with juicy fixtures.

Top managers have less upside

Because of the table bonus, it doesn't necessarily pay best to pick the manager of a title-chasing side.

Mikel Arteta, Arne Slot and Enzo Maresca have a best three-week score of 32 points or fewer this season. But Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola leads the way with a 47-point total, thanks to wins over Arsenal and Manchester City.

Of course, predicting those wins is the hard thing!

So do you play it safe or go for glory?

Its being called The Ass Man chip

seems like change for changes sake to me

You are lucky I'm concentrating on my works fantasy league( that's where the moneys at) or I would be miles ahead by now.

I will be top before February.
