FPL Chips

There are 4 chips to be used throughout this season of the fantasy premier league. Most of them can only be used once over the course of the season with the exception of a wildcard that you get an extra one during the January transfer window. These chips are:

• Free Hit - Unlimited transfers for one week and your team reverts back to what it was when the week ends. This is useful to capitalise on a double game week or a week when several top teams don't play that looks to mess up your week
• Wildcard - The wildcard has been a staple of the FPL for many years - it allows unlimited transfers for one week but unlike the free hit you get to keep them. Handy during the season if you have several injuries or have multiple players out of form.
• Bench Boost - The bench boost adds the score of your bench to your team score for that week. Best to be used in a week when your whole squad have good fixtures and you can\t decide who your starting 11 should be.
• Triple Captain - Pretty self-explanatory, usually your team captain receives double points for that gameweek but with this you receive triple points for one week only. To be used when you're very confident in your captain that week due to good form, a good fixture or better yet a double gameweek.
