FPL assistant manager chip explained: Points scored, transfers used, strategy and when to use it A bombshell is potentially about to hit Fantasy Premier League this coming gameweek, with the introduction of the FPL assistant manager chip.
As far as I see it, there are two other potential routes to go down, with Chelsea facing Leicester City and Southampton in consecutive gameweeks, which should guarantee goals, or you could take a big swing on bonus points as Everton face Nottingham Forest, Man City and Chelsea in three gameweeks, but the safe option is a Slot double gameweek.
Depending on results, I'm then looking to switch to Enzo Maresca: Chelsea face two inviting home fixtures in Southampton (GW27) and Leicester (GW28) and could wrack up some serious FPL points, so it makes sense to back Maresca for two extremely winnable games.
Yet the assistant manager chip could become the best option for GW24 - it’s an extra game for Liverpool to score in, and you don't run the same risk of rotation, what with there being two cup matches between their two Premier League games.
With the ability to use transfers to change your manager for the three gameweeks the chip is active, it could potentially see FPL players banking huge points, and could be a gamechanger in your mini-leagues.
