Chip Status

⚠️ Only Wildcard 2 remaining

Free Hit (GW11) Triple Captain (GW13) Wildcard 1 (GW14) Bench Boost (GW18) ✓ Wildcard 2 Available

Critical decision: BGW31 hits 4 starters (Semenyo, Haaland, Gabriel, Rice). With no Free Hit, the only chip escape is to activate Wildcard 2 before the GW31 deadline — or hold it and absorb the blank. See Transfer Strategy for the decision framework.

Key Issues

GK crisis — URGENT: Roefs (SUN) is marked as a doubt. Backup Wright (AVL) has 0 points and 0.0 form — he has barely played. If Roefs misses GW30, Wright is an unreliable replacement. Must be resolved before deadline.

Zero bank — no flexibility: £0.0m ITB means every trade requires selling a player first. Careful sequencing is essential — sell the weaker asset to fund the upgrade.

GW31 wipe — no Free Hit escape: Semenyo, Haaland (MCI) and Gabriel, Rice, Saliba (ARS) all blank. That's 5 starters + 1 bench player. Free Hit has already been used (GW11). The only chip option is Wildcard 2 — use it before GW31 for a blank-resistant rebuild, or hold it for GW32. See Transfer Strategy for the decision.

Rogers (F:1.8) and Kroupi Jr (F:1.5): Both have poor recent form and need replacing. Rogers at £7.5m is expensive for a player delivering so little.

Strengths: João Pedro (9.5), Semenyo (8.2), B.Fernandes (6.2) form a formidable core. Hill (6.2) and O'Reilly (9.0) on bench add depth. Haaland (195 TP) is the season's top scorer — hold.

GW30 Captaincy

Captain: Semenyo (MCI) — Form 8.2, WHU away (FDR 2). Best form + best fixture combination available. Correct captain call.

Vice: B.Fernandes (MUN) — Form 6.2, AVL at home (FDR 3). Solid fallback with penalty and set piece involvement.
