4. Chip Strategy

Free Hit — no BGW identified yet. Hold.

Bench Boost → DGW TBC (WAIT)

No double gameweek is confirmed yet in the fixture schedule. Hold BB until announced.
Continue prepping the bench — upgrade dead-weight players to form assets so BB is ready to fire.

Chip Summary

Bottom Line — GW2

Before Deadline

Captain Raya (form 6.0 · AVL(A)). Roll the FT — no urgent moves.
