Differential (TSB <15%): De Cuyper (BHA) · Form 17.0 · CHE(A) FDR4 · 7.9% TSB. Low ownership means rank gain potential if he hauls.

7. Risk Flags

No major risk flags. Squad is clean.

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.

Bottom Line — GW2
