Differential (TSB <15%): Gibbs-White (NFO) · Form 6.0 · AVL(A) FDR4 · 9.4% TSB. Low ownership means rank gain potential if he hauls.

7. Risk Flags

Senesi (TOT) — form 1.0 (dangerously low)
Currently in starting XI with sub-2.0 form. Rotation / form collapse risk.

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

ChipTarget GWRationale
Bench BoostDGW TBCAll 15 players score — maximise in a DGW
WildcardTBDFull squad rebuild — use when 4+ players need replacing
Free HitBGW TBCReplace entire squad for 1 GW to dodge blanks

Bottom Line — GW4

Before Deadline

Captain Cherki (form 8.3 · MUN(A)). Roll the FT — no urgent moves.

Chip Roadmap

Monitor fixture calendar — hold chips until DGW/BGW confirmed.
