FPL experts reveal when they plan to use their chips

Some of the world's best managers explain their current chip strategies for the final seven Gameweeks Using your chips effectively can make all the difference over the final seven Gameweeks of Fantasy Premier League, so it's important to plan ahead.For example, AFC Bournemouth, Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley, Chelsea, Leeds United and Manchester City all have TWO fixtures in Double Gameweek 33 (DGW33). But those six clubs will then all be WITHOUT a fixture in Blank Gameweek 34 (BGW34), due to the FA Cup semi-finals taking place on the same weekend, with players from those six sides scoring zero points. To help managers with their planning, The Scout's panel of FPL experts each reveal when they plan to use their remaining chips over the rest of the season. Expert 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 Lateriser WC(?)

WC = Wildcard, FH = Free Hit, BB = Bench Boost, TC = Triple CaptainScroll across on mobile to see the full table Pranil Sheth (@Lateriser12) I have my Wildcard, Bench Boost, Free Hit and Triple Captain chips left to play. As things stand, I am likely Free-Hitting in Blank Gameweek 34 (BGW34) and using my Triple Captain chip in Gameweek 36, when Manchester City are likely to have their Double Gameweek. I will be Wildcarding either in Gameweek 32 (with a Gameweek 33 Bench-Boost) or in Gameweek 33 (with a Gameweek 35 Bench-Boost), as I am debating the value of a stronger Bench-Boost with a Gameweek 32 Wildcard against a better all-round team with a weaker Bench-Boost in Gameweek 35.Utkarsh Dalmia (@ZopharFPL) I'm in a position where my team looks great for Gameweek 32, so I am not inclined to use the Wildcard this week. However, my team does not look so good for Gameweek 34, as I have no playing goalkeeper, two Brentford players at Manchester United and Daniel Munoz (£5.8m) away to Liverpool. So I'm thinking of Wildcarding in Double Gameweek 33 (DGW33), with 11 players who Double - made up from Bournemouth, Chelsea, Leeds and Man City in my starting line-up, with David Raya (£6.0m), Bruno Fernandes (£10.3m), Gabriel (£7.2m) and Chris Richards (£4.4m) on the bench. I would then Free-Hit in BGW34, and Bench-Boost in Gameweek 35, which would consist of two Leeds defenders at home to Burnley, Rayan (£5.6m) at home to Palace and Richards, who still has a Double Gameweek due at some point, away to Bournemouth. Holly Shand (@HollyShand) My team looks stronger now for Gameweek 32 than if I was to Wildcard to set up for a Bench-Boost in DGW33. With that in mind, I'm planning to Free-Hit in DGW33, and then Wildcard in Gameweek 35, followed by a Bench-Boost in Gameweek 36. Pras (@Pras_FPL) I've got all of my chips left to play except the Triple-Captain. I certainly won't be Wildcarding this week, but I'm open to a Wildcard in DGW33 and Free-Hit in BGW34 strategy, or Free-Hit in BGW33 and Wildcard in Gameweek 35. I may Bench-Boost in Gameweek 35 or Gameweek 36, but I am not letting the Bench-Boost dictate when I play my other, more important chips.Harry Daniels (@FPL_Harry) I still have my Wildcard, Free Hit and Bench Boost chips left to play, but I also have five free transfers. For me, my team is too strong this week to Wildcard into a team I think just looks worse. So my plan is to Free-Hit in DGW33 and Wildcard in Gameweek 35, with the Bench Boost chip saved for the final three Gameweeks of the season. Oscar (@FPLFocal) I've got my Wildcard, Bench Boost and Free Hit chips remaining. The strategy I'm looking at is Free-Hit in DGW33, Wildcard in Gameweek 35 and then Bench-Boost in Gameweek 36 (if that's when the postponed Man City v Crystal Palace match is rearranged for). The teams that play twice in DGW33 have some terrible fixtures in Gameweek 32, which makes it a tough decision to justify Wildcarding this week! Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily) Having already used my Wildcard, I only have my Bench Boost and Free Hit chips left to play. With that in mind, I am likely to Bench-Boost in DGW33 and Free-Hit in BGW34. There is a chance that I decide to Free-Hit in DGW33 to own 11 players who have two matches, and then save the Bench-Boost until Man City's match against Crystal Palace is rescheduled. But given I already have two Man City assets and Bournemouth assets, as well as one each from Chelsea and Burnley, along with three free transfers and a further one ahead of DGW33, I am in a place where having 10 players with two matches is a possibility without needing to Free-Hit, which makes that strategy more appealing. Tom Johnson (@FFScout_Tom) I've ruled out a Gameweek 32 Wildcard, with my team looking strong for this weekend. Furthermore, I have already bought in Jarrod Bowen (£7.6m), who enjoys strong fixtures in both Gameweeks 32 and 34. I'm debating between either a DGW33 or a Gameweek 35 Wildcard, with a Free-Hit consequently in BGW34 or DGW33 respectively. The Bench-Boost is less of a consideration, as the least powerful chip, and will be used in either Gameweek 35 or Gameweek 36.
