Chips: Use them or lose them!
This season, Fantasy managers have Wildcard, Free Hit, Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips to use in EACH half of the season.
You must use ALL your chips before the Gameweek 19 deadline on Tuesday 30 December at 18:00 GMT. Any unused chips will be lost, as the chips are reset for the second half of the season. Remember, only ONE chip can be played in each Gameweek.
With just three Gameweeks until the reset, see The Scout's advice on when to use any remaining chips.
