Episode notes
Use Remaining Chips This Week
- Play any remaining chips now because unused chips cannot be carried into the second half of the season.
- Use bench boost or other chips strategically as this is the last weekend to activate them.
Julien's Ekitike Captain Choice
- Julien captained Hugo Ekitike and got 10 points from the captaincy despite thinking Haaland might do well.
- He also noted Timber was a surprise omission and Rice appeared at right-back.
Target United Defence Over Attack
- Manchester United look more reliable defensively than offensively right now, making defenders and keepers better FPL targets.
- United attackers face rotation and creativity issues, so forwards are riskier picks.
