The wait is over!
When 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League launched in the summer, we announced that a Mystery Chip would be revealed during the season. Now the moment is here.
The Mystery Chip is… the Assistant Manager chip!
As well as picking 15 players in your squad, you’ll soon be able to pick one of the Premier League’s 20 managers to help you earn points.
The chip will become playable from Gameweek 24 in January, and when you activate it you’ll be able to choose an Assistant Manager for THREE successive Gameweeks.
Your Assistant Manager will get you six points for each win, three for a draw, two for a clean sheet and one point for every goal.
So will you be backing Arne Slot to deliver a hat-trick of victories with Liverpool? A 2-0 win would be worth 10 points in total, and you could potentially have three of those in a row!
Picking Slot might be a good approach – but there’s more!
If you pick a manager who faces a club ranked at least five places higher in the Premier League table at the start of the Gameweek, there’s the possibility of even greater rewards – an EXTRA 10 points for a win, so 16 in total, or an additional five points for a draw, so eight in total.
So is it better to pick a manager whose club are at the top of the table, or one who’s lower down and primed for some big results? You decide!
How does the chip work? Which managers have been getting the most Fantasy points so far this season? Who has the best run of fixtures across three Gameweeks after the chip becomes playable?
We’ve got the answers to all of these questions, and everything you need to help you plan ahead.
