If you're one of the 47.5 per cent of Fantasy Premier League managers yet to play their Bench Boost chip, listen up. 

In the latest episode of the FPL Show, Mark Sutherns reveals how to construct the best possible squad and explains why "Bench Boosters" may even have the edge on Triple Captain users.

He says players like Fernandinho (£5.0m) are key, and can enable managers to splash the cash on "powerful differentials" such as Kevin De Bruyne (£10.3m), Eden Hazard (£10.5m) and Alexis Sanchez (£11.5m).

"Fernandinho's a midfielder so he gets an extra point if Manchester City keep clean sheets, and at home to Huddersfield Town and Brighton there's a chance of that. 

"He's only £5.0m so he's a great bench option and he can chip in with goals. In that City team anyone can join in."
