At first, I was pretty confused about the assistant manager chip in FPL. I mean, what the heck is it and how the hell do I use it?
I started by checking out the official FPL website. I clicked around, read the descriptions, and tried to wrap my head around what this chip was all about. It said the assistant manager chip could let someone else pick my team for a gameweek. That sounded kinda cool, but also a bit risky.
Then I thought, “Who the hell should I let use this chip for me?” I asked my mates who were also into FPL. One of them, Dave, was always bragging about his team – picking skills. So I decided to give him the green – light to use the assistant manager chip for me in an upcoming gameweek.
I logged into my FPL account, found the section for using chips. It was a bit of a pain in the ass to navigate, but I finally located the assistant manager chip option. I clicked on it and then followed the steps to invite Dave. It asked for his email, so I typed that in and hit the send button.
After that, I waited. Dave got the invite and said he’d be all over it. He started analyzing the fixtures, checking out the player stats, and making his picks. I was a bit nervous, like what if he messed up my team big – time?
The gameweek rolled around, and I was on the edge of my seat watching the matches. Dave had made some pretty unexpected picks. Some of the players he chose weren’t the usual big – name stars, but he had his reasons. He said he was going for players who were in good form and had favorable fixtures.
As the games played out, I was pleasantly surprised. A few of his picks scored goals and got assists. My team ended up doing way better than I expected. I even jumped up a few hundred places in the overall FPL rankings.
Looking back on this whole experience, using the assistant manager chip was a wild ride. It was a bit scary at first, handing over the reins to someone else. But it also turned out to be a great decision. It taught me that sometimes, it’s good to step back and let someone else take a crack at things. And it’s always fun to see what different strategies can do in FPL. So, if you’re thinking about using the assistant manager chip, don’t be afraid to give it a shot!
