The new Assistant Manager chip is complicated! We are doing our best to make it easier and allow you to see the best opportunities.
How the Assistant Manager Chip works
- You activate the chip like any other, and once you do, you can choose your AM. Your AM will then score points for the next three gameweeks in a row.
- Choosing your initial Assistant Manager does not cost a transfer. If you change your manager any point after that, it will cost a transfer in the same way as players.
- Note you can only play one chip in a Gameweek. So if you activate the AM in gameweek 27, you can’t use another chip until gameweek 30.
- If a manager leaves or is fired, you will still score based on the original club’s results.
- The Assistant Manager chip counts towards the three-players-per-club rule.
- Assistant Managers have a price that will not change throughout the season.
- The Assistant Manager budget comes out of your existing budget, so you need to make room if you have limited funds currently.
- After the three gameweeks are complete, the funds you spent on the Assistant Manager will become available again
How to get Assistant Manager points
- Team win = 6 points
- Team draw = 3 points
- Goal scored by team = 1 point per goal
- Clean sheet from team = 2 points
- Table bonus: If your manager faces a club ranked at least five places higher in the Premier League table at the start of the Gameweek, you get an EXTRA 10 points for a win, so 16 in total, or an additional 5 points for a draw, so 8 in total.
- Note: you cannot captain the Assistant Manager
