Chips and the crowd
community consensusThe crowd's Bench Boost is going this week, on the logic that with no double gameweeks to wait for there is nothing to save it for. The Wildcard is a debate rather than a play, with GW4 after the transfer window closes and GW6 after the international break the two preferred windows.
