Fantasy football tips: Is it time to make the most of your remaining chips?

Fourteen gameweeks to go and it's time to start thinking about how you're going to use your remaining Fantasy Premier League chips this season.

We had fantasy football fixtures guru Ben Crellin on the Fantasy 606 podcast this week to look at where the double gameweeks and the blank gameweeks are going to fall and what the best strategies might be to navigate those.

If you're lucky, or some might argue astute, then you might still have the full complement of a wildcard, two free hits, a triple captain and bench boost available to you, in which case you're in great shape to attack the rest of the season.

Let's start with the triple captain because that looks like it's going to be the most straightforward.

Liverpool are one of eight teams to enjoy two matches in gameweek 26 with enticing home fixtures against Norwich and Leeds.

That means a vast amount of managers will give the armband to Mohamed Salah and triple up. Chris Sutton describes those managers, and I'm one of them, as the «Salah bore brigade» but if you don't want to get left behind then you might just have to follow suit.

On the other hand if you're playing catch-up in your mini-leagues then you might have to gamble and back against Salah, maybe even giving it to one of his team-mates that week like Sadio Mane or Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Those fixtures certainly look promising for Liverpool in gameweek 26 but just a word of warning that they face Chelsea in the League Cup final just four days after the Leeds game, so can you guarantee Salah will start both Premier League fixtures?

And let's not forget there are plenty of other players with double gameweeks to come who could do just as well as Salah. You only have to look at Bruno Fernandes's 23 points in gameweek 22
