    Hey folks. fpl just back and i noticed the power up option. Good idea. But can somebody please tell me why you would chose the all out attack option (2-5-3) instead of allowing all your bench to play as well. Are the bench on reduced points ? Seems like a real stupid bug.

    I see where you're coming from. You can only use each one once, apart from the wildcard and only one may be used in any one gameweek.

    You can use each "power up" only one time so its not that stupid. Still a bit stupid though. 2-5-3 could be handy if you have a defensive injury crisis and are running a bit short. The bench boost is perfect for DGW. They're called chips not power ups and questions like this normally go in the regular chat thread just so you know.

    Then the 2-5-3 would certainly be very pointless! This things are stupid but they are at least making us use traditional formations the majority of the time. You can only use 1 of your 5 chips in any particular week and each chip can only be used once.

    the triple captain could be huge in a DGW as well

    Yeh of course. You would want to use the bench boost for a bigger DGW and the triple captain for a smaller DGW ideally with one of the big guns playing. Getting the 2-5-3 used at the right time is going to be the interesting one especially given how people tend to set their teams up with at least one weak mid/for. Looks like some are planning on using it in GW1 not sure on that myself. If anything using it GW38 when defending often goes out the window might be a better option.

    That would be so cool! Or if when you select power-up the screen explodes and flashes power-up time all over the place. It would need to be in 16bit graphics to make it extra special.
