You now get two of each chip, with one set locked to the first half of the season and one to the second. The headline effect: no more hoarding a Wildcard until GW34.
For mini-league players that rewards planning. Map your Bench Boost to a double gameweek early, and keep a Free Hit in reserve for the first big blank.
The teams who win tight leagues will be the ones who spend chips on schedule, not the ones who save them for a rainy day that never comes.
