To talk like an elite manager, you need to understand the terminology. Here is a dictionary of essential fantasy football terms, chips, and metrics.
- Chip
- A special power-up that can be activated once a season to boost points. Examples include: Wildcard, Free Hit, Triple Captain, and Bench Boost.
- Differential
- A player owned by a very small percentage of managers (typically under 10%). Buying them offers high ranking reward if they score well.
- Expected Goals (xG) & Expected Assists (xA)
- Statistical metrics measuring the quality of goalscoring and assist-making chances a player receives, helping project future point returns.
- Double Gameweek (DGW)
- A week where specific teams play two matches due to scheduling shifts. Players from these teams earn points from both matches.
