The first 10 games of game week 33 are in the bag with three double game week fixtures still to come over the next couple of days, and it's been a big one at both [laughs] ends of the table, as well as being a divisive one in FPL. 823,000 bench boosts are active, 693 triple captains, as well as 444,000 free hits and 219 wild cards. In fact, there are 2,379,580 chips active this week, which is a record only beaten by game week 24 last season, which was the first week of the assistant manager chip. Pras, it's chip season. Do you have one active, and how's the game week going?
Prasun Singhal· Host1:01
Yes. Uh, I have to first say this is so nice to see that so many people are active at this point in the season. So many chips are active. And of course, I was also on one of those. I was actually the, the ra- more rarely seen wild card- Ooh ... which was a week later than when everybody played, and, uh, uh, of course, happy to talk about why I did it, but, uh, pretty happy with it so far. I've got 10 players who've played. Obviously, João Pedro didn't show up, and we'll talk about him if he does later this evening.
