# Chip Timing

Transfer Solver only - Tests different chip usage strategies by comparing the evaluation scores of various chip combinations across your planning horizon.

# How It Works

The solver creates possible chip combinations based on your selections, then evaluates each plan using literal settings to enable fair comparison:

• Time Decay = 1.01 (removes uncertainty discounting)
• FT Value, Bank Value, Future Info Value etc. = 0 (removes abstractions)
• Transfer Depth = maximized (allows full planning horizon)

Each possible chip plan is solved and ranked by evaluation score.

# Settings

# Chip Options

For each chip type, specify which gameweeks to consider:

WC Options: Gameweeks to test Wildcard usage
FH Options: Gameweeks to test Free Hit usage
BB Options: Gameweeks to test Bench Boost usage
TC Options: Gameweeks to test Triple Captain usage
AM Options: Gameweeks to test Assistant Manager usage

Examples:

• GW20 = Test chip in GW20 only
• GW18, GW19, GW20 = Test chip in any of these weeks
• Unused = Don't use this chip in any plans
• Unused, GW20 = Either use the chip in GW20 or not at all

Total Combinations: Shows how many feasible chip plans have been generated based on your inputs (e.g., "47 Valid Chip Combinations")

# Output

Ranked Results: Plans ordered by evaluation score, showing:

• Which chips were used and when
• Total evaluation score for comparison

# Practical Examples

Single chip timing: Set WC Options: Unused, GW10, GW11, GW12 to compare wildcard value across these options, including whether using the chip at all provides sufficient value.

Multi-chip strategies: Ideal for handling complex periods with large volumes of plausible combinations of chips across a number of weeks
