Ahead of the 2015/16 season, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) introduced some chips to make the game more interesting and strategic.

All Out Attack isn’t around anymore but both Bench Boost and Triple Captain remain – alongside a Free Hit and two Wildcards – to play a key role in each manager’s attempt to win mini-leagues and achieve a strong global rank.

WHAT ARE CHIPS?

This toolbox provides FPL managers with a few different ways to approach the game.

Bench Boost – Includes the points of your four substitutes in the Gameweek total.

Free Hit – Using unlimited free transfers to form a squad for one Gameweek only.

Wildcard – Using unlimited free transfers to transform your squad for current and future Gameweeks.

Only one of these can be used per Gameweek, activated before the deadline.

Who is the best captain for FPL Double Gameweek 19? 1

WHAT IS A TRIPLE CAPTAIN?

Meanwhile, Triple Captain gives all managers one opportunity per season to multiply their chosen captain’s points by three rather than the usual two.

For example, captaining Erling Haaland‘s ten-point return would bring in 20 points. With Triple Captain, it then becomes 30.

According to the FPL website, if your Triple Captain doesn’t play, the points “will be passed to your vice-captain. If your vice-captain doesn’t play either then the bonus is lost, the chip isn’t returned.”

HOW TO ACTIVATE A TRIPLE CAPTAIN

Via a computer, just log in to your FPL account and select the ‘Pick Team’ tab. Underneath the starting XI and substitutes bench is a ‘Play’ button that needs clicking and confirming.

Using the official FPL app, this is immediately visible above such team graphics. The captaincy logo next to your chosen player’s name will turn from black to white.

BEST TIMES TO USE IT

Chips can be used in a variety of situations, that’s the beauty of them. Perhaps it’s to attack a Double Gameweek or survive a Blank Gameweek. Maybe your squad has an injury crisis or you have supreme confidence in one player’s upcoming fixture.

Triple Captain is all about the latter. The majority of FPL managers usually follow the logic of using it during a Double Gameweek, where your captain should play twice and therefore score more points that need trebling.

Then again, in just one match, we’ve seen Mohamed Salah bag a phenomenal 29 points in 2017/18 (four goals, one assist) and Frank Lampard twice bring in a 28-point haul. Remember when Sergio Aguero scored five times against Newcastle United (26 points) or when midfielder Michail Antonio netted four times at Norwich City (26 points)?

Whilst usual advice would be to use Triple Captain on a Double Gameweek player, sometimes the gut feeling puts it elsewhere.
