Chip Strategy

Should FPL managers Triple Captain Salah in Double Gameweek 24?

27 January 2025 406 comments

avfc82

With Liverpool having a Double Gameweek 24, a significant consideration for many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers is whether to deploy the Triple Captain chip on Mohamed Salah (£13.7m).

Arne Slot’s side, who are six points clear at the top of the table and still have a game in hand, have two away fixtures at Bournemouth and Everton.

In this article, we look at some of the pros and cons of using the Triple Captain chip on Salah in Double Gameweek 24.

SALAH TRIPLE CAPTAIN: THE PROS

FPL notes: Another Salah haul, Diaz + Szoboszlai impress, solid Everton

Salah has produced 10.1 points per match over his 22 appearances so far, a rate we have rarely seen before in FPL.

Salah is also top for expected goal involvement (xGI) over the season, even without penalties.

Playing in a system suited to his talents, Salah’s away form has been especially prolific under Arne Slot. It actually trumps his Anfield output, as below.

Mohamed Salah’s home (left) v away (right) stats summary in 2024/25

Salah is typically a secure starter in Liverpool’s attack. Across the season, he has started every Premier League game, averaging 88.3 minutes per appearance, having been subbed off only five times.

Salah is Liverpool’s talisman, best summed up by his 59% FPL goal involvement. Among all players who have featured for at least 500 minutes in the Premier League this season, only four have been involved in a greater proportion of their team’s goals than Salah.

With penalties in his locker, Salah has other routes to points away from open play.

Most actual and expected goals (xG), most shots, most big chances: Liverpool easily have the deadliest attack in the division.

Using the Triple Captain chip now frees up Double Gameweeks 33 and 37, when it might be preferable to use other chips, like the Assistant Manager or Bench Boost. Remember, you can’t use two chips in the same Gameweek.

Is the start of GW33 the last chance saloon to use your first chip, if you still have all of them available today? Otherwise you have to burn one if you haven't used any by 33?

  I was just thinking with the WC in GW35 do you really need a FH in GW38? You can also save up transfers for GW38 if you want to go differential.

  There is some benefit to using BB the week after a WC. It’s about the best way of making sure your whole bench is playing…

Do you think Gakpo will play both games in GW 24?
Is it worth doing Watkins to Gakpo?

  I’m exactly the same..don’t think either will get a clean sheet but watching palace Munoz gets so forward in attacks he will give you a good run for your money

Pool travelling squad consisting of second and third tier players plus Gakpo. Fortunately Jota is still out (right?) so Gakpo should be fine for double. And hopefully he gets very limited minutes.

Thinking of saving triple cap for Salah at home vs Southampton in gw 28. Tricky away fixtures this week. Vs two teams that frustrate attackers. Thoughts? Would still cap Salah this gw.

Has anyone laid out the potential future dgws? I remember there used to be a chart with the percentage chance for each team and when they would likely be rescheduled to.

Struggling to decide on whether to use AM or not on Moyes. I'm not sure if there will be a better option in the future but having the extra 2 matches likely be against Liverpool (villa potentially next gw) lowers the appeal

A) Save TC24 and take -4 to make funds for AM24 instead?
