How many top 10k managers played the Triple Captain for Double Gameweek 24?

39.3% of Fantasy Premier League managers inside the top 10k have played their Triple Captain chips for Double Gameweek 24.

Prior to the first bumper round of action this season, just 20.1% of those at the top level had used the chip, but that has now increased to 59.4% following Tuesday evening’s deadline.

With Liverpool playing both Wolves and West Ham, such a large backing for the Triple Captain comes as no surprise.

As you can see, that means the Triple Captain is now by far the most deployed chip in the top 10k after the first 24 Gameweeks.

Interestingly, a portion of these managers used this particular round of action to change their squad entirely.

4.1% of the top 10k opted to play their Wildcards to coincide with two fixtures for West Ham and Liverpool.

Also, it is particularly interesting to see how many FPL managers played the Triple Captain chip as a percentage of the entire world.

As you can see, just 9.7% of all Fantasy managers opted to play the Triple Captain for Double Gameweek 24, showing just how small a proportion of the wider community our site and social media truly represents.

Captaincy

However, the bigger questions revolve around which players have been trusted with that triple captain chip.

The standard armbands have favoured Sadio Mané (£12.4m), with 43.1% of the top 10k handing him the captaincy.

Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) sits in second place with the backing of 33.3% while 11.3% have chosen to captain Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m).

Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) has some representation too, with 3.4% of the top 10k taking the plucky decision to captain the Brazilian.

Kevin de Bruyne (£10.7m) flew the flag for single Gameweek options, backed by 2.6% for the captaincy and managed a seven-point score in a 1-0 win at Sheffield United.

The Belgian played a trademark cross-field ball for Sergio Aguero (£11.9m) to tap in, earning a bonus point in the process.

Triple Captaincy

However, it seems the Egyptian has been favoured more by those playing the Triple Captaincy chip.

As you can see from the breakdown above, the 39.3% of top 10k managers who played the chip this week included a 16.9% of the top bracket who Triple Captained Salah.

Meanwhile, Mané sits in second place with 16.5% of top 10k managers handing him the enhanced armband.

Alexander-Arnold has been trusted by 4.8% at this level while just 0.8% went with Firmino.

Most popular triple-ups

  • TAA, Mané, Salah – 21.5%
  • TAA, Robbo, Mané – 11.4%
  • TAA, van Dijk, Mané – 9.8%
  • TAA, Mané, Firmino – 8.7%
  • TAA, Robbo, Salah – 5.0%
  • TAA, Salah, Firmino – 3.9%
  • TAA, van Dijk, Salah – 3.7%

Now that the Double Gameweek 24 deadline has passed, we can now get a more accurate picture of which Liverpool triple-ups are the most popular in the top 10k.

Not surprisingly, it’s the Mané and Salah double-up, combined with Alexander-Arnold that is the most fashionable at this level, 21.5% in possession of these three.

The defensive double-up has hardly been overlooked though with 11.4% on Alexander-Arnold, Robertson and Mané, and 9.8% going with Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk and Mané.

Meanwhile, 5.0% have chosen Alexander-Arnold, Robertson and Salah and 3.7% went with Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk and Salah, therefore, just under 30% of the top 10k managers are invested in a Liverpool defensive double-up of some kind.

Top 10k Template

Naturally, the matrix of most-owned players inside the top 10k has taken on a Liverpool flavour for Double Gameweek 24.

Alexander-Arnold and Robertson are now among the top-five most-fashionable defenders while Mané and Salah are both in a similar position for midfielders.

The two areas where Jurgen Klopp’s men have very little power is in goal and up-front.

Mat Ryan (£4.9m), sat in 31.3% of top 10k squads, is the most-popular playing goalkeeper while Jamie Vardy (£10.0m), Danny Ings (£7.0m) and Aguero are the most fashionable forwards.

It was a mixed evening for those invested in two of these forwards. Ings came on for a 20-minute one-point cameo against Crystal Palace while Aguero emerged from the bench to score the winning goal for Manchester City.

    About time they sorted the surrounding areas of grounds before a player breaks a bone.

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      spikes in the run off area?

  2. MSTRKRFTSMN

    As much as I rate Grealish, he’s pushing Auba for the most irritating fpl player

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      1 shot, 0.08 xg tonight, stats have been bad regression was bound to happen at some point

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Double figures for penalty box touches. In the right places. Will do better against a weaker defence than Watford.

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      the only thing irritating about Auba is that his price kept dropping.

  3. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Jesus Maupay is awful, 8 shots and an xg of 1.3... gets nothing.

    1. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ramsdale made a couple of good saves to keep him out to be fair.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Top of the famous goals imminent table now

    3. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I seen this earlier. As an owner I'm fairly gutted. Was a decent call to start him over Ings today

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Same. Guess have to keep for west ham too with those numbers too

  4. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Have penalty saves always been worth 5? Saw Henderson’s score Andy thought he’d made a lot of saves 🙂

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Saved a pen from Jesus.

  5. Hitmonlee

    What’s this about a double 26?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would think it depends on the Carabao cup semis next week.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I didnt watch the game but Besic was terrible and Lundstram will get his spot back for sure

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      well big lund has some competition now. FA cup and next league game will be where we find out

    3. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I thought Lund was 'rested'. 🙁

    4. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Didn't see much from Besic other than recklessly hacking down Laporte. Bring back Lund

  6. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Is Ryan to Henderson and SHU defence double up with Lundstram too sideways a move. Also considering Fleck as 5th midfielder so triple up even?

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      those are the 3 that I have ... every difficult match where I have played a second goalie (Gazza, McCarthy), Hendo has outscored them. Just going to leave him in now regardless of fixture

  7. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Early thoughts lads?

    Ryan

    TAA Soyuncu Lundstram

    Salah© Mane KdB Grealish

    Vardy Tammy Greenwood

    Subs: Button Cantwell Stephens Simpson

    1FT and 1.1ITB

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Where's the Aguero + Auba front line?

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        No way I can do it except WC.

        Can slot in Aguero/Auba tho. See how Vardy does.

    2. B Sharp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Martinelli for Greenwood possibly. Payday at least if nothing comes of it

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Vardy to Auba for free very tempting..

        1. B Sharp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Aubs the goal machine. Gerrim in

        2. HashAttack
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Did Vardy > Firmino ... can now do Ings or Firmino > Auba (4.2 itb)

          gw26 : Firmino (nor), Aguero (WHU), Auba (NEW) .... sounds good

  8. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Should I buy a Stephens?
    What's defensive of Southampton?
    Or Lundstram?

  9. SouthCoastSaint
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Any chance Fabianski starts either game?

    Started him over McCarthy

    1. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not likely. Repeat injury . Can’t see them rushing him back even if he’s fit

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe the second. Not the first.

  10. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who wins on points?

    A) Pope, Aurier, Snodgrass and Salah (c)

    B) Vardy, Maddy, Lucas, Firmino and Mane (c),

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B easy

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      The one with Vardy

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      What???? LOL

      Is this a joke???

  11. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ouch, Aguero -> Jesus (-4) doesn’t look good. Ings -> Haller was a part of the hit, so it might still not be a disaster. Not having high hopes though.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It’s a disaster. Just lick your wounds and go again.

  12. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    For gw 25 only

    A. Deeney
    B. DCL

    1. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe Andy Carroll to beat up Norwich

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling has 9 points from last 5 gws.

    Wow, just wow.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He should be a good option when Sane is back.

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mark knows

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lost his mojo.

    4. FPL_Gyarados
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      One of the few players I'm happy I sold a while back.

    5. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Stubbornly held him for the first 12 gws.. am well shot of him.
      He did seem to turn it on for England and in champs league.. but he doesnt look right at the moment.

  14. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best transfer. Narrowing down...
    A. Kelly to Egan/O'Connell
    B. Kelly to Stephens
    C. Kelly to any Newcastle defender bar Ritchie.
    D. Soyuncu to Ritchie
    E. Soyuncu to Stevens/Baldock
    F. Ryan to Henderson
    G. Maupay to Deeney/DCL

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      B

    2. ted mcnure

      Too many choices to read.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        True - just narrowing at this point.

  15. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    This season just feels like everything goes right for my rival and nothing for me. Obviously there’s skill involved but I just feel every 50/50 goes his way. That’s why we love it tho eh? 🙂

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He is obviously just better. 😉

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Well that is something I’m trying my hardest not accept 😉

    2. FPL_Gyarados
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah. Most of my decisions backfiring this season. 4 players with 1pt tonight.

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Exactly. I’ve played for a few seasons now and this one has been the hardest so far for me. Might be to do with var but one example is last week he had triple sheff Utd defence. They concede, only for var to rule it out (unfairly imo). It’s all part of the game but it’s hard to take

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A bad workman blames his tools.

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I’m blaming myself for using my rubbish tools...

    4. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Last week my rival had VVD, Grealish, Fleck and Traore ... It felt horrible seeing all those hitters, the only consolations were Traore stayed on the bench and my buying Ings has stopped him scoring points

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Every cloud 😉

  16. dshv
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Jimmy and Vardy to Aguero and 5.7 ?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No for me. See how Vardy does tomorrow at least.

  17. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Really unhappy with Stephens as my first player on Bench and Ings starting in my team /:

    Okay its me who decided Ings can get something even from the bench and Saints dont have a good chance for a cleanie...

    But why on Earth does Hassenhutl or whatever his name... need to get Ings in when his team is leading 2:0.
    Its logical to give him the break especially after the team doesnt need him ah...

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Because he doesn't care about your FPL team? If you hadn't had a player with a return of some sort to come on in his place you'd have been delighted that he got twenty minutes to try to do something.

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Crystal. Palace.

  18. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Only 1 manager of the month by 3 points in November but top of my league all season. Barely sounds possible

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Consistency wins the race.

    2. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Its not plausible. You can't have been top "all season" of yoi weren't manager of the month in August.

      Nit picking

  19. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bench Zaha and Ings for Hayden and Rico next week?
    This will be the correct call I feel

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      and play Foster not Henderson

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Did Rico play well? Assume should start vs. Villa?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      he assisted and should have scored today, missed easy chance

  21. SweepaKeepa
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Next week is Mané vs Ings in derby of the ex.

    1. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      In that case then it’s VVD vs Bednarek....

  22. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Kinda considering getting auba in for vardy, is this crazy? If vardy hauls, it will he a rank killer!

    1. JonSnow
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth the risk imo.
      Do you have money tied up in him?

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not really..Was late enough to the bandwagon, on at 9.6, so sell for 9.8

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Will see how he plays
      Tempted by a similar move

    3. TAT
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Auba's probably looking at a Barca transfer now. Stay away, IMO.

  23. JonSnow
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    That penalty miss with Mahrez assist hurt.

    Anyone eyeing up a Sheffield defensive double up for their upcoming fixtures? Worth a punt with me chasing in ML

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Someone should tell jesus that he is no good at taking penalties.

      1. SB007
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I was lauding Jesus last few days. Unbelievable Jeff.

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      May get Fleck

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      For a man with so much attention to detail, I cant believe that pep hasn't assigned it to kdb when kun isnt playing.

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Don't get either. Actually I think KDB is even a better penalty taker than Aguero...

  24. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anybody else have issues with the site earlier? My TC never saved!

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Someone else said the same earlier but the opinion is you didnt save your team once you played it.

      1. CrouchDown
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah I’m sure I did though, bummer.

        I did change my captain from Mané to Salah but I thought the chip would have remained active?

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah my players didn't score enough points.

  25. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Sounds obvious but...
    Are we starting Lundstram at Palace next gw?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Will play 2 from

      Söyüncü Rico Lundstram (Kelly 3rd bench)

      Leaning to Lundstram over Söyüncü so yes probably will

    4. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      between him and Ings at the moment

  26. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Coral bookies cant split Mane and Salah for scoring odds but for some reason have same odds for Firmino and Origi!

  27. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Wtf was Pickford doing on that second goal

  28. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Callum Wilson finally score when i have him in my team. What a feeling

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wow that's like losing your virginity! You'll sleep well tonight.

  29. TAT
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I'm struggling with what to do going forward. The team isn't really delivering, and I might need to look at moving on a few players. Any suggestions what to look at? £1.7 itb.

    Foster
    Lundstram - TAA - Söyüncü
    Salah - Mané - KDB - Doucouré
    Jiménez - DCL - Vardy
    (McGovern - Saka - Kelly - Rico)
