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.

    I find it hard to justify Vardy > Auba. Arsenal look an average team in every way. Plus they (probably) blank in 28 just like Leicester.

    1. SH

      But those fixtures! Would have surely taken a punt if not bought Vardy at 8.9. Still considering it

        Auba and great fixtures...
        Hmm, think I'm getting déjà vu!

    Which one of this Template Trio would you lose to get Kun? Obviously price differences would mean different midfield downgrades to go with it, but out of:

    A. Vardy
    B. Ings
    C. Abraham

    1. B Sharp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      B or C. Only imo

    The worst thing about fpl is seeing players on your bench with double digits

    1. Marmalade Forest
      • 6 Years

      Jack Stephens?

      1. B Sharp

        Iye. Ederson kept a clean for once

  4. HD7

    2 FT, 0.3 ITB

    Kasper
    TAA Dunk Kelly
    KDB Maddy Salah Mane
    Ings Vardy DCL

    Subs: Button, Stephens, Lund, Hayden

    Do Maddy to Fleck tonight before price changes,
    and then Vardy to Kun after the GW is over?

    Only the 8th time I’ve had a double digit player rooted to the bench this season. D’oh!

    Tammy Abraham not yellow-flagged?! The way Jeff Stelling was going on, you'd think he's gonna be out injured! Not the case...!?

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

      Yes yellow flagged

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He had to be helped off the pitch and was hobbling badly. His ankle was jarred against the advertising hoardings. Could maybe recover in a week, who knows

  8. the dom 1

    Would you do Ings to Martinelli fir the next 3 GWs as a Punt??

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

      man it would be great if Martinelli got a run of starts, but I can't see him displacing Auba, Laca, or Pepe long-term

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

      If your heart is telling you yes. Don't do it. Wait for the press conference

        Got another week to decide and also think Auba is back too. Cheers

    14 points from 6 players.
    Isn't this how all the truly great GW's begin?

    Hoping for a massive turnaround.

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Here’s hoping so lad

    2. Moose™
      • 11 Years

      Salah was a massive differential in my ML. Heres hoping Salah gets a hattrick each match. Lol

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

        lol. 120 points from one player.

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

      I'm on 30 from 6, but usually when I start off well in the first set of games, I get nothing from everyone else. So you are probably right !

  10. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Newcastle Goals scored by:
    Defenders = 12
    Midfielders = 12
    Forwards = 1

    weird team.

    1. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Bruce knows it. Joelinton off, Schar on when he needs goals lmao.

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

      Is this a sign to bring Lascelles in?

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

        What's Fernandez saying

      2. tucaoneo
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Strongly considering Söyüncü > Lascelles.

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

          This or double SHU with one of the 4.5 alongside Lunds.

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If only Bruce could coach his team to kick the ball as well as they head it. He could be onto something.

  11. dshv

    Vardy and martial To aguero and fleck ?? Do it now ?

  12. fgdu

    henderson concedes 1, 11 pointer. Very good news for owners!

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

      Very good. May even pop a bottle with our Freida!

  13. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like Kelly Söyüncü and KDB all price dropping tonight which is below. Would you get of Kelly or Söyüncü pre fall tonight and if so who would to be considering in up to 5 m?

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

      Double SHU with one of the 4.5 or Lascelles.

      But I de rather loose the .1 on Kelly and wait.

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

        Have all three also.

        Considering Soy and Maupay to double SHU or Lascelles and DCL.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Hold those transfers, 11 days till next deadline.

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

      Stupid to do transfers before the current GW is even over and when there are FA cup matches to play.

    4. 1314
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      are there any players of similar price range as Kelly and Soy who are better if you bought them cheaply (4.2/4.5) ?

    5. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Kelly is nowhere near dropping according to fantasyfootballfix.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        FFF is notoriously inaccurate

        1. tucaoneo
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Actually this year its prediction on rises are pretty good. Certainly less crazy than fplstatistics.

  14. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best way to get Aguero in? 2FT 0.3itb

    McCarthy
    TAA / Aurier / Soy / Rico
    Mane / KDB / Martial / Salah
    Ings / Vardy

    Bench: Button, Lundstram, Greenwood, Hayden

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

      If wanna keep pool trio, Vardy, KdB, and Martial is the casualties imo.

      Get rid of Vardy/KdB might kill your rank tho if they gets a haul.

      Im gonna watch Vardy tonight and reassess later

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

        that's losing a lot of atacking potential

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

      Mane + Ings out, I guess

  15. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years

    It's amazing how some people get lucky consistently. Can't beat that.

    2. SH

              I believe, between 15-30 points buddy 🙂

                    Well done. He is going to start a huge welcome on board party for you 🙂 (Now I am even more confident in the 15-30 points)

                    Sweet to know you finally gave him a chance.

                    Once he bags in those lovely jubbly points, you promise never to call him a trap? 🙂

                    I take it as a deal 😉

              Wildcard draft - thoughts? Lacking everton players, potentially interested in digne or richarlison or DCL

              McCarthy Button
              Baldock Stephens van Dijk Gomez Lundstram
              Grealish Dendoncker Mané De Bruyne Mahrez

                with DCL in for Abraham I could buy another mid, probably martial

              Very disappointed with Ryan. Hendo in an option.
              Soyuncu, Maupay and Vardy also currently on the chopping block.

              Hi friends,

              Something was up today with LiveFPL as some managers were shown their old teams instead of the new ones. I am yet to fully identify the issue but can you please help me with the following?:

              1) Did you notice such issue today for your team? If so, what's your id?

              2) Now that OR is updated, is the rank predicted by LiveFPL accurate like usual?

              Thanks in advance!

                1. No issue for me

                2. My actual rank is 3 places better than what is showing in LiveFPL, that is unacceptable 🙂

                great work on the site in an seriousness.

                Cheers all! Must be a minor issue, was worried it affects more users/hurts rank caculations. Good luck with the DGW!

              Which one?

              A Play McCarthy (vs Pool)
              B use FT for Martin to Hendo

              B* means I have 2 active GK

                hendo will get a fair number of points next week i think. B is a good shout but could be other transfers worth doing. You could also just get another sheff utd defender, McCarthy is worth playing most of the next 6

              Where to next for this team?
              Ryan -> Hendo + Soyuncu-> 5.7m (or less) looking best right now.

              May as well keep Maupay for the next few fixtures.
              Thoughts?

              Ryan.
              TAA, Williams, Holgate.
              Grealish, KDB, Mane, Salah.
              Maupay, Ings, Vardy.
              Stek, Soyuncu, Lundstram, Dendoncker.
              2ft, 0.9m ITB.

              Bloody disaster, got caught in work (big issue arose) and didn’t make the deadline 🙁
              I had money in the bank to get third Liverpool player in and also never got to play Triple Captain chip..... Massive red a arrow in coming! No one to blame but myself.

                If FPL is interfering your work, you need to quit (and find a new job)
