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.

    Better combo for next 3-4 GWs
    A) Kun, Fleck
    B) Vardy, Maddy

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Debating more or less the exact same moves.

      Either Vardy + Maddison > Aguero + Fleck, or......Vardy + Ings > Aguero & Greenwood.

      Below are my concerns though, if Aguero carries on playing, it has to be A

  2. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    As much as i wanna do Vardy to Aguero, what are people's opinions on how he would fare from here on?

    Champs league kicks back in, Pep won't wanna get him injured etc, so are we now back to the usual rotation?
    Obviously it makes sense to wait and see how Vardy does first so i'll have to take Kun's price rise.

    Any insight appreciated 😉

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wait for sure. Rotation will be huge but he's still dangerous to do magic in 30 mins etc. The downgrades needed I'm not sure are worth though. Difficult

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate, yeah is a tough choice, but rotation certainly has to kick in now i'd of thought.

        Like above, it's either Vardy + Maddison > Aguero + Fleck, or......Vardy + Ings > Aguero & Greenwood if i wanted him.
        Another move would be to do Vardy + Evans > auba + Williams/Tananga

        Best just seeing what's what for now anyhow.

        Oh, and Hendo! What a star! Cool 11 pts from my keeper, chuft.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yup. Was buzzing at the game with 18 from KDB and Hendo haha. Could've been a lot worse if Mahrez or Sterl got points. I think Vardy will do well tomz so just wait and see

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Nice!
            Yeah could of been a bit devastating if the pen was converted, but luck at last!
            Yep twill do, hope Vardy explodes.

      Was at the game and didn’t notice it myself.... however I was 8 pints deep

    Gutted had double Everton defence tonight, Planning early... Firimino to Abamayang for next gw look smart?

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Yes, I'm eyeing up Auba. Just wondering if I should be jumping now, or wait a week to see how he's got through the suspension....

  5. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    In my money league, 12/13 of the top managers played the triple captain.

    8 Salah, 4 Mane (myself included), 1 TAA.

    Mane TC looks a differential if anything!

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

      I'm pretty much the exact opposite...

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

    Vardy and martial To aguero and fleck ?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      As above, i feel it's too risky right now, see how things pan out.
      Vardy bangs in a hat trick, Aguero back in CL rotation, all changes again.

  7. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I capped Firmino, not feeling confident seeing all the Salah and Mane cappers. Anyone else here cap Firmino?

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

      Cap Mane just because of ownership..

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I reckon 3 * Firmino + 1 Mané won't be hugely different from 3 * Mané + 1 Firmino...

    3. Endhey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I am, even TCing him haha.. let's just hope for the best

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

    Bit nervous on Mane(c).

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why? I TC'd him and feeling rather confident about it.

  9. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Didn't realise TAA TC would be a huge differential. I thought Mane would in my ML but someone did Ings, KDB to Mane, Gwood and other something similar.

    Regret doing a last minute switch to Mane but owells :p

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Risky TAA (TC). Got to be ballsy for that.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Almost was lol

  10. st4rty
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Just got in from work and watched our game (Chels).

    I'm sorry but of the XI that started Kepa, Emerson, Rudi, & Willian just aren't good enough. The players that came on Michy, Barkley & Mount, aren't either. I'm amazed Tammy has scored as many as he has given the absolute dross service we give him and he looks absolutely knackered. Cavani is a no brainer.

    We're in desperate need of a keeper, centre half, left back, a midfielder that can do more than pass backwards/sideways, someone to give our forward line opportunities, and a direct winger.

    Christensen is the best centre half at the club he was brilliant again tonight, him & Tomori partnership going forward. CHO bright too.

    Sorry, rant over lol.

    18 pts scored so far - TAA, Robbo, Mane (tc), Madders & Vardy to play.

      You will be passed by Man U and say hello to Europa

      1. st4rty
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I can't see it. I think we are 'just' about the best of the worst bunch going for fourth.

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          United are far worse ; especially sans Rashford - puts their kick and rush tactics down to Martial and James now. Chelsea and Lampard are just a bit naive, but Kepa didn't become a bad keeper overnight - like DeGea I think he just lacks any confidence in the four in front of him.

    1 gw only

    A. Deeney
    B. DCL

    1. Digital-Real

      A. whilst he's on this purple patch.

      They play each other. Maybe Deeney as home and penalties.

  12. chaser123

    Best Maddison replacement?

        Already have him unfortunately. What are your thoughts on Fleck?

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Haven't watched SU much but looks much better than Cantwell.

          1. chaser123
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Would mean I can do Ayew to Ings next gameweek so could be a decent move.

            Alternative is to trade Aurier to a SU defender (but I don’t know whether Lundstram May have lost his place?!)

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    14. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Surely KDB sellers must have lost huge value.

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

        I would have lost only 0.1
        But didnt go that way. Sold kdb once and it was brutal.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I made the same mistake and learnt my lesson.

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I didn't learn mine, decided to try again 😉 Son had more expected pts for this week and I decided not to be superstitious. According to RMT-tool it was also the best 2 week transfer. If Son hauls he could be decent short term punt. With my luck it ain't gonna happen though.

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

        Only 0.6 at best

        I'll lose only 0.3

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

          0.6 is still a fair whack.

      3. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I lost .3 on paper. Son has risen .1 and KdB dropped .1 since. Should Son haul big time he should rise again before I need Kdb back.

        KdB may pick up an injury again or be rotated later in the season and I doubt if he's a season keeper in that case. These season keepers have been sold by masses many times.

        did you seriously toss a coin? 😆

          Less damage this way seeing I can't pick a correct captain.

    Yes or No:

    Jiminez + Maddison -> Aguero + Fleck (-4)

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    Ryan
    Lundtstram TAA Robertson VVD
    Maddison Grealish KDB Martial
    Vardy Tosun

        Already set my bed by going triple pool defence 🙂

          Don't be stubborn if they start scoring goals and leak.

          1. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Definitely, I just wanted to take a risk and see if it pays off. If not ill switch up to a pool attacker.

    I need to find 1.3m to change Firmino to Auba. Where to find it?

    A) Moura
    B) martial
    C) traore

    The rest is
    Mane/ KDB/
    Aguero/ DCL/

    So can afford bench fodder if needed

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      C

      1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Gives me 4.3... Hayden it is then, on the bench.

        Mane/ KDB/ Martial/ Moura
        Aguero/ Auba/ DCL

        Quite like it...

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago
