All major players present and correct for Double Gameweek Triple Captaincy

All the major players are present and correct for the first big Triple Captaincy event of the 2019/20 season.

The Liverpool team sheet for their Double Gameweek 24 trip to Wolves has come with no unpleasant surprises.

Sadio Mané (£12.5m), Roberto Firmino (£9.5m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.4m) all keep their places in the front-three while the back-four remains unchanged from the side that beat Manchester United last time out.

That means, as usual, that Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) are the full-backs either side of Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) and Joe Gomez (£5.2m).

Tonight’s match is set to be a big one in the course of the Fantasy Premier League season with so many Triple Captain chips in play.

39.3% of the top 10k Fantasy managers deployed the enhanced armband for Double Gameweek 24, with Salah and Mané largely the ones trusted with it.

Meanwhile, there are a number of different combinations when it comes to the most popular Liverpool triple-up, so it will be interesting to see which one proves the highest-scoring, although we still have next week’s trip to West Ham to look forward to.

Meanwhile, Wolves have also named a relatively straight forward line-up with Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m) and Adama Traoré (£5.7m) both in the front-three.

The biggest team news from Nuno Espirito Santo’s perspective sees previously injured Diogo Jota (£6.1m) and Willy Boly (£4.7m) back on the bench.

Their return should mean good things for Wolves’ prospects in the coming weeks.

Wolves XI: Patrício; Saïss, Coady, Dendoncker; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; Neto, Jiménez, Traoré.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Gomez, Alexander-Arnold; J Henderson, Wijnaldum, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    The only fair thing for FPL would be a Salah red...you know to even it out for all the LOL's

    I apologise to all Mane triple captainers. I literally said to my son 30 seconds before Mane went down that Liverpool have been very lucky that none of their big players have gotten injured recently.

    Anyone watching know how bad the injury is?

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

      Sounds like it might be illness.

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

        The illness!

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

      Too early.

    3. teddypicker
      • 14 Years

      Think he just needed a poo

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

      He just stopped during a Wolves counter and started walking off to the touch line, did not show any pain or give any idea how bad it was...

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

        Wasn't he limping

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

      No idea at all
      Don't care about it now anyways !!

  8. Skalla
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Only one shot on target in this game and that was off Hendo's shoulder.

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

    Only positive is most other people have done the same

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

    Mané injury is confirmation that luck is a huge part of this game.

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      This

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

    Pool will struggle to score in open play without Mane.

  12. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully just precaution to come off. Plenty time before next game

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      This...hoping it's nothing and he can get treatment

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

    No one can argue that this game is not 100% luck after this surely?

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

      It’s 50/50

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

      Nah 95% luck.

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

        Definitely not even close to 95% or else the best players at this game wouldnt be consistently good.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I can. There is a large luck element but not 100%.

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

        75% luck

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 2 months ago

        My only argument would be that you don't understand percentages

      • Am sorry to say again it�…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        100% luck? Really? You sound like someone who brings in the likes of Iwobi.

      • Skalla
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I agree if it was a skill game I would win every year...

      • Bilbao Baggins
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        It's not, it does include a lot of skill. But I can't argue this is hugely unlucky. Mane is a machine, he just doesn't get injured much normally.

      • Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        In this season 100% agree. Few times a big hitter plyer gets injuried and everyone buys the obvious next big hitter which scores a haul that same week. That is just pure luck, like Kane to Aguero transfer 3 weeks ago.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Bringing in Aguero is savvy move. I didn't do it myself but he came back from injury and is one of the greatest goalscorer in PL history and he had low ownership.

      Vardy out for Kun and Maddison out for Fleck 4ph...worth it?
      After tonight will be priced out...thanks for your comments
      Pope/Button

        Not now BSO...we are greiving lol

        I would personally do that move

        1. bso

          Condolences mate. Feel for you. Lots more to come though. Hang in there.

      2. TiAgoFPL

        My ml leader just Did this

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

        Looks like a good move and City look like they need Aguero very badly but with all the games that are coming up it's hard to determine who is going to play. You can not afford to wait for the FA cup game budget wise so I get moving now. With this schedule Aguero playing in the FA cup is actually preferable so if he doesn't play I really wouldn't know what do.

        Schedule:
        Fulham away - 26 JAN
        Man Utd home - 29 JAN
        Spurs away - 2 FEB
        West ham home - 9 FEB

        Good luck

          I am hoping Aguero won't play in the FA cup! All the best to you DAAF!

      Liverpool gonna be relying on lack of finishing by Wolves for a CS...

    11. Stoic

      Mane injury ? Muscle ?

    12. Stimps

      Hard luck Mane captainers, maybe just an illness, could come back firing next match.

      1. Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        An illness of the thigh?

    14. Duderino
      • 9 Years

      So... how do i delete team?

    15. gooberman

      • 12 Years

      And here was me thinking the use of TC on Mane in GW17 when he scored 6(18) was a waste!

    16. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sane last season
      Mane now
      😀
      I'm not good at using TC i guess

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

        Thats bad luck man

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

        Players named _ane are frauds.

      3. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Don't captain players endinng with .ane e.g Sane,Mane,Kane .....

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

          What about ending with uffy?

    17. Queens of the South Age
      • 6 Years

      Dodged another bullet there. Nearly brought in Mane and Greenwood this week. Ended up with Robbo and DCL instead.

    18. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I just hate the tc chip, never ever I get points from my tc. Only time I got 10+ was Payet when he had a double GW few seasons ago...

    19. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If you'd told be Alli & Vardy >> Mané & Deeney would be a fail this GW, I would not have expected the punishment that way around.

    20. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Anybody knows why mane went off? Type of injury?

      1. Laserface

      That's the big story of the week then. Mane

      Will dominate chat for the next week

          Not a hope.
