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.

    Thrilled yesterday with a 100k jump to 150k.
    Team all set up with Salah, Taa and Mane TC.
    Well, this really hurts. Getting nothing out of the game is one thing, but injured and (maybe) missing whu game as well is just plain awful.

      Injury looking bad ??

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

        No not really, will have to wait for news.

      2. Muchentuchel

        yep, almost 100% hamstring.

      3. DA Minnion (Former great)

        Not even sure it is an injury.

    TC fails for the last three years

    Kane, Sane, ...Mane? In a way we've been warned

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

      Had Sterling hast year (0+3)*3. Can't remember the year before but could have been Kane.
      Should have gone for Salah TC after I bought him in.

    2. ZaZaZu

      I think the sensible choice for TC when it comes around (which isn't very often) is a defender. TAA is the second highest assist maker in the league, Liverpool are keeping clean sheets so he just looks the sensible choice. Even one clean sheet will be 24 points in most cases.

    I normally hate short corners but Wolves are using it nicely so far.

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

      Ive seen only 2 goals ever scored from short corners...theyre stupid.

    Need a Salah hatty to save my sesson

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It will come

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I will take 3 goals over 2 games

  5. FPL Daniel

    Mane injured. Same as my best season Zamora vs Dempsey after captain America exploded.

    Fully expect Salah to do the same and have a mega haul

      Clint always came through on a DGW (it felt any way)

  6. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I've been playing FPL for some years now everytime I forgot to activate the TC chip it's been a brilliant season....

    Mane not looking a great Triple Captain pick this GW, imo.

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

      Signs were there
      Was high up on the injury imminent table in the members area

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

      Also 2 goals in last 8 games incl. today

    Come on Mo. Do the business please. Hope Mane is OK for all of you who had something on him. I've been in that position of hoping for a big score from a player and it going south.

    What an anticlimax

  10. Monya Meow Meow

    I comfort myself by saying "it's just a game"

    1. kennethrhcp

    Van Dijk is such a beast..effortlessly good

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

      Best player in the league

  12. Hazz

    Well done Liverpool defender captain-ers - it really was the sensible choice!

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

      Indeed. Red arrow for us Salah and Mané TCers.

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

      I had a feeling...and I rarely have feelings about Cap choices, let alone Trips Cap.

  13. KGFC

    Will VVD go off too now??

  14. Sun Jihai

    It is 2am in india didn't slept just to watch the performance of Mane & liverpool but all my craze to watch the match is gone how shittt is the luck.Gn

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same.. Now all I want is for Liverpool to not score and not get CSs in this game and the next to mitigate the damage of the other TCers

  16. Qaiss

    4 years, 2 months ago

    Only a game all, remember that. That is just pureee luck and so unfortunate.

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

      It’s funny how there’s always someone here to rub it in. Bants!

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

        I’m a Mane TCer around a 30k tank. It literally is only a game that does nothing for you, chill tf out

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

          Rank

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

      Yep

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

      Arent you one of the people who always whine when I say the game is pure luck?

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

        The game isn’t pure luck. There’s 38 weeks. You’re clearly just not very good at it if you think that. And yeah Mane going off early in a DGW is luck.

  17. supperspout

    Remember back in 2020 when mane TC backfired?

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years

      I 'member.

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

      I got 3 PTS from a Kane TC last year.

      Pocchetino had him playing sweeper with Moura and Son playing forward

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

      Where's the Member Berries when you need them?

  18. Agger
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Salah price rise incoming

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

    Anybody else TC TAA :)?

  20. Camino Aleatorio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    To balance things out, I need a Salah red card

    This is garbage for Mane owners, shows that 25% to 45% of OR results are simple dang luck. No skill, just lucky Basturks getting ahead.

    I guess I’m lucky to have a good looking wife.

    1. Monya Meow Meow
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep same here, just a game I say to myself

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

      Yep. FPL is mostly luck. 35% skill 65% luck I'd guess.

    3. supperspout
      • 11 Years

      Pics?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years

  21. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I knew I should have done Mane > Salah

  22. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Mane being injured in a DGW feels like a punch in the gut.

  23. beetlejuice

  28. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years

    Boy, that Mane > Salah move last week just paid off in a major way. Gutted on the behalf of #10's owners, but not TOO gutted 😉

  29. Monkey Hanger

    Traore making VVD look like a softie.
