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.

    I’m thinking Mane has the runs. Evident from the back and forth squatting before exciting for the loo.
    Fit for next match, Salah then out with TAA.

      ya seems like its something like that, runs or the spins must have been ill before the game, didnt look like any injury and they didnt treat him at all so it was something they knew about I think

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years

        Yeah I saw physio handing him a toilet roll on way down the tunnel.

    2. Free Hat
      • 5 Years

      Hope so.
      He seemed rather fit and good to go on the field.

      Should have done a Lineker and then get on with it

    Not sure why everyone is saying the season is over. Salah done nothing yet.

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

      He'll score a brace in the 2nd half.

        I hope so - I have mane, TAA and Salah (TC)

    FPL is what happens to you while you’re busy making transfer plans.

    Mane simply burnt out by Klopp?

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Why is this always everyones go to whenever anyone gets injured.

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Not imo. He hasn't played that much.

    MBP actually knows and deserves the credit!

  6. TheTinman

    It does appear Wolves will score. Fingers crossed they don’t.

      Don't think so.Van too good

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 2 months ago

          He is, but he can't cover absolutely everything

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Feel for Mane owners (to a certain extent). Have always said he is rubbish and the TC was a waste on an inferior option to Salah. Shame that he got injured but was a strange decision to give him the armband

          Actually think Mané is a better overall player.

      Jiminez hat-trick incoming

        I'd love that as a Jimi owner.

        1. Jindaljain

          As a Mane owner i want that not an jiminez owner

            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Shame about Mané; went back and forth between him, Salah and TAA. Ended up with Salah (not that he's doing much though)

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years

        Hope not, finally sold this week. Though may buy back if Vardy out long

        Yeah. Deserved credit. Gets a lot of flack on here. If you are going to beat them when it goes wrong then you also have to praise them when it goes well.

    5. Aftermath

      Hoping that mane is alright for West Ham game although chances looking slim as klopp wouldn't want to risk him. Fingers crossed

      1. beric

        Get a grip. Stop playing a game youve no control over in that case. Mental illness and suicide are serious issues and shouldnt be used in parlance over a stupid thing like a player going off early in a foorball match.

      8. Miniboss
        • 5 Years

        No you didn’t and suicide is no joke you donk

      DGW fever strikes again. Took a hit to get Mane in for Alli.

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

        Same. Deeney cushioned the blow fortunately, especially as it was for Vardy.

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

        I went Mane & Soyuncu over Son & Alli - it’s going to get ugly

      3. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years

        hi your my polar opposite, was going to get Mane until I realised Alli had Norwich. Did Vardy>Bobby instead

      The fact I did TAA to Mane TC last minute and ain't even bothered shows how much I'm enjoying the game this year :p. Rather laugh than cry

        V unlucky mate.

        I took myself off to the SU for a pint before deadline so I wouldn’t fret and bottle it. Missed a trick with Ings being out but oh well.

    14. Arteta
      • 8 Years

      Rico's haul as first sub laughing at me. He outscored everyone except KDB, TAA and (hopefully) Salah.
      Un-f***ing-real.

      • 12 Years

      That Henderson header was going wide until it was deflected in. Just saw the angle from behind the Action and it's a clear og. Has to get changed when they realise

      I have TC Salah and my rivals saved their chip but captained Mane.
      Happy at First glance but Pool looked weak without Mane and now wish i had saved the chip.
      If it ends 0-1, i dont know, who came of worse.

      1. TheDragon

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Nobody knows what it was, but subbed fairly quickly.

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

        Would surprice me if he's ready for West Ham game.

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

        He was supposed to chase down the ball and completely stopped. Then start walking towards bench immediately. Then he went down and got subbed straight away.

    20. Agger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's going to hurt you all even more if Salah gets a return..

    21. Londongeezaa
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah TC here.

      I’ll take a clean sheet bonus and the 9 points with a game to go.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years

        I wouldn't

      2. Gudjohnsen

        Not for me. I want a goal tonight.

    22. Naby K8a
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Suspect Mané had an injury going into the game as Mané signalled immediately and Liverpool had the change ready without looking too surprised what was wrong.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Either that or he wasn't feeling well, like you say they didn't seem surprised

        1. Naby K8a
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Think you might be right

    23. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      Unlucky Mane TCers. Some things go beyond planning etc. Harsh but that's FPL for you.

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years

        exactly

        just take it on the chin

          This, frustrating but only a game.

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

      Mane went off to take the first cab to FPL towers to claim the assist.

        Liverpool fans were in bits when MIlner got injured

        They are going to be inconsolable tonight
