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.

    Could see a lot of people rage selling Mane tonight.

  3. TFP

    Is Trent becoming a 'set & forget' captain??

      Noways

  4. Sailboats

    Bought Mane for -4, then TC him. Absolutely gutted right now =(

      That's only a minus 1 now.

        Positive way of looking at it!!

      Horrible luck buddy 🙁

    5. Game&Watch
      • 5 Years

      Did the same. After a few years
      Of FPL, I finally realised Im out..

  5. Game&Watch
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Murphys law is so true. Mane will not play the next game vs West Ham. Im sure. Never playing this game again. Regards, Sane TC last year, Mane this year.

  6. how now brown cow

    This game week is brutal

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A few of us will be finding it quite funny as we know how FPL can kick you in the stones

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

      Every game week is brutal this season

  7. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years

    Have the 3 most popular Pool assets, with C on Mane. My OR has remained virtually unchanged.

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

      If it makes you feel better, I got Salah TC and am currently on a 50k rank drop.

  8. COLLIN QUANER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Glad I captained (S)alah. If Mane is out for the next game, I won't complain!!!

  9. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    maybe Mane TC'd Salah?

    1. white heart pain
      • 13 Years

      Gold

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

    TAA TCers unite, we take an early lead

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

      Ballsy move, fair play

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

      That you will keep.

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

      Fingers crossed it keeps going

    4. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I bottled it. Could be a big error.

    5. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yup. It’s a good start.

    6. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      36 points if it stats like this. Salah's finishing is poor and Bobby not in the game. Wolves dangerous though

    7. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wolves WILL score.

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

      Changed it to Salah minutes before the deadline. Looks like it'll be the worst decision of the season.

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

        Err Mane wins there

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

          Of course; I was referring to my own team.

    9. Greenbackbøøg…

      Thanks for vouching for him your comments swayed me a bit in his favour

    10. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Indeed we do but there is a long way to go.

    11. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I laugh at you all with TAA(c) Robbo and VVD.

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

        If they keep a CS tonight, let us know your rank change. Fair play if it comes off

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

      Had it on him till the last minute, no need to tell you who I changed it too!

  11. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Salah to blank tonight. Rested against West Ham.

    Mane to get 2x goals against West Ham.

    Imagine lol.

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

      I'd rather not..

  12. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Bloody hell Mane (TC)

    Where is that bottle of whiskey

  13. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Don't forget FPL is just statistics and luck. Not much you can do one you've made statistically the right choice. Try again next week and hope you're lucky by the end of the season.

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

      What about if you're never lucky?

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Everyone's luck is equal but usually only remember the bad times. Good luck is disguised as skill so never feels lucky.

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

      Spot on. People seem to think it's all about being a footballing stats genius. Make your choice and pray it goes well

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

      I get you. But there is a captain fail and there is a triple captain fail in a double gameweek. That's gutting for owners. But the peaks and troughs are what make FPL I agree!

  14. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Irbox in heaven

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      He's dead?

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      More like a home

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

    The reason I went Mane over TAA for the TC was because I thought Trent was more injury prone, FML! I just don't understand how my VC outscores my captain every week for two seasons?

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

      When was the last time Trent was injured?

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

      We're cursed bro 😀

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

        I just don't get it, surely it should change over the course of two/three seasons?

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

    Bien Sports saying Mane said 'hamstring' to club doctor

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Are you sure he didn't ask for a packet of cheese strings?

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

      Maybe the physio has a hamstring problem.

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe, “banjo string”?

    4. Herman Toothrot

      He actually said "Glamdring"

      He has a habit of naming weapons from Lord of The Rings.

      Mine too - and he's on the bench.

      DCL for me

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years

        DCL isn't a DGW player.

    My rival who WhatsApp messages me everytime his players get jammy scores is silent tonight. messaged me when my sterling c got a goal disallowed last minute v Chelsea, was loud when his pope got a pen save, loud when rashford got a double v norwich

    I stayed calm and waited for my moment. Sent him loads of WhatsApp messages about his mane triple c and he's not answering even though he viewed them

    This is what FPL is all about

      • Lazaretti

        Hey its still three (3) points. Imagine if it would have been red for that tackle in the first half.

        • 13 Years

        he sounds like an amateur, in his position i'd have turned read receipts off the second Mane started to limp.

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

      Imagine the scenes.. Salah scores gets a good haul Tcers delighted. Salah rested for next league game and Mane some how recovers and scores a hatty.. I can dream right ?

    3. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      DGW’s for me lately are a bit like going on a date & ending up being sorely disappointed. Seven players on 1pt. Can anyone beat this? Still got Trent on TC but dear oh dear....

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Even though Mane injury was bad luck, it is still acceptable, IMO, to say things like "F**k Mane for ruining my GW".

      In the same way it is acceptable, IMO, to celebrate Mane TC / C bad luck.

    5. N00B
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Gj Salah TC-ers! We won. 12 pts are better than 3pts.

      1. Herman Toothrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That early goal will be good for salah.

      Wolves will open up. They want to win or draw.
      Liverpool needs a second.

      Salah will score or assist 110%

          ‘They want to win or draw’ lol

    8. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Watching half time highlights, does Mane touch the ball before Henderson heads in?

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

        Nope

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

        I did not see it. But yes give me the goal, I need that dang goal cause he's my captain.

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

        No but was very close it!

      4. Demba Demba

        Wow that’s severe desperation right there

    9. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks like groin injury for Mane,can walk freely

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

      Best captain would be a better chip. People who have tripled salah V people who have tripled mane could end up more than an average gameweek score. The game is mostly skill with a large chunk of luck but this chip is too much

      1. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Best captain would be used by everyone in the same DGW most likely, and in most cases make it pointless. As silly as it might sound, luck needs to be a part of this game. Goes both ways.

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

          Good point on everyone getting the same. I just don’t like the chip tbh!

    11. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years

      Where are my Sane, Mane, Duffy TC's at?

      So ridiculous. 😆

    12. Yome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Suprised to see Mane cpataincy higher than Salah in Top 10k. Salah has been the better player lately.

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

        How long is lately though?

    13. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      9 points for Salah TCers if it stays like this. 6 more than Mane 😀

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years

        the dream

        I was so close to hitting the button. Stings enough that he’s normal captain

      4. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years

        Plus another game, unless it is just illness

      5. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years

        That's a win already.but just one goal would be awesome

        Mo to miss pen and be outscored.

          • 11 Years

          Would not be surprised.

          that's very much on the cards...
