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.

      Balls. Didn't captain but that's harsh luck. Saying that he'll come off the bench next week and outscore Mo no doubt

    Not a sulk but really need a season off from this. 🙂

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      you think you could/would?

      I don't think I could tbh

    2. beric

      I had a few years off, back this year and really enjoying it again

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Also im not doing great this year

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

      Just do a set and forget team at the start next season and will prob end with your highest rank lol

    The most infuriating part of this game is no matter how much you look into stats, form, fixtures it is ultimately out of your control. Mane was a good pick this week and now its looking so bleak . Why bother putting effort into this game at all...

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah was a better pick

      1. Cant fit my Willian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        They were evenly matched in terms of recent form. Not really a fair criticism.

      2. Warbling Wendy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You knew Salah had the strong hamstring this week, well played

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      annoying yes, but if Salah blanks it's hardly a season ender

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That is why I don't put loads of effort in. It is a free game that I play for fun. I like the banter on the FFS forum, especially on match days.

    4. Demba Demba
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Works both ways tho, nobody complains when a benched player randomly hauls and is auto subbed in, football itself is a lot of skill and an element of luck too like this game

    Is this game week over yet?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No.
      Another 45mins tonight

      Then another 90mins in 6 days.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No 6 more days to go.

    3. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not for 6 days 🙂

    4. Forever In Our Shadow

      Oh dear. Yet more pain and nothing to sooth it.

    Well at least the site is getting good traffic!

    1. Fred54

      The author of that book may get one order at least.

  7. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Wasted my TC chip on Mane and probably going to have to waste my WC chip this week with Vardy, Abraham, Mane injured too. That escalated quickly. And I just got rid of fabianski and Rashford last week too

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Relax buddy.
      Don't panic ....

    2. Wag the Drog
      • 12 Years

      none of these players are confirmed injured for next gw

    3. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      take the -4/-8 if needed

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    To be fair mane should have an assist, it brushed his head I think

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Will be added

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

      Seriously?

  9. POZZY
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hammy injury for Mane. Could be sidelined for more than a week maybe?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think its foot injury.

    2. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully

      1. Ci Siamo
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ban

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

      Or less than a week maybe...

    4. Demba Demba
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Literally nobody knows

  10. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    As it stands even a Salah assist would be lovely

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I pray for this

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      To Firmino?

  11. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I hope we get clear information on Mane. Salad easy replacement for me if he's out for long

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      On a diet?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah.
        Points diet 😀

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah. Mane to son for me

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nice

    3. Aftermath
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah thinking the same but that TC stings 🙁

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yep
        I'm used to it
        Sane last season

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Same here. And Kane for a 3 pointer the year before that. Don't think my TC has ever gotten points 😀

    4. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mane to son, vardy to kun

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Got Sonny already. Let's see how long he's out for. Might get salah if not priced out

  12. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I have a feeling Salah will go off with hamstring as well... 🙁

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wash your mouth out!

  13. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    One goal from Salah(TC) and im more than happy

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I will take getting to 60 and if greedy a cs

    2. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      even an assist would be lovely.

  14. andres
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If Mane out, Rash out, Vardy potentially as well....

    What are you guys doing with all that cash?!

    3. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Was gonna go Vardy - Aubameyang, but that seems ill-advised now

    4. Hitmonlee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mane and Vardy won’t be out long. Looks minor (he says)

    5. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

      95% ownership and captain by next gameweek

      Then the 95% get Pepped.

    6. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Keeping Salah. Double Liverpool defence. Son. Dont need strikers in my team

  15. Ibra
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Would you WC this team?

    Gazza
    TAA - Lund - Kelly
    Salah - Mane - KDB - Grealish - Martial
    Vardy - Ings

    Button - Greenwood - Rico - Williams

    Vardy and Mane might be out next gw, Gazza is dropped and Martial is horrible..

    1. Agger
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Deactivate

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you have only 1 FT and if Mane and Vardy are both out, then maybe but would wait for more news.

  16. Camino Aleatorio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What this league NEEDS is Salah to be Red Carded and hurt next half....

    Liverpool loses four games in a row and we have a decently competitive title race again.

    1. Aftermath
      • 8 Years

      Jesus get some help man

      Wow

    a song for Mane TC'ers
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY-aICbBt2Y
    its a sick song to be fair 🙂

    1. beric

      Well i listened for 4 secs and can confirm, awful music

      1. have you seen cyan

  18. Albrightondknight

    • 8 Years

    Why are DAZN in Canada showing a highlight reel of Mane goals - talking about salt in wounds of TC

  19. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Those two decent chances for Salah, Mane wud have done much better with them

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That’s what hurts even more, I feel mane was more likely to score this game

  20. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So as things stand I still don’t have very Mané points

  21. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Mane not playing is a negative for all Pool assets.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Nah. Origi can step up. Seen it before.

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

      Their B team beat Everton, they will be fine with Origi/Minamino.

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

      My captain too, atleast he is clinical so might only need one touch to score (hopefully)

  26. UpAndAway
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Back-to-back horror stories of TC players around this time of the year. Sane last year and now Mane injured. I'll be holding my TC and playing it as late as possible from now on as I have in the past.

    Yes, I know luck plays a huge role - but it's a horrible feeling.

    FWIW - I think Mane misses the West Ham game. He has an obvious muscle injury.

    1. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …

      Avoid left wingers too.

      1. UpAndAway
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I TC Mane last season and got two goals and a decent haul. It's just how the game goes.

    2. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You're Lucky. I've gone Kane, Sane, Mane and took a hit to bring Mane in that included removing Periera for Tanganga as an enabler.

  27. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years

    Cmon Minamino win penalty for Salah

  28. stuarto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    If it is minor he could be back for Southampton. Should I hold of switch to Salah? I’ve gone without the Egyptian all season

  29. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …

    If it remains at 0-1, the TAA TC =33.

    I suspect Mane has a Grade 1 Muscle Strain.
