Should Fantasy managers ever ‘triple up’ on a team?

The 2014/15 FPL champion, Simon March, asks if owning three players from the same Premier League club is advisable.


Fantasy Premier League has seen plenty of iconic duos: Carroll and Barton, Drogba and Lampard, Vardy and Mahrez, the list goes on. These are players who, while playing in the same team, both managed to score substantial points and frequently combined to score those points by assisting each other’s goals. If you had both in your FPL team at their peak, chances are you were doing well. Everyone loves a good double-up.

But what about triple-ups? They’re popular, too, but is it really a good idea to select three players from the same team? That’s the question I’ll be discussing this week.

Among the few firm rules that I rigidly observe in FPL is this: ‘Never triple up on a team who are likely to finish mid-table or below’. I learned this lesson in the 2015/16 season when my title defence was upended early on by my now-curious decision to Wildcard in three Swansea players (though, in my defence, this was a popular move at the time) just before they went from surprise early-season title candidates to winning just two games in their next 17. In my opinion, mid-to-lower table teams will rarely, if ever, sustain the form required to justify owning three (non-bench fodder) players or, indeed, they would not be mid-to-lower table teams.

While I’m unlikely to be talked out of this position personally, the question of whether tripling-up on any team is a good idea is more controversial.

On one hand, you have the philosophy that, if a team tends to score more goals than anybody else, and/or keeps more clean sheets, as per Liverpool or Manchester City in the past few seasons, it’s a good idea to have as many players from that team as possible. There is no doubt that, at times, this is a good move and, those who do time it correctly will no doubt profit as a result. Where such a team has a Double Gameweek, there’s even more reason to believe in the potential of a triple-up.

There are, however, a few problems associated with tripling up with players from the top teams. Firstly, it tends to be expensive. Man City may, for example, score more goals than most teams this season and they might also keep more clean sheets, but to triple up on them could cost 25-30%+ of your overall budget. At that point, the question is no longer just: ‘Will they score me enough points?’ It becomes: ‘Will the rest of my team be good enough to compensate if they don’t?’ There’s usually a good chance that a savvy FPL manager can find similar returns for less if they shop around.

The big exception to all of this is when a team who were expected to be mid-to-lower table end up performing really well throughout the whole season. The most obvious example of this phenomenon is 2015/16 title-winners Leicester from which you could purchase three of the highest-scoring players in the game that season for roughly the price of a McDonald’s Happy Meal. Of course, such teams are most notable by their rarity.

Why else could tripling up be ill-advised? One suggestion lies in the mechanics of how scoring occurs in football generally. A player scoring is always the product of their own ability to score, their team’s ability to provide them with opportunities to score and their opposition’s ability (or inability) to stop them from scoring. However, there is also a temporal aspect to this equation. A match only has 90 minutes (or sometimes 100 minutes if you’re a certain Manchester-based club…) and, thus, your triple-ups are sharing that time between them. They cannot all score points at once even if two combine for a goal and, therefore, their ability to score is naturally limited. This might not be a problem if the team they play for scores loads of goals every match, but history tells us that this is not sustainable over time, even for the very best teams. Players and teams go in and out of form, fixtures become more difficult and, when you triple up, all three of your players are affected by these same conditions.

This issue may be less true of defenders as clean sheet points are attributed equally across a defensive line. However, as a result of this, their point-scoring potential is interdependent, one goal conceded affects them all. Over a long enough period of time, this might not matter in terms of points scored (i.e. Liverpool defenders may keep the most clean sheets in total over a season) but, again, this raises the question of value for money and, particularly, whether the funds tied up in expensive defenders could benefit your team more if invested elsewhere, or by being more liquid.

How Liverpool's defensive assets compare after their FPL price changes

Finally, while some believe that having multiple players from a single team means they are likely to get some points whatever happens, the opposite could actually be true. Because they share many of the same conditions, teammates may be more prone to rotation at the same time (e.g. ahead of a big Champions League match), illness (think Spurs and ‘Lasagna-Gate’), expected or unexpected match cancellations (…sigh), tough fixtures or even just teams losing form, as even the best ones will sometimes do. Tripling up will always compound these kinds of risks.

In conclusion, while I am not personally a big fan of tripling up on players from a single team, I can see that there are instances when it can pay off, if timed correctly. There are also exceptional circumstances where it can be a practically essential, no-brainer, value move (e.g. Leicester 15/16) to have three players from the same team. Tripling up in a Double Gameweek or Blank Gameweek may also be well worthwhile and, finally, some of the limitations that apply to attacking players in a triple-up may not apply as much to defenders, making a defensive double or triple-up arguably more of a viable move. 

However, by virtue of the players all sharing the same conditions and constraints on scoring and the typically high cost of tripling up on the best teams, the practice of tripling up in FPL will almost always be a higher-risk strategy that, as a result, is less likely to pay off over time than a broader and more flexible strategy.

In my eyes triple-ups are a lot like buying an expensive goalkeeper; it makes sense at the time, they’ll probably score you some points, but give it a few weeks and you’ll always start to think whether you could be doing something better with the money.


Simon is a former FPL world champion, claiming the coveted price in 2014/15. But there is more to this man than one season of good fortune. Since 2009, Simon has finished in the top 7k four times, only ending up outside the world’s top 60k once in an 11-campaign career.

    A) Son ---> KDB
    B) Grealish ---> Mahrez
    C) Grealish + Son ---> KDB + Mahrez

    Other suggestions??

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years

      Looks fine to me. Maybe Ziyech to Mahrez?

    2. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      I would do A. Keep KDB long term.
      C could be good too. If you’re chasing.

  5. ball c

    Any reason to pick Werner over Jesus?
    Already have KDB and Sterling.
    Only other Chelsea cover is James.

      If you think Aguero will be back soon.

    2. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Jesus more likely to start than werner but werner is more likely to start than sterling.
      IMO Jesus is fine.

  6. yanky

    son > kdb worth -4?

    a) podence > mahrez (c)
    b) son podence > kdb(c) mahrez

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Could backfire with Son facing Arsenal. I would do A

  7. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Would you do this for -4?
    Saiss/Grealish --> James/Mahrez
    This would allow Mahrez to Salah in GW12.

    1. KUN+10
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not a fan of getting rid of Grealish, but good moves

      1. DycheDycheBaby

        yeah but can always get him back in a couple of weeks

        Price could be locked because of no match. No one knows exactly how price changes work.

        1. ZimZalabim
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          If its locked he will be re set tomorrow once the game updates right ? so I'm guessing he will drop back to 0 and then likely no fall at all for grealish.

          1. DeadStarComing

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          What about Fernandez, Almiron and Longstaff in that list?

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

            The point I’m making is price changes make no logical sense under scrutiny. I find it slightly amusing people try and work them out. Whenever one or two players don’t change that should the old “must be wildcards” argument is used.

    7. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years

      Damn. I was hoping Meslier wouldn't go up until tomorrow so I could wait to buy him.

      1. All about the galacticos
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I was going to let fate decide, if he stayed at 4.5m then it's a possible transfer, if ryan dropped would have brought him in.
        it's now johnstone to bank 0.1m, or mccarthy

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah. I’ve got Ryan as my backup GK and was going to transfer Meslier in for him.

          1. All about the galacticos
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            ryan is pretty poor keeper, but good fixtures. I was thinking they may turn a corner
            I wouldn't use transfers for GK unless totally necessary

            1. Amartey Partey
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah that’s true. He’s got a few decent ones coming up and Brighton do play 5 at the back.

      One last parting gift from DCL. A loyal servant. Made a cool 0.5m, but it's his last GW for me

        Wow, 4 of that lot. Got Mahrez last night even though he was nowhere near a price rise, and Meslier will be on my bench this week.

      Mahrez and Jesus rising is annoying despite not wanting them this week. Shame Dunne fell but nice to see DCL and Meslier rise.

  11. Crouch Potato

    After lots of FH juggling I have gone dizzy and have arrived at this, any thoughts appreciated,

    McCarthy,
    Walker, Furlong, James,
    KDB(c) , Mahrez, Jota, Son, Fernandes
    Kane. Abraham.

    Forster, Kilman, Williams, Davis

        I notice there are concerns about him, I'm not sure why he won't. I reckon I'll stick with him. GL.

        1. HashAttack
          • 7 Years

          Giroud's 4 goals midweek - also if Werner plays up top as everyone is now fit

      Rather go Vardy over Kane and upgrade Furlong

      1. Crouch Potato
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers, haven't been to impressed with Leicester of late, Vardy is a class act though if he gets the service he'll deliver.

    4. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      DCL Ziyech chillwell/PVA instead of Abraham Son Furlong?

    5. scubasmithy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      don't use your free hit is my advice...you may regret it come 18/19.

    Who will Wolves be starting up front?

    1. The Hunt
      • 14 Years

      Boly. Should nod in the odd goal imo.

    2. All about the galacticos

      Expect Neto or Traore

  13. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years

    Salah and Grealish to Jota & Fernandes worth doing?

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      You’ll want Salah and Grealish back next week

    Castagne>Mendy worth a punt?

    Every week Castagne is supposed to be back and never returns

    1. boroie
      • 5 Years

      Not Mendy... only a matter of time before he is injured/rotated.

    Already regretting, did Martinez Grealish to Johnstone Mahrez.

    Next week i go keeperless i guess? Because of possible Newcastle-WBA postponement?

    Here is my lineup:

    Johnstone
    Cancelo Chilwell Vestergaard Justin
    KDB Bruno Mahrez Ziyech Jota
    Vardy
    Forster Bamford Coufal Watkins

    What do you guys think?

  16. boroie
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Current team with no transfers remaining:

    McCarthy
    Chilwell Cancelo* N.Williams
    KDB(C) Fernandes Mane Soucek
    Vardy(VC) DCL Watkins*

    Forster; Coufal Bissouma Targett

    Is this worth an 8 point hit?
    Cancelo -> Dias
    Watkins -> Adams

    1. Peaky Blinders
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. boroie
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        What would you do in my position?

        1. scubasmithy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Ok, So cancelo and williams aren't ideal, but let it roll, you have a good team beyond that. I'd be tempted to bring in Dallas or James for a -4 for Cancelo but probably best to leave it.

  17. melvinmbabazi

    Son to Mahrez for free yes or no?

    1. yanky
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes

    2. boroie
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I really wanted Mahrez but decided against it as it's a very short term move. I've made a few short term moves recently and it's caused me a lot of bother now.

    3. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No.

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

      Yes, alas I have no room for Marhrez with Salah, KDB, Bruno and Grealish my preferred 4, jota also a concern

    What are Mitchell's chances of starting?

    1. Mile Plankton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No chance. PVA is the first choice.

    2. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mitchell is 2nd choice. Might play in festives to give PVA a breather

      He was not bad when he played, he just doesn’t produce the same offense and threat down the flank

      slim, PVA offers more attack but palace have been letting in more goals.
      There was talk a while back of possibility of PVA (on wing) and mitchell both starting.

        PVA unleashed could be legendary for FPL

        They were solid at the back with TM playing

    My Jota + Brewster to Soucek + Wilson move was unfortunately timed it seems.

      You sold Jota?!

    2. Camino Aleatorio

      Soucek might do something he’s a war horse

    What time do the price changes happen guys?

  26. MOZIL

    Why would Torres start ahead of Sterling this week? Torres played so many games recently

    1. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I fancy Sterling to start but you could also argue that Torres is starting so many games because Pep likes him. And the Fulham match is more important than a pointless UCL game in mid-week

      1. MOZIL
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        then Sterling would definitely start this week no? Sterling > Torres

        1. tm370
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Well my point was that maybe Pep prefers Torres currently so therefore is more likely to use him in the game that matters (i.e Fulham). But as I said, I expect Sterling starts.

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Foden could start over both

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

      To Pep and MCI leaders, the UCL is a precious priority

      They are not punishing Sterling or not preferring him. They keeping a primary weapon fresh for a major title.

      Also developing a potential phenomenon in Torres. All good things from the coach perspective but maddening for FPL

    Check out this crazy -4 I just took....

    Grealish to Mahrez
    +
    Kane to Jesus

    You'd think I'd know better with all the good work and rank rise I've achieved in the last few weeks but no!!

    Team looks like this;

    Martinez
    James Lamptey Robertson
    Bruno Son Jota Mahrez
    DCL Vardy Jesus(C)

    Forster Coufal Burke Dunne

    1. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      If both started, I'd captain Mahrez above Jesus

      1. Balls of Steel
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. I feel that it's Jesus turn this week to break into double digits...he bagged a brace last time City met Fulham in the Cup in January!

        1. All about the galacticos
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Maybe a good call. As we know from burnley 5-0, history often repeats itself

          1. Balls of Steel
            • 8 Years

            And I'm not a holy man 🙂

      Bruno

    4. Balls of Steel

      K Bomb but it is hard not to own Bruno.

      Is dumping Son your only option?

  29. Clickzy

    Meslier or McCarthy?

    The price changes are an absolute farce this year

    1. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      don't get me started. i've ranted. fpl stats have players on less than 50% rise, when others above 100% sit there for days.
