More than 412,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have Triple-Captained Alexander Isak (£9.5m) for Double Gameweek 32 (DGW32), the 10th-highest total of all time.
Newcastle United host Manchester United on Sunday before entertaining Crystal Palace on Wednesday, giving Isak two opportunities to reward his backers, and the Triple Captain chip means he will get THREE times his normal score.
DGW32 most Triple-Captained players
Player | Triple-Captained by | Pts |
---|---|---|
Isak | 412,981 | - |
Salah | 10,869 | - |
Murphy | 10,565 | - |
Mateta | 4,369 | 1 |
Palmer | 1,439 | - |
With a match against one of his favourite opponents, Mohamed Salah (£13.8m) is the main differential choice for those using their Triple Captain chip.
Liverpool entertain West Ham United on Sunday, a team Salah has produced six double-figure hauls against, the most he's totalled out of all 33 Premier League opponents faced.
Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.8m) also features among the top five Triple Captains. Palace are the other team to play twice in DGW32, visiting Manchester City before their midweek trip to Newcastle.
Disappointingly for his new owners, Mateta was withdrawn at half-time as the Eagles lost 5-2 at the Etihad Stadium, opening his DGW32 account with a single point.
Elsewhere, a dip in form has seen Cole Palmer (£10.7m) Triple-Captained by just 1,439 managers for Chelsea's appealing home encounter with Ipswich Town. Palmer has been sold by nearly three million people over the last four Gameweeks having produced just one attacking return in six appearances.
How many chips have been used in total?
Triple Captain is the most-used chip for DGW32, played by over 447,000 managers overall, with 92 per cent of them selecting Isak.
The number of active Assistant Manager chips has increased to over 838,000 as another 286,000+ deployed it.
DGW32 chips played
Chip | Used by |
---|---|
Triple Captain | 447,125 |
Assistant Manager | 286,588 |
Wildcard | 279,508 |
Bench Boost | 208,952 |
Free Hit | 77,639 |
The current three-Gameweek period for which the chip is active covers back-to-back Double Gameweeks, as four teams play twice in the next round. This means Fantasy bosses could get up to five matches for their Assistant Manager.
Indeed, those with Oliver Glasner (£0.8m) benefit from four matches in the next two rounds, with Crystal Palace also playing twice in DGW33. The Austrian picked up two points from his first game in that sequence.
For the second successive Gameweek, Eddie Howe (£1.5m) is the top Assistant Manager, seeing his ownership increase to over 320,000.
GW32 most-selected Assistant Managers
Assistant Manager | Selected by | Pts |
---|---|---|
Howe | 320,261 | - |
Glasner | 225,381 | 2 |
Slot | 114,665 | - |
Arteta | 42,385 | 4 |
Emery | 33,971 | - |
Who are the most-bought players?
Newcastle's two home encounters have prompted managers to load up on Newcastle players, with over 2.6million recruiting one of Howe's men.
Following his season-high return of 16 points, Jacob Murphy (£5.2m) is DGW32's most-bought player.

Murphy | 979,969 | - |
Mateta | 698,436 | 1 |
Rogers | 476,029 | 6 |
Livramento | 469,020 | - |
Munoz | 440,172 | 0 |
Like Mateta's owners, those who own his Palace team-mate Daniel Munoz (£5.2m) endured disappointment as the wing-back got zero points against Man City, his lowest score of the season.
The 440,000+ who bought him will now be crossing their fingers for a repeat of his Gameweek 13 haul against Newcastle, when he scored and claimed maximum bonus for an 11-point return.
Morgan Rogers (£5.6m) continued to rise in popularity ahead of Aston Villa's game at Southampton and is now found in nearly 22 per cent of teams.
He supplied an assist as Villa won 3-0 taking his tally over his last three outings up to 25 points. Rogers is currently the best-value midfielder in Fantasy having returned 24.6 points per million spent.
Tino Livramento (£4.6m) made his way into more than 469,000 teams following his first double-digit return of the campaign. A switch to left-back in Gameweek 28 has improved his chance creation: six key passes and one assist have arrived in that time.
Who are the most-sold players?
Among the most-sold players, Chris Wood (£7.0m) recovered to make the Nottingham Forest starting XI for their meeting with Everton. The New Zealand international missed two games after injuring his hip during the international break.
His sellers had no cause for regret, however, as Forest lost 1-0 and Wood failed to muster a shot.
