Gameweek 25 Tips: Fantasy Premier League (FPL) - Going big on City could bring double delight!

Pundit tips

Do you play your triple captain chip? I gave you my strategy for navigating this double GW in last week’s preview so this week it’s do you play your triple captain?

There are many chip strategies out there – the one I plan to follow (as laid out by @PlanetFPLPod in their Series 2 – Episode 38 podcast) is below:

Free Hit – DGW32

2nd Wildcard – GW34

Bench Boost – DGW35

Meaning there may well be no better time to play your triple captain to take advantage of a Double Gameweek (DGW) this season! I heard on @DiveFPL podcast this week there was only around a 40% chance that Chelsea will have a DGW outside of current scheduling.

There is a slight chance they’ll have a triple GW to come – but even if that were to happen I could only really see players like Kepa or Kante (Maybe Rudiger/Luiz) playing full 90 all 3 games. And if Chelsea go deep into the FA Cup and/or Europa League then they will likely rest their assets in the Premier League to focus on getting Sarri his first piece of silverware!

Added to this – you will only really consider Hazard (or maybe Higuaín if he hits form) for the triple and with how much he’s trolled this season I still don’t think you’d feel super confident. So in my mind, this week could be a great opportunity to stick the chip on Sané, Aguero or Sterling – who I’m confident will feature in each game!

For what it’s worth – keep your eyes peeled on my Twitter account on Saturday morning to see if I’ll play my Triple Captain this week!
