FPL players have found the perfect team to ‘triple up’ on, but only the bravest managers will take the risk!
Fantasy Premier League players are always looking for smart ways to get ahead of their friends and climb the leaderboards—whether that’s in friendly leagues, nationally, or worldwide. Recently, one player shared a bold idea: to ‘triple up’ on players from the same club after checking out their upcoming games.
But this is definitely for brave managers, since the team hasn’t won a Premier League match yet.
On X (formerly Twitter), one FPL fan said they plan to triple captain a player from this struggling team to rack up big points. Bournemouth, along with Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham, haven’t won a league game this season yet. However, Bournemouth has what many consider a series of easier matches coming up.
In the next 11 games, six are seen as easy, with just two tough matches against Manchester United and Arsenal. Some fans think Bournemouth might even surprise United since the Red Devils have had a tricky schedule recently.
Bournemouth’s next game is at home against Sunderland. Although Sunderland have been strong lately, their away form has been weak—they haven’t won on the road yet this season and struggled there last year too.
After that, Bournemouth hosts Leeds United. Leeds made a strong showing against Arsenal recently, so they won’t be an easy opponent. Next week, Bournemouth plays Ipswich Town away, a team that’s been tough to beat and sits 10th with three wins already.
The next three home games look easier on paper, with matches against Brighton, Hull City, and Coventry City. But Brighton and Hull have started well this season, and Coventry are settling back into the top flight, so these won’t be simple games.
Tottenham will be Bournemouth’s last opponent in this set of fixtures, with the match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs have struggled at home in recent years but have been better this season, so this will be a challenging yet winnable game.
While these fixtures seem easier for Bournemouth, they’re tougher than they look for a team still chasing their first win, so any manager choosing this route is taking a big risk.
For those ready to back Bournemouth players, two seem like good picks for triple captain: Marcus Tavernier, the team’s top scorer with 32 points and eight bonus points, though his recent form dipped; and striker Evanilson, who has 25 points and good momentum after scoring seven points last week.
Another option is Rayan, who hasn’t quite matched last season but is still showing promise. He might be the surprise pick to bring in solid points over the next few weeks.
So, it’s a daring plan, but it could pay off for bold FPL managers willing to take the chance!
