It depends a lot on your squad, form, fixtures and whether there’s a **double gameweek** coming up, but here are general guidelines + some names to consider
## ✅ Ideal conditions for using Triple Captain
You want:
* A player who is unlikely to be rotated (i.e. virtually guaranteed to start)
* Strong recent form
* A favorable fixture (weak opponent, home game ideally)
* In a double gameweek (if available) — gives two matches and more upside ([FPL reports][1])
* Good backup (vice‑captain) in case your triple captain doesn’t play ([Thick Accent][2])
Also, in the 2025/26 FPL season, you have **two Triple Captain chips** — one for each half of the season. ([Premier League][3]) So you have more flexibility, and you don’t necessarily have to “save it till the end.” ([Premier League][3])
## ⚽ Players to consider
Typically, the big premium forwards / attacking mids are the safest bets. Some names often discussed:
* **Erling Haaland** — often the favorite, especially in favorable fixtures at home. ([Premier League][3])
* **Mohamed Salah** — if he has two matches or a juicy fixture, he’s a valid option. ([Premier League][4])
* Other candidates: high-scoring midfielders or attackers with good form and favorable schedule (depends on your squad and league)
If you like, I can look at the upcoming fixtures and your squad (or popular players) and suggest who **you personally** should triple captain next. Do you want me to do that?
