Triple-Captaining Erling Haaland in Gameweek Three is a smart Fantasy Premier League move

nytimes.com [$]

Fantasy Premier League managers are increasingly considering using their Triple Captain chip on Erling Haaland for Gameweek Three, a strategy gaining popularity due to his strong form and favorable home fixture against Coventry City. Haaland has scored twice in Gameweek Two and leads key goal-threat metrics, while Manchester City have a free midweek to rest before facing a Coventry side that has lost both opening games and sits 17th. The fixture mirrors Bruno Fernandes's 23-point haul against a promoted team in Gameweek Two. Experts advise against selling Fernandes to fund the move, noting his consistency, and caution that using other chips like Wildcard limits captaincy options. Haaland is considered fully fit, though future fixtures against Ipswich and Hull may offer alternative opportunities.
