Fantasy Premier League players are always aiming to think outside the box to get ahead of their opponents, be that in their ‘friendly’ leagues or on leaderboards looking at their nation and the one measuring around the world.
Now, one individual has suggested a bold strategy to do exactly that, as they have suggested a ‘triple up’ for players of one club after seeing their next few fixtures.
However, only the boldest managers will be willing to select a player from this team, as they have yet to win a game in the Premier League.

Bold choice of triple captain for FPL players across the next few weeks
One FPL player on X, formerly known as Twitter, has suggested that he has the boldest plan to earn a large number of points for his team by suggesting he is going to triple captain a player from a struggling Premier League team.

Bournemouth are yet to collect a win in the league this season, with Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham the other two clubs yet to collect three points from a fixture.
However, the Cherries are set for what the FPL views as a set of ‘easy’ fixtures across the next few weeks.
This week they are set to have six easy matches from their next 11 games, while only having two difficult ties, these being Manchester United and Arsenal. Yet, many fans may be confident Bournemouth could get something from the United game, due to the Red Devils difficult run of fixtures before this clash.
Marco Rose’s side will host Sunderland this upcoming weekend, and while the Black Cats have been strong since their return to the division they have struggled at times on the road. They are yet to win away from home this season, while failing to secure victory in 14 of their 19 fixtures on their travels last campaign.
The next ‘easy’ fixture is deemed to be Leeds United at home; however, as demonstrated by their performance at the Emirates Stadium this weekend, the Yorkshire side will not be there for the taking.
Bournemouth would then face Ipswich Town away from home the following week, and while the FPL believes it to be easy, the Tractor Boys have been tough to beat this season, sitting 10th in the division with three wins.
The following three ‘easy’ fixtures all take place at home for Rose’s side as they will host Brighton and Hove Albion, Hull City, and Coventry City in this period. Yet, again, both Brighton and Hull have made fantastic starts to the campaign, while Coventry are showing signs that they are getting used to football back in the top flight.
Spurs are the final team Bournemouth will face in these 11 fixtures, with this match taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Roberto De Zerbi’s side have struggled at home in recent seasons, as they have not done so this campaign and have only managed three in the Premier League in the last. So, fans will see this as a winnable fixture.
So, while the FPL is touting it to be an easy period for Bournemouth, the fixtures are a lot tougher than on paper for a side that has yet to win. So it is a bold decision if any manager makes it.

The triple captain options for Bournemouth
There are two obvious options for FPL players to triple captain across this period for Bournemouth, as seen in their performances to this point of the campaign.
The first is the player who has collected the most points from any Cherries player, and that is Marcus Tavernier. The midfielder has already earned 32 points, earning an average of 5.3 per game.
He has also been awarded eight bonus points after the first six fixtures of the season. However, there will be concern as his form is only 3.7, while he only collected one point in the last game week.
The other obvious option is Evanilson. The striker has collected 25 points from his appearances this season. He has earned an average of 4.2 points per game, and he will be going into next week with confidence after getting seven this week.
Another option for players will be Rayan. While he has not hit the heights of the last campaign, he is still impressing on the pitch. It may just click for him over the next couple of weeks regarding garnering those FPL points, where it truly matters to fans of the Premier League.
