For instance, if Erling Haaland manages 10 points, his total would become 20 if he is the captain and 30 if the manager had used the triple captain chip before the deadline of that particular game week. One can only use the triple captain chip once per season, therefore using it at the perfect time is immensely important.

When to Use 

If a manager decides to use the triple captain chip and changes their mind, they can revert the decision before the game week’s deadline. Furthermore, using the triple captain chip during a double game week is usually a clever decision. Managers also like to use the triple captain chip on a differential to increase their benefit.
