<h2><strong>Best FPL captain for Double Gameweek 24: The candidates</strong></h2>
<p>Last week, we backed <strong>Mohamed Salah</strong> and he delivered but you would have been five points better off if you’d gone with <strong>Alexander Isak</strong>.</p>
<p>Every little counts and we will try to learn and improve as we go along.</p>
<p>This week, it feels like Salah is the clear pick, therefore we've added a little twist to help you decide which third Liverpool option to go for.</p>
<p>In addition, is this the best time to use a Triple Captain chip?</p>
<p>These are the main candidates this week:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold</strong> v Bournemouth (A) and Everton (A)</li>
<li><strong>Mohamed Salah</strong> v Bournemouth (A) and Everton (A)</li>
<li><strong>Cody Gakpo </strong>v Bournemouth (A) and Everton (A)</li>
<li><strong>Luis Diaz </strong>v Bournemouth (A) and Everton (A)</li>
<li><strong>Dominik Szoboszlai </strong>v Bournemouth (A) and Everton (A)</li>
</ul>
<p>As highlighted above, while the fixtures aren’t ideal, this article also aims to help you decide on the best third Liverpool option if you still have a spare slot.</p>
<p>Realistically, it’s hard to imagine anyone handing the armband to an Everton player and the only single gameweek option worth considering might be <strong>Cole Palmer</strong>.</p>
<p>But even with his appeal, the double gameweek is likely to take precedence for most managers.</p>

<p>It’s looking like we could barely be breaking even just by captaining Salah if enough use their Triple Captain chip.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL captain for Double Gameweek 24: Players' records</h2>
<p>Here are some notable records for our captaincy candidates:</p>
<p><strong>Salah </strong>- Has returned in his last two matches against Bournemouth but blanked the last away game. He's also blanked in his last two trips to Goodison Park.</p>
<p><strong>Diaz</strong> - Has returned in every home game against Bournemouth, including two braces, but blanked the one time he played them away. He's blanked his last three against Everton and never returned at Goodison.</p>
<p><strong>Alexander-Arnold </strong>- Picked up an assist in the reverse fixture against Bournemouth. He's blanked his last nine against Everton but you can see the value of the clean sheets.</p>
<p><strong>Gakpo </strong>- Has returned away against Bournemouth previously and scored at home against Everton - the only time he's started against them.</p>
<p><strong>Szoboszlai</strong> - Has never returned against either opponent.</p>
<p>For the metric, I will weight the top two equally given the different sample sizes.</p>
