<h2>Is Alexander Isak a risky Triple Captain chip?</h2>
<p><strong>Alexander Isak </strong>has been managing a groin issue for a number of weeks, which has hindered his minutes in all competitions.</p>
<p>The first indication of this was when he missed the 2-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield in Gameweek 27. He has failed to play more than 80 minutes in a league game since.</p>
<p>He got on the scoresheet in the Carabao Cup final win against Liverpool before being substituted on 81 minutes and found the net against Brentford in Gameweek 30 too.</p>
<p>He also played 151 minutes over two fixtures in the international break for Sweden, managing a goal and an assist in the 5-1 win against Northern Ireland.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>His performance against Leicester on Monday evening provided the most concern, where he appeared off his game against relatively weak opposition.</p>
<p>A double gameweek with a pair of home games against Manchester United and Crystal Palace look attractive on paper, with Isak scoring against United already this season on his way to a tally of 20 goals.</p>
<p>Minutes feels like the biggest hinderance to his points potential for the double gameweek but this round of games feels best suited to the Triple Captain chip, plus he has the pedigree.</p>
<h2>What are the Triple Captain alternatives to Isak?</h2>
<p>For those who don't fancy the Swedish striker there are some credible Triple Captain alternatives, with teammate <strong>Jacob Murphy </strong>among them.</p>
<p>He's played more minutes and recorded more goal involvements than Isak over the last two gameweeks to put himself among the form players in the game, with two goals and one assist.</p>
