            <p><strong>Erling Haaland </strong>is the leading captaincy option for FPL Gameweek 6 - but is this the best time to use the Triple Captain chip?</p>

<p>Here, we take a look at the case for and against doing so, using <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> to assist. We discuss the alternative options and how other chips may be a factor too.</p>

<h2>Haaland FPL Triple Captain: The stats</h2>
<p>Haaland has started the season superbly, scoring six goals.</p>
<p>He's scored double the amount of any other player and more than twice the expected goals (xG).</p>
<p>Importantly, he's returned in line with his xG (6.2) and isn't over-performing, which is often the case when players go on such goalscoring runs.</p>
<p>Key to this has been the amount of big chances his teammates have created for him.</p>
<p>This is not only a leading figure among players - just four teams as a whole have racked up more than 10.</p>
<p>And to further support the case for triple captaining him, Burnley's defensive stats are the worst in the league.</p>
<p>The Clarets have an expected goals conceded (xGC) record of 10.2, nearly two more than the next worst side.</p>
<p>No team have conceded more shots in the box (60), prime Haaland territory.</p>
<p>The Norwegian therefore has the right conditions for a haul - but are there still better options for the Triple Captain chip?</p>
