Erling Haaland Triple Captain: FPL reveals how many managers gave chip to Man City striker as he smashes record set by Liverpool's Mohamed Salah

The Manchester City goal machine has broken yet another record - albeit off the pitch - as over 1.3 million FPL managers made him their 'Triple Captain' for the gameweek 25. The move means the striker beats the record previously held by Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah. Over 1.1m managers made the Liverpool talisman their Triple Captain in February 2022.

Since coming back from injury, the Norwegian has appeared in four games, including three in the Premier League. In the last game week, the striker netted a brace in the Cityzens' comfortable 2-0 win over Everton at the Etihad. Overall, the 23-year-old has scored 16 league goals in 18 appearances in the current season and has provided five assists.

For the first time in FPL history, more than two million managers across the world have played a chip in the game week 25. Out of the two million users, the 'Triple Captain' chip has been used 1.58m times.

Fans are clearly expecting Haaland to find the back of the net this week. Manchester City face Chelsea on Saturday and then head to Brentford on Tuesday.
