Fantasy Premier League managers are considering the optimal moments to deploy their Bench Boost and Triple Captain chips for the 2026/27 season. The Bench Boost allows points from all 15 squad members to count for a single gameweek, while the Triple Captain triples the points of the chosen captain. Strategic timing often revolves around double gameweeks, favorable fixture runs, and the form of premium assets like Erling Haaland.
Experts suggest saving the Bench Boost for a gameweek where multiple teams have two fixtures, maximizing the potential of bench players. The Triple Captain is best used when a high-scoring forward, such as Manchester City's Erling Haaland, faces a weak defense in a double gameweek. Both chips can only be used once per season, making the decision critical for overall rank.
