So, let's look at the best Gameweek to use it.We can't look past Manchester City's Erling Haaland for the triple captaincy in my opinion. He's been superior to everyone else so far this season and doesn't look like slowing down.I no longer have mine (used on Haaland for his 16-pointer at home to Burnley).However, if I still had my Triple Captain I'd use it in Gameweek 13 when Haaland faces a struggling Leeds side.

To highlight this, the top 17 defenders for defcon this season are all centre-backs (Crystal Palace's Tyrick Mitchell in 18th place is the highest first full-back).However, we cannot ignore attacking full-backs such as Jurrien Timber, Riccardo Calafiori and Daniel Munoz who are flying high in the overall points - thanks mainly to clean sheets and attacking returns (and less so defcon points).So remember, while defcon are significant this season - they aren't the only or most important route to points for defenders.I'd rather an Arsenal defender such as Timber, with no defcon this season, over the likes of Tarkowski or Andersen, for example.Likewise, I'd rather Munoz for his open-play threat, than team-mate Chris Richards, for example, who does better on defcon. FPL HeisenbergFour at the back is now the optimal formationThe rule changes introduced this season which reward defenders with defcon for various defensive actions make defensive players' scores less reliant solely on clean sheets, which can be unpredictable.So far only Haaland, Antoine Semenyo and Declan Rice have more than 60 points this season, from midfielders and forward.

However, to get all five you need to ensure you go in to gameweek 15 having used all your free transfers up.With so many transfers, taking short-term punts could be more of an option and while we should be wary of owning too many players going to Afcon, players like Manchester United's Bryan Mbeumo and Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr are still very good buys that you could have in your team for the next five gameweeks or more.Some Afcon players will be released to their national sides before gameweek 16, but it is likely most won't fly out until after Gameweek 16. Only Bournemouth's Semenyo has scored more fantasy points among midfielders this season.
