Haaland and Bruno, Triple Captain GW3: FPL GW1 Squad And Chip Plan
20 August 2026
Haaland and Bruno, Triple Captain GW3 is built for managers who want both premium routes and are prepared to attack city's promoted-side fixture. This is one of ten legal GBP100.0m scenario solves, not a claim that one preseason draft is certain to win.

The 15-Player Squad
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| GK | Lammens, Matthews |
| DEF | Van Dijk, Lacroix, Gvardiol, De Cuyper, Thomas |
| MID | Bruno Fernandes, Sarr, O.Dango, Stach, Schade |
| FWD | Haaland, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison |
GW1 Team, Captain And Bench
Starting XI: Lammens; Van Dijk, Lacroix, Gvardiol; Bruno, Sarr, O.Dango, Stach, Schade; Haaland, Calvert-Lewin.
Bench order: Matthews; Richarlison, De Cuyper, Thomas. Captain: Haaland. Vice-captain: Bruno Fernandes.
GW1-GW5 Transfer And Chip Path
| Gameweek | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| GW1 | Roll | Keep both premiums for Bournemouth and Hull. |
| GW2 | Roll | Captain Haaland; Bruno is vice against Ipswich. |
| GW3 | Triple Captain | Haaland projects at 8.97 before the extra captain multiplier. |
| GW4 | Three saved transfers | Bruno, Schade and O.Dango to Saka, Palmer and Gomez if team news supports it. |
| GW5 | One transfer | Refresh the defence while returning the armband to Haaland. |
Why This Route Can Work
- Bruno opens with Hull and Ipswich while Haaland gets Bournemouth, Palace and Coventry.
- The captain and vice-captain are both high-minute premium players.
- The first-half Triple Captain cannot roll beyond GW19, so an elite early fixture is usable value.
Chip Strategy
Triple Captain Haaland against Coventry in GW3. Save Wildcard, Free Hit and Bench Boost.
Main Risk
Two premiums force a thin reserve goalkeeper and two low-cost defenders.
Demon Verdict
A high-conviction premium build whose success is concentrated in Haaland's GW3 ceiling.
