Triple-Captained by 412,000+ Fantasy Premier League managers, the fourth-highest total this season, Alexander Isak (£9.5m) produced a goal and an assist in Double Gameweek 32 (DGW32) - but it could have been so much more.
The Newcastle United forward had eight shots across his two matches, the most he's had in any Gameweek this season. To add to the frustration of his backers, four of those efforts were deemed big chances, situations where a player is expected to score.
Isak finished on 11 points, or 33 with the Triple-Captaincy.

Mohamed Salah (£13.8m) is the most-popular pick of the season so far, when more than 1,088,000 managers Triple-Captained him in DGW24. The Liverpool star returned 29 points: 16 against AFC Bournemouth and 13 against Everton.
The Egyptian was also the second most-popular pick this season, with 613,000+ managers using the Triple Captain chip on him in DGW25. Salah returned 20 points across his two matches, against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa.
Erling Haaland (£14.8m) has also featured twice in the top five, with his best return coming against Ipswich Town in Gameweek 2 when he scored a hat-trick on his way to a 17-point return.

Transfer success
The No 1 transfer target for DGW32 and backed by just over 10,000 managers with the Triple Captain chip, Jacob Murphy (£5.2m) returned 19 points across his two matches.
It's the most points produced by the Gameweek's top transfer this season.
Murphy supplied an assist in the 4-1 win over Manchester United and followed that up with a goal, assist and maximum bonus in the 5-0 win at home to Crystal Palace.
DGW32 most-bought players
| Player | Bought by | Pts |
| Murphy | 979,969 | 19 |

| Mateta | 698,436 | 2 |

| Livramento | 469,020 | 8 |

Newcastle's two home encounters prompted managers to load up on Newcastle players, with over 2.6million recruiting one of Howe's men.
Tino Livramento (£4.6m) made his way into more than 469,000 teams following his first double-digit return of the campaign in Gameweek 31. A switch to left-back in Gameweek 28 has improved his chance creation: six key passes and one assist have arrived in that time.
The defender finished the round on eight points following his clean sheet against Palace.
There was less to cheer about for those who recruited one of Oliver Glasner's (£0.8m) side, with the Eagles conceding 10 goals in their two DGW32 matches.
Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.8m) was withdrawn before the 60th minute in both of his appearances, earning just two points.
But it was even worse for those who bought Daniel Munoz (£5.2m) as he registered his lowest score of the season. The Colombian got zero points in the 5-2 defeat to Manchester City and followed that up with a minus one at St James' Park.
More than 2,310,000 Fantasy bosses have snapped up Munoz over the last six Gameweeks, the most of any defender.
Morgan Rogers (£5.6m) continued to rise in popularity ahead of Aston Villa's game at Southampton and is now found in over 23 per cent of teams.
He supplied an assist as Villa won 3-0 taking his tally over his last three outings up to 25 points. Rogers is currently the third best-value midfielder in Fantasy having returned 24.6 points per million spent.
How many chips have been used in total?
Triple-Captain is the most-used chip for DGW32, played by over 447,000 managers overall, with 92 per cent of them selecting Isak.
The number of active Assistant Manager chips has increased to over 838,000 as another 286,000+ deployed it.
DGW32 chips played
| Chip | Used by |
| Triple Captain | 447,125 |
|---|---|
| Assistant Manager | 286,588 |
| Wildcard | 279,508 |
| Bench Boost | 208,952 |
| Free Hit | 77,639 |
The current three-Gameweek period for which the chip is active covers back-to-back Double Gameweeks, as four teams play twice in the next round. This means Fantasy bosses could get up to five matches for their Assistant Manager.
Indeed, those with Glasner benefit from four matches in the next two rounds, with Crystal Palace also playing twice in DGW33. Although the Austrian picked up just two points from his first two games in that sequence.
For the second successive Gameweek, Eddie Howe (£1.5m) was the top Assistant Manager, seeing his ownership increase to over 320,000. Newcastle's victory over Man Utd saw Howe return 10 points, thanks to a win and four goals, he then added a further 13 points for the win over Palace.
His Gameweek total of 23 points is the best score of any manager this season.

Who were the most-sold players?
Among the most-sold players, Chris Wood (£7.0m) recovered to make the Nottingham Forest starting XI for their meeting with Everton. The New Zealand international missed two games after injuring his hip during the international break.
His sellers had no cause for regret, however, as Forest lost 1-0 and Wood failed to muster a shot.
