contents We propose a new class of inflationary attractors in metric-affine gravity. Such class features a non-minimal coupling $\tildeξ\, Ω(ϕ)$ with the Holst invariant $\tilde{\cal R}$ and an inflaton potential proportional to $Ω(ϕ)^2$. The attractor behaviour of the class takes place with two combined strong coupling limits. The first limit is realized at large $\tildeξ$, which makes the theory equivalent to a $\tilde{\cal R}^2$ model. Then, the second limit considers a very small Barbero-Immirzi parameter which leads the inflationary predictions of the $\tilde{\cal R}^2$ model towards the ones of Starobinsky inflation. Because of the analogy with the renown $ξ$-attractors, we label this new class as $\tildeξ$-attractors.
