In the Third Phase of the Article, we look at the Fixture Difficulty of our 5 Candidates.

Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 23 Captain Picks
| (C)andidate | Anytime Returns (FFHUB Tool) | Projected Points (FFHUB) | Safety Ranking | Explosion Rank | Average Rank Factor | Safety + Explosion Rank |
| King | 66% | 9.5 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| Dennis | 65% | 8.7 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| De Bruyne | 67% | 7.2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Cancelo | 66% | 5.6 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| TAA | 64% | 5.6 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
In the Fourth Phase of the article, We have used the Anytime Returns and Projected Points Tools available at Fantasy Football Hub. With the help of the Anytime Returns Tool, I have derived the Safety Rank, which helps in determining the Safest Captaincy Option of the week, while I have used the Projected Points Tool to determine the Explosion Rank, which helps in determining the Most Explosive Option of the week.
Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 23 Captaincy metric analysis
| (C)andidate | Player’s Attack Rank | Team’s Attack Rank | Favourable Fixture Rank | Safety + Explosion Projections Rank | Cumulative Rank Factor |
| King | 1 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 8 |
| Dennis | 3 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 12 |
| KdB | 2 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 8 |
| Cancelo | 5 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 12 |
| TAA | 4 | 1 | 5 | 5 | 15 |
In the Fifth and Final Phase of the article, I have aggregated the Ranks derived above to pull out the Cumulative Rank Factor (CRF). The Candidate having the lowest Cumulative Rank Factor is the most ideal Captaincy Option according to this metric.
King and Kevin De Bruyne are tied for the top position in our metrics for GW23. Since King has a Double Gameweek and is also on penalties, we suggest to captain King for FPL GW23.
