Last week the metric predicted KDB as the best captaincy candidate. Metric record this season ~ 20/24.

Underlying Numbers of the Candidates Teams

Without a surprise Liverpool lead the team numbers over the last six games with an impressive 20 big chances and 12.21 xG over the period. Man united’s number are also pretty decent as well but they have been unlucky at times for not being able to convert the numbers into goals something which all of us managers will be hoping happens in this DGW.

Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 25 Captain Picks

Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 25 Captain Picks

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. 

Ronlado(84%) has a slightly better returns% than Bruno(80%) while Bruno(11.1) has a better projected points compared to Ronaldo(10.4) partly due to the fact that one is a mid and the other is a forward.

Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 25 Captaincy metric analysis

Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 25 Captaincy metric analysis

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. 

Ronaldo tops the metric for FPL GW25 with a CRF of 9 closely followed by Bruno(10) who is joint second with Salah(10) who is up there inspite of the fact that he plays only once in FPL GW25. Jota is fourth and KDB is last according to our metric.
