Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 35 Captaincy metric analysis

Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 35 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.

Although KDB came last for the player’s attack rank he eventually finished first for all the other ranks to end up with a CRF of 8. Kane is second with a CRF of 11, whereas Son and Salah are third with a CRF of 12. Ronaldo finishes last in spite of good individual numbers due to the poor form of Man United.
