Will it be Haaland topping the metrics or does Bruno stand a chance?

Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 37 Captain Picks
In the Fourth Phase of the article, I 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. I have then averaged the Two Ranks to churn out the Average Rank Factor, which I have used to determine the Safest yet Explosive option.
Bruno has the highest Anytime Returns Projections at 86%, while his Projected Points stand at 12.5 for the week and is the highest amongst the five players.
Haaland has the 2nd highest Anytime Returns Projections at 84%, while his Projected Points stand at 12.0 for the week, giving him the second spot.
Rashford has an Anytime Returns Projections at 82%, while his Projected Points stand at 10.4 for the week, giving him the third spot.
Mahrez has an Anytime Returns Projections at 69% and Projected Points at 10.2, which puts him in fourth place.
Alvarez has an Anytime Returns Projection at 67%, and the Projected Points at 8.2 this week, giving him the last spot.

Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 37 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.
Haaland tops the metrics with a CRF of just 5, the lowest possible CRF is only 4!
Strong team numbers and a favorable fixture have enabled Mahrez and Alvarez to finish joint 2nd!
Bruno is 3rd and Rashford is last, however, the numbers are all tight in the individual tables which shows that Bruno is still a decent alternative captaincy choice this week.
