After a disastrous FPL Gameweek 5, we are back with the Captaincy Metrics for GW6 and it would be interesting to see if Haaland would be beaten for the second time this season by one of the other four captaincy candidates which includes Haaland’s teammate Julian Alvarez who is in red hot form.
The metrics had a 31/37 “returns record” last season and a 30/38 “returns record” in the 21/22 season. Do follow the man behind the metrics @AK_FPL1(Do follow him on Twitter)
This season the metrics has a 4/5 returns record
Note: “Returns” ~ player topping the metrics getting points returns and not necessarily the highest scoring option of the week.
Total metrics points: 96 points (26+4+14+40+12)

Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 6 Captain Picks
In the Fourth Phase of the article, I have used the Anytime Returns and Projected Points Tools available at Fantasy Football Hub.

Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 6 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 is followed by Julian Alvarez who takes the second place with a CRF value of 10
Salah takes third place with a CRF value of 12.
