Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 7 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.

Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 7 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.
Erling Haaland comes out on top of the metrics, topping the table with a CRF value of 4. A CRF of 4 is the lowest possible CRF possible in our metrics.
Haaland is followed by Mohammed Salah who takes the second place with a CRF value of 10
Bowen takes third place with a CRF value of 12. Morris and Ward Prowse are last, with a CRF value of 15.
