Welcome back to another captaincy metrics blog, The popular FPL Gameweek 36 captain picks include Haaland, Saka, Foden, Palmer and Isak. Haaland came of the bench to score a goal, Palmer picked up only an assist in GW35 across two games, Isak is in red hot form but Newcastle are not very strong away from home. Let’s see who amongst the five players tops the captaincy metrics this week, will it be Haaland or someone else?
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 24/35 returns record
Note: “Returns” ~ player topping the metrics getting points returns and not necessarily the highest scoring option of the week.
Total metrics points: 484 points (26+4+14+40+12+12+4+30+16+16+2+32+14+14+4+26*+6+4*+6+32*+6+26*+10+12+10+12*+16*+4+14+2+16+20*+6+16)

Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 36 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.
Haaland is top of the projection rank table with an anytime returns projection of 74% and a 8.2 points projection in FPL Gameweek 36 vs Wolves(H)
Palmer takes the 2nd spot with an anytime returns projection of 63% and a 6.5 points projection ahead of facing West Ham(H)

Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 36 Captaincy metrics
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 comfortably takes the top spot with a cumulative rank factor(CRF) of 7. Teammate Foden is 2nd with a CRF of 10. Palmer takes the 3rd spot with a CRF of 11, Isak is only 4th with a CRF of 14 and Saka is last with a CRF of 17.
