Welcome back to another captaincy metrics blog, The popular FPL Gameweek 37 captain picks include Haaland, Son, Foden, Palmer, and Isak. Haaland who topped our captaincy metrics last week scored four goals vs Wolves in GW36, Palmer picked up only a goal in a 5-0 win, Isak is in red-hot form and Son was amongst the goals as well vs Liverpool. 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 25/36 returns record
Note: “Returns” ~ player topping the metrics getting points returns and not necessarily the highest scoring option of the week.

Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 37 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 6. Teammate Foden is 2nd with a CRF of 10. Isak takes the 3rd spot with a CRF of 11, Palmer and Son are joint 4th with a CRF of 15.
