Welcome to the FPL Gameweek 32 Captaincy metrics blog. After a really long break in FPL, we are back with our Captaincy metrics with a full fixture list after the small blank in GW31, where Gordon was the surprise captaincy shout and he duly delivered with a 10-pointer.
Total metrics points: 14 + 4 + 18 + 26 + 10 + 32 + 16 + 26 + 4 + 26 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 28 + 4 + 26 + 32 + 4 + 4 + 8 + 12 + 4 + 2 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 4 + 30 + 4+ 4 + 20 = 410 points
