Welcome to the FPL Gameweek 37 Captaincy metrics blog. We are back after the DGW36, which started with a bang for Haaland captainers but ended up as a single GW, due to his no-show against Crystal Palace, scoring 11 points in total in the process. We look forward to GW37 as normalcy resumes this week.
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 + 4 + 26 + 4 + 14 + 22= 480 points
