Top FPL Gameweek 26 Captain Picks Based on Analysis and Metrics

A vast majority of us are either triple captaining or captaining Salah. In this blog let’s see where Salah stands in the metrics just to confirm our decision.

Last week the metric predicted Ronaldo as the best captaincy candidate. Metric record this season ~ 21/25.

Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 26 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. 

Salah tops the captaincy metrics for FPL GW26 by a huge margin with a Cumulative Rank factor of 4. Mane finishes second with a CRF of 8 just ahead of Trent Alexander Arnold who finishes third with 9.
