Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 32 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. I have then averaged the Two Ranks to churn out the Average Rank Factor, which I have used to determine the Safest yet Explosive option.
Mohammed Salah has the highest Anytime Returns Projections at 76%, while his Projected Points stand at 9.0 for the week.
Bukayo Saka has an Anytime Returns Projection at 57%, and the Projected Points at 6.2 this week, giving him the second spot.
Saka’s teammate Martinelli has an Anytime Returns Projections at 51% and Projected Points at 5.8, which puts him in third place.
Jesus has an Anytime Returns Projections at 63% and Projected Points at 5.6, which puts him in fourth.
Ollie Watkins has an Anytime Returns Projections of 48% while the Projected Points stand at 5.0, pushing him to the last spot.

Salah is followed by the Arsenal trio, with Jesus grabbing the second place with a CRF value of 8, while Saka (CRF Value of 10) and Martinelli (CRF Value of 11).
