Welcome to the FPL Gameweek 7 Captaincy metrics blog. Haaland is in red-hot form, and Arsenal face a leaky West Ham, making Gyokeres & Saka good captaincy options too. Let’s see who comes out on top of the captaincy metrics.
This season, we have a 4/5 returns record. Last season, the metrics finished with 686 pts(26/38 returns), the metrics had a “26/38 returns record” in the 23/24 season, 31/37 “returns record” in the 22/23 season, and “30/38 returns record” in the 21/22 season.

Total metrics points: 14 + 4 + 18 + 26 + 10 + 32 = 104 points
Note: “Returns” ~ player topping the metrics getting points returns and not necessarily the highest scoring option of the week.

Projections Rank of our FPL Gameweek 7 Captain Picks
In the fourth phase of the article, I 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.
Haaland is first with an anytime returns projection of 69% and a 6.9 points projection in FPL Gameweek 6 vs Brentford(A)
Bruno is second and has an anytime returns projection of 52% and a 6.5 points projection vs Sunderland(H)
Saka is also second with an anytime returns projection of 58% and a points projection of 5.9 vs West Ham(H)

Conclusion – Final Rank from our FPL Gameweek 7 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). According to our captaincy metrics, the candidate with the lowest cumulative rank factor is the ideal captaincy option.
Haaland tops the captaincy metrics with a CRF of 7, and Bruno is 2nd with a CRF of 9. Saka is 3rd with a cumulative rank factor of 11, Gyokeres is 4th with a CRF of 12, and Semenyo is last with a CRF of 17.
