FPL captain picks, GW7

How to use this
- 1The cards are ranked by expected points doubled, which is what a captain actually scores. The number one card is the market's pick.
- 2Check the goal and assist chances under each name. A captain with a 50% goal chance and a 25% assist chance returns in roughly five weeks out of eight.
- 3Blank risk is the chance of neither a goal nor an assist. Two candidates with similar points but different blank risk are a safety choice, not a points choice.
- 4Numbers refresh as the bookmakers move, so check again on deadline morning once team news is priced in.
- 5The matrix underneath lays the leading captains across the next five gameweeks, so you can see who holds up for a Triple Captain run and where the market and the top-10k disagree. Later weeks come from team markets; unpriced weeks say no market.
Where the numbers come from
Every figure here comes from the anytime goalscorer and assist markets across dozens of bookmakers. We remove each bookmaker's margin, average the rest with the sharper books weighted higher, then apply FPL's own scoring for the player's position.
Nothing is a hunch and nothing is filled in: if a player has no goalscorer market yet, the card says so instead of guessing.
Questions
- Who is the best FPL captain for GW7?
- The top card on this page: the player with the highest expected captained points from the odds. It can change during the week as prices move, so the deadline-morning version is the one to use.
- How are FPL captain picks worked out here?
- From the goalscorer and assist odds, with the bookmakers' margin removed, converted into expected FPL points for the player's position and doubled. Minutes risk is applied from availability and recent starts.
- When do the captain picks update?
- Goalscorer markets usually open on Tuesday and are refreshed through the week. The last refresh time is shown at the top of the page.
- Is this the same as the most-captained player?
- No. The most-captained player is what the crowd chose. This page is what the market prices. Our track record compares the two every gameweek.
