How it works
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.
