How to Master Captain Picks in FPL

Choosing the right captain in Fantasy Premier League is crucial for maximizing your points. Here’s how to make the best choice:

• Pick Consistent Performers Opt for players who regularly score points rather than those who have occasional standout games. Consistent performers in key positions, such as top midfielders or forwards, can provide a steady stream of points, making them ideal captain choices.
• Check Fixtures The fixtures for the gameweek can greatly impact player performance. Look for players who are up against lower-ranked teams or teams with a poor defensive record. Players facing weaker opponents are more likely to score or assist, increasing their potential for high captaincy points.
• Avoid Rotation Risks Players who are frequently rotated or prone to resting may not be reliable captains. Ensure your captain is a regular starter who is expected to play the full match. Players who are secure in their positions and rarely get rotated are safer bets for captaincy.
• Form Over Fixtures While fixtures are important, a player in exceptional form can outperform even against tough opponents. If a player is on a hot streak and scoring regularly, they may be worth the risk even if they are up against a stronger team.
