How to Master Captain Picks in FPL
Picking the right captain in Fantasy Premier League can
be the difference between an average week and a
game-changing one. Here's how to lead your lineup like a
pro:
-
Choose Reliable Point Earners
Go with players who consistently deliver—not just
those with the occasional explosion. Reliable
midfielders and forwards often rack up points week
after week, making them ideal captain material.
-
Analyze the Fixtures
Fixtures matter. Favor players going up against
weaker defenses or bottom-tier teams. Easier
matchups mean more opportunities for your captain to
shine.
-
Steer Clear of Rotation Risks
Avoid captaining players who are frequently benched
or rotated. Look for nailed-on starters who are
likely to play the full 90 minutes without question.
-
Prioritize Form Over Fixtures
Don’t overlook a player in red-hot form, even if
they face a tough opponent. Momentum can carry a
confident player to big returns, no matter who
they’re up against.
