Top Strategies for Choosing Your FPL Captain

Selecting your Fantasy Premier League captain can make or break your weekly score. Want to turn a solid squad into a standout performance? Here's how to make smarter picks:

  • Go with Consistency
    Pick players who deliver steady points over time. Midfielders or forwards who regularly score or assist are your safest bet for captaincy.
  • Study the Schedule
    Favor players facing weaker defenses. Matchups against struggling teams often provide golden opportunities for big returns.
  • Avoid Unpredictable Starters
    Don’t risk captaining someone who might be rotated or benched. Focus on reliable starters who usually play the full 90.
  • Let Form Speak Louder Than Fixtures
    A player in great form can thrive—even against top-tier opponents. Momentum matters, so trust hot streaks when making your choice.
