FPL Captain Picks GW6 Analysis
Cristiano Ronaldo just wins our GW6 FPL Captain’s Table by less than one point (according to our FPL Captain system) and who could argue given his returns since returning to the Premier League. Ronaldo has a decent record against this weekend’s opposition too at just under a goal or assist per game. Doubts on whether he can maintain this all season or against better opposition is irrelevant for now. One must milk this cow.
Liverpool have two quality options in Mane and Salah, but after seeing Brentford’s real deal display against Wolves last weekend, we are predicting it may be a tight game where Liverpool might just nick a late-ish winner. So that means there may be less goal scoring threat from the Liverpool players this weekend.
Romelu Lukaku didn’t score against Spurs last weekend and is playing Man City this weekend. So tough to see him scoring against Man City if he couldn’t v Spurs last weekend.
Manchester City have so many options, with more big names coming back like KDB and Foden who will no doubt join our Captain’s table soon enough. But for now, with this week’s difficult fixture (v Chelsea A) and even more quality players into the mid rotation mix you can barely afford to put up with Pep’s roulette selections, let alone name one of them as captain.
TOP TEN CAPTAIN PICKS STATS
For your consideration are the below key stats from last season’s FPL for the Top Ten players from our Captain’s Table.
FPL Captain Picks GW6 Final Say
HELLO – Cristiano Ronaldo – Ronaldo just edges Salah for us because of the opposition. Brentford look tough to break down while Man Utd’s opponent looks a little less likely.
CALL ME MAYBE – Michail Antonio- After a Red Card enforced week off the West Ham striker will be fresh and have a point to prove. Leeds look like a decent opposition to play too.
GOODBYE – Harry Kane – Hard to think such a premium player doesn’t make our top ten, but he doesn’t. Until he does we can’t take him.

CAPTAIN’S TABLE DATA EXPLAINED
If you’re after an explanation on the Captain’s Table data help yourself to the below.
Goals and Assists v Opposition are compiled and compared to the best return per game for each player against this week’s opposition. The top return is awarded 20 points and points are reduced on a sliding scale from there. For players who haven’t played against this week’s opposition we have used goals + assists per game from this season.
Form taken straight from the Official FPL website. The top return is awarded 30 points and points are reduced on a sliding scale from there.
FPL points per Minute is a measurement taking the overall FPL points scored by the minutes on the field. This is so injured players or mid season signings are disadvantaged. The top return is awarded 20 points and points are reduced on a sliding scale from there.
Key Stats per Game is our own in house combination of key FPL stats for each players, which is then compared to the top results and goes down on a sliding scale. The fields include Goals per Game, Shots per Game Assists per Game, Key Passesper Game, Shots On Target per Game, and Chances per Game. Top Player get a maximum of 10 points and awarded on a sliding scale from there.
Bonus Points we tally up the Bonus Points throughout the 2021-22 season. Top Player get a maximum of 10 points and awarded on a sliding scale from there.
Match Rater – in addition to our Captain’s Table we have also devised our own Premier League Fixture Difficulty which we have included for a max 10 points. Because we think that game itself should be rated as well.
Multiplier – we have taken each player’s record against big six clubs and Home/Away goalscoring trends and applied a multiplier based on positive or negative trend.
Total all the scores are combined for an overall total. Maximum is 100.
