Captain Score Methodology
0 – 100 scale
How we calculate it
- •Fixture Difficulty (25%) — Form-adjusted opponent difficulty, inverted — easier fixture = higher score
- •Form (25%) — FPL's rolling 6GW average, normalised to 0–100
- •ICT Index (20%) — FPL's influence/creativity/threat composite metric, normalised across all players
- •Home Advantage (10%) — Home = 100, Away = 40, DGW mixed = 70, BGW = 0
- •Ownership (10%) — Higher ownership = safer, more popular captain pick
- •Bonus Points (10%) — Season bonus tally, normalised — rewards consistent big-score contributors
