FPL Most Captained Tables

There is arguably nothing more important in FPL than who you captain. A differential can lift you up the global rankings, but over a season the statistically best pick pays dividends — and there is no better guide to that than what the top managers actually did.

Generally, the top 10k managers is made up of those who have picked the best captains. This becomes more true as the season progresses.

It is also fascinating to see if any of the top 100 FPL managers deviate from the obvious captain pick that gameweek.

For example if a premium forward is at home to a relegation threatened team, you will expect him to be captained by nearly all.

However, maybe another player has an equally good fixture, or a few managers decide to take a chance on a defender in the same match.

Furthermore, having this information available also lets you know which players you want, and don’t want, to do well. Especially if you’re competing with the elite in Fantasy Premier League.
