FPL GW32 Captain Data

I checked the captain pick across every optimised squad this week. 5,543 teams heading into GW32. One name dominates completely.

Captain consensus GW32

The full distribution

92.8%. This isn't a consensus. It's a landslide. B.Fernandes is the captain pick for nearly every optimised squad heading into GW32. Haaland at 6.5% is the only alternative worth mentioning.

92.8% of 5,543 squads. I've never seen a captain consensus this strong. Fernandes has the xPts, the fixture, and the form. The math doesn't leave much room for debate this week.

Vice-captain picks

Haaland at 77.1% is the clear VC pick. If Fernandes doesn't play, Haaland takes over for the majority of squads. Gabriel at 11.8% and Saka at 9.2% round out the top three.

Is there a differential?

Not this week. With 92.8% on Fernandes and 6.5% on Haaland, captaining anyone else is a genuine gamble. Saka at 0.5% is the closest thing to a differential but the numbers don't support it.

If you're chasing your mini-league leader and they also captain Fernandes, the captain pick won't create separation this week. Look at transfers and chip timing instead.

Copilot verdictCAPTAIN HIM

“B.Fernandes. 92.8% of 5,543 optimised squads agree. This is the strongest captain consensus I've seen all season. Don't overthink it.”

• Captain Fernandes: 92.8% consensus, best xPts this week
• Captain Haaland: only if you don't own Fernandes (6.5%)
• VC Haaland: 77.1% of squads have him as insurance

99.3% of optimised squads captain either Fernandes or Haaland. The data is clear. Pick one of these two and move on. The real decisions this week are your Wildcard timing and transfer targets.
