Vice-Captain Tip

Always consider the vice-captain — if your captain blanks, your VC is the safety net. Pair a premium pick (e.g. a big-six midfielder in a home game) with a differential VC for maximum upside. The Onside engine scores both, so check the #2 and #3 picks as VC candidates.

How does Onside pick the best FPL captain?

Onside uses a depth-2 GBT meta-stacking engine (v5) running 2,000 Monte Carlo iterations across 9 signals: fixture difficulty, bookmaker odds, Premier Injuries data, per-team attacking residuals, form, and recent opponent defensive strength. Captain picks are ranked by captain expected value — the median of each player's doubled-score distribution. The top pick maximises median captaincy return, not just peak upside.
