How xPts Captain Rankings Work
Captain picks are ranked by the same xPts formula used on the Expected Points page. For forwards: (team_goal_prob x goals_share x 4) + 2 + (assists_per_90 x 3). For mids: (team_goal_prob x goals_share x 5) + 2 + (assists_per_90 x 3). All probabilities come from real bookmaker odds. Goals, assists, ownership, and price come from the UCL Fantasy API. Doubtful/injured players have their xPts reduced. Every number shown traces to one of our three data sources.
