In FPL, you need to choose the right captain and vice-captain to boost your weekly score. Understanding how their points work can give you an edge over your competitors.

Captain Points

Your captain’s score is doubled for the Gameweek. What does this mean? If your captain gets 10 points, you receive 20 points. This makes selecting a good captain one of the most important decisions each week. 

Pro-tip: Using tools like FPL Player Rankings, which highlight top players for the next five Gameweeks, can help you make informed choices.

Vice-Captain Points

If your captain fails to play during the Gameweek, your vice-captain takes over, and their points are doubled instead. This ensures you still have a chance to benefit from a strong performance.

Key Tips

1. Plan Ahead: Make sure to check match fixtures and player form.
2. Use Live Stats: Utilize OPTA Match Stats for real-time data to guide your decision.
3. Monitor Injuries: Stay updated with injury news through Game Week Tips to avoid selecting unavailable players.

By strategically selecting your captain and vice-captain, you can boost points and stay ahead of your opponents.
