How To Choose Captain and Vice Captain?

That’s undoubtedly the toughest part of fantasy team building. In the Advanced Lineup Builder, we show suggested captain choices based on smart data analysis. These suggestions automatically change depending on the number of teams you’re generating to make sure you get a balanced mix.

If you have your own picks in mind, you can always go to “Manage C/VC” and manually select captains and vice captains of your choice.

Our recommendation:

  • Use consistent top performers as captain or vice-captain in around 75% of your teams. These are players who regularly finish in the top ranks and offer stability.

  • Use risky but high-impact players in the remaining 25% of your teams. These are players who may not perform in every match, but when they do, they can take you straight to the top.

The idea is to balance safe choices with game-changing differentials. If you’ve been following certain players or notice something others may have missed, bring that instinct into your C/VC selection. That personal touch, when combined with PL’s suggestions, gives you the best shot at winning big.
