RAPHINA vs BAMFORD

A lot of people will be picking between the two this week for captaincy.

Below is a short thread comparing the two

8/10 returns away
2/10 returns at home

The returns being at home/away probably doesn’t make much difference because one of their fixtures is at home and the other away. Still interesting to look at.

EXPLOSIVENESS
We all want captaincy hauls!

Double digit hauls this season:

Bamford - (14 points, 17 points and 15 points)

Raphina - (13 points)

PENALTIES - Bamford has penalties. This is an extra source of points and it’s always nice to put the captaincy on a penalty taker

EFFECTIVE OWNERSHIP
If we’re being proper Rank Monkeys then maybe EO will sway your decision.

My guess for players EO at his week in the top 10K

Bamford - 150%
Raphina - 30-50%

So Raphina will be a bigger differential this week and Bamford will offer ‘rank protection’
