In this #FPL 🧵 let's take a look at why Solly March of #Brighton is a viable choice for captaincy during #GW27 and perhaps even #GW29

Fixtures
Brighton #GW27
- ⚪️Leeds (A)
- 🦅Crystal Palace (H)

Brighton #GW28
- Blank

Brighton #GW29
- 🐝Brentford (H)
- 🍒Bournemouth (A)

Based on recent form Brighton will be scoring goals in all of these fixtures, so why Solly March?

Assist Numbers

Since the World Cup break #March has ranked third in Premier League expected assists:

Assists post WC: 1
xA: 4.06
xA90: .53

This displays he's placing teammates in excellent positions to convert opportunities.

Now, how about goals?

Goal Numbers

Goals: 4
xG: 3.05
npxG: 3.05

March has been in terrific attacking form for Brighton playing in the right midfield position under De Zerbi.

Plus, the development of Mitoma has created increased xG + xA opportunities for March and #Brighton as a whole.

Captaining March is a budget option that offers extreme differential potential:
- £5.1m
- 8.0% Ownership
- 24.5% Effective Ownership
- 4th most transferred in Brighton asset for #GW27
- Mitoma & Mac Allister are the predominate assets being targeted by popular #FPL creators

Alternative Brighton assets Mitoma and Mac Allister offer opportunities for the doubles but have not repeatedly created the xG + xA that March has since the World Cup.

Popular Captain Options for GW27
- Salah (27.5%), Bournemouth (A)
- Haaland (84.7%), Crystal Palace (A)
- Rashford (54.1), Southhampton (H)

High ownership numbers and captaining make these options less intriguing for those looking for a high upside differential captain.

Ultimately, the final reasons to Captain March comes from his explosive potential for 180 minutes:
- Four double-digit returns since the World Cup
- Brighton's #DGW matchups
- Positionally excellent with an underperforming xG indicates an increased likelihood of future returns
