Bruno Fernandes is the top captain pick for FPL Gameweek 23 on Statz's projections, with 5.2 projected points away at Brentford, ahead of Muharemović on 5.1 and Palmer on 4.8.
The FPL Gameweek 23 deadline is 13:30 UK time on Saturday 30 January 2027, 90 minutes before AFC Bournemouth v Fulham opens the round, and every transfer, chip and captain change has to be made by then.
Liverpool are the likeliest clean sheet in FPL Gameweek 23, with a 45% chance at home to Everton, ahead of Tottenham Hotspur (36%) at home to Sunderland and AFC Bournemouth (36%) at home to Fulham.
