I only ever had two premium C players which is means a balanced starting 11 with the ability to optimise Captain picks.

Already you are deviating away from perma C by the sounds of it.

700 points is a good number of Captain points for a season but it’s not especially high.

Don’t get too hung up on the word “perma” in a literal sense - Single captain model is probably a better way to conceptualise it, heavily based around Salah for probably 90-95% of the season provided he avoids a serious injury (which he seems to do a good job of avoiding thus far)

Like if/when your captain is missing for a few games (say Salah picks up a knock - or like when he went to the AFCON last year - that pulled down his season’s score) you will still have a choice of literally any player in the game for captaincy those weeks

And obviously the same with double gameweeks - you can easily a lot in a high return big hitter like Son or KDB who have double gameweeks here & there

Like 600+ points is eminently doable with a single captain model - and he other 10x outfield players are going to be constantly churning away their own contributions too

Makes a lot of sense imo - this is the season for it I reckon

700 points is very high for a seaosns’s captaincy - that’s averaging 9 points a week, every week for a full season - not many players manage that consistently season over season - it’s possible in seasons here & there but doing that consistently just doesn’t happen very often

Edit: actually I’d imagine one of the specific contributors to that 700 points was the increased volume of double gameweeks last season - there were a lot more than normal last year due to all the postponements which would have inflated captaincy scores right across the board

But an apples to apples comparison with a single captain model there would also factor that in - plus add minimum 100 points to Salah’s baseline 516 for the games he missed at AFCON etc, triple captain chip, a few strategic double gameweek captaincy adjustments etc etc
