The Captain Poll – Gameweek 27

Filed under: Captain Poll - Posted by: Paul

It’s a two-horse race at the top of this week’s Captain Poll so far, with Robin Van Persie edging Theo Walcott into second spot by 34% to 31% ahead of the weekend deadline. The Dutchman has already topped the Poll on 15 occasions already this term; 13 more than any other player, with his average across those fixtures working out at 6.46, or 12.92 with the armband attached. We take a look at the votes cast so and analyse main protagonists’ respective fixtures.

Robin Van Persie

Many have concerns over his game time but, having been handed a brief second-half sub appearance in Monday’s FA Cup win over Reading, the Dutchman will be far from fatigued heading to Loftus Road this weekend. Van Persie will then have a seven day break before United’s next game, at home to Norwich –the Canaries clash comes three days before the second leg of the Champions League showdown with Real Madrid; if Sir Alex Ferguson were to consider the possibility of omitting him from the first XI, it would surely be next weekend.

Harry Redknapp’s side have racked up three back-to-back clean sheets at home, though, keeping out Spurs and City –intriguingly, QPR are one of just two teams Van Persie has yet to pick up attacking returns against this term. With a goal, assist or bonus in each of his last six on the road – in a run that harvested 46 points, or 7.6 ppg – Van Persie’s owners will be confident he can replicate Michu’s 18 point haul against the R’s in the previous Gameweek. Bearing in mind Wayne Rooney is unlikely to feature, according to reports, the Dutchman’s contribution will be more crucial than ever.

Theo Walcott

Fielded up front for the Gunners’ disappointing defeat at the hands of Bayern in midweek, Walcott is expected to shift back to the flank, affording Olivier Giroud the chance to lead the line once again. Despite Arsenal’s recent woes, Villa’s dire defence offers Walcott plenty hope – Paul Lambert’s side have conceded in each of their last 10 and have shipped 15 goals in their last four on the road, with Brad Guzan beaten at least twice in each of that quartet of matches.

Walcott has scored or assisted in nine of his last 10 – an incredible run of consistency – and has served up double figures in three of his previous seven at the Emirates. Giroud could be a real differential contender, though. The Frenchman has produced double figures in two of the last three at the Emirates but with Arsene Wenger’s side low on morale, has just 2% of the votes cast so far, with Santi Cazorla selected by 1%

Gareth Bale

The Tottenham winger rolls up to West Ham on Monday evening in scintillating form. Bale has scored four times in the last three Gameweeks and has registered back-to-back double figure hauls – indeed, five of his seven sets of double figures have been on the road so far, a clear indication of his propensity for points away from White Hart Lane.

With a brace in the first leg of the Europa League win over Lyon, Bale (who has received 17% of the votes) has scored all of Spurs’ last six goals and is up against a Hammers side with a single clean sheet in the last nine Gameweeks. Sam Allardyce’s side could be buoyed by the return of James Collins and have been fairly resilient at home – they have conceded more than a single goal in just three of their 13 fixtures at Upton Park.

Dimitar Berbatov

The Bulgarian has just 2% of the votes cast ahead of a home clash with Stoke. Berbatov has decent form at the Cottage in recent weeks, having scored or assisted in three of the last four in front of his own fans but a move to “the hole” last time out, affording Hugo Rodallega to lead the line against Norwich, is a real concern. Stoke’s recent defensive record boosts Berbatov’s appeal, though; the Potters are without a clean sheet in eight matches now.

Moussa Sissoko

Newcastle’s January acquisition has hit the ground running, with attacking returns in all three of his appearances. Sissoko squares up to Southampton at St James’ Park next and will be looking to replicate the home debut display against Chelsea which harvested a 15 point return. The Saints are no easy touch, though; you’d need to go back to Gameweek 10 to find the last time they were beaten by more than a single goal and arrive on Tyneside having swept aside City. Nevertheless, there’s been a definite upturn in form since a host of new arrivals and even Papiss Cisse has earned 1% of votes, despite scoring two home goals all season.

Other Contenders

Sergio Aguero has accrued just 1% of the votes cast ahead of City’s clash with Chelsea. Aguero has been in decent form, though; his last five starts have produced three goals and a pair of assists, with two sets of double figures also thrown in.

As Everton prepare to travel to Norwich, Marouane Fellaini has received just 1% of the votes. The Belgian has scored in just one of his last eight appearances, though, and with the Canaries conceding just once in their last three, he’ll need to step up if he’s to return to scoring ways.

A mere 1% have opted for Juan Mata as Chelsea travel to City. Having been handed a brief sub role against Wigan last time out, though, he will surely start this one – Mata has produced three sets of double figures in his last five road trips, scoring or assisting in each of them.

Rickie Lambert is another who has earned a surprisingly low 1%. The Southampton forward travels to Newcastle with a superb away record – he has scored in five of his last six on the road and with the Magpies registering one clean sheet in their last five at St James’ Park, Lambert’s owners will be confident of further returns.

Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku are further down the list, despite some solid displays of late. The City forward has started six of the last seven and has scored in five of those first XI appearances ahead of the visit of Chelsea, while Lukaku welcomes Sunderland to the Hawthorns having scored or assisted in five of the last six Gameweeks. As his display at Anfield in the previous match showed, the Belgian is more than capable of producing even if handed a sub role.

    Which one for next game week:
    (Jagielka – Akapan – Rooney out)

    a) Wilson – Dawson – Santon

    b) Bale – Fellaini – Lampard – Mata

    c) Studge – Adebayor – Cisse – Giroud

    my views on the midfield are that Bale has tough matches but chelsea are unsure, fellaini is close to suspension.

    ST – Ade is a punt that could pay off. Giroud could have a strong finish and so could the other 2….

    I was going to do:
    Bertrand > Wilson
    GJ > Jevans (4pts)

    But with potential blank for ManU in GW29 seems stupid to bring him in (will give me 4 Blank players for GW29) BUT if Betrand doesn’t play I effectively have a ‘blank’ this week anyway fielding only 10.

    Don’t know what to do, I could also get rid of Davies.

      Keep Davies I’d say because you’ll want him gw29. I’d focus on getting out players who probably won’t play either this week or 29 ie Bertrand. But I agree Wilson is not a wise choice quite yet if you need him this week. Anything in the bank?

      I’d just do the first one then. No point getting JEvans until the GW29 blank is settled IMO. You could get a cheapie maybe, Norwich, QPR or Southampton, but not sure they warrant a hit since you’re could easily get 2 or less.

    Like many on here I’m looking to find a cheap replacement for Davies as a result of the blank. Its important that this replacement is nailed on for this GW and GW29 due to the blanks elsewhere. Because I already have Harte and Clyne, here’s the shortlist and my thoughts on each prospect.

    Dawson – Seems a good cheap way into one of the better statistical defenses in the league. Seems to have won the CB role at least for the short to medium term, there is always the potential he could be rotated/dropped down the line though. Unfortunately for Spurs they haven’t quite lived up to their defensive potential and don’t get as many clean sheets as they should. Fixtures aren’t great either.

    Wilson – Its very 50/50 as to whether he will start this week. Will be a waste of a transfer if he is eased back into action from the bench. Very unfortunate because he would be a very strong option otherwise

    Turner/Martin – I’m leaning towards Martin here due to the higher attacking threat. Seems to have nailed down his spot at least for the short – medium term. Ok fixtures but like many fellow Bunn owners doubling up on Norwich may be a little much

    Cuellar – Its hard to say whether he will walk back into the starting lineup so is a risky option in the short term. It will be a waste of a transfer if he doesn’t start this week. Medium to long term he will be a good pick

    Debuchy/Santon – I think we might be kidding ourselves somewhat to believe that Newcastle suddenly have a water tight defense. Granted they are looking a lot better, but this is in attack and these two do have attacking potential. However It remains to be seen whether they will be good enough to find last years defensive form.

      Debuchy or Wilson for me.
      Turner is a decent option as well.

        Would you risk Wilson if he was your 11th player? It would suck if he didn’t play

    Because of swansea and liverpool blank, I only have 3 playing defenders and mid/forwards of

    mata walcott fellani marveaux michu
    Rvp sturridge suarez

    So I can only fields 9 players and with my 1freebie I can get 10 players, if Marveaux plays at all. But my question is what is my priority single transfer, I’m thinking its gotta be a striker and I’m currently thinking Suarez/sturridge > Dzeko.

    Your thoughts please lads, thanks in advance.
