Our weekly regular for Members is rolled out again this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the Gameweek ahead. Strong home games for City and Everton look tempting, while Liverpool and Arsenal pay visit to a couple of the promoted clubs over the weekend:
Truly shocking first post 🙂
Open ControlsHe also give the second most number of accurate crosses per game in the EPL .. The first being JWP 🙂

He's also been quite underwhelming of recent in terms of points returns!
Open Controls
Amal seems to getting in some quality crosses, but his team mates r leting him down with their finishing, not surpisingly, given their quality of fwds. he shud get the odd assist, but do keep in mind as crosses seems to hv lesser chance of getting converted to an assist compared to through balls.
Open Controls
To be perfectly honest with you I'm looking to get rid of Amalfitano actually.
Kind of player who gets a big score so everyone flocks to bring him in. Then he proceeds to do nothing for 2 months whereby you finally lose patience and sell him.
Of course, the week you sell him will be the week he posts a high score, so people will go out and buy him again and the same cycle happens over again.Open Controls
Watch Sess's two misses. And Long's header which hits the post. Plus another chance in the Crystal Palace game. They're wasting his crosses. And depriving me of points.
Open Controls
Curious as to how many of the following (my team) are on your squad?
Migs, Boruc
Kosc, Dawson, Clyne, Zabs, Vidic
Ravel, Haz, Brady, Ramsey, Sess
Suarez, Aguero, Giroud
Recommendations invited.Open Controls
5/15 Kun,Haz,Ram,Ravel,Boruc
Good team tough.Open ControlsOnly 1 big hitting mid, and no Rooney. It doesn't look that expensive tbh.
Open Controls

You quit Homeland right?
This season is sick! Making me eat what I said after the first 3 episodes. 😆Open ControlsGreat show! Gets intense really quickly
Open Controls
Me too SJ! Seemed to gradually decline from the start of season 2 then BAM! It's on!
Open ControlsJust watched episodes 6-9 right now. Stunned at how good it's become after the first 3.
Dana out = BACK TO FORM
😆Open ControlsHa so true! I just finished watching ep9 too
Open ControlsWill never doubt Homeland again.
Walking Dead, on the other hand...
*falls asleepOpen ControlsOnce again completely agree. One that had lost me but has really surprised me in this it's last season is Mentalist. Got very monotonous for years but the final season has been really good
Open ControlsGreat show; but I quit after 2.5 seasons because it got too monotonous and routine.
Final season for The Mentalist? Red John 😯Open ControlsHa I quit about 2 seasons in too (you clearly have taste man) but for some reason started watching from the start of this season and glad I did. It's all been about the Red John hunt, the latest ep we just found out who he is 😉
Open ControlsBetter get downloading then 😛
Open Controls
yeah it is the best, well unrealistic compared to what they were going for in Season 1 though
Open Controls
Sorry to ask again.
Any news whether Rosenior will be playing for Hull this week?Open ControlsA lot of sensible folk on the Hull forums suggest yes! Elmo is horrid at RB and apparently he wont play there again in favor of playing further forward.. A shift to a 4-4-2 is also expected which virtually nails Rosenior on
Open Controls
Someone did mention that he could be back (vague source from the Hull chat forums).
However, even if he is back, his fixture isn't great this GW or next GW.Open ControlsTrue, but considering my other defenders are Terry, Lovren, Williams and Reid, I don't have much choice. Will be doing Reid->Vlaar.
Open Controls
i am worried to see the rest of your team that you would even be considering /asking about rosenior's status for this week given that pool are coming into town...
Open ControlsAs above. Can't play Lovren and Williams either...
Open Controls
WHO TO CAPTAIN!
a) AGUERO
b) SUAREZ
c) LUKAKU
currently have Aguero (C) and Suarez (VC)
???Open ControlsAgu C, Sua VC, seems to be the popular opinion.
Open Controls
any news on RAT????
Open ControlsA part of me wanted Kun out for the weekend. Our frontlines needed a shake up, and I'm trying to find someone to ditch for Tekkers. None of the Big 3 are showing cracks though...
Open ControlsAs Froca would say:
"If it 'aint fixed, don't broke it"Open Controls
Is Pantilimon nailed on until January?
Considering getting either him or Szczesny, but not sure who to get.
Transfering out either Vorm or BorucOpen Controlswould stick with vorm and boruc, transfers on GK for wc only!! if you must though, hart didn't help his cause in UCL. that said, doesn't seem a prime time to invest into city defense, i would go chesney.
Open ControlsI got to transfers this week, i am very happy with my team, but i have to do one transfer.
Guess its Szczesny then!Open Controls
Risky, Hart seems to be playing in UCL these days, wont be long before he starts in EPL, unless he makes another of his mindless errors.
Migs, Szcezney r decent options.Open ControlsCant say he made any glaring error, but City were SHITE in defense overall (this happens when u pair Lescott & Demichelis) & duly conceded vs a weak Romanian side.
Open Controls
HAHA horrific Gargatron score:

Total score of autosubs 6

let the shaming beginOpen ControlsWorst I've seen 🙂
Open Controls😯 funny thing is I'm still averaging about 65 points the past month..early season killed me
Open ControlsVery nice.
Most people have around 60-75% of their total captain score. When your vice captains would have scored more than your captains, you know something's wrong 🙂Open Controls
Here's a puzzler for you. What formation are West Ham playing given they don't have a striker right now?
Open Controls4-6-0?
Open Controls😮
Open Controls
Don't they play Maiga now? If not then a 460 with this I reckon:
Jussi
DEMEL Collins Tompkins O'Brien
Noble Nolan
Cole Diame Ravel DowningOpen Controls
4-6-0
Open Controls
I've been watching a lot of West Ham recently and this is how I think they line up
Jussi
Demel Collins Tomkins O'Brien
Noble Diame
Cole Ravel Downing
NolanOpen ControlsYeah it's pretty close to that, I mean they usually play 4-2-3-1. But it's difficult to see Nolan as playing as the lone striker. Ravel comes up so much.
Open Controls
Yeah, it's most commonly described as 4-6-0 with Downing and Cole very high, Noble and Collison deep and Nolan and Morrison both high up like strikers. I think 4-6-0 is a bit misleading, it's far from 6 at the same level.
Open ControlsIt's not very catchy but I think a fairer description would be 4-2-4-0
Open Controls
Downing is playing well atm. Still 0 goals, 0 assists though 😀
Open Controls
who do you fancy out of the lot?
need someone to replace snodgrass
A) Mirallas
B) Sessx
C) Adam Johnson
D) Charlie Adam
E) OthersOpen Controls
Im in same boat 7.6 to spend , no idea who i want
Open ControlsNani or Valencia 😀
Open Controlsyea same dilemma trigger
might go with sessx, wba do have decent fix short termOpen ControlsI already have sess , think you should get him
Open Controls
with the 5.0-7.5 mids all basically rolls of dice is it not wise to make those transfers with upgrading defense in mind instead of a one off?
Open ControlsRedmond or Fer are other choices
Open Controlsim pretty satisfied with my defense atm
kos, terry, coleman, collins and chester(inj)Open Controlsas you should be, that looks solid.
norwich have decent fixtures but with their injuries they look as threatening as palace right now to me. sess looks best to me, maybe kevin after next 3 gws when their fixtures lighten up?Open Controls
Which team do you fancy this week?
Team A:
Boruc
Lovren Cole Coleman
Haz Oscar Januzaj Ramsey Barkley
Giroud Sturridge(C)
Team B: (with a 4pt hit)
Boruc
Zaba Ward Collins
Ravel Barkley Sess Ozil
Suarez Lukaku Aguero(C)Open Controls
Which transfer if any would you do this week?
Sess out for nolan

Giroud out for bentekeOpen ControlsTime of the month or, to be more specific, what is you points average over the last 4 GW's?

Open Controlsif i knew what the next winning lottery numbers would be i'd be on the beach right now
Open Controls
Any decent defender in the 4.0m range with good short term fixtures ?
Open ControlsBen Turner after next week.
Open Controlsk thnx.
BTW, Do u Think Gabbidon a decent option, or r Palace still shite in defense ?Open Controlsgabbidon is a good look for next 3 gw in the 4.0 defs i think.
Open Controlsthnx mate. i need to someone to cover the qualty defs, who hv tough opponents in short term, so Gabbi looks a good option atm, with his BAP potential.
Open Controls
It depends whether you believe in the Pulis-effect. I'm cautious.
Open Controlsk. i will keep that in mind.
Open Controlsi agree. i dont feel that his impact on the team will be felt until he brings some new blood in during the january transfer window. that said, they have kept two cleans in a row and have three very favorable fixtures coming up. again, for 4.0, it would be difficult to do worse from my view point.
Open Controls
Have you watched Rooney play recently? Find another way to get Kun imo.
Open Controls
sadly i have no other way to get kun, unless i make 4 5 transfer, or wcing.
current setup is
migs harper
jt mert chico rat baker
hazard ramsey sess ravel gerrard
Suarez remy rooney
can do straight roon - aguero.
maybe u can possibly help how to upgrade remy instead?Open ControlsI'm off to work now. How much cash do you have? Maybe someone can else can help.
Open Controlsinsanely difficult to wedge kun into this team. if you do not do rooney to kun it would take several weeks of downgrades to fund remy to aguero. depends on how essential you view aguero and his captaincy outputs. while rooney is playing the football of his life he does not have the explosiveness as kun for an armband option, so that straight swap may be your best bet.
Open Controlsyea thanks for the insight walsh. im doing roon to aguero nevertheless, sad thing is i had roon from the start of his form went well. that said aguero for armband is more important imo
Open Controls
was my initial thought.... but we can't change rooney now
Open ControlsnOPE , Rooney in red hot form. Check out the 5-0 UCL match highlights.

Open ControlsMy defence for this gw as it stands:
Migs
Terry, Yanga Mbiwa
Who do I play as 3rd def?
Williams, Fonte or Rosenior.
None of them have particularly good prospects this gw but thinking of saving ft to have 2 for midweek games.
Who would you play as 3rd defender?Open Controls
Fonte.
Open Controlshmm neither of them look good, I have Fonte and considering cash in and downgrading him to Evans or updrading to Johnson/Zabeltea and then trading out Williams for Clyne in a few weeks time
Open ControlsOnly £0.3m in bank though.
This week is the only real problem week for my defenders though and I don't see a lot of obvious cleanie candidates this GW which is why I'm prepared to bite the bullet this weekend.
Evans or Mert seem the best options but I can get them next week with my 2 frees if I save transfer this weekend.Open Controlswell then there it is. of course cannot take a hit for def. stick to the plan and do it next week. maybe you will get a nice surprise from your men this weekend who knows!
Open ControlsYeah, got no problem playing one of that lot as I don't see a lot of cleanie alternatives this gw.
Thanks for your help, its appreciated.Open Controls
Fonte, as SOT r generally tight in def, dont think they will leak too much. Plus Fonte as goal scoring potential on Set-pieces.
Open ControlsFonte is the one I currently am playing.
I could do Rosenior to Ollson but not sure I really trust Norwich defence or that its that much of an upgrade.
Using transfer this week on a defender feels like it would be a waste.Open Controls
I'm about 80% sure I'm going to do Rooney to Lukaku, just I don't know when!
Open ControlsBoruc
Terry, GJ, Koscielny
Hazard, Oscar, Cabaye, Ravel
Aguero, Suarez, Remy
McGregor, Williams, JWP, Burner
Save FT?Open Controls
Mignolet Davis
Terry-Coleman-Williams-Burner-Chester
Ramsey-Sessegnon-Nasri-Mirallas-Jedinak
Aguero-Rooney-Suarez

What should I do to improve my team?
Think I need to improve the midfield somehow...Open ControlsProbably should ditch A Williams too.
Open Controlsi think you would be better served using your transfer this week and next ensuring that you have decent rotation among your 3 defense, to be frank. coleman has 2 fixes after stoke that you would be happy to put him on the bench for and williams/burner/chester are all a bit troublesome. although you lack heavy hitting mids you at least have decent depth among your four, i think your defense may prove to be in need of more attention.
i would ship williams out for kosc and reassess after the weekend. but honestly given the structure of your team i dont think it is tenable for you to keep SAR 😉 may want to get rid of one to free up funds to improve the overall balance. good luck!Open Controls
10 years, 5 months agoMorgan amalfitano is as creative as Rooney as far as Key passes go.. both averaging 2.4 key passes a game. He has created 22 key passes in 9 games played(2 of which were at RB, and 2 early subs due to injury b4 60 mins). 😯
