Captain Sensible – Gameweek 15

We roll out another instalment of our new weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the Gameweek ahead. Each of the top four supply us with a player apiece this time out as we crunch the numbers to determine whether there really is an alternative to a certain Uruguayan for the armband:

        I need the funds of the other one to do it. I've got Vlaar and Clyne who are doubts also, and Ravel. 0.4m in the bank.

        I would probably take the hit a run with Lukaku and Gerrard for a few games. If Rooney is tearing it up and Lukaku not keeping up (I think they will be closer to equal though), then you can do some kind of switch later to get Rooney back. Often times, planning too far in advance doesn't work, as something comes up to destroy the plans. Someone gets injured, a falling out with the manager, etc. Of course, fixtures are always a major deciding point, in which case Lukaku's could hardly be more promising. I have a hunch he'll score against Arsenal.

    Myhill (Begovic)
    Zab | Terry | Mertesacker (Shaw, Rat)
    Ramsey | Lallana | Brunt | Bacuna | Whittingham

    Was thinking:
    1. Mertesacker + Lallana -> Ward + Hazard, and next GW Shaw -> Distin
    2. Begovic + Lallana -> Mannone + Hazard

      Keep Rooney is my advice, you need to focus on getting rid of Townsend and Barkley I think. Consider Brunt instead of Whitt, he tend to fire a lot of shots... at least towards the goal.

      If you consider B, take Distin... Everton has quite nice fixtures coming up
