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:

      Used my 2FT on Ozil>Hazard and Rooney>Lukaku.

      I now have 3.7mil in the bank...

      Brady>Nasri worth it for a 4point hit?

              Not too fancy about Wally, Barkley or Towney. Defence looks weak with double Pool, and Gazz seems to be cra p. Indeed this is difficult...
              Walcott -> Hazard is my suggestion.

            Do people think he is a good option? I am short of getting de Guzman and I would like to be able to save that amount of money.

                  He's been great to me so far. Shame he has picked up a slight injury. It's great every week knowing that the cheap option in Defence is strong enough to play (well, they were until recent matches).

                Already have Hazard.. Was thinking Gerrard if i was to get rid of Wally.. Want to keep him but can't see Wenger changing a winning team.

              I'd be very tempted to bring lukaku in for Giroud and spend the extra cash upgrading sess

                My plan was to sell Giroud when the tough fixtures come up. Which I suppose is now. Arsenal have a good chance of beating Everton at the weekend (Arsenal fan here). So it would seem silly to transfer Giroud who is set to start for the opposing striker.

            Mignolet
            Williams-Ward-Chester

                hmm he sat on the bench for me and gained 8 pts. 🙁
                but now i think a CS against Ars would really be unlikely..

            Already taken a hit to bring in Ward & Hazard. 0.9 ITB. Leave it like that and hope Vlaar makes it? Could be messy this week.

            Any thoughts on transfers going forward. Fixtures for my defence look shocking for GW16. Looking to bring in Distin for one of Clyne or Vlaar if they are out for a bit or even Mert!
