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:

    Rooney & Brady -------> Chicharito & Hazard (-4pts)

    Why am I the only one that thinks this could pay off?

    This will give me 6 attacking players this GW with potential for returns, rather just 4 if I kept Rooney.

        He has Newcastle at home, he could score big. RVP may be out for longer, but even if he does return I can just ship him out. He is only intended to be a short term option.

    Zaba, Koch, Coleman, Gabbidon, XXX defender
    Gerrard, YaYa, Hazard, Ramsey, Oviedo
    Suarez, Aguero, Lukaku

    Two questions please:

    1. Only got 3.4m for a defender. How can I raise another 0.6k by downgrading someone?

    2. Am I missing any 'essential' players? I think maybe Rooney and Ozil spring to mind.

      In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

      Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

        Considered him. But he's 1 assist per game player, and Bannan frees up 0.8... 🙂

        Bannan isn't THAT much worse than Whitts, is he?

        On set pieces, corners etc.

      Reasons for concern....

      Hazard and Ramsey would be my main worry. There always seems to be one player you don't expect benched. I fear only 10 starts for that team.
