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:

        Looking at the opponents for their double figure scores, both players appear to be flat track bullies. Only Haz has a flat track in the near future.

            Some more so than others. Aguero has done well against strong opposition. But I'm not judging, not saying either player is "objectively" better than the other. Just pointing out the reason why Hazard is more attractive for FPL right now.

          A little too early to class Ozil as a flat track bully in my opinion. I see your point but i'd look for another way to get Hazard in, or just get Lampard.

      Depends on who you want to bring in and what you do with the extra cash.

      I have the same problem but bought Rooney at 10.6 so will probably keep. I would imagine he would have been rested at some point anyway so hopefully this will be it..

        Well, in a way, but Ivano has been awful and Vert has an ankle issue.

        So, while the guys coming in are cheaper, I think they may be even BETTER, esp. Walker (he should outscore Vert and Ivano for the season I think).

        Hazard of course is the main component.
