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 season ticker, id say one of Nor, WBA or Man U defences have the best case for investment but I don't trust either Nor or Utd so much right now.

          A WBA defender would get my vote.

      Evening folks

      Only just plucked up the courage to come on here, having been Suarez-less until a couple of hours ago. Team for this GW now looks like this:

      Szczesny

      Coleman - Johnson - Coloccini

      Ramsey - Coutinho - Lallana - Hazard

      Remy - Suarez (c) - Aguero
      -------------------------------------------------------
      McGregor - Brady - Chester - Collins

      0.1m ITB. No FT (used it on Rooney > Suarez)

      Now, where could/should I improve? Defence is anyone's guess really. Fixtures aren't good this week but I don't want to take a hit just based on that - I benched Coleman for the United game etc...

      I'm thinking Remy > Lukaku for a -4? Would need to do it before he rises tonight. I'd want him in anyway for the upcoming fixtures, and would just have to take a hit next week anyway to do it.

      Thoughts and suggestions welcome, need to claw back the 50 points everyone else gained on me!

      Thoughts on this team for the long term? Rating out of 10 possibly?

      Howard, Lewis
      Terry, Jagielka, (Chester, Ward, Burner)- perfect rotation
      Hazard, Ramsey, Yaya, Coutinho, Ravel
      Aguero, Suarez, Lukaku

        Looks good. Upgrade Coutinho to Gerrard or Ozil. Missing Shelvey maybe?

      Mignolet. Bought him for 5.5m, current price 5.7m, selling price 5.6m.

      If his current price changes tonight to 5.6m, what will his selling price become?

      Cheers

        5.5 you lose the odd .1. Might as well hold for this game imo.

      How do you guys feel about Giroud > Lukaku?

      I got Giroud for 9.1 so I'm not losing anything there and I don't like Arsenal's fixtures for the next three weeks. I have Ramsey in my team.

      Evening all! Help a Brother out:

      re-post as it got lost..

      Off to Germany in the morning for a boozy weekend with mates and the Hamburg V Ausburg Bundesliga match! 😀

      Need to set my team tonight.

      I want to get Lukaku but would like to try to wait until next week... after tonight I will be left with the excact funds ITB to get him IF he doesn't rise again this week.

      Will he rise again tomorrow? Is Remy>Lukaku fora hit worth it? Will only be my 3rdhit of the season...

      Ta fellas, stuck on this one!
