After taking a break for the packed festive period, we roll out our weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the set of fixtures ahead. We analyse the current top five in the Captain Poll, with home games for Tottenham, Everton and United offering possible alternatives as Liverpool and Arsenal hit the road:
What do you think the points difference will be between YaYa and Silva from now until end of season will be ?
Also Oscar and Hazard
CheersOpen Controls
I am lagging a bit this season and so am going to wildcard. What's everyone's thoughts on this please.
Boruc. Mannone
Ward. Mertesacker. Coleman. B turner. Chester
Silva. Hazard. Eriksen. Ozil. Barkley
Suarez. Lukaku. Ade. With 3.9 in bank to upgrade Lukaku to aguero when fit?
I also toyed with Lallana and j rod as options.
Thanks in advanceOpen Controls
Probably Lallana to Eriksen besides that, nice team
Open Controls
Barkley to Puncheon and Eriksen to Lallana considerin you dont have jrod?
Open Controls
I'd go Ozil to Ramsey personally.
Open Controls
very similar to what i am looking at.
Lallana looks great for long term points but i have a feeling about Eriksen and i see him as a great differential (until he scores big against Palace, no doubt)Open Controls
If my old man wins his H2H this week, I will go top of my cash league. £300 incoming!
Open Controls
Who are you captaining this weekend then?
Open Controls- Open Controls
suarez or lukaku
Open Controls
suarez or ozil
Open Controls
Suarez, Yaya, Silva or an Arse if I get one in.
Open ControlsYeah! Look at those fixtures plus they've been a mainstay in everyone's teams thus far.
Open Controls
SUAREZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Open ControlsI might go for Eriksen or Giroud.
Big balls this early in the gameweek...
... Suarez on game day though, no doubt.Open Controls
anyone use the player projections area in the members section? was pretty stunned to see how low the expected points of puncheon are over the next 3 home games considerin he's bossing statistically in the other sections on there
Open Controlsi guess it is because palace dont score much
Open Controlsthat kinda puts me off him a lil tbh.. barkley/januzaj have such potential
Open Controls
Open Controls
I love Puncheon
What would you do if you were me with this lot
Mannone
Evans, Burner, Coleman
Puncheon, Silva, Ozil, Hazard
Suarez, Lukaku, Rooney
Lewis, Ki, Clyne, Burner
a)keep Rooney
b) Giroud -4
c) Negredo -4
d) JRod -4Open ControlsWait for news and keep Rooney if fit/has a chance imo. you got a brilliant bench incase he is not. Clyne and burner ahead of ki
Open Controlsoh 3rd sub is not Burner, he starts, it's Ward.
We'll never with Rooney that's the problem, I'll want rid next week. Maybe I'll just seen about keeping Luk one more week then selling.Open Controls
Anyone know if the Utd City DGW can be played in the mid week before or after the COC final?
Open Controlsthere won;t be a DGW IMO. It's scheduled for March 2nd, it'll just go midweek of GW28 (it's scheduled weekend)
Open Controlsno CL in the midweek between GWs28 and 29, but there is between GWs 27 and 28 and GWs 29 and 30, so it can't go the midweek before and it can't go the midweek after.
Open Controlsapparently there's a England friendly that midweek though, so it won't be then.
I thought there wouldn't be a DGW, seems like there will, but when I don't knowOpen Controls
CL before and England friendly after - can they play during friendly weeks?
Open Controlsis there an international that midweek?
didn't know that. That shakes things up a littleOpen Controlslooks like GW31 will be 1st DGW if GW28 isn't
Open Controls
yes your right Germany play Chile on the 4th March and there are more fixtures including England on Wednesday
Open Controls
Baby DGW. I'll be chasing the 4-6 team DGW in weeks 33-36.

Anyone heard anything on Jonny Evans' injury vs Swansea? Can't find much info anywhere...
Open Controls
Since when does anyone give a shit about manager of the month?
Open Controls
since moyes got nominated
Open Controlsno one does usually, just in this case it would look hilarious if moyes picked it up......
Open ControlsSince they starting believing it carried a curse.
Open Controls
Exactly. Bunch of people going apeshit about it despite the fact that he did decent in December..
Open Controlsits irrelevant whether he deserves it or not, its the timing , i can imagine the back pages 😆
Open Controls
He lost two games at home!
Open Controls...And recovered from that to win 5 on the bounce (6 if you include Shahktar game)
Point is he turned around a poor run of form and seemingly set us back on track - although that was before January 😐Open Controls
Boruc, Mannone,
Kosh, Chester, Baker, Ward, Whittaker
As you can tell, trying to keep it as budget as possible. Just wondering if there is some cheap def gem I have missed?Open Controls
Sorry for Repost but hit bottom of last page!!
Evening all!! I am bit concerned with amount of injuries in my squad. What would you do with this team? Thinking of getting rid of Walcott for Cazorla (differential) and holding out hope Yaya & Rooney start.
What do people reckon? Would appreciate advice.
Marshall (Mannone)
Coleman Dawson BTurner (Chester Colocinni)
Hazard Yaya Walcott Kasami (Bannan)
Suarez Lukaku RooneyOpen Controls
Is Oscar a too big rotation risk or worth the risk considering his price and potential?
Open Controls95% nailed when fit. only misses games after he plays for brazil or when carrying a knock
Open Controlswell he was nailed on earlier in the season.....but has been a risk since comin back from injury.....even so he showed he can still come off the bench and score.............im hopeful hes done enough to earn proper starts now
Open Controlsnailed on at moment he is playing well.
Open Controls
Extreme risk of rotation -
Open Controls
If you had Rooney on a wild card would you get him out for Negredo?
Open ControlsCaptains Picks! Considering we probably all have these players it will be interesting to see the outcome:
A) Suarez
B) Negredo
C) Ozil
D) Hazard
E) Lukaku
🙂Open Controls- Open Controls
- Open Controls

Open ControlsWhy is this even a question?
Open Controls
A
Open Controls
Right, WC plans boil down to this...
Clyne
Whittingham/Janu (5.3 or less 5th mid)
Giroud
OR
Baines
Morrison/Mutch (4.7 or less 5th mid)
Rodriguez
The mids will rarely get any further than 1st or 2nd sub.
All opinions would be greatly appreciated.Open ControlsA
Open Controls
Get Baines
You will thank me in a couple of weeks 😀Open ControlsBaines' stats are exceptional, i'm leaning this way.
I'd end up with Boruc eventually too with a bit of luck....Open ControlsYeah my WC Team ATM is
Marshall Manonne )
Baine Burner Kosc ( Ward and Nasty )
Silva Ozil Eriksen Hazard ( Alex Pozuelo******)
Suarez JRod Adebayor**
I will get rid of Ozil for Ramsey to free up some funds
I will get Aguero in for Adebayor
But what to do with Alex Pozuelo
With this team , I have 1.2 ITB
Any suggestions whilst WC is active
Thanks in advance 😀Open ControlsI am looking at players in the pozuelo mould.
Ultimately, i'm thinking they won't get much football as i'll have Bardsley and Chester on the bench too, both i am happy to start on GWs with decent fixtures.
Thought about Gnabry, but he takes an Arsenal spot and might need moving,
Poz is going to be a non starter regularly, its a tough one. Morrison, Livermore, Delph are the others I'm considering. 2 point machines...Open Controls
Just revisiting budget 5th mids. Was all set for Punch, but Palace fixtures are fairly bad. Plus I own Ward too. Seems sensible to spread the risk a bit more.
Ki stands out for fixtures. Agree?Open Controlsif its just a fifth mid, then fixtures arent that important..........noonemutch is another option
Open ControlsAnd in all honesty, it doesn't matter that much does it? Not actually going to play a budget mid, more just as back up for rotation.
Open ControlsDon't get Ki, trust me. Puncheon is the man
Open ControlsDoes not get much better than STK HULL WBA in the next 5 for Puncheon tbh. you'd only play him in home games anyway
Open ControlsAgree, but it would mean dropping Hazard to the bench which seems mad.
Open Controlsno, no.. dont play him. you may need him though. you said the fixtures are bad. the home games are far from bad actually
Open ControlsHmm...but why not just spend 4.3 on a mid who you might need as back up and spend the rest elsewhere?
I realise this has been done to bloody death on here already, but y'know, I'm trying to work it out!Open Controlsthis, you dont want to be giving yourself a bench headache ("I knew i should have played such n such") but you want guaranteed starters for emergencies (obviously buy the best value for the money, so someone who is attackin or on set pieces is a bonus)
Open Controlsexactly get jedinak or something or one of the cardif mids after monitoring under the new coach who plays
Open Controls
Evning lads and ladies
Should I sell Debuchy for a hit with my other defenders being Kosc, Ward, Burner and Vlaar?
I used my 1FT for Wally -> Özil.Open Controls

With all the injuries my team is lookig worse by the minute.
Already did Walcott to Özil as my free transfer this week.
Mannone
Burner-Terry-Coleman
Özil-Barkley (DOUBTFUL)-Yaya (DOUBTFUL)-Hazard
Suarez-Rooney (DOUBTFUL)-Lukaku
Bench: Davis, Chester, Jedinak, WIlliams
There's also talk of Burner losing his place. Really don't want to WC but do you reckon I should anyway?Open ControlsCertainly hope so! My bench is really week especially for this week mind
Open Controls
Cheers for all the great feedback. Much appreciated lads.
Oh and evening everyone 🙂Open ControlsBonsoir
Open Controls
WC question: if I make a couple of transfers and spend 4 points. Then activate my WC, do any points I've spent in that week get reversed?

Hey, need some help with my wildcard options. This is my current team:
Mignolet - Boruc
Coleman - Terry - Koscielny - Ward - Dawson
Morrison - Cabaye - Hazard - Toure - Ramsey
Suarez - Negredo - Lukaku
Enough in the bank to switch Neg for Aguero. Any suggestions? Should I stick with that?
My potential WC team looks like this:
Szczesny - McGregor
Coleman - Skrtl - Ward - Koscielny - Kolarov
Mutch - Erikson - Hazard - Toure - Ramsey
Suarez - Aguero - RemyOpen Controls
Oscar + hazard
Or
Gerrard + Suarez
In either situation I'll have suarez and hazard, it's just which one I double up on...
Gerrard highest PPG since suarez has returned (6.5), so I'm swayed towards him..Open Controlsoscar and haz. expect oscar's ppg to increase in second half as chelsea are improving, especially the mids. cannot see gerrard keeping 6.5 ppg. suarez's rate of goals from gerrard assists is unsustainable...i think
Open Controls
It's official Man C, Man U, and maybe Sunderland (depending on the second leg result of the COC) will have a DGW. This is due to the COC final on the 2nd March (GWK28) and there are international fixtures during the midweek.
Also take into account that there are UCL fixtures after Gwk 26, 27,29 and 30, it may be a long time until that DGW.
Note Man U vs Man C is scheduled on Gwk 28 hence why I am confident they will both have blanks, unless you think West Ham can score 7 goals.Open ControlsI should say Sunderland s West Brom can easily be moved to the midweek of Gwk 28, assuming they get through to the final
Open Controlsi take that back, forgot about the internationals. Sunderland and West B will have a DGW, assuming Sunderland get through to the final
Open ControlsSo if it's Sunderland we could have them and WBA having a DGW in 27 yeah?
Open Controls
so they'll have a missing GW first then.. GW 28 is gonna be a right pain
Open ControlsGW31 is free for DGW for all the teams in GW29 in the FA quarters plus whoever is in COC in GW28.
Gives you 2 GWs to shift from those playing in GW29 to those not.Open Controls
