Captain Sensible – Gameweek 29

With just five Premier League fixtures to choose from this weekend, our armband selection looks more crucial than ever. We analyse the leaders in this week’s Captain Poll and also delve into the data to dig up any alternatives, including our usual tip for “Captain Unsensible” – having been rewarded by Nikica Jelavic and Loic Remy in the last couple of Gameweeks, we turn to Carrow Road for Norwich’s clash with travel-sick Stoke:

    Sir Chesney -> David de Heyaaaa

    For or one of my two free transfers.

    Utd have a fixture this week, a double in 31 and their defence has been quite solid lately while Arsenal have a blank this week and a bunch of shocking fixtures.

    Yay or Nay?

        I have Evra, Terry & Ward.

          The managers who can afford to do that because they have built up value in their team and can afford to lose money on transfers out probably don't apply to you (or me!) Same logic with Suarez to RVP though they will probably lose more value as they will have held Suarez longer. So the answer is definitely Nay!

        Has anyone been watching Southampton games recently? Has Jrod been wasteful or unlucky?

        A lot of shooting in the box but with so few shots on target, I'm worried a punt on him as captain is a stupid risk in a week where almost everyone will captain Hazard

          I watched them last week and tbh didn't see much out of him. A few missed opportunities, but Lallana was danger-man by far. He could have had a goal and a few assists. Was the only Southampton player I thought looked really good.

              Rival has Chambers, I have Fonte. So every time Chambers is shown on the telly I'm busy praying for a red card. Don't pay attention to how he's played! 🙂

            Jrod tends to be quiet then come up with a nice finish from nowhere when I've watched him play

          JayRod has been unlucky mostly. But from what i gathered, he looks more productive that Lallana and Lambert usually.

            Hmmm ok. Might go for the punt and put the armband on him... watching the Chelsea game with a mate who's a Chelsea fan too so it would be good to cheer Spurs on heartily (as a City fan)

              Actually, scrap that, I will cheer for a 0-0 draw as I have Ivan and Azpi. What was I thinking?

        My team for this GW is

        Boruc, (Davies)

        Ward, Ivan, (Sagna, Demel, Coleman)

        Haz (c), Snoddy, Puncheon, Lallana, (Caz)

        Ade, (Suarez, Sturridge)

        I have 1 FT and 0.6 ITB.

        The only move I can find is to take a punt on Caz -> Januzaj. I would rather ditch Cazorla than Sagna.

        This will free up funds for Aguero and, if I'm lucky, get me a player who plays 4 times in the next 3 GWs. Too risky? Any better moves?
