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:
just looking at training footage now, can't see him

For those that are taking a midfield punt this week:
Jon Walters - any takers?Open Controls
If I buy anyone now, it would be part of the DGW plan, so no.
Open ControlsIm lucky to have a WC - so he looks like a decent 2 week punt.
I'd go Januzaj if you could guarantee his game time..Open ControlsThat makes sense, but I'd still avoid both Walters and Januzaj. For 2 weeks you could consider Snodgrass, Holtby or Lallana if you don't have him.
Open ControlsLallana is in - Snod is a doubt but again a decent option and I'd be interested if he is fit. Holtby - not sure on Fulham yet too much turmoil. Thanks for the shout tho...
Open Controls
prefer zaha and dejagah personally
Open ControlsDecent cheaper options - I like the security of Walters I think now with Adam and Assaidi out and Arnie a concern. Hide behind sofa if he has a pen though!
Open Controls
So who all have players with games this week but they won't play?
Open Controls
A couple of maybes, no one definitely out. I got rid of Gabby recently.
Open Controls
mutch n olsson for me
Open Controlsas maybes
Open Controls
Open Controls
Worries re Noone n Olsson but if they come in I should get XI out for a -4
Open Controls
Eriksen, Yoshida and maybe the Punch
Open Controls
Which is the better transfer for this week?
A) Colback to Januzaj
B) Koscielny to VidicOpen Controls
B.
Open Controls
No idea what to do this week.Any help appreciated!
Mannone / Szczesny
Koscielny / Azpilicueta / Collins / Cahill / Yoshida
Yaya Touré / Hazard / Mata / Lallana / Delph
Suárez / Sturridge / Lambert
1 FT, £0.2m in the bank.
Thinking Szcz ---> Speroni to free up cashOpen Controls
Do you think Dejagah is a starter under magath? played 90 mins for last 2?
Open Controls
He's nailed on and the manager has said he is integral to his team.
Open Controls
I'm sure I read that he played for the manager in Germany, so that must help.
Open Controls
If I was doing a Fulham punt it would be him if I had the funds.can't decide whether to bring in Kasami for a hit. Seems ridiculous but if my main rival makes 2 transfers, I might.
Open Controls
Good evening guys!!! Have a bit of a dilemma...Wanna clear it out with you all...I am fielding 11 this gw and have 2 trannys...but I guess I will have to waste my trannies...coz I can't find any pressing transfer...moreobmver I hav my WC intact, which earlier I was thinking of playing in gw31...but at the moment I cm field 9 dgw players without a hit...so am thinking of saving now for any future gws...is it worth saving??? Please comment... Team is

0.5 ITB and two freebies...Open Controls
If you're going to lose a transfer, get someone who will have a dgw in gw 31 (manure player)
Open ControlsCan't afford any good player without losing someone who plays this week...
Open Controls
maybe get Noone out as he is a possible doubt, but at 4.8 who is there?
Open ControlsKieran Richardson is on some form.
Open Controls
Marshall (Mannone)
Ward (Coleman, Kos, Chester, Demel)
Hazard, Lallana, Eriksen, Snoddy (Huddlestone)
Ade (sturridge, suarez)
2FT 3.5m in bank
A. Does Kos>Azip seem ok? Think he will outscore Kos over next 3 weeks & has better fixtures after that.
B. Ade>Rooney for a 1 week punt or save transfer? Will mean a hit next week to get Aguero in.Open ControlsDo you think Koren -> Mutch is worth a hit?
Open ControlsPaying 4pts for him seems a bit mutch.
Open ControlsYeah I know what you mean. It's just that Koren is stinking out my 5th mid spot with his 0/1 point streaks. This week seems like the only week to replace him.
Open Controls🙂
Open Controls
Really weird idea.
Open ControlsWhy is replacing a 5th mid (who doesn't start) so that I get an extra player out this week a weird idea? Technically only a 2 point hit remember.
Open Controls
Moyes being his usual self then or has he said anything?
Open Controlsfabio, mutch, zaha all training, can't spot noone though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXZJOdFRTWU
Open ControlsCome on Zaha, repay the faith. All I have is an assist from you! 😡
Open Controls
Why was Steven Davis subbed at half time last week, does anybody know?...and...Is he a nailed on starter for this week or will Ramires pinch his spot?
Open ControlsWell, he is better than Ramirez, but the manager is another strange one.
Open ControlsStill looking for that one week cheapie Doosra, he would fit the bill nicely if starting...He's actually a good player and could easily pick up more FPL points than he has.
Open Controls
Depends how cheap you are after. If you want a midfielder to play this weekend and very cheap who you will bench for the rest of the season but has a small chance of getting points then Bradley Johnson is your man. Failing that Redmond is an option
Open Controls
They were 2 goals down. They brough a defensive midfielder off for a creative midfield. I think it as simple as that to be honest.
Open Controls
Factor in that he probably was bearing in mind that he was going on International Duty a few days later and the change would have made sense in that regard, too.
Open Controls
Yeah he was. I wouldn't say nailed - I'd go for him myself if that were the case, but I'm going Walters for what I think is nailed on-ness
Open Controls
Just about to pull the trigger on Koscielny to Evra, before I do, he is for for west brom isn't he?
Open Controlssubbed at 45 min in the friendly
hope he's good to go and feed the RVPOpen Controls
Mata voted by United fans around the world as club's Player of the Month for February.
Is this a joke?Open ControlsYour call. I reckon Rooney personally.
Open Controlspoll says yes, i've gone rooney though. maybe deep down using the armband to try and justify the transfer more, not entirely sure
Open Controls
Who did you sell?
Open Controls
Nope. Not for me.
Open Controls
Got 2 FTs so need to use at least one, looking for merte replacement:
A evra (now)
B fonte (and assess which dgw def i want later)
C terry (double up on che and then sell azpi for a dgw def)
Marshall (mannone)
Ward azpi (MERTE bruce coleman)
Hazard mata lallana zaha punch
Ade (sas)
2FT, 3.5Open Controls
Was sooooo angry last week. For first time in weeks took the armband off suarez, transferred in Snoddy for 1 point and Mirallas didn't even play. As a result I lost my h2h by 4 points!
Have 2FT this week:
Mign, Mann
Ward, Cahill (Kos, Chester, Coleman)
Haz, Lallana, Snod, janu (Mirallas)
Ade (Sturridge, Suarez)
options:
1. Chester + Mirallas--> Mata + Smalling
2. Mirallas + mannone--> Mata + Ruddy/Marshall
3. Mirallas + Sturridge --> Mata + Rooney (lose £0.5m on sturridge)
4. ?
HELP!Open ControlsI would be totally against making ANY of those changes, in all honesty. Focus more on GW31, IMO.
Open Controls
Hello, quick question.
Should I change Cazorla to Mata? ]
The only pro I see is he plays this week.
Thanks 🙂Open ControlsHazard.
Open Controls
My gut is telling me to captain Rooney over RVP. Probably madness, right?
Open Controls
I was thinking of him over Hazard
Open ControlsVan P has the form
Open Controls- Open Controls
Is this not THE perfect week to punt on a captain??? If i have 11 players surely it is tgis week no?
Zaha, Evra or Snoddy with Zaha firmly on my mindOpen ControlsOr its Haz at capt with EVERYONE else. Or Rooney
Open Controls
Adam out....Snoddy or Jany in? Or is there another option?
Open ControlsWalters for me...
Open Controls
Marshall (Mannone)
Terry, Ward, Vertonghen (Mertesacker, Coleman)
Ince, Hazard (c), Mata (Nolan, Sterling)
Lambert (Suarez, Sturridge)
2.4 in the bank - no free transfers
So....
A.) good to go - with 8 players.
B.) Mertesacker out for Chambers
C.) Mertesacker out for Vidic
D.) Mertesacker out for Evra
E. ) Another transfer
???
ThanksOpen Controlslike many I'm not amped about Ars fixtures, I did and would endorse D (or C)
Open Controls
6 players including Burner. Should I use my transfers and spend some points?
I could sell:
Kosc Turner Coleman
Yoyo Pozuelo
Ade S&SOpen ControlsBeside Kosc I can't see who other I can sell. Probably for Evra but that leaves me with 4.7 for Pozuelo replacement, the son of a bitch fell in price last night
Open Controls
Any news on noone? Can barely contain myself in bringing him in for -4!
Open Controls
Save FT?
Boruc
Fonte Cahill Ward Gabbidon
Hazard Mutch Snodgrass
Adebayor
Mannone Suarez Sturridge Sterling Yaya
Then:
GW30: Koscielny > Coleman (FT)
GW31: Adebayor + Snodgrass + Gabbidon > Aguero/Lukaku + Nolan + Shawcross/5.6 (-4) ??Open Controls
