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:

      only 7 players playing if puncheon doesn't start . could also do double olsson and snod for kosc and puncheon . not sure if points hit is best idea though

      I'd get rid of Kos just bc hes only got one decent fix coming up. Dunno about punch keeping myself but Ive been looking at Richardson as a decent option

    Should I get Olsson for Bruce (or any Norwich defender) or should I just save the FT and field 9 (8 if Noone is out)? Thanks

    So... I dumped Giroud for RVP this week. Captain him or Hazard?

    Also, I have one more free transfer. I can field 8 (if Puncheon & Snodgrass play). Not sure if I should burn the second transfer, or hold it to bring in more DGW players with less hits.

    Thoughts?

    Evening all

    This week I have 2ft and the obvious answer is to bring in MUFC cover for the simple reason they have five games in the next four GW. In addition I only have six starters for GW29

    So why haven't I done it already ?

    I want Aguero and it would mean taking a hit and taking out a DGW player to do that.

    Mufc fixtures include free scoring city and pool so from a clean sheet perspective not great.

    I've already got RVP and he's the only one I really want

    So the plan

    This GW use 2 FT

    Kos to Chambers ( doubling up on Southampton away to palace)
    Lallana to Mata

    This will give me 7 for 29
    GW 30 - Ade to Aguero
    GW 31 -burner to Flanagan

    Ending up with 10 DGW

    Boruc,
    Baines, Chester, Flanagan,
    Mirallas, Mata, Ox, Sterling
    Aguero, RVP, Suarez,

    Davis, Ward, Chambers, Gnabry

    It would also leave me additional 1mil to spend on a hit

    Savy ?

          Considering that too but think evertons def will give good short term returns and easily swappable back to Azpi or Cahill.
