Captain Sensible – Gameweek 33

A home clash with Southampton sees Man City heavily backed in this week’s Captain Poll, with three of their options sitting in the top six. Luis Suarez, Eden Hazard and Wayne Rooney are the three front-runners, though, as we assess your selections for the weekend ahead:

With Sergio Aguero ruled out by injury once again earlier today, we take the top five available for selection in this week’s Captain Poll (Suarez, Rooney, Hazard, Yaya Toure and Edin Dzeko) as our starting point and construct a members table based around a number of their key statistics in order to flag up any other players offering a similar sort of threat.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    What x3 Everton players would you want for the DGW ?

    I have Coleman and Lukaku, but can't decide between Mirallas, Barkley, or Baines for the third.

    Any logical answer ?

      Baines and Lukaku are obvious, for me Barkley is most likely to get returns due to his.position

      Coleman. I don't particularly fancy any of those for a clean sheet and he gives you the best hope of attacking returns. If in doubt I would always go with the premium defender.

      also, for anyone considering Hazard (as I was) look at Stoke

    Current team, 0 free transfers as did Koshilney > Azplilcueta, should i take a -4 hit for anyone?

    Boruc
    Azpilicueta, Zabaleta, Baines Flannagan (Coleman benched)
    Silva, Yaya Toure, A Johnson (Ward prowse, Johnson benched)
    Sturridge, Suarez, Lukaku

    Any help would be ace thanks! Im thinking maybe Adam Johnson > Erikson?

    0.1 in bank

    I'll be losing my free transfer if I don't use this week. I think I've decided to ship Gerrard out for fear of him being benched this weekend, not on corners anymore, and if I plan on getting Aguero in I'll have to down grade a midfielder. Which are the best options....

    A. Gerard-----Eriksen (Leaves me enough to do Ivanovich to Demi next week and Lukaku to Aguero after Everton double)

    B. Gerard-----Silva (It would probably just be a punt, as I'd have to downgrade him to get Aguero in).

    C. Other

    2 FT and .4 itb

    Mannone (Boruc)

    Ivanovich, Coleman, Ward (Chester, Chambers)

    Yaya, Hazard, Gerard, Mirallas (Noone)

    Sturridge, Suarez (c), Lukaku
