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.

Flanagan - Coleman - Chester
Hazard - Yaya - Silva - Nolan
Suarez - Sturridge - Lukaku

Adrian - Dann - Bardsley - Sissoko

I have 2FT's and 0.2 in the bank.. Currently inside the top 5k..
Any suggestions to be made to my team...??

Nolan ----> Eriksen.. (feels strange to not bring in a dgw)
Sturridge ----> Dzeko

Ill probably keep two for next week and use one!

Aguero points per game 7.7

Sturridge points per game 7.4

Can Aguero outscore Sturridge for the remainder of the season given how long he's been out.

I'm seriously contemplating taking sturridge out for Dzecko this week which means I definitely won't get Aguero next week, even if he plays against Liverpool (maybe 60 mins) surely he won't play again 3 days later....will he?

    2 games. See: http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/suspensions
    
    Cut off is second sunday of april (13th) inclusive. Since their city fixture is that day, if he getts a caution either this gw or next, he serves a 2 game suspension.

Have 2 FT and need to use one or it disappears into the ether.

Mannone Marshall
Ward Coleman Zaba Cahill Chambers
YYT Hazard Silva Gerrard Mutch
Lukaku Studge Suarez
0.1 ITB

Am pondering either moving :
A. Gerrard to Eriksen in anticipation of either a yellow, being benched, and to free up funds for a potential Aguero transfer.
B. Marshall to 3.9 just to free up funds for future transfer.
C. Open to any suggestions you may have

Thanks

  I'm in almost the same boat and I am strongly considering A. Eriksen has been shite for majority of the season but there is so much potential explosiveness in him and great fixtures. Add in the fact that Gerard might even be on the bench this weekend and you're making the move to fund a future aguero transfer, I think it's a great transfer.

    That's my feeling too. Plus if Gerrard gets a yellow either this fixture or vs City he will reach his 10 card limit and be out two GW. But not having Gerrard has burned me many a time this season so hence the hesitancy...
