Captain Sensible – Gameweek 36

This week’s Captain Poll is a far more open affair, with players from four teams taking up the top five spots. Arsenal’s home clash with Newcastle brings in-form duo Aaron Ramsey and Lukas Podolski onto the radar, United’s first match since the dismissal of David Moyes boosts our faith in Wayne Rooney, whilst Luis Suarez and Sergio Aguero are, as always, amongst the usual suspects despite tricky weekend encounters against the Chelsea and Palace defences:

We take the top five in this week’s Captain Poll 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.

      If you look at their teams...easy to find as they are one and two in the overall standings...you can see whether they have made any transfers and how many. You can also see how much money they have left. I was speculating as to Luke's transfers based on him having no money left and making two transfers early.

        He left a message on our Youtube channel while we were recording live saying "noooo Jonty" which makes me think I guessed his transfer correctly and then publicly broadcasted them. Whoops.

      22 is nothing.
      If you think Rambo will score the most, go for him. Just go for the player you think will score the most. I'd go Suarez or Aguero over him personally though

        true but if he feels his team is "better" in theory than his opponent then having the same captain is not a bad option as 22 points can be gained through the rest of the team.

    Those leading in their ML, are you looking to cover your rivals team at this stage and match their key players, or still playing your own game? Interested to know how many people adapt tactics at this stage of the season

      Having moved from being 100 behind to almost 100 ahead, it is clear that doing my own thing is more beneficial. Of course, it's always fun when your rival can't make up ground due to similar teams

      Rooney.

      Careful what you say mate. I know you just mean it in the way that the vast majority of players are guys, but it could easily be taken in a bad way.

      If she has neither it takes pressure off the decision since both are differentials.
