Captain Sensible – Gameweek 38

The league’s top two dominate the upper echelons of this week’s Captain Poll as Man City and Liverpool prepare for very favourable home games against West Ham and Newcastle respectively. With both sides set to go on the attack, Luis Suarez, Edin Dzeko, Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero are joined by Chelsea’s Eden Hazard ahead of a trip to relegated Cardiff:

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 in recent matches.

Im 1 point behind 2nd place, and 8 points behind 1st, cash for top 3. Will I ship Aguero for -4 for Dzeko or keep? My 2 rivals have Dzeko so im only hoping on Aguero to outscore Dzeko

Mannone
Coleman / Azpi / Zabaleta
Yaya / Mata / Ramsey / Eriksen
Aguero / Suarez (c) / Sturridge

it's just 2 pts between me and my rival. He has Dzeko. I have Aguero.

Should I cover his Dzeko for a hit or stick with Kun ?

Do we have a clue who will start up front for Chelsea ?!

Boring getting Strurrige or Dzeko for Rooney.

May get Bony if the Swans are playing Sunderland reserves.

Good to go for a -4?

Done Rooney > RVP. Need to do Ramsey > someone under 6.4. Thinking Sterling/Arnie/Barkley. Rival has Sterling.

Rival leads by 3 points. Only differences in teams are:
ME HIM
DDG ADRIAN
RVP WICKHAM
WARD IVANOVIC

DDG
Coleman Azpi Ward
Ramsey Eriksen Mata Yaya
RVP Aguero Suarez

    eeesh. that's disappointing. Was kind of leaning towards sticking with Mata....
    
    spose concerns over Mata are 2 fold; that he wont start + that s'ton are tight...

If you are in situation like me, 1 point between opponent and you for ML 1st place, or a little more, do you have a fear you will lose just because your bad decision for this week?
I had 30 points lead, and lose it just in GW37... So, he have opportunity to do overtake me after whole year of leading....

I have a 7 point lead in my ML

We have similar teams.
The difference now is:

ME HIM
Kosc Zab
Ward Coleman
(Chester) (Evra)
(Olsson) (Terry)
Gerrard Sterling
(Ward-Prowse ) (Livermore)
Aguero Lukaku

Should I
A) take a hit and do Chester -> Zab to cover his better defenders (and then only have a 3 point lead)
B) take a hit and do Ward-Prowse -> Sterling to cover for sterling (and then put Ramsey or mata on the bench, which is players we both have) (and only have a 3 point lead)
C) Do nothing and keep my 7 point lead?

Thankful for good advice 🙂
