Up next this busy Friday evening, we dive into the Opta data with our usual pre-Gameweek members’ article assessing the main captaincy candidates for the upcoming round of fixtures.
To get underway, we check in with the Captain Poll contenders, then examine the Opta numbers and Rate My Team rankings before highlighting a differential or two to help advise on your armband dilemma.
Yes
No
No
I have
No
Cheers
Origi to Benteke for a -4?
Yes
Not worth a hit this week
Play alonso or valencia or robertson?
Alonso
Thanks
Tony V
Aguero to Kane?
Already have Eriksen and Ali.
I think will probably go for it as think Kane too risky not to own looking at his record.
If Kne scores well to orow it could be painful for you
Who to play:
A. Gabbi
B. Yoshida
C. Gibson
Gabbi would mean AOA
C
C
Is it possible to start a jihad on Kelvin Mckenzie?
It's surely not a bad thing, is it?
You know he is doing it on purpose. To wind up Liverpool (i.e. the city). What a scumbag.
GTG?
Pickford | Valdes
Alonso Alderweireld Valencia | Evans Amat
Hazard Alli Zaha King Sanchez (VC)
Kane (C) Anichebe | Carroll
Still can't decide who have way to go. What do you think?
A) Erikson, Alonso and Carroll for Zaha, Davies and Kane -8
B) Erikson, Alonso and Llorente for Zaha, Davies and Kane -8
C) Sanchez and Carroll for Zaha and Kane (Leaves 1.5m in bank)-4
D) Sanchez and Llorente for Zaha and Kane (Leaves 1.5m in bank)-4
Heaton (Foster)
Alonso McAuley Valencia (Friend) (Amat)
Sanchez Sigurdson Ali Erikson (Capoue)
Lukaku Llorente Carroll
➡️Who are you captaining and why?⬅️
I'm currently on Kane.
BOU ship more goals and I've never seen Spurs play so well.
The focal point of the best attacking team in the league right now
Benteke? Bold choice...
Play a or b?
a. Heaton (eve)
b. Grant (HUL)
B all day. Hull are the second worst team away from home (behind Burnley) and have scored the fewest goals away from home (8 in 16 games)
B by a country mile
B
I've plyed my WC & loaded up on Spurs & Palace so help me... Hoping for 70 points from Ward, Toby, Zaha, Alli, Kane(c), Benteke... See you on the otherside 🙂
Heaton
Ward, Toby, Alonso
Alli, Zaha, Coutinho, Hazard
Kane(c), Lukaku, Benteke
(Pickford, Yoshida, Gibson, King) +0.7ITB
What if Kane doesn't start ?
Then there's always next season 🙂
This lol. Game over. Oh well, only 5x weeks left anyways.
What if lukaku doesn't start ? what if
Then I'm without both C and VC :/
Destruction of personal property. My TV would be at serious risk
Someone else will
Bottomed
Who would you rather have for Dgw37
A)Lukaku
B)Jesus
C)Ibra
Too early to decide
Hennessey or Pickford for this GW?
Hennessey
Henny is the way to go (til 36 at least)
Next season I will win the whole shebang, I can feel it
No matter what, I'm going back to slow & steady next year. It works so much better for your OR.
No transfer hits, no kneejerks, no fixation on TV, wait until Saturday morning to do transfers etc. etc.
*yawn* 😉
Chances of a Watford CS?
Should I do Phillips > Zaha AOA instead of playing Holebas?
swansea are dire, good chance
Got it down to 2 options:
A. Ibra+Eriksen > Kane+Zaha (then buy Ibra back next GW)
B. Valencia > Bailly (save 1FT and assess next GW)
Team:
Valdes
Walker • Valencia • Stones
Zaha • Sanchez • Alli • Coutinho • Sane
Kane(C) • Lukaku
(Jakupovic • Barnes • Stephens • Chambers)
Team with A sorry 🙂
Team B 🙂
Valdes
Walker • Bailly • Stones
Eriksen • Sanchez • Alli • Coutinho • Sane
Ibra • Lukaku(C)
(Jakupovic • Barnes • Stephens • Chambers)
Anyone around?
yes
So...
Ibra to Kane for -4 now? or transfer him after GW34?
After gw 34
After! Not with a hit
GW33 3-4-3 (Valencia doubt, Barnes up front and might not start - horror bench)
Pickford (WHU)
Alonso (mun) Valencia (CHE) Bavies (BOU)
Alli (BOU) Eriksen (BOU) Alexis (mid) Siggy (wat)
Lukaku (BUR) Aguero (sou) Barnes (eve)
Subs: Heaton (eve) Friend (ARS) Yoshida (MCI) Fletcher(LIV)
No idea what to do with this team. What would you do?
Play
A) Heaton
B) Pickford
Pickford
B
A
No love on the last page 🙁
Gtg? Bench order and starting 11 look ok?
Hennessy
Valencia Bavies Alonso
Sanchez Alli Siggy Coutinho Zaha
Lukaku Kane (C)
Pickford Brunt Francis Barnes
yup
Play Barnes over kane
🙂
Of course 🙂
Will walker start or should I transfer him out to Davies ?
He will start imo mate
Play your sub if he doesn't. Not worth a transfer.
is it worth bringing in valdes for the double or stick with heaton (H) to utd
Dude bring in Hennessey right now
Play lanzini or negredo?
Lanzini surely?
Walker Alonso Valencia Gibson Amat.
Will 3 of them play?
Dele Alli's stats really are incredible
yes
So young as well.. think he'll go to Real Madrid?
Just can't believe his age, so rare for a player that young to not just have potential but actually produce. Scary.
Yes I actually can see him going to Real Madrid in the next 3/5 years
What is your stance on triple captain this week?
Took -8 this week, so considering triple capping Luk or Kane to keep my ML lead...I have both bench boost, triple cap and my second WC available.
I say no. WC 35 TC 36 BB 37
I think Lukaku or Kane this week should outscore Sanchez despite DGW in 36.
Definitely possible. But also possible Kane plays 70 minutes and blanks. I'd go for the (basically) guaranteed extra game playing points from Sanchez and then take a chance on a huge score. Two chances at bonus etc.
Ok, maybe you're right. To keep a ML lead, play conservative and TC the DGWer.
On current form, I completely agree, but Sanchez could turn it on & prob just worth the gamble in waiting imo.
I don't think I could ever bring myself to use TC on a single game week player
Cheers! Thanks for providing some perspective. Got rid of Sanchez this week for Kane and Zaha, will probably get him back for DGW tho (WC)
I need a hand. Which would you prefer to play this week?
1. Sanchez, Barnes (means I can get Zaha next week)
2. Aguero, Townsend (means I will play Siggy next week)
Thanks in advance.
Do you need my lefty or righty? This week 2
Either is appreciated. Much thanks.
Tough Eddie. Why Townsend not Zaha in 2?
I think it's a coin toss honestly
.1 off bring Zaha straight in for Sanchez without a hit. Don't really want Townsend.
Might lose Heaton for Valdes for a hit and bring in Zaha.
I'm into women, sorry....
Hattricks for Lukaku, Benteke & Kane tomorrow 🙂
link?
Yes Please!
Possible But then so are red cards for each of them.
You have the Kane & Lukaku spellings down but misspelled Origi 😉
Captain?:
A) Kane (will he play 90?)
B) Alli (midfield)
C) Lukaku (Burnley can defend on their day?)
Kane for me, how many times will you have the opportunity to captain a differential Kane at home to Bournemouth? Pros outweigh the cons
7 years, 24 days agoSiggy > Zaha for -4 pts
