In the first instalment of a new, weekly article for members, we conduct some in-depth statistical analysis into one of the most crucial aspects in any given Gameweek – just who we entrust with the Fantasy armband. This week the options are plentiful – Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham all feature at home, City travel to basement-dwellers Sunderland, while a couple of Belgians are also in the running as clear captain contenders. With an array of talent on show, just who is “Captain Sensible”?
"Jose Mourinho says Eden Hazard's poor timekeeping resulted in him being dropped for Chelsea's home win over Schalke"
Don't mean to scaremonger anyone, but think he could get benched. Willian produced a MOTM performance vs Schalke and should retain his place. Can't see Schürrle being dropped either.
Lesson taught and Eden hopefully back with a bang after the international break.
Either way, don't bring him in if you're considering him this week.Open Controls- Open Controls
This is one where it's going to be OK if Jose is telling the truth.
We don't know though...toss a coin I guess!
Jose is a funny man
Midfield doesn't do anything anyway hahaOpen Controls
Got Schurrle Sunday night 😎
Hazard didn't want to know against Newcastle either, faffing about and feigning injury after a bad touch so he wouldn't have to track back.Open Controlsand in the next sentence he says and he will be back on saturday

Why is Maurice Edu still at Stoke. It's a pathetic how he hasn't forced through a move to another club to actually play. 0 minutes so far this season and 11 last season!

0FT & £0.5 ITB
All in order??Open Controlsdawson -> barkley
Open Controlsif you don't play barkley v palace when will you ever play him?
wait for news but most people think he will startOpen Controlsmaybe Aguero VC?
I'd be tempted to play Barkley as well....Open ControlsOver who though?! Dawson? (Newc do have Remy/ Goufy/ and Cabaye).
Open Controls
Mind you if Hazard doesn't play the point is mute as Barkley would come on. 😉
Open Controlsactually it is a moot point if Hazard does play. If he doesn't it is no longer moot.

The reasons for Getting Yaya Not Silva..
1- Yaya is Selected by : 37.0%
2- Yaya Play 90 Mins
3- Yaya Play free Kicks very nice and scored 5 Goals till now . Rambo scored 6
4- Silva may not Play 90 Mins every match and next match may he get rested v.s the weaken team in league
5- My rival Friends H2H Leagues Have Him 😀
SO Michu > YayaOpen ControlsThink it's pretty close between the two really.
The amount of chances Silva creates does sway it a tad in his favour for me however.Open ControlsWhy do you keep putting capitals on things that don't need capitals?...

My esteemed colleagues.....1FT & £0.6 in the wife's name....
Boruc (Migs)
Dawson - Clyne - Zabs
Ozil - Ramsey - Yaya - Barkley (Townsend)
Suarez - Lukaku - Sturridge
To get Aguero.....
Townsend>Mutch, Sturridge>Aguero.?
Yes or No?Open ControlsGo for it.
Open ControlsCheers Spartakmac.
Open Controls
You shouldn't have 2 teams as you lose focus!
Would be tempted to downgrade Ozil and upgrade Lukaku instead I thinkOpen ControlsCheers Cheesoid.
Whad'ya mwan about 2 teams? Downgrade Oz to whom?Open Controls
"£0.6 in the wife's name...."
Trouble with the taxman ?Open ControlsYou know how it is, Skinny!
Open Controls
yes , and kasami not mutch

I only got one response so I'll ask again Ramsey or Silva (-4)
Open Controlswho are you taking out?
Open ControlsStart a defender this week then change next week
Open Controls
Ramsey is cheaper and will get more points in the long run I think. But maybe not this weekend. If it is him you are selling to get Silva I wouldn't
Open ControlsThe problem with Silva is I have to take out GJ or Coleman for a cheaper option. GJ has a good run of fixtures and Coleman I had since the start of the season
Open Controls
Think I'm gonna start watching The L-word.
Open Controlsgreat show
Open Controls
Oscar getting the last two games. Prospects of starting this weekend?
Open ControlsCorrect or change???
Migno
Dawson chico Clyne Coleman (Wilson)
Ozil Ramsey hazard (barkley rmorrisson)
Benteke aguero suarez (c)Open ControlsI'd decided on Suarez with Fulham's injuries but the stats in this article have me wavering toward Aguero. Probably shouldn't have read it...
Open ControlsDepends on Aguero gametime.
And Sunderland defense.
Past fixtures say suarezOpen Controls
- Open Controls
Was all set to capt Suarez , however not so sure now.
If you know you have to dash off and catch a flight straight after a match it must be a little off putting.
Gerrard is out and Liverpool looked pretty average against Arsenal
Man c on the other hand are running rampant, Aguero in particular , although if Silva is injured that would count against them. Plus Sunderland have looked better since Poyet took over and they always tough at home
Will probably stick with Suarez but wouldnt be suprised if Aguero outdoes himOpen ControlsCheck out what time flights leave Liverpool that day. Make sure he doesn't have to board at half time?
Open Controlsim mighty confident in sturridge this week
Open ControlsI think Sunderland have beaten City 1-0 on the last few home occasions?
Suarez it is for moi.Open Controlssunderland played southamton today in the cup...that has me wanting to put aguero as captain,but suarez is my choice for now,yet I am considering rooney.
damn I`m confusedOpen ControlsLooking at the Paddy Power odds..
Fulham at 12/1
West Brom 10/1
Sunderland at 7/1
CP at 11/2
Arse at 23/10
seems clear they are favouring Suarez....and Studge...Open Controls
Ive not got 1 player in the top 10 ownsership currently. Going way up or way down this week.
Open ControlsWho will drop from Spurs defense when Rose returns? tx
Open ControlsMost of the teams are fairly homogeneous at this juncture - particularly up front and in the middle of the park.
Many of us now move in lock-step with our ML rivals - relying on a small handful of players to make a difference or taking a punt on a risky captaincy.
Differentials ........ reveal thyselves .... but only to me.Open ControlsI'm the only Aguero owner in my ML
At least I was last week, presumably everyone is now scrabbling to bring him in. Getting on the right bandwagons early can be just as good as differentialsOpen Controls"I'm the only Aguero owner in my ML"
Sweet !
Hard to ignore the form he is in. And form is everything really ..... probably the hardest lesson I have had to learn playing Fantasy 'football. Those subconscious misgivings about mid and lower table defenders clocking up the FPL points - difficult to overcome.Open Controls
Everyday it comes back to me do I bring in Suarez this week? Really tough decision front line is Rooney - Benteke - Aguero at the mo and any extra money will be financed by downgrading Michu. What do you think? and if yes Rooney or Benteke to go?
Open Controlsyes....Benteke out.
Open ControlsThanks gonna need a midfield I don't already have at 7 or under then not much of quality left as I have Ramsey / Townsend / Brady already. Hmmm
Open Controlsthats is abit of a cheap midfield... you got an expensive defence?
Open ControlsI got Januzaj in....good form and expecting lots of goals.
Open Controls
Is it just me or does it seem daft to sell Lukaku before this weeks fixture?
Open ControlsI'm holding.
Open Controlsdepends who u bringing in
Open ControlsVery daft , especially now Kone out for a while
Open Controls
I've ditched Rooney for Aguero and held onto Lukaku. That shows how confident i am in Lukaku for at least this week.
Open ControlsI can understand that move. Rooney's fixtures are getting tough and he will share his spoils with RVP every week.
I ditched Rooney last week for Kun and kept Lukaku for this GW in particular.Open ControlsI am concerned about RVP's toe injury issues - He certainly isn't anywhere near his best - by right he should be putting his feet up over the international break -
Open Controls
If he blanks in this one I'd be surprised. If you owned him I'd imagine he would be prime C material.
Getting rid for this fix. surely not.Open ControlsI am selling Rooney & keeping Rom-rom
Open Controlsdaft indeed

Purple rain, purple rain
Open ControlsReady??
Boruc
Davies (SWA) Dawson Terry Olson (NOR)
Hazard Özil Ramsey
Suárez Giroud Benteke
Migs, El Ahmadi, Sigurd, RoseniorOpen Controlscould try to get Aguero in?
Open Controls
Insane to consider removing Oscar?
Open ControlsJust when I thought I could go a week and save a transfer hazard does this to me
Open ControlsDoes what? He was dropped because he overslept for practice. Lesson learned. Should start in the league as they are coming off a loss. His lesson has been taught. I expect the strongest Chelsea squad come the weekend.
Open Controls
Trigger, my Russian comrade, are you saving your transfer this week? I know you are tempted by 2 FT's for the international break.
