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”?
Guys ..I don't wanna to scare you but we have crept into the deadzone.
Follow me I know a route ...........SSShhhhhhh! SSShhhhhh.Open ControlsErrr....When's the best time to WC in Fantasy UCL?
Open ControlsTwo weeks ago apparently.
Open ControlsRight now!
Teams that have already qualified are now likely to rotate their squads, so it's the perfect time to play the WC.
Good luck!Open ControlsCheers Hubert. So should I be getting a team w/out the big names?
Open Controls
So i got hazard 2 weeks ago after his 18 point haul.
Hes done 2,2 and now is unlikely to start.
What a fail.Open ControlsThere is no unlikely to start that I know of, got a link?
Open Controlsyou and Colonel Shoe should do Whine & Cheese together some time
fine pairingOpen ControlsU have to hold and start, im sure u have someone solid enough to come on if he doesn't.
Open ControlsJWP vs Hull. Not too bad i guess.
Open Controls" JWP vs Hull. Not too bad i guess. "
I promised myself no transfers until after the international break but......
JWP in ------- Brady out ?
Brady, even despite his rush back to action after his hernia op is going to play more regularly surely ?
And he takes peno's and free kicks
I am thinking out loud ..... Must. Resist. Urge. To. Transfer.Open Controls
Dunno what order to stick this lot in this week? Have it currently like this,
Boruc
Dawson Terry Toure
Ozil Barkley Januzaj Townsend
Rooney Suarez (c) Aguero
Chesney Brady Clyne Brayford
1.6m in the bank.Open ControlsTough choices, pal. I'd definetely play Clyne, though. Hull at home is as good a fixture for a Southampton defender. It's a tough one but would probably play Clyne over Januzaj or Barkley.
Open ControlsYeah that's how I've had it all week till today. Just feel I'll be sick if januzaj plays and does something. Maybe Barkley.. What way would u go over the next few weeks, thinking chesney Ozil Barkley out Walcott Ramsey Silva in. I know I need more weight in midfield
Open ControlsBeing light in midfield has been the way to go so far, let's see if that changes. Monitor Barkley's starts -- he might be one you might want to part company with over the next couple of weeks.
Open Controls
Not a Townsend fan as a FF option, but like the team otherwise. Clyne in for me, maybe over Jan.
Open Controls
Oscar & Vertonghen went up
Agger & Evra went downOpen Controlsnot sure why Agger isn't playing yet
Open Controlsbrendon rodgers said that skrtel is keeping him out of the side because he is playing good and has done nothing wrong. pretty amazing the depth liverpool has in the CB position and then no where else.
funny a barcelona/ napoli target, liverpools VC is on the bench. absolutely crazy.Open ControlsThere was a quote from Brendan R saying that Martin S has impressed and is keeping Daniel A out of the line-up. Something along the lines of he's a fair manager and he's showing that by playing Martin S ahead of an 'international captain' who is sitting on the bench.
Now, there's no question that Daniel A should be playing ahead of Mamadou S who has been pretty abysmal, but he's a big time signing so there's some pressure on Brendan R to play him, I guess. I am sure he'll be back before too long. Maybe he'll even help Simon M keep a clean sheet...Open Controlsliverpool RCB and LCB role agger doesnt fit in to. they play alot wider, toure and sakho have alot more speed than agger and skrtel. Skrtel and Agger are in competition with eachother and thats it.
this is when they play with the 3 at the back ofcourse.Open Controlsthanks both
haven't had a clean sheet since 1st of September
think I might trot out Mr. Agger and see if that would help
and I don't blame Mignolet, he's had to make more saves than he should if Liverpool are trying to be a top club againOpen Controlsits not mignolet, or skrtels fault imo.. i agree, as a liverpool fan, skrtel is playing excellent.. his strength is incredible. love agger.. always thought his pools best defender but i like the way its motivating skrtel to play better. Sakho has been shaky at times, but he is looking better each time he plays imo and im starting to warm up to him. toure is perfect for the RCB role if they are playing 3.. bad stuff up tho v arse that nearly cost a goal..
i think they will start to gel and concede less, but you have to remember its an attacking formation, not a defending one! arsenal found alot of space on the wings, so work has to be done.Open Controls
Listened to the mourinho interview. he said hazard will be back on Saturday so nothing to worry about 🙂
Open ControlsBack in the squad on Saturday, an opening for a little anxiety!
Open Controlsback to the bench?
Open Controlshe said he will be back on the squad on saturday, whether his playing or on the bench. when he said back in the squad.. the squad includes the bench lol... so i think there is abit to worry about. scurlle deserves a shot in his preffered LW position which is also hazards prefferred position. it doesnt look good.
Open ControlsWho knows? I think he is one of mourinhos darlings, just a little slap to tell him don't be late next time, missing one game is punishment- he will be back. I hope......
Open ControlsMy scenario- he comes back, wants to prove himself- game of his life- 3 goals - voila- hazard captain!!!
Open Controlsits more than that. he said he was going to drop him anyway, not only for being late.. he said he was unhappy with how often he lost the ball and didnt do enough defensively to win the ball back.. he said he was unhappy with lapard luiz and cole also... i think his trying to show his players that no one is safe, and you have to play the way he wants. we all know his a defensive coach so he would look at the things we dont look at concerning hazard. hopefully he just misses a game, gets back in the team and shows how good he is, but this weekend i think schurlle is looking good to start.

Is Silva injured? Michu is also injured, is his price frozen?
I was going to sell Michu and Eriksen for Silva and a cheap mid. Suggestions for a cheap mid? Take a punt on Silva anyway? Any advice welcome, thanks!Open Controls" Suggestions for a cheap mid? "
The cheapest ......
Daniel Johnson - Aston Villa - £4.0
Goals ?
Assist ?
...... Ahhh no. But he represents a certain kind of value.Open ControlsWell that was very useful, thanks!
Open Controls
cheap mid.. how cheap? 5.8 hernandes would be a good pick i think if his back in the team..
or januzaj?Open ControlsI was thinking about Januzaj but eventually went with Morrison. Seems like he has decent fixtures... and he's definitely cheap! 😀
Open Controls
I've got a wee bit of an itch to play James Ward-P this week, but struggling to bench anyone. He's harshed me so much, now that he's finally starting, at home to Hull, coming off a fine performance at Stoke (beautiful assist for Jay R's goal)...
Oscar Tonwsend Ramsey Ozil JWP
Aguero Lukaku SuarezOpen Controlswho is better for next gw only ?
A- Yaya Toure
B- SilvaOpen Controlssilva injured? if not then silva for me
Open ControlsWith Silva's starting doubts, I'd probably go for Yaya's sure 90 vs Sunderland.
Open ControlsI think I will too. I guess you can always downgrade later. Sucks though.
Open ControlsYes. I'd like to get Aguero as well, but even with a -4 hit and downgrading Eriksen to Morison (which is really only a price downgrade! :-D) I can't afford him yet. I think I'll try to go Yaya -> Silva as soon as I can because Silva looks like he has more potential...
Open Controls(M)
Open Controls
if silvas starting, then silva.... if not then yaya lol.
Open Controls
Morning gents
Holly cow, just saw Welsh wižard scored again eh
😯Open Controlsyes, incredible. what a season so far, everything he touches....
Open Controls... goes in...
Open Controls
I dont have him, after manu game will get him it seems, cant be stubborn about it no more. The lad is literally on fire
Open Controls
hows the team looking?
migs (boruc)
Terry Shaw Williams(dawson rat)
Oscar Hazard Silva Ramsay(Januzaj)
Aguero(vc) Suarez (c) Lukaku
was going to save FT this week but decided im getting rid of my chelsea double mids and going to do Hazard to Coutinho,
was going to save but i really doubt hazard will start on the weekend and i been trying to decide which chelsea mid to trade for cout for a while now and think ive found the one.
hows the team looking for the gameweek? (going to wait till deadline to swap haz for cout)Open Controlsso in my team its actually going to be coutinho there instead of hazard. i only getting rid of hazard cos i dont want double chelsea mids. not only cos of the hazard situation.. just think oscar is obviously the better one to keep since mourinho said himself he is chelseas best player.
Open ControlsCan anyone see United keeping a clean sheet against Arsenal? As an Evra owner who just saw a drop price it would be funny if he registered a blank. Silva might not play and Evra is my first sub.
Open Controls...and the clock strikes DeadZone.... with a 503 Server Unavailable message.
Gives you a warm cozy feeling of home. 🙂Open ControlsJust got rid (finally!!) of Michu and Eriksen for Yaya and Morrison. Man that felt good. How's my team?
Mig (FUL, H)
Dawson (NEW, H) Terry (WBA, H) Chico (STK, H) Clyne (Hul, H) (whole defense plays at home, nice!)
Ramsey (MU) Ozil (MU) Toure (SUN, VC)
Lukaku (CRY) Giroud (MU) Sturridge (FUL, C)
Subs: Marshall, Morrison, Ward, Kim, 3.3M in the bank.
Kind of hoping to get Aguero soon. Maybe switch Toure for Silva. Will see. Looks OK?Open ControlsU must be one of the few to still have triple arsenal and no suarez aguero or rooney.. like the team for this week tho. Out of them I rekon u got the right (c).. its outta him and lukaku really.
Open ControlsI got Sturridge, and I don't know why but I'm just not into Rooney 😀
But I'm thinking about shipping out Giroud for Aguero for a hit, or maybe wait another week. But by then Aguero will be a lot more expensive... so it seems like I should.Open Controls
Worth it to take a hit to do Giroud -> Aguero (c)?
Open Controls
Ramsey's goal, lol.
http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/775095792.gifOpen ControlsLol even if its scraps.... its still a goal ayy. Im shocked that tgis ramsay bloke is still firing! Player of the year?
Open Controlsmost improved player.
player of the year would be too early to call..Open ControlsThat was clearly a joke lollll... (a joke that you laugh at... but in your head your thinking... could you imagin?
Open Controls
That's the Dortmund's fans reaction when Ramsey scored.
Open Controls
Haha... nice one.
Do you have the actual goal that I could see?Open Controls- Open Controls
Michu out for this week?
Toure(FUL) Vlaar (CAR) Williams (STOKE) Zab (sun)
Start 2 from these?? Doubling up on Soton with Shaw and Boruc..Open Controlshow abt this team ??
mignolet (gazzaniga)
lovren coleman dawson (c.davies/baker)
ozil ramsey yaya barkley (januzaj)
aguero suarez (C) lukakuOpen ControlsLooks good. Unsure over Barkley though, may not start judging from what i've seen around here..
Open Controls
Goodmorning gentlemen. I have a couple of questions, that need some of your expert opinion.
1) What do you think of Barkley's starting prospects this week? Any solid evidence to say that he was just 'rested' last week and not dropped?
2) If Silva is out, I might take a small risk and do Michu + Barkley > Nasri (or Silva if fit) + R. Morrison. Decent moves?
Thank you in advance!Open ControlsI think he might start...esp away from home where u need the legs
Also planning my michu plan and thinking coutinho if silva injuredOpen Controls
Agree
Open Controls
What's the deal with Bony Swans fans? With Michu out, will he be a regular now? He has looked quite dangerous when he has played so why isn't Laudrup picking him? More to the point, is he likely to start at the weekend?
Open ControlsAny news on Gerrard yet?
Open ControlsThere are two ways Saturday can pan out in relation to hazard.
A. He comes in fresh and more determined then ever and starts the match.
or
B. Doesn't play or is subbed on late.
Which one is more likely?Open ControlsHoping its A. Have him 😉
Open Controls" There are two ways Saturday can pan out in relation to hazard.

You forgot option C.
He sleeps-in an misses the game !
OuchhhhhOpen ControlsC. jose would be harsh on him and not use him.
(just look at casillias last year and mata this year)Open ControlsCasillas last year due to late in training?
Open Controls
Between Vidic & Michu who should I transfer out for a hit?
Vidic --> 6.7
Michu --> 9.6
Rest of the team:
Ivan Chico Clyne chester
ramsey brady barkley morrison
Rooney Suarez AgueroOpen ControlsIs the suarez starting issue still up in the air?
Open Controlsscout tweet says:
Further reports in local press suggest Suarez will turn out for Liverpool this weekend before Uruguay match
http://t.co/WPB805npCwOpen ControlsMore and more likely to play it seems.
Open ControlsNa He's been cleared to play then jumps on a private plane 😀
Open Controls
Hows lukakus knock will he play?
Open ControlsWhat do i do with this lot. Hazard has got me fooked now. Play JWP vs Hull to be safe?
Boruc
Naylor,Terry,Clyne
Hazard, RTG, Ozil, RaVeldinho
Suarez(C), RVP, Agueroooooo
Subs, Given, JWP, Baker, ChesterOpen ControlsRTG - Ramses the great
Open Controls
Nasri or Coutinho for Michu?
Open ControlsNone
Open Controls
Mignolet - Marshall
Williams - Coleman - M.Turner - Ivanovic - Collins
Coutinho - Ramsey - Oscar - Townsend - Ravel
Aguero - Sturridge - Benteke
What lineup do I go with this weekOpen ControlsLet's get to serious bussiness now, need to sort out my team.
mignolet (4.0)
Chico coleman Walker (B.Turner / Chester)
ozil ramsey Oscar barkley (januzaj)
aguero suarez lukaku
1 FT
Bank : 2.8
I am thinking about going for Chelsea defender Terry, but need you suggestion and advice.Open ControlsI'd save the free. Solid team for the week and it would leave you with 2FT for the Int break.
If you had to make the trade then long term Coleman > Terry would be my choice, but not this week.
Or perhaps Walker as both Eve and Tot fixtures are turning difficult.Open Controls
