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”?

    Jurgen Klopp says Arsenal are the second best team in the world, more or less.

        I actually would like Arsenal to win PL or CL this year. it's the first time they have managed to keep all their players and made a good couple of additions, one more striker in January is all they need now, just hope Arsene addresses that

            Covering for a game or two is different to having a specialist there. They will need a specialist as Giroud will fatigue at the rate he is going

          Took an 8 pnt hit to bring in Aguero for him.

          Captained Aguero. Would've captained Suarez if I didn't get Kun

          Aguero got me 36 pnts.

    Sporting,

    Schurrle looks worth a punt.
    There is a chance Oscar might get rested, and Hazard won't start IMO (and I have the idiot in my team)

    Stats for your interpretation:
    Minutes : 468
    Shots : 15
    On Target : 3
    In the Penalty box : 7
    In the 6 yard box : 4
    Chances Created : 14

    He's played about 3/5 the amount of time Oscar has played. In total, has 4 shots less than Oscar. Has the same number of shots in the Penalty box. ( in both 6 yard and wide areas of PB as well)
    And has created the same number of chances.

    Seems a decent punt if you ask me.

      Thanks Arv. He did seem to have a good game last night too.

      I guess it's just my own stubbornness that is stopping me. I have Oscar so I'm loathe to bring in another CHE player who may replace my CHE player.

      If Oscar is out, I'd rather utilise my subs than waste an FT, you know?

        I'm not saying that , Aguero / Silva / Yaya returns will all be up on previous seasons because of the new manager playing with a differant style and building his team around the 3 mentioned ,
        They are and IMO will be the highest scorers I the league and I would want 2 of the above going forward.

          And Aguero is surely a must have. That means selecting who is better between Toure and Silva. And imo Silva is the better pick, the fact that he is a differential is a bonus.

              Indeed Yaya is worth mentioning and Jonty has been banging on about him for ages. He has a wicked free kick and still gets forward from his deeper position.

              Fitness is the key here and I think thats the biggest factor favouring Toure. That and the fact that he is more nailed on for every game during the congested Xmas schedule.

                I do honestly think we may be guilty of dismissing Yaya a little too easy this year and if I am being totally honest I probably would be more comfortable with Silva but if he ain't fit I'm ignoring Oscar / Hazzard too boring and getting Silva or Yaya Friday night fit Michu.

      He's the most complete (and arguably best) midfielder in the game imo.

      But from a fantasy perspective he won't score as well as Silva simply because he plays significantly behind him. He won't keep on banging 25 yard freekicks all season (or will he....) 😉

        You could actually argue that 25 yard free kicks are one of the most sustainable methods of scoring. He's clearly got the technique down, and he can go completely out of form and just keep getting chances to bang them in regardless.

                Value wise I wouldn't buy now - but nor will I sell yet. Man City do get free kicks and corners, so he will still be a goal threat.

                    Not really. I wouldn't advise people to buy him as I'd rather buy Silva if I had 9.5 to burn. But I already have him and wouldn't contemplate a sideways move to Silva - I can't possibly be more objective than that bearing in mind I'm already an owner.

          They have rotated so far in the season and they will keep rotating IMO. Ba even started versus Norwich, out of nowhere. He'll play whatever striker he thinks is best for that specific game. Maybe it'll be Eto'o every game, but it's too risky for me with other options not being short in supply.

    Idea for the season ticker:

    Selecting specific gameweeks and sorting by difficulty. At the moment they have to be in a row - but for example I've got Vorm. So, say I wanted another keeper for this gameweek, gameweek 13, gameweek 17 and gameweek 19 - you would be able to view and sort based on difficulty of those fixtures only.

    Ideal for rotations where you just want cover for the real difficult ones.

          For me almost all of them represent a strong case. So for me its about ruling out certain players. I'd rule out Hazard for obvious doubts about his starting place, and I'd rule out Benteke because Villa are in poor form offensively and he doesn't get assists. The remaining candidates are all very good options however.

      "Saturday he will be with the team.....Saturday he will be on the bench or playing..."

      50: 50 I reckon, although given the praise for Willian and Schurrle I think Hazard will start on the bench but come on.

      You will have to take a risk either way I'm afraid. Coutinho/Gerrard, Silva, Hazard/Oscar. Think those are your choices.

        Starting to think that Nasri might be a handy differential - seems to be getting 70 mins or so now and with Silva and Fernandinho seeming a bit injury prone might be his chance to shine...

      You have 3 options if you ask me.
      The best one being Silva. Waiting till Firday's press conference might give you some insight into his potential injury which could make your decision easier.

      The other two are Ramsey and Nasri.
      If Silva is injured, Nasri could be a fantastic punt. Have a look at his stats.

    Anyone else reckon Hazard now have a point to prove this weekend? Mourinho have basically declared him a reckless little boy.

        He will have rested when the other ones have not so think his chances are pretty good.

        Sounds like a little kick up the backside for him rather than anything heavy. I'd think he would more likely start than be further punished with coming on as a late sub - a case of Jose using a bit of man-management to get the best out of him.

        Since I brought in for Michu I rather hope so 🙁
