We roll out another instalment of our new weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the Gameweek ahead. Each of the top four supply us with a player apiece this time out as we crunch the numbers to determine whether there really is an alternative to a certain Uruguayan for the armband:

            No problem mate- as for the below, I will chime in anyway.

            I see this move similar to Yaya. Ozil is bringing in the points, seems to be a move just to be making a move to me. Assuming you have Aguero and, as you mentioned Ramsey, and assuming you have no Oscar, then you may be best off choosing which of Yaya and Ozil you could do best without since you are doubling up vs no Chelsea if you stick.

            A good problem to have surely. Good luck!

        His last 2 performances have been quality. If he keeps on scoring goals then I don't really care how he's classified positionally. Downgrading Barkley to Oviedo will allow me to upgrade Skrtel to Jagielka next week.

            If he doesn't score he's got a good chance of an assist at least. He also has a cool last name. Someone posted a player map of Oviedo after the Stoke game & he was literally all over the field on the left. He seems to be defensively sound too. If he plays well v Arsenal this week a lot of people will be buying him for gw16 imo.

    Looking at the transfers, Rooney looks sure to fall tomorrow night and could yet fall once or twice more in the coming week. That could take him from 11.2 to 10.9 or so and it makes it slightly less painful to buy him back in the worst case scenario.

      You really think that people will sell him after this weekend? I do not believe this to be the case. Those sticking will not move him out after he serves the band with Manures tasty fixtures coming up surely, no?

        Logically, yes, in practice, no. Casuals *ahem* people generally react to whatever points someone got in a particular week.

        Protection has been a bit erratic for a while. Think I've seen it for injuries, not sure about suspensions.

          Who's the last player you can remember being price protected?

          Don't count RVP, he was dodging drops because his transfers were reset after the flag came off, not because he was protected - if I understand correctly.

      He'll be unflagged surely?

    I know Wayne has top fixtures but I can see Lukaku outscoring Rooney GW 16 to GW 20 anyway, let alone the fact Lukaku gives you £3m to spend elsewhere.

      I dumped rooney for remy awhile back and have actually made more points off it because it allowed me to purchase suarez 🙂

      so i say yes

    Maybe this is a stupid question but I m not sure about that...
    If I have 2 free transfers for this gameweek and use only one, will I have two for next gameweek or just one?
    Thanks!

    Remy ---> Lukaku.
    Townsend ---> Sess

    I'm about to hit it.

    Should I?

      Remy has a decent fixture though.

        Man United away is a hard fixture, I doubt he'll score.

            In theory, though I think Lukaku poses a physical threat that might unsettle us. Different from what we normally face anyway.
