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:
Just done Ravel->Jonjo
Gawd what have I done 🙂Open ControlsMichu back this weekend right?
Open ControlsCalm those knees. Not sure how different this is to the Sess-wagon u did well to avoid. In 2 weeks you'll want rid
Open ControlsProbably, but I don't want to sell players that are playing this weekend for fear of them biting me. Selling Ozil or Gerrard just doesn't make sense.
Open ControlsDid u have to sell any?
Chris Brunt not take your fancy? 😉
Actually better fixtures short term and more secure til Jan. Penalties too if Morrison returns to the bench with Mulumbu's return...Open Controls
Nice. Been unable to decide due to doubt over his ability to play GW15, Europa and GW16 in a week. Hopefully he gets rested for Europa, but they need a point.
Open ControlsCasual

What are the chances of Oscar playing at the weekend?
Open ControlsRight!
Remy>Lukaku & Ozil>Hazed for free!!
If you come any closer, I'm gonna push this button!
I mean it!!!Open Controlshelp me make up my mind plz team in a bad way but i had suarez cap 😉
mignolet
coleman terry gabbidon mertesacker/clyne
yaya ozil lallana/morrison williams
suarez remy rooney
a)lallana rooney/ haz lukaku
b)lallana rooney/ jonjo aguero
c)lallana williams/ jonjo whittinghamOpen ControlsI'm against selling Rooney, offers a captaincy option each week. Aside from Suarez I wouldn't trust captaining anyone else in that team.
Open Controls
Rooney and Mirallas out, Yaya + Lukaku in. Its ok?
Open ControlsPlay 2 from 3... Walcott, Whitingham and Amalfitano?
Open ControlsOscar to Hazard and
A) Dawson to Ward/Gabbidon
B) Barkley to Pozuelo
ThanksOpen ControlsRooney!
Open ControlsI also might end up with Ozil on my bench 😯
Can I afford to bench Brady, Hazard, Whittingham or Morrison looking at their fixtures.Open Controls
Please rate my team, any suggestions?
De Gea Lewis
Terry GJ Burner Gabbidon
Barkley Brady Sess Hazard
Suarez (C) Aguero (VC)
Subs: Clyne Rooney Ravel 2.2mil in bankOpen ControlsNo deadzone for the next month it seems? 😆

Mig lewis
Chico Dawson Mert Gabbidon CLYNE
OSCAR Nasri Ramsey Jwp Brady
ROONEY Kun Suarez
.5 in the bank 1ft
Thanks in advance ladsOpen ControlsIs the second bit just to fund it?
Brunt if possible. Bannan looks the best pick for his price thoughOpen Controls
How did Willian play midweek? Did he do enough to keep Oscar on the bench?
Open ControlsIs Brady > Shelvey a resonable move?
Open ControlsAnyone in the UK watching the Ashes still?
Open Controlsjust us aussies 😉
Open Controls
Gerrard to Hazard or just leave it?
Also which two to play from these:
Mutch, Brady, Santon & Coleman
Normally i'd go with the mids with close calls like this but am thinking that utd may struggle without Rooney or RVP and Everton have just been so strong defensively...Open ControlsThe mids. Everton have been good but not great defensively if u watch their games. Extremely lucky with half the cleanies. United should give Chicharito a start with Kagawa behind - expect goals, especially if they create as many clear chances again.
Open Controls
I have enough cash for Brady > Shelvey after tonight when he rise
so wait The news about Oscar and don't lose
The FT ... If Oscar will not Play next Match so sell him For Shelvey or other one ?Open Controlsanybody doubling on Palace defence (GK + defender)?
Open ControlsNo No
Open Controlsjust thinking of how to replace Migs and Boruc. Need rotation with Howard.
Open Controls
Iam Doubling on Cardiff and Palace Defenders 🙂
Open ControlsI'm thinking about this as well. They have strong home fixtures. but leaning towards Palace and Everton doubles.
Open Controls
I'm not thinking of it, but there's no reason not to. You don't want to have two defenders from a lower-half side (or any side most of the time), but goalkeepers do not rotate with defenders, so having a keeper and a defender is not a problem. Palace has been solid at the back, though personally I would save the money and play Howard every week.
Open ControlsThanks. This is sensible. Howard actually has top fixtures all the way to end of January, home and away. Who would you have with Howard, though?
Open Controls
Help me fix this defense over the next couple weeks:
GJ Dawson Williams Clyne Burner
Next week looking to get Everton defender..
Who else should I be looking at?Open ControlsRooney&Sess OUT --> Lukaku&Hazard IN for -4?
Migs
Dawson, Gabbidon, Chester, Burner
Özil, Ramsey, Gerrard, Sess
Suarez, Aguero
K.Davis; Clyne, Rooney, Ravel
I would get Chelsea coverage, a 3rd playing FWD this GW and Lukaku has great fixtures afterwards. Would you do it?Open ControlsBench Chico or Gabbidon
Open ControlsJonny Evans-how likely is he to start this weekend? Worth taking the risk or play it safe and go with Shawcross. Not that I want to.
Open ControlsHigh. Long term will start 3 out of every 4 imo.
Open Controls
Time to turf Tekkers for Lukaku? I'm selling him after Fulham anyways so may as well beat the price rise.
Open ControlsI'm forgetting the price rise and selling after fulham.
It's away. And its Fulham. At least 3 goals for Villa imo, question is whether Benteke will start.Open Controls
How has bannan looked? Very nice fixtures till Jan.
Open ControlsGuys agian sorry
A- Brady > Shelvey tonight before price rise
B- Oscar > Shelvey if we sure he will not play >> do it TomorrowOpen ControlsPEPIN IS BACK!
*drumrolls*Open ControlsSense is telling me to ditch Benteke (I have 11.0 to spend should I want him out)
Another part of my brain thinks that the rest he had on Wednesday night may spur him on for the weekend... after all, Fulham are one of the poorest sides in the league.
What are other Benteke owners doing?Open ControlsI'm keeping this week and swapping for Rooney next week. I already have Lukaku and Suarez, and Man United's fixtures look amazing.
