We roll out the next instalment of our weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the set of fixtures ahead. This week, more than most, getting the armband call correct looks crucial – given that all of our featured five have acquired at least 12% of the votes cast in the Gameweek 16 Captain Poll, opinion looks split right across the board. Time to delve into the data, then…

        Haha. Can totally understand. I actually forgot to check on my UCL Fantasy team because of i'm concentrating on the Hoops one.

        So i assume you can just accept whatever trade that i'm gonna propose. 😛

          I don't think that would be fair to the others because I am totally out of the loop and you may get an unfair advantage 😉 Am I doing well?

            Haha. Our friend Leo the Commish can veto it anytime, anywhere! 😀 Not sure if he's veto trigger happy or not, though.

            Not that well, second from bottom :(. But you managed a respectable draw with leaders Leo the Snakey Juicy last time around.

                Are you kidding me? CP3, Bledsoe, Wall, Millsap and Anderson..you got a very good team, actually! Hard luck imo.

                  Back when I used to play NBA fantasy, John Wall was my favourite player to own. CP3 as well. Millsap was always a solid pick too, good for 15/10 on any night. Didn't realise Bledsoe was doing well, what do you know.

                    This is my first attempt at NBA Fantasy, and i'm loving it. Plus i'm placed second now behind the Commish.

                    You should spend some time on it, bud. You got a nice history with it 😉

              He was great when he was with the Cavs, although it was so frustrating that he couldn't seal the deal and bring home a championship. A great baller indeed. I'm sure he's fantasy gold.

    Christian Eriksen is back.
    Worth monitoring for jan WC,I rated him better than ozil due to price difference.
    At 7.1 player of his caliber is a steal and a viable 4th mid option with 3 big hitters in mid.

    Lotta talk about Marshall / Speroni rotation at the moment.

    In the spirit of Christmas giving, look what you get for the REST OF THE SEASON if you plumped for Marshall and Mannone (4.2!) any time from now:

    WBROM
    NOR
    SOU
    SUN
    VILLA
    WHAM
    SOU
    STOKE
    NOR
    HULL
    VILLA
    HULL
    WBROM
    FUL
    CPL
    nor (you don't want LIVERPOOL @ Home)
    WHAM
    CPL
    EVE/sou (could be worse)
    STOKE
    CAR
    new (or ManU Away - possibly better, lol)
    SWA

    Don't know about you guys, but that reads like a bedtime story.

    I know it's Cardiff and Sunderland but both are capable of cleanies (remember Southhampton's clean sheet joke status at the beginning of last year before they became the new Stoke?) and if Mannone keeps his spot, he's a snip at 4.2 (Westwood @ 4.5 ain't the worst option either)

    Sorry if this has been highlighted already, but I laghed out loud when I stumbled on this combo the other day.

    I'm currently running Myhill Marshall which is pretty sweet till the new year but Foster waiting in the wings forced me to look for a myhill replacement. Santa suggested Mannone.

    Merry Christmas

        I brought in Baker for villa's supposed dream run (they aren't a CS team like Hull or Crystal Pulis or Cardiff even) and I definately can't justify Guzan @ 5mil when I'm pretty sure that there can be no better run of fixtures for defenders and keepers than this one surely.
        Correct me if I'm wrong coz I did check most combos in this price range.
        If only Mannone vs. Westwood was clear of doubt.

            I love reading epic rotation posts on here so I was stoked to have one to throw out there myself

            Possible bookmark for failure but seems like most teams have CS potential this season - even Crystal Pulis...who woulda thought that even three weeks ago.

            Home fixtures all season avoiding the top half of the table are as good as any reason for buying keepers and chaep defenders I reckon

          Need that number under 250 by GW29 to qualify. Plenty of new entries still to come.

            I'm sitting at 269 atm. But I've been on a roll killing off my overall rank just lately. I've rose over one million places in 5 weeks!

              A rank of around 10K by GW29 will probably be needed to qualify.
