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…
Got 2 FTs, any advice?
Marshall
Evans Chester Coleman
Hazard Ozil Ramsey Barkley
Suarez Lukaku Aguero
Mignolet Brunt Koscielny ClyneOpen ControlsQuick question Gerrard is 9.1 going down 2nite.
I have a sell on fee ov 9.0 even if drops 2nite won't make a diffrence 2 my sell on price.
Correct?Open ControlsWhat price do you buy him? 8.8, 8.9 or 9?
Open ControlsIf you got him at 9.0 you're fine, if you got him before you'll lose 0.1
Open ControlsSure it was 9.0 il need 2 check got him for nasri same day nasri got a double
Open ControlsIt will tell you on the data view.
Good thinking, I can actually wait a day too as I got him in at 9.0Open ControlsI got him 8.9 just checked so il need 2 do 2nite?
Open ControlsI have never understood how that works. Can someone explain that to me please.
Open ControlsThe selling price of a player is the purchase price plus 50% of the gain made.
For example, if you bought a player for 8.9 and he's now 9.1, the selling price is 8.9 + (50% of 2) = 9.0Open ControlsAwesome thank you so much.
Example: If i buy player at 5.0 and he is now worth 5.7, my sell price is 5.3. And if he is about to go down in value it wont affect me because if he goes down to 5.6 he will still have a sell value of 5.3 for me right?Open Controls
Aarghh i have both Hazard and Terry...can see them both rested 🙁
Open ControlsWhy do you think they will be rested?
Terry maybe as due a rest but think hazard will playOpen Controls
Team set for the weekend:
Migs
Coleman Evra Distin
Ravel Hazard Silva Fer
Rooney Aguero(C) Suarez
Whittingham Chester Burner
😀Open ControlsRoonpig C
Open ControlsLol
Open ControlsHazard C
Open ControlsVery nice. I like.
Open ControlsLooks great, but Silva (c) for me
Open ControlsSorry, I was just prolonging the different captain suggestion gag.
Aguero's a good choice, as a SAR owner myself I'm going with Rooney.Open Controlsu piked up silva over oscar, wally and ayaya on wat reason...gut?
Open ControlsBecause he's the best player out of all of them playing for the most attacking team and working with the best striker. Plus he's nailed on whereas Wally isn't. I couldn't afford Yaya and want a differential anyway.
Open Controlsagreed. did u cnsider Oscar? hes nailed on as well and coming bak
Open ControlsYeah he was close runner up actually. It is a really hard one to decide between those two. But I have Hazard and decided I didn't fancy doubling up. Palace have looked quite good defensively recently. It is a close one though. I just prefer Silva though.
Open Controlsis Silva playin 4 sure this weekend? same here i think silva can b exlosive and already hav haz.
Open Controls
wat position overall u ave?
Open Controls
This week is terrible.
Walcott to start?
Hazard /Terry Rest possibility
Captaincy all up in the air.Open ControlsThe way my season has went. That is a high possibility.
Open Controls
How does Caulker to Coleman + Lallana to Fer look? All for -4.
Open ControlsFer is a bandwagon which will end in tears.
Open Controls
About to pull the trigger on Gerrard > Silva

Open Controls
Can't decide between Oscar, Silva for free or Hazard for a hit......need to do my transfers now....ugh..
Open Controlsoscar
Open Controls
Has Suarez been giving the deflected goal on Saturday ? Friend in work said he as
Open ControlsIt would be fair if Aguero, Rooney and Suarez all have the same score this week.
Calling for divine intervention 🙂Open Controls"Koke's release clause confirmed to be €24m euros."
£10m offer from Moyes to set the ball rolling then....Open ControlsIs clyne likely to be back for the weekend?
Open ControlsSurely after the way tonight's game went vs Napoli, Walcott gas to start vs City? 🙂
Open ControlsCAPTAINCY. WHOM?
Roonpig for me.Open ControlsDo we know how long Schneiderlin and Wanyama are out for?
Open ControlsWhat does it natter? Useless FPL players
Open ControlsYeah but they are the reason why their defenders are good FPL players
Open Controlsthis
Open Controls
use your brain

As the season has progressed my team has gone from mainly red to mainly blue.
I also cannot see myself owning a hull player any time soon as i won't be able to set up a fully colour coordinated layout when picking my team.Open Controlschester at 3.8. why not?
Open Controls
Coutinho giroud>hazard lukaku
?Open ControlsCity - Arsenal predictions?
3-1 for meOpen ControlsWould you remove Gerrard for a hit if this was team going into sat?
Mignolet
Chester Terry Burner Mcauley
Whittingham Ramsey Hazard
Lukaku Aguero Suarez
Davis Brady Shaw GerrardOpen ControlsWalcott to score v City. You heard it here first.
Open ControlsYou're welcome
Open Controls
Gerrard out for
A)Oscar
B) silva 0.1 short so mean downgrade elsewhere 4hit maybe (glen Johnson)
Current team
Degea,Davis
Coleman,mert,Johnson,bturner,Chester
Hazard,GERRARD,Ramsey,ravel,brunt
Suarez,Rooney,aguero.Open ControlsI'd be tempted by Ruddy/Marshall and Silva in for DDG and Gerrard.
Don't like to champion hits but Utd's defence has made DDG overpriced at 5.8 and since Gerrard is out long term i think it's worth while.Open Controls
Team ok for weekend?
Howard
Coleman | Terry | Burner | Chester
Ramsey | Redmond | Hazard
Aguero | Suarez | Lukaku(c)
Bench: McGregor, Gerrard, Vlaar, Brady
0 FT, 0.9m in bank
Just thinking whether I should take a hit for Gerrard > Silva or save the hit?Open ControlsMigs
Gj Coleman Merts
Yaya Hazard Ramsey Morrison
Suarez Rooney Aguero
Gazz Chester Turner Oviedo ...
Hows it looking .. Shall i start chester instaed of Merts ot Gj ??Open ControlsSuarez > Maiga
Open ControlsOf course I'm serious. Stop trolling.
Open Controls
Chester in for Mert, Arsenal will concede at least one.
Open Controls
Realistic gametime for Nasri and Hazard this weekend?
Should i take a 4 point hit to do Nasri -> Hazard?Open ControlsShould I take a 4pt hit to bring in Silva for Sess ?
Open ControlsDo what makes you happy. Brunt makes me happy.
Open Controlsno need...you have aguero already...
Open Controlswhy not bring him in next week for free?
For him to make your move profitable he'd need to score a goal, make more than one assist or assist and get 2+ BPs. He faces the league leaders.Open Controls
please help me with this wc team
szcheney (gazzaniga)
wardburner-terry-jagielka-debuchy
hazard-oviedo-ramsey-redmond-silva
rooney-lukaku-suarez
aguero and rooney? which is more influent on their team?Open ControlsYou sure you want to plat your WC team now - just 5 gameweeks until January wildcard.
I would always choose Aguero. Rooney was great without RVP - everything flowed through him. But with RVP back he'll probably drift in deeperOpen Controlsi have clicked the wc already right after sunday game....
Open ControlsOkay, let's get it sorted then.
It's a nicely balanced team with a good amount spent in each position. I would probably go for Kun over Rooney, but if you fancy a bit off a differential, Rooney is the one.
Be careful with Oviedo - he has had good attacking returns so far, but his position in in the defence, so might slow his scoring down (could be wrong though)
I would only choose Ramsey if you already owned him - too expensive now in my opinion.
Overall, good teamOpen Controls
