Captain Sensible – Gameweek 23

We roll out the next instalment of our weekly article for Members tonight, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the set of fixtures ahead. With Luis Suarez topping the Captain Poll, we assess the Everton defence ahead of the Anfield Merseyside derby. We also dig deep into the data of Eden Hazard and Samuel Eto’o ahead of the home game against West Ham, whilst Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney’s prospects are also discussed, with the latter now back in full training ahead of Cardiff’s visit on Tuesday evening:

      Pretty much exactly what I'll be WC-ing to next GW, albeit with slightly cheaper defense as my TV can't really hold that. Front 8 is identical, I'm also thinking Mirallas might be a good bet to alongside Ramsey, he seems to be in FPL mode.

    DOUBLE TROUBLE

    So, we have our first major DGW curve ball thrown at us.

    GW 28: ManU/Mcity/Sun/Wba all have blanks
    GW 28: Possible blanks due…to be confirmed
    GW 31: Double game weeks for Man U & Man City

    I've read some posts on here stating that you need to own 3 players each of Man City & Man United at all costs to be successful. 🙄

    Let's see...

    Last year I owned Kompany for a City DGW only to see him get 2 pts in the one fixture and not even on the bench the second. I cried my eyes out. Like a girl.

    The year before I was lucky enough to own Essou Ekotto for a goal, CS and bonus for a 15pt haul
    in a spurs DGW. Granville cried. Like a girl.

    Instead of just filling up your team with a many as possible "DGW bodies" I suggest you concentrate on quality rather then quantity. The Kun's/Mata's/Silva's/Rooney/Rvp are priority number 1.

    I've seen defenders like Evans & Kolarov mentioned. Beware of the risk attached to those players.
    A Norwich(SUN) or Hull(WBA) defender will probably outscore them in gw 31.

    Save a trade and do a 3 transfer, -4 for the DGW is my advice.

    Oh, and pick the right captain!

    GOOD LUCK
