Captain Sensible – Gameweek 24

Our Gameweek regular for members is rolled out once again ahead of tomorrow’s deadline. Liverpool’s trip to West Brom sees Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge place highly in the Captain Poll, whilst United’s visit to Stoke also supplies our analysis with a couple of popular contenders. Arsenal’s home game against Palace also comes into the reckoning, whilst we also unmask this week’s “Captain Unsensible” and cite the statistics to back up our bold punt:

    Is it wise to take a hit to remove Clyne because he is falling tonight and out of favour? Other defenders are Kosc,Chambers,Azpili,Ward!

      No. He even play, that's the dilemma you have. But points over value this stage of the season, esp for a defender.

    A few short brain teasers for you all!

    a)Play Januzaj or Puncheon
    b)Who should be my first sub?(Ward or Azpili? I am playing both Clyne and Chambers because I'm not sure which of them will start)

    Evans, Ward, MOlsson, Shaw, ______

    Mata, Yaya, Hazard, Noone, Puncheon

    RvP, Suarez, ______

    a) Benteke and Azpi and 0.6 in the bank

    b) Dzeko and Terry with 1.1 in the bank

    c) Dzeko and Azpi and 2.5 in the bank
