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:
im not bothered abourt the blank but have no idea who to bring in

You're in a similar position to myself, in that you could bench Aguero and Coleman and hope things become a little clearer after this gameweek.
Your squad is strong enough to get you through this weekend. It's not the best week to be buying a Man City striker as a direct replacement, let alone guess correctly which one might start!Open Controls
Surely is one of the most difficult gwks in terms of transfers, i'm cracking my head here as i 'm not sure at making an starstruck team, ready for the remainder of the season or to make one that gets me through these few gwks and save funds to upgrade plyrs/wait for injured plyrs/wait for double gwks
Open ControlsI don't think you can ignore GW28, although obviously you need to maximise your points up until then. You really need thirteen fit outfield players who are near to 'nailed-on', so that you can bench 2 or 3 Manc players.
Mata has thrown a spanner in the works by helping to revive interest in a dormant ManU.Open Controls
Anyone getting Benteke in?
Open Controls
next gw yes
Open Controls
Think so. Need to walk a different path...
Open Controls
Exciting option.
Open Controls
Thinking of Giroud to Benteke after this GW
Open Controls
who's place will Zouma take/threaten???
Open Controls
Anyone else taking a punt on Ben Arfa?
I'm hoping for a double figure return from the 'mercurial'/lazy/disappointing* Frenchman.

normally do this every year...wild card slightly got in the way this week!
Will have a look - cheersOpen Controls
Any mistakes in terms of starting XI:
boruc
baines, koscielny, bardsley
hazard, mata, silva (v), puncheon, noone
suarez (c), adebayor
yoshida, reid, agueroOpen ControlsGood to go. Even as a Saints fan, wouldn't double up on def away from home. Could go Reid if he's fit. Are you dealing with Kun next week, or expecting a swift return?
Open Controls
whos place will Zouma take/threaten ???
Open Controls
Could I get a quick poll on best City attacker for the four games before the blank?
A. Negredo
B. Dzeko
C. JoveticOpen Controls
Here's a good one 🙂
Bench Eriksen (hul) or Bony (wha)?Open ControlsWow. You must have a strong front 8.
I'm guessing your cheap midfielder is either Barkley or a Cardiff City player?Open ControlsYep, Barkley. In the hole home to Villa. He starts
Open Controls
play eriksen
Open Controls
Which one guys??
A. Play Mutch
B. RVP -4
C. Sturridge -4
Have mata and suarezOpen Controls
Is this team good to go
Marshall
Mert / Chambers / Azpi
Hazard / Silva / Lallana / Mata
Suarez / Ade / RVP
(Mannone / Ward / Parker / Chester)
Also not sure whether to play Azpi or WardOpen Controlswho's likely to score more goals at home:
Arsenal vs CP?
Or MC vs Chelsea?
(play Ward IMO)Open Controls
Fron end of last page, will Negredo start this GW?
Open Controls
Yeah, probably him and Dzeko.
Open Controls
So Final WC draft:
Mannone, Adrian
Collins Sagna, Evans, (Yoshida, Azpi)
Silva Lallana, Mirallas, Hazard (PUNCHEON)
Sturridge, SuarezOpen Controls
Who's the third Striker? Collins may be dropped when Reid is back. Yoshida will definitely be dropped when Lovren is back, although that will be a while. Mirallas a good pick, short term at least.
Open Controls3rd striker is Giroud then doing Giroud to Tekkers next week. So you think i should removed Collins and Yoshida? but then who are good two defenders i can replace between 4.0-4.2 who are starters?
Open Controls
Getting there, need to break top 1,000:
A) Aguero - Benteke. Hold Ramsey. Play Ki
B) Ramsey - Lallana. Hold Aguero. Play Ki
C) Aguero - Benteke, Ramsey - Toure (take -4)
D) Aguero - Rooney, Ramsey - Lallana (take -4)Open ControlsThanks - yes no Silva as I've got Mata and Hazard as my other two top mids.
Just considering whether to hold off for a week to get Yaya and just do Benteke as I've a feeling Mourinho may shut City down and I have three playing subs of which Ki is the best.Open ControlsYeah tricky one - Ki + 4 vs Yaya could go either way. No price changes for Ramsey/Yaya so probably just about safe to wait until next week. I'm going -4 (Aguero -> Rooney probably) as otherwise i'll have no subs.
Open ControlsThink that's the right call - no subs means Rooney only really needs an assist probably to get your money's worth.
Open Controls
I'd do D. Most would do Kun > RVP. This makes Rooney a great differential and he can get well amongst the points. Lallana is no slouch too.
Open ControlsCheers chaps. Does sound as though Rooney will start.
I hate taking hits, almost never do it but this seems a worthwhile cause, just feels odd with three subs.Open Controls
I think Moyes and crew don't have a lot of room for toying around. He should bring out his strongest side, especially away at Stoke.
Open ControlsThat's certainly my thinking. Only issue would be any sensitivity re the injury after the cameo on Tuesday.
Open ControlsI think Rooney will be raring to go and will put in a full shift. Sure, might get subbed around 70th minute mark, but by then, he could easily have a brace.
Open Controls
Chester -> Evans (-4)
Means I Can bench Ward This week + have safetynet in case Bardsley does not play.
Can also bench Coleman Next gw.Open Controls
Anyone punting on Jecko??
Open ControlsMy arse went.
Too much risk, I need team surgery so I went safe with JRod.
Sucks I know...Open ControlsQuite a few.
Open Controls
Start Januzaj or take a -4 to replace Aguero (Max 12.4)?
Open Controls
2 Red Cards rescinded .. Can the Refs and Linesmen get the 3 match ban instead??
Open ControlsAnd take away the pen, and replay the game? TV replays are needed for such big calls
Open ControlsCan I get my 3 points and transfer back for Bradley Johnson!!
Open Controls
Just a shame the officials can't watch a video replay at the time and make a better decision there and then.
Open Controls
Repost to a new and cooler crowd 😎
A) Aguero + Cabaye > Sturridge + Mata (-4)
B) Aguero + Cabaye > Sturridge + Yaya (-4)
C) Aguero > Sturridge, play Jedinak
CheersOpen ControlsFlattery will get you everywhere. I'd go B personally.
Open Controls
A but get Yaya in another way in the next GW.
Open ControlsI really want Yaya in there. Could always bit the bullet and do Silva > Yaya if necessary, or Giroud > Negredo/Dzeko if we know a bit more about their team selections.
Open Controls
Hi everyone ! Best def for 4,5 or less ? Flanagan ?
Open Controls
Coming up next on #SSN Ian bolton live in Chelsea with breaking news regarding the future of Sunderland's Lee Cattermole
HAHAHAHA WTFOpen Controls
a) Coleman, Aguero, Wilshere -> Baines, Lallana, Studge (-4)
b) Coleman, Aguero, Wilshere -> Baines, Yaya, Dzeko (-4)
c) Some combination of the above?
d) something else?Open Controls
10 years, 2 months agoWith the injuries to Coleman, Ramsey and Aguero, amongst several others, is anybody else finding the decision-making this Gameweek one of the most difficult yet?
With the impending blanks in GW28, and the unpredictable Man City v Chelsea this gameweek, the decisions seem doubly difficult. It is not the best time to be bringing in ManCity players, nor is going to be very helpful in a few weeks time if you bring in Rooney or Van Persie. Doubling up with Liverpool attack is a viable option on Sturridge's current form, but Liverpool do tend to blow hot and cold.
How much is GW28 influencing your transfers this week?
