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:

      Effectively:

      Eriksen + RvP

      or

      YaYa + Rooney

      Rambling about on the previous thread

      Ya know every match seems to be cold and raining. If I'm a World Cup player with a niggling injury I might be tempted to play it up abit. Seeing Kun hobble off its obvious he came back too early, He could have torn something and be out thru the summer.

      Best way to replace Agüero.

      Currently have Gnabry Eriksen Özil Silva Hazard
      RVP Suarez Agüero

      Was wondering people thoughts on whether I should bring in cheap forward to replace Agüero and upgrade Gnabry to Cazorla for this week then a Man City Mid week after, or stick with same midfield and just bring in Giroud/Negredo .

      Basically whether time has come to play 3-5-2 or stick with 4-3-3.

      My thoughts on Rooney, why I am on the brink of picking him, and his gametime this weekend.

      - you don't renew a contract with lucrative money to not play him.
      - RVP started last week, Rooney came on. I think it will be the other way round this week.
      - at the very least Rooney is playing behind RVP, and when they did play together, there was a lovely selection of double figure scores.
      - Mata can only improve the situation
      - They have nice fixtures
      - I don't trust any of the City forwards to start more then 1 game in a row right now

      Would love to punt on Dzeko or Jovetic, but it just seems a bit daft when this choice is here.

      Any reasons I have missed out on? Any reasons why I shouldn't press the 'confirm transfer' button?

          I thought that was finalised now? Something working its way to 300k a week? Whether he has signed or not I'm not sure, but there were definitely talks of it. What do you think of Rooney?

            I don't know about the contract.

            He is potentially a very good option, but I'd prefer RvP if going for a United striker. I'm still concerned about how they are both going to be managed coming back from injury. United also are scoring many at the moment.

            I prefer Sturridge personally, or a cheeky punt on Jovetic for a few GWs.

      A) Agüero -> Sturridge and play Oscar(mci) or Noone (NOR)

      B) Agüero & Oscar -> RVP & Lallana (-4)and bench Noone

      Swaying towards B atm, Robin looks a good bet for the armband next week!

          Would you also play No one over Hazard?

      I will not be surprised if RVP does not start against Stoke and Rooney does going by what Moyes said earlier.

        I think -4 for those two is a good idea. I'd prefer kompany from next week though. Vs and a DGW.
        It could be worth the wait.

      Manchester United peeps: Surely Moyesy has to play Rooney in the #10 slot with RVP up front, Mata on the right and Janu on the left? Wicked formation that.... Though Young did look good v Cardiff.
