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:

      A hit for a defender rarely works out, unless you don't have three to play. Which you do, barely

    I just tried to write a mega post on Kun replacements on the last page. Could someone help me out on unanswerd questions of mine please?

    Could someone clarify what teams are missing upcoming GWs and if any DGWs are confirmed? Bit confused as to what is going on in that regards.Thank you.

    Also:

    1) Will Aguero fall today? Is quite far off on TotalFPL but due to timezones I will be asleep when price changes occur.
    2) Will Fabio change to Cardiff before the deadline? Want to bring in RVP/Rooney for Aguero but already have Mata, Januzaj and Fabio.
    3) What is the best way for me to bring in RVP into my team? Team is:

    Adrian Marshall
    Coleman Terry Ward Fabio Bardsley
    Hazard Lallana Januzaj Johnson Mata
    Adebayor Aguero Suarez

    0.3 in bank and 1FT. Could do Ade > JRod and Ag > RVP. The following week do Lallana/Johnson to Eriksen? Or should I sell Terry...? Will leave me with 5.4 for a defender which could buy me someone of decent quality but its hard letting go of Terry.

    4) Why was I so stupid and did not captain Suarez and bench Adrian last GW??

      Dzeko is cheap enough to ignore for a week, and then make your transfer next week.

      That is what I am doing.
