Captain Sensible – Gameweek 24

31 January 2014 1546 comments

In Tommy We Trust

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:

Boruc
Kos Bruce Ivan
Cazorla(v) Hazard Mata AJ
Kun Suarez(c) Bony
(Davis Noone Azpi Gabbidon)

0.3 ITB

a) Play Noone, bench Kun and save the FT (probably use 2FT to bring in RVP next week)
b) Kun > Rooney
c) Kun > Studge

  Does this make sense or would my midfield become TOO strong? Already have Hazard - AJ - Yaya - Mata (although I might offload Mata... maybe)
  
  Would AJ -> Silva make more sense?
  
  Also, for a hit now or Benteke now and the midfield-transfer next week?

Aguero > Negredo?

Negredo GW7-15 vs. Negredo GW17-21

  Ship Aguero - he'll loose you loads and his position is a main line for points.
  
  Sturridge or Dzeko

Why all the fuss?

Everyone taking hits to make TWO moves. Why not make ONE move and downgrade Aguero to another striker - Studge, Benteke, Dze, Giroud, WHOEVER....

And then see how the games go this week... and use your new boatload of cash to upgrade on a sweet FT next week?

Taking hits now.... pointless.

If Fabio walks straight in to the Cardiff starting line up he has to be the most must have cheapie in the game now. At 4.1m and 0.5% ownership he is a true bargain differential.
In addition, his next 6 are as follows:
NOR-swa-AVL-HUL-tot-FUL.
Bargain. If he plays all 6 I can see close to 30 points.
