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:

    in a crazy twist is jovetic now the most nailed on city striker?

    "It will be difficult because he is a top player for us but we have the players to replace him. He has just come back from injury. Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko replaced him then and Stevan Jovetic can now."

    he's the best 'deep' striker of the 3

      The Jovetic factor is guiding me in the arms of Christian Benteke

      Would be a mean differential. Do you reckon he'll start? Would be no reason not to get him of he does...

        only issue is he's 2mil more than dzeko, and doesn't seem as glutty

      Wouldn't say that. Pellegrini playing both Dzeko and Negredo has worked out well in most matches this season. He does prefer one of Jovetic/Aguero with one of Dzeko/Negredo as his normal set up though, but wouldn't call Jovetic nailed. I expect him to be a more regular starter upfront when he gets fitter over the next week or so, but he could easily replace Navas too, with Silva switching sides.

      He is easily the most similar out of the 3, so maybe Pellegrini will prefer that?

      I'd be amazed if he started ahead of Speroni. Pulis likes a cosistent defensive line-up ahead of anything else, we have no (acceptable) back-up keeper as it stands which is what necessitated buying someone.

      Jovetic scored on his return from injury so Pellegrini would want to build his confidence by giving him more starts. The Beast isn't fully fit yet.

    On WC - what do you fancy of:

    A) Aguero -> RvP + (noone/gnabry) + 3 x defenders @£4m
    B) Aguero -> JRod + Mata + 2 x defenders @£4m + (Azpi/Kolarov/kosc/dawson)
    C) Aguero -> Benteke/Ade/Dzeko/rooney/giroud

    Keeping SAS, Yaya+Eriksen+Hazard+Lallana in midfield and coleman+sagna

      I consider krul, terry, sterling and negredo not good value compared to alternatives.Shouldn't have to go above £6m for buying defenders at this point.

    Dzeko is the best replacement for Aguero.

    - Cheap (£6.8m)
    - In a team scoring for fun (4 per game)
    - Great fixtures (until blank)

    Even if he is rested he will come on and score in last 20 mins.

      I just missed the boat on him. Was good to do Ade and Kun > RVP and Dzeko with 0 left in the bank and now I'm 0.1 short. Looks like I have to go Man Cityless.

    Hi all, couple of questions. Much appreciated if any help.

    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??
