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:

    Is it worth a hit to get DF this week?

    1: Play this DF

    Marshall / Mannone
    Sagna - Kosc - Ward (Coleman, Chester)

    2: -4pts hit .. Sell Chester or Coleman (bought 6.5m) for
    a) Evans
    b) Fonte
    c) Demel

      Should've probably sold Coleman weeks ago if you got at 6.5, but anyways hindsight notwithstanding maybe just play Ward and no hit

      True. Since there's no way Rooney will play on the flanks, Mata will definitely be deployed to a wider role, which is something he was doing at Chelsea this season. Let's see how will do with United this time round, though. Safest bet, anyway: van Persie.

      It's hard to see Cardiff keeping a clean-sheet, plus Mannone is on great form. Not to mention Newcastle will be without their main strikers due to injury. Still, I still always lean towards the home factor.

        I almost wanted to pretend that Norwich don't score goals away but it seems they still might. Think I'll have to go with the popular vote and pick Marshall still, although I'm guessing WALL-E's prediction of me getting it wrong will prove fairly accurate....

      I'd downgrade Kompany to, say, Azpi, and strengthen your bench, mate. Otherwise it looks good, just keep an eye on City's rotation, with Dzeko likely to share his minutes with Jovetic and Negredo.

      I don't know why people are thinking this either. Negredo was clearly rested against Spurs as the Chelsea game is more important. He will play most/all of the game with Dzeko starting and making way for Jovetic 60 minutes in based on how the game is going.

    Afternoon Gentlemen,

    Ok, so let's assume that Aguero doesn't make a return until 2nd march as suggested by physioroom; the earliest time he will be available in FPL terms is gameweek 29 and even that may change.

    If you're not looking for a replacement from Man City, then from a fixtures perspective - Aston Villa, Tottenham, Swansea, Southampton, Cardiff, West Ham and Hull all look to have pretty good fixtures during this period. In addition, Southampton and Cardiff benefit from a decent fixture this week, which could help ease the blow for anyone taking a hit to get him out.

    I've used the members area fantasy index to look at the potential of players from these teams/minute, and the following stand out for their respective clubs:

    1. Aston Villa - Benteke
    2. West Ham - cole
    3. Tottenham - Adebayor
    4. Swansea - Bony
    5. Southampton - Rodriguez
    6. Hull - Jelavic
    7. Cardiff - Bellamy

    It's worth mentioning that the fantasy index stats/minute for Dzeko and Nedgredo are only marginally better than Benteke, but they are also likely to suffer at the hands of rotation, play Chelsea this week and miss out in gameweek 29. However, they do have three home games in the next four.

    The question for me therefore is:

    Benteke OR Dzeko?

    Thomas

    Money no object, who is the best Aguero replacement to cover the next month?
    Assume we all have Suarez.

        I have Sturridge already.
        Dzeko is the scary punt isn't it.
        Considering RVP too, but game time is a worry.

        I like the look of Tekkers, not sure this weekend will suit him though.

            They will be determined not to leak goals and not having a striker might mean a stalemate. But I see your view too. Villa can go nuts away from home from time to time.

    Any theories why Negredo hasn't played since he played 90mins in the league cup against West Ham on the 21st and scored a brace?

      Shoulder injury.

      Made the bench last game but Jovetic who hasn't played in a long time came on instead of him, suggesting that Negredo wasn't fully fit to me.

        It suggested to me that Pelle is saving Negredo for Chelsea.

    So i'm thinking about playing Gnabry and benching Hazard. Gnabry's been playing well and has a decent fixture, whereas Hazard has a terrible fixture.

    Hazard has played top 6 teams 8 times this season and returned 1 goal. I forsee another blank, whereas Gnabry is looking like he'll get some attacking returns.

    Crazy?
