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:

    Unnoticed last page. 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

    Worst type of transfer to make, this is. Where you have about 6-7 choices. It means you spend the GW monitoring 5-6 players hoping they blank rather just one or perhaps two. Yuk.

    I'm guessing some might wonder how Mata's arrival impacts on set-pieces at United. Obviously impossible to truly gauge given they've only played 63 minutes together, but all right sided corners and longer range free-kicks were taken by Mata not RvP v Cardiff. When Rooney came on, he took from the left (though after failing to beat the first man twice he handed them back to Young) and Mata still from the right.

    Whether this pattern continuing is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how you look at it.

    Mata taking those off him reduces RvP's assist potential. But, especially from corners, it could be argued that it boosts his goal potential as now he can be in the box, where you'd want him, as he actually decent in the air instead of taking the corner.

      Interesting, I do remember RvP getting quite a few jammy assists from corners though I also remember him scoring quite a few in the box off of Rooney's corners. It's probably a net positive for a finisher of his quality to be in the box.

      Are you taking him on your WC?

      Personally i have always thought that having RvP take corners was a bit of a waste. He is magnificent in the air and even better on the volley.

      Solution;

      Have both RVP and Mata in your squad!

        Just my opinion, but I think he is more nailed on than Dzeko and Negredo. He also has only 0.3% ownership so the rewards are high.

        The only thing stopping me is Sturridge is the more sensible and probably better pick.

    I may do Aguero to Studge and see how the City forward situation plays out v Chelsea. Can always get one of them in for Studge then later. That would leave me with Studge, Suarez, and Rooney (Mata, Haz, Silva, Lallana).

      RVP a good choice for Aguero? Had to do Lukaku > Dzeko, couldn't afford Sturidge.

      RVP/Suarez/Dzeko ?

      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.

        Someone was saying something similar about the way Moyes will handle Rooney & Rvp

          RVP was who I had in the back of my mind

      Aguero and Sturridge --> RVP and Adebayor

      Madness or genius? Have Suarez too, obviously, but don't think that Liverpool are going to keep racking up 3+ goals a game so continuing to double up seems risky. Plus have to do something about Aguero.

        I have something similar - RVP, Giroud, Suarez.

        I think RVP(c) at home to Fulham next week could be dynamite.

      Is Fonte (5.1m) worth it over Yoshida (4.0m)?
