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:

      Best defender for £4.2m or under apart from Ward? Surely Fabio is the best bet?

        Yoshida for the short term. Martin Olsson for the longer.

        Hi all, couple of questions, bit long but won't take long to answer.. 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??

        So I've narrowed it down to Benteke or Giroud as my Aggy replacement (max available spend is 9.3m).

        - RMT tool has Giroud miles out in front

        - Player stats over the last 4 weeks has Benteke miles out in front

        Which gets your vote?

        Mark, Granville & Mods ..Inside of fpl (missing the middle word) have launched a new website according to their weekly email and it's pretty decent. It's still nothing on this place for tools or community but new features such as price fluctuations for your team are a good idea. Worth a look for inspiration..

        I'm on my wildcard, and I'm thinking of getting Johnson for a 2 week punt? Is it worth it? It means I'll have to do Johnson --> Eriksen in two weeks, I just really like Johnson's upcoming two fixtures. Plus, I don't wanna double up on Spurs attack in the next two weeks either. So, should I get Johnson for a two week punt, or isn't it worth it?

          B also gives you more cash elsewhere if you go with Dzeko

        How this for the upcoming week

        Howard (K.Davis)
        Mertesacker / Fonte / Terry
        Johnson / Hazard / Silva / Mata
        Giroud / Adebayor / Suarez

        Potential transfers that I havent confirmed yet are

        Januzaj > Silva
        Aguero > Adebayor

        Since Aguero is out and need a City attacking but hard to trust the strikers so opting for Mid

        Purely based on stats. Best replacement for Aguero are:

        1. Dzeko
        2. Rvp
        3. Sturridge

        - With Dzeko theres always bit rotation worries now when Jovetic is fit but ManC scores for fun. Great fixtures.

        - Rvp just building up his match fitness and could start from the bench next game. Nice fixtures coming until blank and is proven fpl point machine but ManU is currently shite team. Serious captain canditate in gw 25.

        - Sturridge nailed to start. Great form. Gets great service from Suarez and Coutinho. But would you captain him or Suarez in gw 25?

        Thoughts?

            Might be. But not too sure what to do with 3.2 M left itb after that. Really happy with rest of my team. But with Sturridge no need to worry about coming blank.

            Rvp would be no brainer but ManU havent played well under Moyes.

              I could get Dzeko and Rvp but that would require hit.

          I'm going with Dzeko. Suarez should be enough for Pool, and the extra money goes a long way

          one should be a keeper (always safe) plus three outfield benched for the blank and bring two in between the blank and the DGW...Bingo ! 100pts.

          They mean work it so that you can bench them for the blank and then grab a few more and go big for the DGW
