Our third Members article of the week takes a look at the main Captaincy contenders on option. With Liverpool welcoming Swansea to Anfield, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge are big armband favourites for Sunday’s showdown, whilst City’s home clash with Stoke has Edin Dzeko on Fantasy radars. Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor are also in contention for the captaincy ahead of trips to Palace and Norwich, whilst we also offer up our weekly alternative “Captain Unsensible” option for those on the lookout for a punt:

    If you could...

    A: Use 2 FT and bring in Puncheon (or possibly Ince) and Ward for Amalfitano and Kolorov (has to be both) and bench them both.

    or

    B: Use 1 FT and bring in Jedinak as a straight swap for Amalfitano, give Kolorov one more week, bring in Ward next GW and have enough for Johnson and Aguero by GW 30.

    Which would you do?

    Has to be B, right?

        Appreciate that Jedinak is not a major FPL force but, given I'll be benching him for most of the rest of the season, I can't see the sense in paying more for a CRY MID. I'm short of a straight swap for Puncheon or better unfortunately.

    Really torn between Suarez & Sturridge for captaincy this week..

    Since Sturridge's return he's put in 9 9 11 9 6 15 in his last six. Hard to ignore.
    Suarez has fired 3 blanks in a row but hasn't been far away by any means, he's still playing brilliantly and rattling the woodwork in these matches.

      Definitely captain Suarez, but out of them, RVP.

    The question is, who is the most in form striker?

    The answer: Sturridge.

    The only two people that you should consider except for Sturridge are Suarez (as the best striker in the league) or Dzeko (with arguably the best fixture of the weekend.)

    Anyone other than these three and you're probably gonna have a bad time.

          It is the moment to consider ALL possibilities - not close them down! 🙂

      Glass legs is never far from a 1 pointer with another injury. I'm not going there.

      Adebayor might have something to say about that

        He's just saying who he's got, in a very biased manner.

          I don't have Dzeko, I'm not being biased at all, I genuinely think that Sturridge, Suarez, and Dzeko are the three best options for captaincy this week.

          Who's better? Adebayor up against a side that have conceded 1 in 4 home games (including both Manchester sides?) or RVP playing for a United side that look like they might struggle to beat Palace?
