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:

    Who would you get in this week?

    Gerrard or Mata

    My gut says Gerrard but Mata has the gw29 fixture. 2ft, I won't ask again!

      I have Mata but would prefer Gerrard... I had Gerrard but transferred him out for Mata in frustration after he played so deep at West Brom...

      I have more pressing issues this week otherwise I'd have done Mata to Gerrard...

        Gerrard 2-2 Mata.

        This has been my thinking, Mata's new team form is leaving him, and Gerrard will be more focused and rested on the League. It's only the blank that's holding me back..

          Adebayor slight doubt this week so its risky but go with your gut.

    There is a rather differential striker really standing out right now, He has 2 really nice fixtures in GWs 28 and 29

    The problem is he's not guaranteed to play in GW29 and has a horrible fixture in GW30, and so can't be justified spending a transfer on.

          I don't think I could justify him over the likes of Sturridge, Adebayor or even JRod though as a 3rd striker, wouldn't be comfortable relying on Hull scoring goals
