Our weekly pre-deadline Members article focuses on the armband issue, with just 16 teams to consider. Liverpool’s “SAS” are eclipsed by Emmanuel Adebayor in this week’s Captain Poll so far as Spurs welcome Cardiff to the Lane, whilst Chelsea’s trip to Fulham and Swansea’s home clash against Palace bring Eden Hazard and Wilfried Bony onto our radars. As always, we roll out a “Captain Unsensible” option and delve into the data for a weekend underdog:

    Adebayor for me. Expecting massive disappointment, but Sturridge can't keep scoring forever (!), and Southampton look reasonable at the back versus the mess that is Cardiff.

    Looks like many people are taking hits to field 11 in GW29?

    Would it be crazy to take a hit for GW29 to bring in players who have a blank (Sturridge) in GW29 to prepare for DGW31?

    Pros: I am thinking I wont fall too behind in rankings as most people will be taking a hit anyways...

      Depends what your rank is? For eg the bulk of the top 10K own and will still captain Suarez. They have for weeks. Sturridge and Suarez is still a differential formation.

        According to last week's teams 70% had sturridge in the top 10k, but only 28% of all fantasy managers.

        Adebayor was owned by half the top 10k, but wasn't anywhere near the top 5 owned strikers by all manager.

        Suarez is still the main man. But one thing is clear - Ade, Sturridge and Suarez is the key frontline to have this week if you are in or aspire to be in the top 10k.. Having all three really off sets any captaincy blunders as no one in the top 10k will captain anyone outside of that trio.

    Guys, I'm trying to decide if its worth doing JRod > Ade with my second FT or just save...

    So what are your total points predictions for...

    JRod - LIV cpl NOR

    &

    Ade - CAR che ARS

    The thing is, I would probably captain Ade this week v Cardiff so I guess you have to factor that into the decision, but I reckon JRod (who has been firing loads of shots) could make back the points in the next two fixtures after this week, where Ade has some pretty tough games...

    I also reckon the FT rolled over could prove quite vital with the FA Cup games potentially changing things up again...

    What do you reckon, worth it?

    Thanks
