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:

    Marshall
    Kos - Coleman - Azpil - Ward
    Hazard (c) - Eriksen - Snodgrass
    Adebayor (vc) - Suarez - Sturridge

    Mannone - Noone - Mata - Burner

    Ship shape? Or change bench?

        I've avoided Suarez the last three - purely for differential purposes. Suarez becomes the differential this week, however, so becomes an option for me. But Soton away not a great fixture for goals, I fear. I think I'll sleep on Captain choice tonight.

                I've been mulling over this as a Noone owner too, but my impression is that Cardiff under Solskjaer are gung ho going forward and defensively terrible, hoping Noone gets points in a car crash basically.

                    I asked about his competition and it seems it's him against Bellamy and possibly Zaha if Zaha switches flanks. Think there's a slight risk of losing place if his performances drop but have to wait and see here.

                      I swapped him to Snodgrass as my 5th mid as I had 2 transfers, no more pressing matters and I think Snod will score more points than him over the next 3 weeks. Hardly a waste of a transfer if you ask me.

          Personally I don't think he should be 3rd in the watchlist but even still he's only there because he has a game in both GW's.

          Scout picks should be about maximising points and is he really one of the top 4/5 mids for the GW?

            Yeah I agree his position in the watchlist is influenced by simply having games. It's such a threadbare GW he might actually be. Not only are we missing a few fixtures but the remaining teams don't have many mids that appeal. It was actually a real struggle trying to find a fourth mid for the picks. Think it reflects in general how midfield options have been limited all season

        Yeah I'd prefer him over Baines but reckon that theoretical carrot of penalties and free kicks and his fantasy legend status might get him the nod...

          He seems to be off free kicks these days, which is a damn shame.

            Sounds like what you really need is someone to tell him they're selling him from their fantasy team again...

      'Tis a toughie. I've been playing it safe and sticking with Suarez in thinking that he would go off as soon as I switched it to Sturridge. The vice versa keeps happening, however. What to do then. Maybe flip a coin or somethin'?
