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:

    This was my favorite Arsenal game when I was a kid, Arsenal vs Parma CWC final 1994.

      I was 18 years old….

      Quote that Wakey will like from http://footballspeak.com/post/2013/04/15/The-Finest-Exhibition-of-Football.aspx

      Tom Finney, one of the greatest players to have played in England, declared “I think that was one of the finest exhibitions of football I’ve seen the whole time I’ve played and watched the game. I mean it was tremendous; well deserved…..the skills and the speed the game was played at was absolutely tremendous. I came away thinking I’ve been really entertained, and I’m sure that the spectators here saw an exhibition tonight that will never be bettered, I don’t think. You couldn’t see it bettered anywhere, not even in Brazil. The moves they put together were fantastic”.

    Is it suicide going into GW29 with only 6 players available?

    I honestly don't think I could name a player that could guarantee a return of the 4 point hit required to bring them in. Going for clean sheets perhaps but even they're tough to call.

    Just thinking it'd be more hassle getting back rid of them to accommodate for GW31. Think I'm gonna bite the bullet and just go with Cahill, Ivanovic, Ward, Hazard Lallana and RVP.

        Precisely my thinking. Everyone's going to score small next week, so I'd rather put my eggs in the GW31 basket in an attempt to go bigger than my rivals.

          Whatever you lose in GW29, you'll make back in DGW31, so do what you can... I don't think you should worry about the options in GW29, people spending points to get 10-11 players are shortsighted if they are taking out DGWers...

        Any hits to bring someone in would virtually be an 8 point hit as I already have a draft team I want for GW31 and I'd have to get back rid of them to get that team.

          It sounds like you've got it all planned out, just remember that your planned team for GW31 could end up changing due to unforeseen injuries etc and there are plenty of doubles coming up after to think about

    Hey everyone.

    Quick question, am I right for buying Figueroa over Martin Olsson?

    Olsson has a very good fixture in GW29, but Figueroa doesn't even have a fixture at all that week.

    Although, I already have 7 players who will most likely play in GW29, which is more than my ML rivals, and my aim is to have more players than them in that week, and I feel like once you're at about 7 or 8 players in that week, it's a bit silly spending transfers on players that you're gonna wanna get rid of in a few weeks.

    So, with Hull having a possible DGW in GW31, and Norwich not having any DGW's at all, am I right for buying Figueroa over Olsson?

      I think that is the way. More to be had through dgws than next week. A few points dropped next week can easily be gained through the doubles. I think I will be making very similar transfers.

      Europa - You definitely have a chance for the top. 1 good captaincy week could bring you bang into contention. Just about staying with the leaders at the moment. I do have some ideas too (will probably be staying clear of the Juve vs Fiorientina game)
