Captain Sensible – Gameweek 28

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:

    Current team:
    McGregor
    Ivan Baines Kos
    Silva Oscar Nolan Caz
    Studge Ade Lamber
    (Adrian Noone Bruce Mariapa)
    2FT £3.3m banked

    Plan to do Silva to Adam and Kos to Terry to field a strong 11 for this week and in prep for gw29.

    Good moves? Opinions appreciated either way.

    Demel to Cahill is so dullard, but at the same time, it gets me a decent option for the next 2, and i still have Adrian for West Ham double (I'm ignoring Sunderland's as I have Mannone as well). short of selling Yaya, which means wasting a transfer on someone I don't want, then another to get him back I don't see many other options

            not quite what I meant, is it better to keep Demel and use him for DGW with Adrian benched in favour of Mannone?

            I have 2 FTs and don't see many options as i don't want to spend 2 FTs on Yaya in and out, or sell a player with a fixture next week.

                He'll become Kompany for DGW, so if I kept Demel I'd have to sell Azpi to get Komps, so I would still have the same number for DGW or no Chelsea defence. This seems like the best route to me

    Asked this a few pages ago, and only got one response..

    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'd rather have Olsson just now. But GW31 Hull have decent fixtures. Figueroa could be a solid contributer then.

      Could be an astute move, but I think Olsson was the better short term route.
