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.Open ControlsGood moves, but maybe Sterling instead of Adam
Open Controls
should I play:
Ward (swa)
or
Noone (tot)
?Open ControlsNoone.
Open Controls
Kick whom ?
YAYA OR MATAOpen ControlsThe Suarez sturridge debate is interesting.
I would go Suarez just but feel he's ending up much wider and doing a lot of the striker work that sturridge feeds off anyone else see it like this?Open ControlsThat is what he's doing, no debate.
Open Controls
Scout picks expected anytime soon?
Open ControlsSo Silva to Eriksen madness yeah?
Open ControlsI might do it -- Oscar is also tempting. Can't bring myself to get in Ince, Puncheon, Snodgrass or Adam since I don't want them for more than 2 weeks.
Open ControlsI've gone Puncheon just for the next 2 + the double when it gets rescheduled. Looking at the other names, just not tempted at all - not sure what all the Snoddy fuss is all about
Open Controls
last time i took the armband of a liverpool player, i was severely punished.............. come on ade dont let me down please xx
Open ControlsIf suarez isnt in the scout picks this week then he will definitely score
Open ControlsThink I may end up with S. Davis rather than Ince/Punch and bank the cash for the DGW. Sensible option or do you reckon either of the Palace boys will do very well in GWs28 + 29?
Open Controlsif i get ince it will only be for 29 and the double probably.........after that may swap back to a trad 5th cheapie which i think is what youre after now, if you sont want multiple swaps
Open Controlsit's a tough one because the Palace boys have a DGW. Davis is an interesting one. But I've posted so much on him recently there isn't much left for me to say
Open ControlsNo love for Dejagah? Shame to miss out on his run of goals.
Open ControlsHave I mentioned that he's got them moves?
Open Controls
How many dgw players are you planning on having?
I'm currently looking at having 9 with 2 games.
The other 2 would be defenders.
Any defenders worth planning a hit for for the double?Open ControlsI dont see Baines mentioned on here as an outstanding attacking and defensive pick given Everton's great fixtures. Is Coleman better vfm?
Open ControlsStart two:
Chester, Demel, WardOpen ControlsChester and Ward.
Open Controls
Will Bruce continue to be a starter with Chester's recovery from injury??
Open ControlsWhat's the verdict on Snod vs Lallana vs Ince? Not been on all week.
Open ControlsLallana
Open Controls
you're called troller, and yet Evans isn't the first name you mention? You're doing it wrong
Open Controls
Azpi at Fulham or
Kos at Stoke?
Already have Cahill... so...Open ControlsDemel 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
my head hurtsOpen ControlsCahill sound mate. Big reason for Chelsea's upturn in clean sheets. Leads the league in % of appearances resulting in CS at 55%
Open Controlsyup, 12 CS for Chelsea, 11 with Cahill, only 1 in 7 without him.
I have Adrian and Mannone though, worth keeping Demel for DGW and playing Mannone?Open ControlsNa, much prefer the Hammers double than the black cats
Open Controlsnot 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.
team is linked here
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/395/event-history/27/Open ControlsThat is a head feck. Think your on the right patch with Cahill weighing everything up
Open ControlsHe'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
Open Controls
Is the ticker completely up to date or are there many games yet to be rescheduled?
Open ControlsInce.
Open Controlshttp://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/feb/24/crystal-palace-jason-puncheon-neil-warnock Until you know the outcome it would be a risk maybe going for Puncheon
Open Controls
Team for GW28 sorted I think
Boruc (Harper)
Olsson, Shaw, Ivanovic, Cahill (Gabbidon)
Nolan, Lallana, Hazard (Noone) (Mata)
Suárez, Sturridge, AdebayorOpen ControlsLooks good. Not tempted to go with Noone over Shaw just in case Liverpool run riot?
Open Controls
Right then team currently
McGregor (Boruc)
Azpil, Koscielny, Flanagan, Ward
Adam, Hazard, Snodgrass, Lallana
Suarez, Sturridge
Noone, Collins, RVP
Currently have 9 players for GW29. Will do Flanagan & Koscielny -> Ivanovic & Evra next week -4.
Pondering whether to take the 4 point hit this week instead and double up on Chelsea. Will be wild carding soon after Gw29 anywayOpen ControlsI have a no help for wildcarding bar stewards policy 😛
Open Controls
Felding 7 in gw29 and 10 dgw players in gw31 for a -8. Sounds alright?
Open Controls7 is a bit short IMO - should be looking at 9 if you can
Open Controls
Charlie Adam...I cannot believe I'm seriously thinking about bringing you in!
Open ControlsTempted to captain Abebayor.
Open ControlsKind of tongued tied with the article and all 😉

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?Open ControlsI'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.Open Controls
Tough choice - need to play one of these MIDs
Snodgrass avl
Mirallas WHU
Eriksen CAR
Gotta be Eriksen, right? Assumes I play Hazard and Lallana, which seems a no-brainer.
ThanksOpen ControlsEr ... Play 2
