With just five Premier League fixtures to choose from this weekend, our armband selection looks more crucial than ever. We analyse the leaders in this week’s Captain Poll and also delve into the data to dig up any alternatives, including our usual tip for “Captain Unsensible” – having been rewarded by Nikica Jelavic and Loic Remy in the last couple of Gameweeks, we turn to Carrow Road for Norwich’s clash with travel-sick Stoke:

    Sir Chesney -> David de Heyaaaa

    For or one of my two free transfers.

    Utd have a fixture this week, a double in 31 and their defence has been quite solid lately while Arsenal have a blank this week and a bunch of shocking fixtures.

    Yay or Nay?

      I'd pick somebody who is nailed on and Januzaj is not. Last thing you want to do on a gw with so few matches is use your FT for a player who ends up on the bench! My opinion anyway. Save it and use it on somebody who has a double in gw31.

Will have Suarez, Studge, Aguero, Yoyo, Baines, Coleman, Colback (he's been my cheap mid for ages) and Mata with doubles then. Could possibly take a hit and get a doubles defender (Kompany/Zab?) in for Ivan/Cahill then gw 31.

      The managers who can afford to do that because they have built up value in their team and can afford to lose money on transfers out probably don't apply to you (or me!) Same logic with Suarez to RVP though they will probably lose more value as they will have held Suarez longer. So the answer is definitely Nay!

      JayRod has been unlucky mostly. But from what i gathered, he looks more productive that Lallana and Lambert usually.

        Hmmm ok. Might go for the punt and put the armband on him... watching the Chelsea game with a mate who's a Chelsea fan too so it would be good to cheer Spurs on heartily (as a City fan)

          Actually, scrap that, I will cheer for a 0-0 draw as I have Ivan and Azpi. What was I thinking?

    My team for this GW is

    Boruc, (Davies)

    Ward, Ivan, (Sagna, Demel, Coleman)

    Haz (c), Snoddy, Puncheon, Lallana, (Caz)

    Ade, (Suarez, Sturridge)

    I have 1 FT and 0.6 ITB.

    The only move I can find is to take a punt on Caz -> Januzaj. I would rather ditch Cazorla than Sagna.

    This will free up funds for Aguero and, if I'm lucky, get me a player who plays 4 times in the next 3 GWs. Too risky? Any better moves?

      B, but A might be better long term
