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:

        Im lucky to have a WC - so he looks like a decent 2 week punt.

        I'd go Januzaj if you could guarantee his game time..

          That makes sense, but I'd still avoid both Walters and Januzaj. For 2 weeks you could consider Snodgrass, Holtby or Lallana if you don't have him.

            Lallana is in - Snod is a doubt but again a decent option and I'd be interested if he is fit. Holtby - not sure on Fulham yet too much turmoil. Thanks for the shout tho...

          That was my thought. It is only a two point hit and a goal or assist will clear that deficit plus you aren't impacting on a DGW player. Me even doing a second free transfer would mean impacting on a DGW player.

      I would be totally against making ANY of those changes, in all honesty. Focus more on GW31, IMO.

        Well i have 2FT and a team consisting of 0-2-4-1 assuming Janu and snoddy even play so I think I have to do something?

    Hello, quick question.

    Should I change Cazorla to Mata? ]

    The only pro I see is he plays this week.

    Thanks 🙂

    My gut is telling me to captain Rooney over RVP. Probably madness, right?

    6 players including Burner. Should I use my transfers and spend some points?

    I could sell:

    Kosc Turner Coleman
    Yoyo Pozuelo
    Ade S&S

      Beside Kosc I can't see who other I can sell. Probably for Evra but that leaves me with 4.7 for Pozuelo replacement, the son of a bitch fell in price last night

        Kosc to Chambers.

        Then you can get Nolan or AJ for the double.

      None; although AB posted a clip above (didn't watch it though); I assume it shows training but no sign of Noone
