Captain Sensible – Gameweek 30

14 March 2014 750 comments

Paul

Prior to limping out of City’s Champions League defeat in Barcelona on Wednesday evening, Sergio Aguero was the runaway leader in this week’s Captain Poll. The Argentine has since been ruled out of tomorrow afternoon’s trip to Hull, scuppering many a Fantasy manager’s plan for this week and potentially beyond. Our Friday members regular returns once again as we look to the main contenders in this week’s Captain Poll for inspiration:

This week, we take a different approach to the Captain Sensible article and use the Stats Tables in the Members section as our guide. By using the top five players in this week’s Captain Poll (Aguero, Romelu Lukaku, Luis Suarez, Eden Hazard and Adam Lallana) as a starting point, we’ve created a table based around a number of their key statistics in order to flag up any other players offering a similar sort of threat.

Anyone doubling on Everton defence, have Baines thinking of getting Distin?

Mirallas is my other Everton.

Interesting how a lot of people captained Alaba over Robben against Arsenal(UCL), but are hesitating to captain Baines against Cardiff. But I suppose there's is the option to switch captains in FUCL.

Two Questions for you

As part of GW30/31 who is the best Man City MF to have apart from Toure and Silva

&

Who would have out of these lot for a striker position (again for initially GW30/31)

RVP
Dzeko
Rooney

My other strikers are Suarez and Sturridge

Any ideas would be welcomed

  Nasri on question 1. I might lean to Rooney on Question 2. We know RvP's pedigree but he looked like he couldn't be bothered last week and really should have been sent off for a couple of fouls.

Afternoon all!

Looking for some possible WC advise please.

Was going to preserve until after DGW. Got Aguero in this week for a hit pre-injury. Not sure I want to risk holding him if he could miss the DGW.

Thinking of hitting it tonight for:

Adrian - Boruc

Collins - Cahill - Distin - Ward - Chester

Yaya - Nasri - Hazard - Sterling - OX

Studge - Suarez - Aguero

0ITB - Bang on the money

Should I hold the WC? Any changes to the above WC?

Chasing by the way...my team is linked in profile.

Really would appreciate some of your opinions!

Thanks everyone!

What to do with this lot? 2 fts 0.8 in bank. Considering to switch Mata for Yaya this gw and then probably Chambers to Bardsley. What do you think? Or should I go for an Everton defender instead of one of nye Chelskis?

Azpi Ivano Chambers Vlaar Evra

Cahill / Azpilicueta / Ward / Demel / Smalling
