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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Howard (Marshall)
    Chambers. Coleman. Cahill (Ward. Olsson)
    Yaya. Haz. Nolan. Lallana. (Ki)
    Suarez. Aguero. Sturridge

    0 ITB. 1 FT

    1. Team is good to go.
    2. What's the latest on Aguero. Was hoping to keep 2 FTs for next week but in case Aguero is going to play this week should I do Aguero - Lukaku?

    Appreciate the help

    For the DGW (and beyond), assuming Aguero is out:

    A) Rooney, Williamson/Bardsley, Sterling
    B) Lukaku, Coleman, A.Johnson
    C) Lukaku, Baines, Sterling

    Probably going to punt for C. Would appreciate any comments!

        City have two dgw's though and getting Kun (if fit) for those could be massive.

        and my team is pretty well set up as is. the only differences between my gw 31 team with one hit and my wc team would be evra + cahill > zaba/kolarov + baines. and I'd probably swap out my 5th mid. is that worth it...?

    As some of you might have noticed (or i guess in this case, haven't noticed) Innsie hasn't been on here all week because his internet is down. So while he is off the grid I will be filling in for Innsie's Weekly DZ draft for GW 30 and GW 31. I just realized that Innsie hasn't incorporated last week's score as well so I will get started on that and try to have the updated table within the hour.

    WC team:

    Mannone/ Adrian
    Coleman, Azpi, Flanagen, Chester, Ward
    Hazzy, YoYo, Siss, AJ, Noone
    Sturdige, Suarez, Lukaku

    So, the initial plan was to have Aguero, as he is out, Lukaku make me save 4.6 M and I don't know how should I improve the team.

    What about Siss to Nasri? Nolan? someone else?

    Anelka no longer a West Brom player. What a great player he turned out to be for them πŸ™„

      Worst signing of the season, what a waste of money.

        And to think they ousted Shane Long essentially to make room for him. Long isn't a great striker or anything but he's got a ferocious work rate and always seemed very loyal to the club.

          It's not like they've scored a lot in his absence, whilst Long is forming a very nice partnership with Jelly

            He is, couldn't understand letting him go because he's the exact type of player you want supplying your better finisher.

    4.3k transfers in today for Kolarov, that's 4.3k either completely bonkers and at the least very brave souls. Godspeed. πŸ˜†
