Our Friday afternoon delve into the data arrives once again as the clock ticks down on tomorrow’s deadline. So far this week Luis Suarez leads the way in one of the most comprehensive Captain Polls yet – over 74% of the votes cast have gone the Uruguayan’s way ahead of Liverpool’s games against Cardiff and Sunderland. We analyse the leading contenders in this week’s Poll and assess whether there are any viable alternatives worth considering:
After all the forward planning I did for this Double Gameweek, I am expecting big thanks. Setting myself up for failure?

Open Controlsyea with 3 dgw to come, a big yes
saints upcoming fix nt looking good, getting rid of shaw myselfOpen ControlsDon't view it that way. Always plan a few gameweeks ahead so if Hart fits into your plans then its worth the points. In a DGW it's always better value anyway so I wouldn't worry about it

Very little between Sturridge & Suarez IMO, and based on minutes played they are practically equal bar assists for Suarez. Comes down to where u are and where u want to go, could be a massive points swing if you pick the right one.
Open ControlsSuarez has just come off a dry spell by his standards, and looks to be hitting form again. Sturridge has gone the other way, I wouldn't be surprised to see Sturridge have a relatively low scoring gw.
Suarez captain definitely for me.Open Controls
I am going to ask another stoopid question, sorry:

@ Doos, I have been trying to get a West ham related opinion for a while. Try to be objective, should I play Collins or bring someone in for -4 who has a DGW too? Looks like Sam regrets benching him but will that mean 180 min?
Open ControlsWe got a letter, so I am not sure.
To be honest, if he keeps making so many mistakes, none of us are going to get any points anyway.
I am playing Adrián ...
I think that he may play one.Open ControlsDear Michael,
We made some changes for the match against Stoke City, with Mo Diame and Antonio Nocerino coming into midfield and Andy Carroll called back in up front.
The hardest decision of them all, though, was bringing in Winston Reid for James Collins, who had done magnificently during our recent run of excellent results.
Based on the second-half play, I thought if anyone was going to score at 1-1, it would be us but then we switched off defensively and paid a high price. Our defending let us down, I think that if our defending hadn’t let us down as badly as it did we would have got a point.
It was great to see Andy Carroll play 80 minutes and score his first of the season. He causes the opposition all sorts of problems and is one of the best headers of the ball you’ll find, which he showed on Saturday. Not only did he head the ball in the net, but some of the biggest defenders in the game in the Stoke side just couldn’t cope.
Our next game against Manchester United on Saturday will be very tough and we must get some points out of that and settle ourselves down again.
At this stage you can’t tell whether you’re going to need as little as 36 points to stay up but I certainly think 38 points should be fine. It’s now about getting to 38 as quick as we can to get ourselves safe.
Come on you Irons!Open ControlsThanks for the thoughts, Still clueless, for free id get rid but for a hit I am not sure. You guys looked pretty good before the int game when Collins got hurt a bit. But Reid is great, blaach, sucky decision ahead.

Pick one...Terry, Haz ,Ki or Snoddy...
Open ControlsWelcome aboard Demichelis, that 8 DGWer's, bring it on!

Would appreciate some input on this WC team.
Adrián
Dummet - Zabaleta - Baines
Yaya - A.Johnson - Silva - Ki or Hazard (havent decided)
Suárez - Sturridge - Lukaku
Subs: Mannone - Hazard or Ki - Chester - Ward
0.2 in the bank.
Thoughts on where to improve? I have one eye on future DGW as well.Open ControlsPlease list these champs in order of DGW game time. Most minutes first.
A. Chester
B. Williamson
C. Bardsley
D. FlannypantsOpen ControlsBards, Williamson, Flanny, Chester
*Personal OpinionOpen ControlsThey have quite a few CB's. Bruce might get a game as well.
Chester has also returned from two injuries this season, so Bruce (Manager) might not want to play him in two games in quick succession.
All conjecture really. Hence the personal opinion part 😀Open Controls
A, C, B.
D - I have no idea. 😀Open ControlsAs Liverpool supporter, I'd be surprised if Flanagan doesn't get 180.
The rest seem pretty nailed on too, but I'm no expert.Open Controls
Would you player Dyer or Hazard for DGW? ...just feel Hazard may blank...
