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:

    Any information on Adebayor? Tempted to bring in Jelavic but wanted to do at Bennett -> Skrtel for -4 instead...

        There's this but BAPs are why I'm aiming for a CB, plus goal threat

      Great team mate.

      Gerrard to Haz next week seems a good shout alright. Silva has 2 more doubles to come and with the uncertainty of Agueros fitness he could be a great little differential.

    Coleman, Distin, Williamson (Bardsley, Ward)
    Silva, Gerrard, AJ, Sissoko (Hazard)
    Sturridge, Suarez, Jelavic

    Money is pretty tight even with all those budget picks I have only 0.1m in the bank.

        Yeh need to try make up the points some how and both will hopefully prove good value! Fingers crossed Sissoko steps up with Remy out and chips in with some points! Jela can always score goals and at that price it let me upgrade to Distin and AJ which are much better than I had before!

      I'm actually tempted because number 2 in my minileague is 15 points back and doesn't have Suarez, and I don't reckon he'll sell Rooney to get him. But I think that would be playing too defensively, it's time to go for the jugular!

    Wow. Maniatis actually broke RVP 😐

    Time to ship in Rooney in a couple weeks then. When RVP was out he was essential.

          I'm just hoping that Mata gets a start in the hole

    Looks like Mata > Silva/Yaya is off then.

    Anyone do that early move??

    Had a rough couple of weeks recently. Need to get back in good standing.

    Please RMT, any comments welcome!

    Mignolet (Mannone)

    Demel Koscielny Coleman (R Bennett, Yoshida)
    Yaya Mata Hazard Livermore (Ward-Prowse)
    Bony Suarez(C) Sturridge

    Only player not in the DGW is Hazard.

    I am comtemplating taking out Yoshida to bring in another defender. Perhaps Dummett but not sure yet. Sucks they stopped play Yoshida, he was killing it for only 4.0!

      The number one rule of a DGW is to captain a defender. OH THE VALOUR

      I still have Mata, but I don't think I am willing to risk the captaincy on him.

      But I think he will have a few breakout games before the end of the season.

      If I didn't already have Lukaku, I'd have drafted in Welbeck.
