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:

    RVP out for the season then. It will be interesting to see what happens with Mata now.

    Now lets get down to business.

    On the face of it, this sounds like a dumb question, but bear with.....

    Do I start Hazard or Azpil?

    I already have Cahill in my starting 11.

    Of course, Hazard is the better player. But I really fancy a Chelsea clean sheet. Is it too risky to double up on Chelsea defence?

          It is a bit of a punt, given City's relative lack of goalscoring form/lack of Aguero. I need a punt though and given the prevalence of DGWs for them I thought I would roll the dice..

    Edin Dzeko...I started off with him, sold him and swore never again but how could I resist him at 6.6m now that he's hit a bit of goalscoring form (did I actually say Dzeko and Form in the same sentence??).

    Hells Bells, the guy's an absolute bomb-scare but he's playing centre forward for the free scoring league favourites and possibly has three DGWs up his cuff.

    The perfect accompaniment to the SAS imo.

      Good timing on that post! I have the same experience for Lukaku and figure City, as a team, have more to play for & create more chances than Everton.

    On a WC and edging towards Dzeko over Lukaku. I'll swap either for Aguero when back so it's basically for the dgw plus a week or so.

    Yay or nay?

    Will Mata's position change with RVP gone? or will welbeck be just subbed in?

      I imagine it'll be the Welbeck option.

      His position may or may not change but his share of set-pieces is likely to increase which makes him a 'hold' in my book.

      Nah. Sturridge is big enough a differential as he is.
