Captain Sensible – Gameweek 34

11 April 2014 1033 comments

Paul

With a pair of fixtures on the horizon for Man City, Everton, Palace and Sunderland, the double Gameweek sides dominate our thoughts for the armband. All but one (Luis Suarez) of the top 10 in this week’s Captain Poll plays twice – Romelu Lukaku leads the way, with a quartet of City players close behind:

Situation: I am 24 points or so behind in my ML.

Do I risk a Aguero (c)

or

Lukaku(c)?

  I'm in same situation -- Aguero doesn't seem to be nailed on for a start in both matches, which is why I'm going with Lukaku.

  Just owning Aguero might be a differential in itself. (C) Lukaku is the wise choice imo.

    My thoughts exactly. 24 points isn't much with 5 weeks left. You can afford to wait a couple of weeks before having to aggressively chase.

  I'm in the same position points-wise. I'm going for Lukaku, but my leader doesn't have many dgw players (2).

Look about right? Captain's a tough one and I'm actually considering playing Fonte ahead of Ward.

Mannone
Ward, Azpilicueta, Coleman
Yaya (c), Gerrard, AJ, Silva
Lukaku (v), Suarez, Aguero

Subs: Adrian, Ki, Fonte, Chester

Anyone else got Suarez, Aguero and Sturridge?

By the way, anyone selling Sturridge be warned, he plays like a man possessed against City and Chelsea, hell hath no fury like a D-Studge scorned.

    Talking about captaincy options (Captain Sensible article). Slightly irritated as I much prefer the previous layout of the Captain Sensible article with the 3-4 options and a Captain Unsensible.

Would like to get Kun in for Sturridge, but would need to lose Zab. Seems crazy when he's top of the watchlist and performing well, but don't think I can go into this week without a Man C striker...

    if I get Silva I can;t get one of Rooney (if he's fit) or Mata. Plus I;'d only have 0.1 leeway on prices if i wanted to keep Baines.

        disagree, Mata will be in the hole if only one is fit, it's when Moyes tries to accomodate both that Mata seems to struggle.
        
        Couldn't afford RvP with either Nasri or Silva tbh.

  Forget the Sunderland double considering they will most likely concede 2 to City alone so that's just 1 point extra. Everton game not great either.

With a DGW as terrible a sunderlands...would you bench your SUN defenders/keeper?

and one of: Bardsley/Cahill/Williamson

to choose from.
