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.

            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.
