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:
-
This is a tough one
Defence is
Coleman Ward Terry (doubt) Burner (doubt) Chester (blank)
Do I...
A. Stick and play Terry
B. Terry > Baines (-4)
C. Burner > Stones (-4)

With Silva & Yaya already in my team, what do you think will be more profitable this week:
A) Kompany, Lallana
B) Aguero, EriksenOpen Controls -

Anyone captaining Yaya put your hands up?
I'm scared to do it, but Lukaku only other good optionOpen Controls-
don't fancy Yaya this dgw...have him but not expecting much

somebody stop him
Open Controls -
Kompany (goal threat) or Zaba (assist threat)...?
Open Controls-
Kompany
Open Controls -
Demichelis for more goal threat. Zaba hasnt had an assist in ages.

What is he doing it for????
Open Controls -
No one considering Bony from next week?
Open Controls-
Only if the better options get injured. Sturridge, Suarez, Aguero, Adebayor, Man U striker... maybe.
Open Controls-
got Suarez, getting Aguero, can't afford Sturridge, have Eriksen to cover Spurs. With no Rooney or RvP, Mata will be enough United.
I need Sturridge to drop 0.2 if I'm gonna get him back for Lukaku, then I'll have to ship BainesOpen Controls

Aguero : Expected Game time (80mins & 80mins if even) Expected points (2-3 goals or 2 goals and 1 assist & at least 2 bonus points (1 per game) - Approx 12/13 points: Captaincy 24/26 points)
Pros: Goal machine, will be keen to catch up on goals his missed out during his injury spell, very effective against big teams i.e. Liverpool, Liverpool weak defence and Home game against dejected Sunderland team could see massive haul
Cons: Probability of playing against Liverpool is high but perhaps given sometime on the bench against Sunderland to give gametime to Dzeko/Negredo. Only back from injury Pellegrini will be reluctant to give big game time.
Baines: Expected Game time (90 mins & 90mins) Expected points (At least one clean sheet, At least one assist or one goal; 2 bonus points (1 per game) - Approx 13/14 points: Captaincy 26/28 points)
Pros: Definite game time, reliable, Sunderland and Crystal Palace, will mop up bonus points if clean sheets are maintained
Cons: Defender; could very well end up with a 4 points hall
Lukaku: Expected Game time (90mins & 90mins) Expected points (2/3 goals and or 2 goals and an assist & at least 2 bonus points (1 per game) - Approx 12/13 points: Captaincy 24/26 points) i.e. same as Aguero
Pros: Explosive, target man, Sunderland and Crystal palace games should see plenty of chances
Cons: Naismith starting to shine - could take Lukaku out of spotlight, Can often be very quiet and flop for 2/3 games
Disclaimer: This information is only my opinion and could very well be completely wrong - In writing this I think I've convinced myself into captaining Baines for the differential and reliability. Lukaku can too often be the disappearing man in games and Aguero is only back from injury.
In my opinion Baines is the best option followed by Aguero then Lukaku (and possibly coleman or maybe even Mirallas/Yaya Toure)
None the less 6 players you want in your team this gameweek are: Aguero, Yaya Toure, Baines, Mirallas, Lukaku and one other from Coleman Nasri, Silva.
Having Sunderland players this week seems like madness, Crystal palace players are a maybe if on budget.Open Controls-

You have a complete bias against Aguero
Open Controls-
You bought him and are trying to justify your purchase with wild predictions.
Open Controls-
Breadbin, you lad.
Open Controls -
I haven't bought anyone yet - you make huge statements you justify your decision not to get him. He will definitely play against Liverpool and however long it is he is effective enough to get at least one goal in that game; if he's deemed worthy to play against Liverpool which realistically he will be then he will get game time against Sunderland.
I'll be looking for you at the end of the DGW to see what you have to say about him then - even if he doesn't score/assist he will play for more than 90 mins.Open Controls

Agreed.. i just bought aguero and the most im expecting is a start (60 mins) in one game and a 30 minute cameo in the other.

My rival and I have almost have identical teams.
This week, he was talking about swapping hazard out for mirallas.
Is it worth copying him to stop him catching up, or saving the hit (he took a 4 point to get him in) and hope that azpi out scores him?
My only other differences between our teams are
Me
Zab, Dann & lallana
Him
Gerrard, mirallas & chambersOpen Controls -

I have sold Hazard for Eriksen on the assumption he is going to miss 2 -3 games. I still have Mata and Noone and want Aguero in for Sturridge. Have 1 more FT so looking at -4 hit this week.
My plan is to now keep Mata in anticipation for his juicy fixtures coming up and sell Noone for Puncheon, DGW and a stick-on 1st sub for the rest of the season. I also have Bruce on my bench and really not wanting to get caught short with non-playing subs.
Would leave me with
Boruc
Distin Kompany Ivan (flanagan bruce)
Eriksen Silva Snodgrass Puncheon (Mata)
Aguero Suarez Lukaku
PS I'd rather have Aguero than Yaya as my 3rd Man City player... just out of pure stubborness.Open Controls-
then Snod > Ramsey next GW.

D - Hazard & Sturridge -> Lallana & Aguero -8 (bench Shaw or Cahill)
E - Sturridge - Dzeko -4
Sry for reposting but i had only 2 answers : A; A ... but A give me "only" 6 DGW...Open Controls -
Why are we considering captaining Lukaku this week when every other week we class him as a "never captain, never bench" type of player? 🙂 🙂 🙂

"Only one loan agreement can be in place at any one time."
I just did 2 loans....Open Controls-
But you can't go back and loan another player after that... you have to make all your loans in one go...
I mistakenly got Dzeko last week... and didn't realise I couldn't get another this week... and I'm not cancelling it cos it cost me 9pts for 3 weeks...
So I'm stuck without any Everton players... 🙁Open Controls-
Surely worth the cancel and then bring in lots for 1 week?
