Tottenham and Man City both have a couple of players in the top five of this week’s Captain Poll ahead of home games against Fulham and West Brom. Luis Suarez is the standout candidate, however, as over 58% of you have backed the Liverpool forward to wreak havoc on Norwich’s defence once again as the league leaders make their way to Carrow Road:

We take the top five in this week’s Captain Poll (Suarez, Sergio Aguero, Christian Eriksen, Emmanuel Adebayor and David Silva) as our starting point and construct a members table based around a number of their key statistics in order to flag up any other players offering a similar sort of threat.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Might do it.
          My rival has already done that so I would be copying him. I do have a 90 point lead though...

          He didn't say that Silva wouldn't be fit for Monday, though. I'm reluctant to take a -4 to ship out a top player having top fixtures without more certainty about him being out.

      ok..so need a bit of advice

      stupid me, I brought in Silva for free before price changes before the Sunderland game..yes I KNOW, stupid me..

      should I ship Silva for Mata/Rambo for a -4 and be done with it or just bench Silva and play a 433 like this:

      ...............Speroni
      Baines - Coleman - Ward - Ivan
      ....Nasri - Gerrard - Eriksen
      ...Suarez - Lukaku - Aguero

      Davis; Silva; Chester; Noone

      I would obviously start Silva in case he happens to play in the scenario where I keep..thanks!

          negatory, if I was playing a 3-4-3 I would be benching Coleman over Ward..

          but yeah that's my feeling he'll either start or not play at all..I'm just worried about not getting off the train early if this ankle issue carries on beyond this weekend..

              It is a lot but look at what you're losing.

              Haz = 0
              Studge = 0

              So realistically it's only a -4.

        1.) Hope Silva starts, with Livermore as a sub
        2.) Take Silva straight back out for Mata/Gerrard/Eriksen (-4)
        3.) Do Livermore > Mutch (-4) and play Mutch

            That's what's tempting me. I think it's an awkward week for a lot of the star mids who are good next week - Ramsey and Mata in particular.

        A little point I think needs to be made. If Silva does recover in time for Monday, there's every possibility, that doesn't mean that he starts or that he plays more than a half. Don't get me wrong, he could do damage in that time but if City take the early lead and have the game wrapped up early on I can't see him being risked.

        Hard to go from certainly injured to perfectly fit in the space of 4 days.

          if he is carrying an injury i think pelle would be silly to risk makin it worse, but if its not bad then they certainly need him

            They certainly need him I agree I'm just not sure how much game time he'll get, it looks like his ankle may be worsening if he's still not recovered from the weekend.

          But wasn't it the case that he has been carrying this for a while and the issue was he couldn't play 3 games in a week so he will have had 8/9 days rest and with Yaya out Pelle needs him badly

            He has been carrying it for a while but this is the first time that after an entire week's worth of rest Pelle is still claiming he is injured. They need him badly but if the injury is worsening then they might lose him for the rest of the season if they push it. Same thing happened with Aguero.

        Brilliant Scoutcast this week! The new format's freshened things up even if I was disappointed Granny looked less like Chappers than I thought. The Cat helped the community vibes and Jonty back in his 'Rocket' support cast role is always welcome. Big up FFS!
