With six teams set for a pair of fixtures apiece in the upcoming Gameweek, our Captain Sensible article takes a different angle this Friday afternoon. We focus mainly on those sides with two matches to play and hope to emulate our previous article on double Gameweek 34, where Jason Puncheon’s underlying stats were amongst the best around prior to his 23-point haul:

      Back of envelope…
      Vidic, 1 clean sheet, 1 game concede, 50% chance of booking in one game = 5.5pts
      Baines, Everton will concede, 20% chance of a penalty = 3.2pts
      So No.

    I'm 29 points behind my ML leader. We have almost the exact same team:

    Mata Yaya Ramsey Nasri

    Rooney Suarez Aguero

    I'm thinking of taking a 8 point hit to bring RVP in for Suarez. It will involve downgrading a defender.

    Is this mental?

    I posted this exact same comment 4 hours ago and I'm interested if opinions have altered since

        If I was leading there's no chance I would do it. I feel this is the week to make my move. Could do Wickham and captain for a 4 point hit. Or even Rooney - Wickham Suarez to RvP 8 point hit

    So I think I've decided I'm going to keep Rooney but still bring RVP in. I'll have decent first sub so no worries if Rooney doesn't play. This team worth it for (-8)?

      8 on a scale of frank lampard to Joey Barton

      Mostly because Suarez on the last game might go mental.

      It would be more reasonable if you weren't required to do the reverse transfer next week. As is, seems like it won't pay off.

    I am thinking of doing

    Rooney, Bacuna, Coleman > Wickham, Yaya, Evra

    8 point hit, but the guy chasing me at top of mini league has taken 12 point hit

    What do you think?

    Thoughts on this hit:

    Baines and Nasri out
    Vidic and YYT in

      Nasri out doesn't sound appealing. And a hit for a defender?

      I think you can do better.
