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:

        Sorry for reposting but I forgot to add that I'm leading my ML and rival has Yaya.

        Pick one.

        A) Aguero + Mutch + Demi (captain Kun)
        B) Dzeko + Yaya + Coleman (captain Yaya)

          IMO B looks better:

          Yaya cover to save your ML lead
          Dzeko can poach some points easily
          Coleman will be handy in GW38

    Planning on Shaw >> Demichelis, Demi would then replace either Eriksen or Pieters in my starting line up.

    Don't have Yaya, Demi would be my third city player. Is it worth not doing that move and somehow trying to shoehorn yaya in by downgrading elsewhere?

            Waz is always hungry to play, he'll only sit out if he has to.
            RVP will want to slowly be brought back in, he'll want game time.

            I think so, but to be fair, United's defence is top of this:

      Indeed. I think Dzeko has more upside than Wickham, which makes it easier to choose.

    Looking back at captaincy choices, I've only got it right six times. Aguero in weeks 10 and 12, and Suarez from 14 to 17. Going Aguero this week.

      I'm keeping. I feel in my water that he won't play tomorrow but hopefully he'll make up for it against Hull midweek. As for captain, I'm beginning to think Yaya might be the way to go now.
