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:

        Good. Thanks, Giggs Boson! So, now:

        Mannone*
        Baines, Alonso*, Curtis Davies*
        Mata*, Yaya Touré*, Ramsey, Gerrard
        Agüero*(c), Wickham*(vc), Podolski

        Subs: Adrián; Eriksen, Coleman, Ward ... - 8

        Slightly more potential upside, slightly less risk too. Excellent. 🙂

            Clean sheets are fragile. There are no guaranteed CSs in this game. And the United strikers are both doubts to be fair.

        I have 3 City and I am scared not owning YYT. Nasri stats shows that he isn't shooting more like a assist threat. Scary moment for me last 3 games to be without YYT

        Thoughts on this 4 pt hit:

        Baines and Nasri out
        Vidic and YYT in

            I am scared. He isn't explosive enough. YYT got 31 pts the double before. How many goals are scored from headers? His chances created are from corners and headers. I believe in top 10K 80% will own YYT. It is scary risk. Not necessary IMO

        I have Suarez - Rooney - Lukaku up front - also both Demi and rio in defence.

            Could come off! I'd laugh to myself if i managed to claw back 70 points. If mata got 56 captain points and their captain aguero got 15, or something. And then evra and demichelis got a goal...
