We roll out the second instalment of our new weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the Gameweek ahead. With Liverpool, City and Arsenal squaring up to some resilient defences, we delve into the data in order to assess our armband possibilities.
just realised suarez is in the the early saturday kick off, might go for rooney instead
Open ControlsIt's always a bad omen. The early Saturday (C) has ruined my weekend on more than one occasion.
Could this be the one that works? I doubt it, but who knows!Open ControlsI think it's more of a mental thing than a reality. (ie not wanting for you captain to have played before all the other matches) But just captain who you think will score more.
Open ControlsMight go for Suarez over Rooney because of that.. can't watch any of the Sunday games :/
Open Controls
Tommy T, having written this article, who are you (c)aptaining mate?
Open ControlsHave a choice between 1, 3, 5 and most likely CU. Leaning towards 5
Open ControlsNicely done 😎 😉
Di Vinci code..Get cracking Ron 🙂Open Controls😎
Open Controls
Nice. How does 3's stats compare to those of the player that starts with the last letter of 2's name?
Open ControlsFavourably imo. The last letter of 2 home stats have been reliant on an above than average SAcc and are still lower than 3 in key stats.
Open Controls
I would stay well clear of 3 and 5 ITWT. Don't fancy Burner of Jedinak to do much this weekend.
Open Controls😆
Open Controls
Expect Walcott to start he was only out due to a stomach problem plus arsenal need to bounce back after last weeks defeat n he offers much needed width that they lacked 🙂
Open ControlsMy armband has been on Rooney for 2 weeks now, no plans to change it.
Then for next GW
Oscar and Barkley to Theo and RavMo 😎Open ControlsThis^ re: Captain.
I tend to make a bad decision when I over think my Captain options, panic and change things last minute trying to be clever.Open Controls
RVP has averaged 10 points for the last 4 GW's & his form is only B in the watchlist 😯
Open ControlsStill managed not to make a single transfer for GW12 yet and as long as no injuries pop up I might not bother at all...
Open ControlsWhat do people tend to give + 1 for
A helpful advice
B interesting stats
C funny comments
D posts asking about +1
Z dyslexiaOpen ControlsNothing. I'm banned from giving +1s 🙁
Open ControlsSomething tells me you're not being entirely truthful 😀

E - interesting posts.

On a wildcard looking goalkeeper options
A) mignolet,harper play mignolet every week
Or
B) vorm,foster play vorm till foster bck then rotateOpen ControlsDepends for who
Open ControlsI will soon but might have to hold another week.
Open ControlsI did but I'm not convinced it was the right thing to do. Look at what happened with JWP - he was getting 90 minutes, then got withdrawn - everyone got rid and he's getting 90 again. Everton play 5 mids and he's got to be breathing right down the neck of Osman and Mirallas, at least.
Open ControlsIf he's your 5th midfielder i probably would't but if he is your 4th i would consider moving him
Open ControlsI have Brady, RavMo and him, will probably sell for sessegnon
Open ControlsBarkely probably has the highest downside atm. Tough fixtures and not nailed on. I'm holding this week as I feel that if Martinez starts him on Saturday it'll be a good indication of his standing within the team (i.e that he's first choice)
if not I'll be selling for RavMoOpen Controls
The Blues in work seem to think he'll start on Sat cos Osman has been garbage.
Open ControlsCant make my mind up, Evertons goals have dried up while he is not on the pitch.
Is there a chance he could start this week?Open Controls
Suarez playing late tonight then kicks off early Sat = HAT TRICK!
Open ControlsI don't see Everton conceding 3 but I'll take it if he does.
Open Controls
Hmm, the article makes interesting reading
2nd thoughts for sure, but not sure who else to go with if not RooneyOpen ControlsThis week is tough one, I think Rooney is the safest bet
Open Controls
For this GW:
McGregor (Boruc)
Davies Terry Clyne (toure wilson)
Oscar Brady Coutinho Ramsey (morrison)
Suarez Lukaku Aguero
1 FT. 1.8 in the bank.
Assuming Brady and McGregor are fit, I'm thinking of doing the classic Lukaku-Remy. Good move? I know my sub defenders need work but they can wait I thinkOpen Controlscricinfo ashes team

Who to bench from Ramsey, Coutinho, Januzaj or Brady...!
Head says Brady or Januzaj, gut says Courtinho!Open ControlsFor the slow times on here I am going to invent a game called
Guess who the scout is?
Like the old guess who game with the little flippy faced people with glasses hats bald etc.
Example being
Someone says guess who
Other person says are they Irish
1st person says yes
Other person says are they a sex mad bear
1st person says yes
Etc.....

1) Is the last F1 race this weekend?
2) Is anyone playing the Etana Fantasy F1 game?Open Controlsyes.
no.Open Controlswell then you are fairly useful to me as far as what I want goes. I'm trying to get a top 500 finish (currently just outside) so I'm looking for the driver who might surprise a few this weekend as my differential that might propel me inside
Open Controls
Could someone please advise me on how advanced Kasami plays for Fulham?
Open ControlsWhen will they stop adding levels to candy crush?
It's like they know I won't stop until I winOpen ControlsThinking ah its ok will have the January wildcard soon and then realizing that's not until gw20, gonna have to be VERY strategic with my transfers until then.
Open Controlsi'll try to use it as late as possible too, so more like GW24 is it?
Open Controlsyeah, if possible I like to use it the last possible week, catches everyone out, especially as my ML leader is a serial copier, if I wc before him and he's still ahead he'll just wc to my exact team.
Open Controls
Strategic? You have a minimum of 9 free transfers between now and then next WC. Forget strategy and just react to form and fixtures
Open Controls
Play Courtinho or Brady this weekend? Already have Suarez playing!
Open ControlsBrady. All set pieces, at home, poorer opposition.
Open ControlsHi Demi!
Which defender would you get:
Mertesacker, McAuley or Evans? Could you please provide a justification. It's been really hard for me to pick one. I am torn between McAuley and Evans. I am ditching Baines for one of them.
My team: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/624174/event-history/11/Open Controls
Brady on set-pieces and pens, and at home to Palace
Play BradyOpen Controls
Well. Just as Beric above, I have Barkley. The problem is, I have 3 cheapies (Amalfitano, Barley and JWP) and no money in the bank. I can wait a week and get away with saving the transfer, provided Chester starts. What to do then? I am certainly not taking a hit.
Open ControlsThots on brunt 5.0 was he injured or just out of favour?
