Our Gameweek regular for members is rolled out once again ahead of tomorrow’s deadline. Liverpool’s trip to West Brom sees Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge place highly in the Captain Poll, whilst United’s visit to Stoke also supplies our analysis with a couple of popular contenders. Arsenal’s home game against Palace also comes into the reckoning, whilst we also unmask this week’s “Captain Unsensible” and cite the statistics to back up our bold punt:
Silva and Adebayor.

Thoughts on Sturridge captain instead of Suarez???
Open ControlsIf you have Suarez, no Arsenal attackers, but a City player in MF, would you rather have:
1) Studge
2) Giroud
3) Negredo or Dzeko
for the next few wks?Open ControlsThis is what I'm struggling with. I have Suarez and Bony and need to get rid of Aguero. I have mids of Haz,, YaYa, Mata, Eriksen, and Noone.
I could sit tight this week and play 3-5-2 since Noone has a good fixture. Or I could go Aguero to either Sturridge or Giroud. I'm leaning towards Giroud, but he doesn't seem to get a lot of love.Open ControlsGiroud isn't bad at all...he just isn't explosive and has a lot of pts. competition on his team...also, cruddy fixtures upcoming. Studge has been an absolute monster all season and he's the one I'm leaning toward (I don't see Pool's attack slowing down any time soon and those 2 tend to hog the goals/assists).
Open ControlsGood point. I don't have any Arsenal attackers, but I think I'm okay with that. I may go Sturridge this week and bench Noone (or bench Bony). Then, next week go Dzeko for Bony and maybe even Lallana for Noone, still leaving me with 0.3 in the bank.
That would give me a front 8 of Haz, YaYa, Mata, Eriksen, Lallana, Sturridge, Suarez, Dzeko and just one -4 hit to do it.
Not bad, right?Open ControlsPretty damned good front eight (I prefer a studly front seven instead w a 5th mid who is cheap, but serviceable - Don't like leaving high salaried players on the bench, ever)...but try not to plot out too far ahead...each week brings new injuries and issues as we've seen in the last 3 weeks.
I too can live without Arsenal attackers for now...Open ControlsI hear you on the 4 + 1 in the mid, which is why I have Noone. My defenders aren't great, but serviceable so maybe I could invest there. My thinking on getting the solid 5 in the midfield is in case of rotation risk for the teams playing CL, Europa, FA Cup, etc. So, if YaYa, Haz, or Eriksen don't play the occasional EPL match, I'd still have a really solid replacement. Makes for a selection headache each week, though. Here's my defense in case you'd want to comment:
GK: Mannone / McGregor (suspended)
DEF: Kol, Azpi, Gab, Vlaar, BruceOpen ControlsYeah, your D isn't awful, nor great...Lolarov seems a good place to start upgrading (Get a nice steady 6 dollar D who you can count on each wk.)
Open ControlsGood point. I had Terry and ditched him at the WC last week. Maybe go Azpi to Cahill or pick up a Southampton defender in place of Vlaar. Thanks for discussing. Not sure I've helped you, though.
Open ControlsOh, and, I agree on Kolarav. I fear rotation with him and I'm also looking ahead to GW28 when City won't play. Probably too far ahead to look, but hate to go into that game with 3 City (YaYa, Dzeko, Kol) and one ManU (Mata), leaving me no wiggle room.
Open ControlsNo prob!
--- I wouldnt ditch Azpi yet esp for a hit -- he's playing, which is what u need right now.Open Controls
Aguero and kolarov to rvp and chambers worth -4?
Open ControlsCan someone tell me what Moyes said about RVP earlier?
Open ControlsHaha. I got a good laugh out of that. Have a +1.
Open Controls
Is a 12 point hit mental?
Open ControlsAll depends who for. Let's see it!
Open ControlsRamsey to Yaya
Aguero to Giroud
(already done Chester to Flanagan and Silva to Mata before the injuries to the latter 2. Yes, yes, my own fault...)Open ControlsI would hold off on Giroud transfer and see who Arsenal sign before deadline.
Open ControlsConsider Studge instead of Giroud too, yes.
Open Controls
If the guys you have coming off your bench aren't good, then yes, I wholeheartedly support your transfers.
Open ControlsThanks. Have Sturridge already.
Open Controls
I am taking the same... WC at the wrong time and everyone had to get injured after WC week... 🙁
Open Controls
People seem to think RVP is nailed on but I think he will not play 90 mins every week as I think Moyes will ease him and Rooney back in to the team.
Open ControlsI don't think Moyes is in a great position to start treating these 2 with kid gloves...they need to be out there, starting each match.
Open ControlsYeah, could do as he really needs them to be 100% for CL, it's pretty much all they have left realistically, Slowly, slowly and all that
Open Controls
If you could have any midfielder for this week who would it be?
Same question with striker 😀Open ControlsMirallas
Open Controls
Already have Suarez and Giroud... Highly tempted to bring in Sturridge for Aguero, but thinking of spreading the risk and getting in Adebayor... Who do you guys suggest?
Open ControlsSturridge, after this week Giroud has some tough fixtures
Open ControlsSorry. Misread this.
Open ControlsDzeko
Open Controls
Hey Guys,
Does anyone think it would be a mistake to take a 4 point hit to remove Aguero for Dzeko?
I have Coleman and Aguero injured and they will be replace by Januzaj and Mutch.
Anyone think it is worth it?Open ControlsOn WC - plan to keep SAS, Yaya+Eriksen+Hazard+Lallana in midfield and coleman+sagna in defense.
For swapping aguero, what do you thik best options of
A) RvP + (noone, colback or gnabry) + 3 x cheapo defenders
B) (JRod or Dzeko) + (Mata or Cazorla) + 2 x defenders @£4m + (Evans/Azpi/Kolarov/kosc/dawson)
C) (benteke or ade)+ (Mata or Cazorla) + 3 x cheapo defenders + ditch mannone for harper
C) Aguero -> rooney + (upgrade luke shaw or £ itb)
I figure city, chelsea and manu should get a few clean sheets from next GW on - not going for any defensive points in current GWOpen ControlsWhen do the scout team come out?
Open ControlsHave Suarez, Bony and Aguero
Whom should I bring in for Aguero? Thinking of taking a hit and transferring out Bony too. Thoughts?Open ControlsKOMPANY,TERRY OR COLEBACK(sunderland)any 2 plz help
Open ControlsTerry, Kompany
Open Controls
Cazorla or Lallana long term?
