Our third Members article of the week takes a look at the main Captaincy contenders on option. With Liverpool welcoming Swansea to Anfield, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge are big armband favourites for Sunday’s showdown, whilst City’s home clash with Stoke has Edin Dzeko on Fantasy radars. Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor are also in contention for the captaincy ahead of trips to Palace and Norwich, whilst we also offer up our weekly alternative “Captain Unsensible” option for those on the lookout for a punt:

      Can't see better than 2 for Adam, Eriksen has a chance of points even with a cameo.

        Bruce for sure

        Davies, Figueroa and Chester is the first choice back 3. If Hull go 4 at the back, Figueroa goes to left-back

      no point in ditching giroud if he's home to sunderland...Personally I'd always play money over fixtures with noone vs mirallas esp since mirallas is up front a lot atm. You need to think ahead with this transfer and get rid of someone who's missing a week to make sure you can put out a full team without wasting the wc or taking too much of a hit

    Snodgrass anyone? Or maybe Ince? need a sub 6m mid with guaranteed games and good chance of attacking returns. I would say if Norwich are gonna score chances are he will be involved.

    Reposting to get some more opinions - In a dilemma this week, have lots of players I need to shift for GW29 but I do have 2FT (zero in bank)...

    Boruc
    Koscielny / Sagna / Turner
    Silva / Mata / Lallana / Cazorla
    Adebayor / Suárez / Benteke

    Bench: Davis/Demel/Jedinak/Ward

    I'm thinking of Sagna -> Olsson, bench Olsson and play Demel.

    Seems Madness with Arsenal playing Sunderland at home, but this move is part of a series of transfers I've planned that will enable me to get 11 out GW29 with no hits.

    Can't see where else to make a transfer?

    Dumb or Genius?

      Get rid of Kosc and Sana next GW. Why don't you have Sturridge and Hazard? Turner is hopeless and Cardiff's defence is shite except for Marshall and Caulker. Shift Benteke now. Silva 3 pointer. Cazorla massive punt.

          Have Sturridge as well. Definitely difficult choosing captain. Suárez is the master of the huge points haul. But Danny's delivering.

    Cahill Kosc Evra
    Yaya Lallana Mata Hazard Zaha
    Suarez Sturridge

    3.9 Ward Chamakh Chester

    2FT 0.8ITB

    Even though he has a good fixture I'm thinking of doing Evra > Azpilicueta so I don't lose a transfer before all the blanks.

    A wise move??
