With just five Premier League fixtures to choose from this weekend, our armband selection looks more crucial than ever. We analyse the leaders in this week’s Captain Poll and also delve into the data to dig up any alternatives, including our usual tip for “Captain Unsensible” – having been rewarded by Nikica Jelavic and Loic Remy in the last couple of Gameweeks, we turn to Carrow Road for Norwich’s clash with travel-sick Stoke:

    The most important statistic for RVP has been oddly missed from the text about him. Gives a very biased view as a result.

      4 goals in 5 games is not bad when he's just returned from injury and United are in 2nd gear. Can only improve...

        1st table, final column. Undermines everything else Paul wrote.

        Its true that despite my comment RVP is worthwhile, but that doesnt justify the article.

              Where does he mention form? The Rooney/RVP section is pure number crunching.

              I guess people interpret things in different ways...

                  It's all about how you present the statistics, or interpret what you've been presented. They are not lies.

                  I don't think there's much bias in the way the above stats have been presented. It's clear that RVP is showing the most potential out of all of the above, and therefore is a strong captaincy option.

              Last year, if they'd moved the games to midweek there would have been Premier League games on the same night as Champions League games, that's probably why the rescheduled them for GW 36. This year the midweek after the FA Cup semis doesn't clash with the Champions League.

    Just as a general summary, if you're asking about GW31 line ups with options A,B,C,D etc...

    The one with Aguero always wins.
    (If none, then you lose by default)

      A common one seems to be

      Gerrard and Lukaku
      Or
      Sterling and Aguero

          I am doing this as well and going Sissoko over AJ so I can keep Baines for the run-in.

    I think this gameweek might be the right time to try my 'captain in a hat' experiment that involves names on pieces of papers and a hat, and a hand, and probably multiple attempts until I agree with blind luck.
