Prior to limping out of City’s Champions League defeat in Barcelona on Wednesday evening, Sergio Aguero was the runaway leader in this week’s Captain Poll. The Argentine has since been ruled out of tomorrow afternoon’s trip to Hull, scuppering many a Fantasy manager’s plan for this week and potentially beyond. Our Friday members regular returns once again as we look to the main contenders in this week’s Captain Poll for inspiration:

This week, we take a different approach to the Captain Sensible article and use the Stats Tables in the Members section as our guide. By using the top five players in this week’s Captain Poll (Aguero, Romelu Lukaku, Luis Suarez, Eden Hazard and Adam Lallana) as a starting point, we’ve created a table based around a number of their key statistics in order to flag up any other players offering a similar sort of threat.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Interesting indeed. Don't think he's the best DM available for the job but if he can step it up he may finally show a bit of worth. Will be sorely tested against Liverpool, if he can gut their efforts he'd be a hero.

            I have to give credit to whole community around here.
            This team is good because of a good january wildcard which i made from the ideas of people over here and some RMTs.It has been an upward graph from that point on

    -Will be doing this next week anyway
    -Ade might not start
    -Lukaku playing weaker defence
    -Will lose £0.2m if I dont

    B: Save FT. Keep Ade

    -Ade may start
    -Could be high scoring derby

      You have a decent team for this week. Keep your WC for next one.

      Mannone for Foster. Mannone and Adrian rotate great and Mannone has 3 games in hand. Next week I might look at a hit to get Crouch out for Carroll or Jelavic.

      A. You never know with Nolan. He gets as many YC as goals.
