Our Friday afternoon delve into the data arrives once again as the clock ticks down on tomorrow’s deadline. So far this week Luis Suarez leads the way in one of the most comprehensive Captain Polls yet – over 74% of the votes cast have gone the Uruguayan’s way ahead of Liverpool’s games against Cardiff and Sunderland. We analyse the leading contenders in this week’s Poll and assess whether there are any viable alternatives worth considering:

    A: Rooney AJ/Ox
    B: Giroud Mata

    Leaning towards A with johnson as he has another double in gw34...but Rmt says option B by a long mile

        hmmmm any particular reasons behind it?

        Giroud:
        - Arsenal/Chel could be highscoring and then a good home game
        - he is the focal point of attack
        - no rotation risk

        Rooney:
        - two tough fixtures
        - on penalties
        - chances of being played in withdrawn role

        AJ:
        - high goal involvement for sland IF they score
        - tough fixtures
        - has another dgw in gw34 but thats also with tough games
        - very unpredictable and seems to have gone off the boil

        Mata:
        - should be nailed on
        - toughish fixtures
        - not on good form

        Ox:
        - Looks in real good form
        - Shd be nailed on

          Toughie. I'm not a big mata fan - definitely better ways to spend 9m+.

          Roon, Ox and Giroud all good to me.

          I'd prob go A

      Tough WC decisions coming thick and fast:

      A) Lukaku + Baines + (3.8m)
      or
      B) Rooney + Dummet + (Ward)

      Long term I think A) looks better but I'm so tempted by Rooney...

          I could still fit Rooney + Baines but I'd have to lose one of Yaya/Silva/Gerrard. I can't decide!!!
