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:

    Lukaku to Rooney post GW34 looks like a good move. A double in 37 to look forward to as well.

            Roon's fixtures GW35 onwards are really good. With Aguero there's always a fear of another injury.

          This is the situation I'm in.

          I reckon Sturridge could score more (the new formation has been played in two tough away games, so might revert back to 4-3-3), but I'd be gutted if Suarez scores more and I didn't captain him.

          Just cancel out Suarez and get anything Sturridge offers - which will still be decent without a (C).

      Sturridge could easily outscore him. He's done so in GW 22, 24, 25, 26 and 27, with both scoring 11 points in GW23. It's only the last two weeks they've reversed roles and Suarez has been King so I would probably do it in your position.
