Fantasy Football Tips: 9 Essential Transfers You Must Make In Gameweek 30

Who To Put As Captain: Daniel Sturridge

Team: Liverpool (vs Manchester United, away) Position: Forward Value: £10.4m Selected by: 31.3% Total score: 154 Well, if any of ya'll headed my advice for captaincy last week, how are you enjoying the rewards? My recommendations, Patrice Evra (Manchester United), and Eden Hazard (Chelsea) got 12 and 18 points respectively (after 2x). This week, Liverpool are playing. It's time to go back to choosing one of their strikers to be captain. For me this week, I'll opt with Sturridge. After a red hot streak which saw him nick 75 points in seven games since he recovered from his injury, the English striker only manage to get two points during the clash against Southampton in Gameweek 28. Meanwhile, his strike partner, Luis Suárez recovered from a dry patch of point to put in a 15 point performance against the Saints, only one less than what he managed in the four weeks prior to the clash. This kind of reminds me of what happened between Papiss Cissé and Demba Ba last season at Newcastle United, except in this case, it's a lot more unpredictable. With Suárez adopting a slightly deeper role since Sturridge's dramatic rise in form, I'm confident the Englishman will bounce back and hit an equally unpredictable Manchester United's defence with no mercy. Even though the previous two meetings between these two teams produced only two goals, both scored by Sturridge by the way, I'm still expecting a lot of goals in this affair, and am in no doubt that he will be able to convert when it matters. This bitter rivalry has traditionally been low-scoring matches. The last time either team won by a comfortable 3 goal margin was back in 14 March 2009. If you decide to factor in head to head records, I'll recommend Eden Hazard once again. Click "Next" to find out why.
