    Looks like straight forward choice between Aguero and Costa, I guess Aguero is the form player and the only city player scoring. Although I'm tempted to captain costa because I know the guy winning my work league will captain Aguero, Decisions Decisions?

    I'm thinking Aguero and I think the concentration will be largely between him and Costa but surely there are more than 6 relevant choices?

    Captain choices are really hurting me this season. I'll give Aguero the armband and maybe leave it with him.

    I think Aguero is nearing default captain status.

    In 11 GWs, he has only failed to score in three.

    Aguero barring injury will be my captain for the next few Gameweeks.

    Hard to pass Aguero. Have a serious urge to go with Hazard though.

    Man City at home and Swansea without Fernandez makes Agüero an easy choice. Helps that I don't have Costa :pac:. Hazard(vc)

    There's a serious urge to captain Hazard for this one but Aguero at home at the moment is hard to look past.

    Costa, Pelle and Sanchez are all worthy options too but I'll make do with simply having them.

    If we're having like minded urges we better avoid interacting for the rest of the week. It can only end badly. :) ....cough. ...jovetic...cough....

    Hon the eejits is what I say :)

    It'll take a lot of persuasion to move it off Aguero but will get the VC at least

    I was involved in that then costa was supposedly injured had made an early transfer to get in jovetic. I then ended up playing my wildcard getting rid of costa dropped 750k places over the next 2 weeks.

    I shouldn't have logged in!

    I'm tempted by the Eden but could you Adam n Eve it if that little snake Kun grabbed a hattrick!

    Don't know what got me all biblical with my puns there.... Probably utter boredom. Roll on next week.

    It's Aguero for me, on his form it should be an "Always Captain" case, his crazy low ownership is the only thing holding that back.

    I'll be having a good look at the stats and the ffs captain article. I recall reading that Swansea have conceded a lot less chances than most teams, although it may be a home stat.

    It might be the other way around if it's that stats I posted earlier in the week:

    - Swansea have allowed their opponents 162 shots this season - almost double Arsenal's record - and yet have conceded fewer goals (11) than every team barring Southampton.

    He has low ownership overall but in the top 10k nearly everyone has him now.

    That's the one I was mis-remembering all right. Decision made so.

    I seem to recall that there was a positive stat, but afaik it was to do with home games. Only 3 conceded up until a few weeks ago iirc

    Just checked, they had kept 2 CS's in 4 at home before Arsenal.
    4 goals conceded in 5 home games now.
    They conceded 4 against Chelsea away and have been letting a fair few in on the road.

    Aguero. Tempted by Sanchez as well though, I can see him running rings around Uniteds defence.

    I think that is symptomatic of how much an influence we all have on each other.

    Interesting difference of opinion on the "predictors" FFS has Aguero marginally ahead of Costa whereas new boys Fantasy Football Fix have it firmly favouring Costa oat 7.5 with Aguero on 6.2. I plan on going Aguero over Costa myself.
