    Sanchez. Rumour is he is going to smite the doubters with the full extent of his powers.

    Can I just claim credit (both for myself and for 'regression to the mean') for being the first to go for Sanchez in the thread! :D

    Unfortunately the differential value is well gone. Up till Tuesday it was just 3 of us!

    Figured a few more would jump on the wagon dam them.

    I was the second. If only he had blanked midweek we'd have him all to ourselves!

    Ahh, I never vote in the polls, I assumed FHFC meant the discussion on the thread.:o
    I had also plumped for Sanchez in writing before his Tuesday evening.

    Yeh it was still just the two when I posted above during the game was expecting to already see a surge at that point! I guess a lot of people don't come to the thread until later in the week.

    Leaning towards Aguero.

    I just can't not captain Lukaku when he's in decent form and playing a god awful Bournemouth team.

    (Queue 1-0 Bournemouth win).

    Not sure how many votes if any were in poll when i posted in the thread. If he scores big I'll claim it. If not it was some other feckers fault.

    I'm on sky sports ff so I am going with Aguero Saturday because I think he is due a blowout and Sanchez on Sunday for the same reason.
    Was tempted by Vardy but I think he might have come to the end of his spectacular.

    Hope his injury is nothing to worry about, looking forward to listening to the howls of those that swapped him for Ozil. ;)

    This has definitely been the hardest week so far for me. So many variables. I don't really like my Aguero decision but I feel he may just explode after the CL. Defeat is fresh in the mind but they are awful with Kompany missing IMO. A real danger of them going a goal down early on and not recovering.

    I'm pretty sure Vardy will score, it seems to be written but I was very tempted to captain Mahrez on the basis that Utd will concentrate their defence on the man with the record to beat and miss the ever present threat from Mahrez.

    Can't believe how tense I am, football as never been so interesting since I started this FF craic. :)

    That's really overthinking it:P
    Is it your first season? Can you name the regular back 4s from the entire league yet?? You love it now and you think you are enjoying football but that enjoyment is a thing of the past:o
