You're not the only one to point that out.

Is Hamer an infamous bad keeper?

I don't see the logic either. Leicester's defence has been sh1te with Schmeichel in the team so don't see how they can get any worse.

He's not as good as Schmeichel. It was close between Costa and Dzeko, but this has swung it for me.

Has anyone got goalscoring odds for the popular picks for this weekend? I'd be very interested in seeing how Hazard and Sanchez compare.

Costa looked very good against Schalke but didnt score!
He is due toget back into form and I am hoping him to get two goals this weekend

Really tempted to make Yaya my captain. First time having his this season so hoping he'll be playing like last years Yaya.

Hazard for me. I am so sure . No doubt whatsoever.
But those Dzeco odds are short.....and Costa is due a few......

Hehe I often think like this too but I think it might be a leak. I'd much rather give the arm band to someone who is in form, over someone who is due to hit form. Giving it to Dzeko this week feels a bit like captaining Lukaku.

Be it Costa or Hazard, I can't see past 2-3 Chelsea goals, last season they shut up shop in this fixture at 2-0. A similar scoreline wouldn't surprise me in the least with a busy schedule approaching.

Leicester at home have conceded 2 goals to Everton, 3 to Liverpool and 3 to United. 3-4 city goals could easily be on the cards. Though Dzeko is unlikely to play the full 90 minutes. Costa played mid-week too (wtf Mourinho!).

Hazard rattled the wood work against Newcastle and scored from open play in the previous game. Clearly Hazard is the the most in form player of the three, in addition he's most likely to play the full 90 minutes of all three options.

Hazard is the clear choice, for now it's on him but I'm seriously considering Yaya or Dzeko as a viable option. I think there will be goals in the city game and morale is going to be high after their exploits in Rome.

spock. · 12-12-2014 8:05pm

Would I be crazy to captain Ivanovic? Chelsea clean shhet seems almost gauranteed and he's due a few attacking points. Have it on hazard for now

Yes you would. Don't quote me tomorrow after he gets a goal, assist and clean sheet and then hurl abuse :pac:

You know who else is due attacking points? Hazard.

*hurries off to lump big on Ivanovic scoring*

I personally would never captain a defender since attacking returns are rare and cleanies are never guaranteed.

Good points, although while I agree City morale will be high, there may be a little hangover effect. Very quick turnaround between these 2 games (Roma and now Leicester - both away). Also when you consider, with Aguero absent, the 3 players they'll most be looking to - Dzeko/Silva/Jovetic are all fairly rusty to say the least. For this reason I'd avoid captaining a City player this week

+1 As soon as Hull scores you know you are out.

If you captain a midfielder / forward, they can score anytime.

You can't expect a defender to score after they are 1 goal down.

Very true, though this could be exactly the kind of fixture they need to to sharpen up and if they do fall short, I still think Yaya has potential, he always seems to step up when they need a goal. Tough decision and it's still on Hazard, maybe I need another beer to make my mind up. :pac:

TacT · 13-12-2014 1:57am

the fact Hazard earns more baps has swung it in his favour for me over Costa.

I had it on hazard, but Oscar could be the fly in the ointment for me there, yaya is on pennos, his game is approaching something like last season and has got 10 pts in 3 of his last 4 game weeks. Yaya for me.

yeah it'll be interesting to see how City actually line up alright, there'll be a lot of sore bodies after Wenesdays exploits. Yaya will be fresh at least. don't think i could bring myself to captain Yaya myself (i don't have him, but if i did), but this gameweek he's definitely the standout option for City i think. of course as a non-owner a penalty miss and yellow card so he misses the next game wuldn't go amiss

i don't have hazard so it was easy enough for me to pick Costa, Sanchez and baines were decent shouts too but it was a very straight forward decision this one. Might not be the right one come 5 o clock but have to go with the odds.

Going with costa aswell, mentions too Sanchez bony! (Theyll both prob get double figures now ha)

Necronomicon · 13-12-2014 11:48am

Conflicted between Costa and Hazard. Not since September 27th has Hazard scored less than 10 points at home (five home games ago).

IsMiseMyself · 13-12-2014 11:55am

Given Hazard's home record, I've given him captaincy. Had a dream last night that Costa scored two and Hazard blanked so I feel my subconscious is trying to tell me something. However, my subconscious has been entirely wrong the last few weeks so I'm ignoring it.

Late switch from Costa to hazard for me!

Been switching between Hazard, Sanchez and Dzeko and have it on Dzeko now.

Think Dzeko is a very risky pick, he lacks form and match fitness.

Yeah your right, having him is enough of a gamble.
Ive ended up with Sanchez, I don't think Chelsea will have it as easy today as people think and Newcastle are playing their third choice keeper and Sanchez likes to shoot.

Stupid beer did nothing for me. I've whittled it down to Hazard, Costa or Yaya.

Tick tock, tick tock. Indecision is great craic @ 11.28 on a Saturday morning.

Late change from Costa to Yaya - I hope this doesn't backfire now! There's about 6 points separating 3rd and 6th in my league, so would love to put a little ground between myself and the others. I guess time will tell if this was a brave choice, or a foolish one.

Good luck all.

Hazard for me. Costa is first on FFS poll but his recent form hasn't been as good as Hazard's one.

I've been pretty confident for about a month that Hazard will outscore Costa about 7 times out of 10 at home.

Whether today is one of those days remains to be seen, but longterm its unimportant. If you keep making those type of decisions, you will benefit longterm.

As long as you are right to begin with that is! I have gone Costa but kind of wish I had gone with Hazard now seems more fun!

I do think sanchez has slipped under the radar this week. I changed to hazard due to all the arsenal injuries and the fact the crowd could be restless if they don't score early. You could be in a nice position come 530 if the Chelsea lads have been quiet.

I went for Sanchez BECAUSE of all the injuries. His 3 stormers in a row all came when they had big players out. I much prefer having him when Arsenal have plenty of injuries. Less competition for scoring points.

If Hazard stays as is I'm confident that he'll outscore him.

Edit: not confident, hopeful

Both Welbeck and Giroud start today. Just saying.

Hazard saves the week.

Other than that it was a terrible experience for me. Doubling up on Southampton (Clyne and Forster) with Heaton on the bench hurts so much:mad:

I was due a correct captaincy choice :pac:, glad I didn't make any rash last minute decision. 10 man Hull and they still manage a conservative scoreline.

In fairness, everything you wrote in your quoted post made perfect sense. It's nice when the game rewards it

.

It's not nice when the game decides that Baines home to a striker-less QPR should only get 1 pt :rolleyes: :pac:...
