shadowcomplex

So who are ye going to make captain this week , the favourites have to be Aguero and Dempsey. Ill definitely be putting it on one of them anyway, havent decided yet though,probably dempsey

PopTarts

Sessegnon away to Newcastle

Sticking with Cisse. Might change to Silva.

DazzlerIE

Silva home to Bolton

Aguero all the way

I'd be worried he'd run riot if I didn't skipper him

If only i could go back there

grohlisagod

Bale home to ManUtd

Dempsey for me. Primarily because I don't have Aguero. He scores at least once every 4 games. He just gone 3 without a goal. Home to Wolves a side who can't defend at all. Only worry is Pogrebnyak stealing his points.

POKERKING

I always get confused with these threads, is it who am i making captain? or who would i make captain if i had a free choice? For eg i dont have aguero and dont plan on getting him this week but if i did have him he would by my captain, i will probably go with silva as no other obvious choices, who do i pick in the poll? Same last week i would of gone with lampard but didnt have him, went with RVP and picked RVP in the thread, but it could lead to results skewed!

It has to be Aguero this week for me. I have Dempsey as VC but he is now playing as a winger and I think his output is being affected by that.

I'm third in my money league. First will definately captain Aguero and second does not own him (or Dempsey). That's another two good reasons to captain him.

FatRat

McClean away to Newcastle

Once again Sess is my pick of the week although I may change it before the week is out.

manual_man

Silva home to Bolton

Can only really see myself picking Aguero. Could pick Suarez in an attempt to catch up, but it would probably backfire spectacularly :pac:

Bigtoe107

Bale home to ManUtd

I'm thinking Dempsey but only because I don't have Aguero

Cantona's Collars

Silva home to Bolton

Aguero for me,although Mancini might rest him so the vice captain choice could be very important.

This is how I feel every single week about Aguero. I was generally not that worried, because I figured Balotelli & Dzeko would be the ones to suffer, bit Aguero.... but now with Tevez playing in the reserves again, that might be about to change.

Aguero has done decently since I brought him in with the WC, but I think he has to go after the Bolton game.

Nuri Sahin

Looks like Kun once again for me but won't decide till later. Half considering Dempsey admittedly.

Choosing Suarez would be playing with fire, even if it were against Wolves let alone Arsenal. He should most weeks have an assist and/or a goal if a little bit more composed and unselfish. If Djourou(sp?) is playing though his chances for doing well will have increased big time though. Fingers crossed heh.

manual_man

Silva home to Bolton

I've got it on Suarez as of now :pac:

God help me

froog

Cisse home to Sunderland

Ba for me. Cisse could be out so he won't be stealing points from him.

if Ba doesn't deliver this weekend, i may change him for yakubu.

Rikand

Ballotelli home to Bolton

Everyone and their mother is going Aguero, so I'll go Silva again for an attempted differential

I just have a feeling there'll be goals in the game. Arsenal will go all out attack, leaving themselves exposed at the back. There's a touch of the Djimi Traores about Djourou though you're right, as a Liverpool fan i hope he plays coz this match is HUGE in their chances for a 4th place

Thinking Pogrebnyak as a major differential

smokingman

Silva home to Bolton

The smart money is on Aguero but in fairness, after his goal and a pretty good showing in the Italy match during the week, Dempsey does seem like a good contender home against an "on-their-knees" Wolves.

Tonight may become a night of yes-no-yes-no...etc...

itsnotmyfault

The obvious choice is aguero but i'm seriously considering van persie.

First off i'm hoping he'll start(and finish) as i might not be in a position to change my team when the teams are announced.

Agger missing is a big blow for liverpool with the main worry being that carragher will take his place. With a more confident walcott,oxtail(maybe) and RVP taking on that liverpool defense there is every chance of Arsenal getting a penalty or getting a pool player sent off.

It's obviously a huge risk as if aguero has a field day i'll be in trouble and i should probably follow the flock but RVP is tempting.

I'm a liverpool fan, by the way and think there could be plenty of goals in this one. What odds i chicken out of this madness:)

carlcon

Silva home to Bolton

I think it's one of those situations where if you're defending a lead you go with Aguero, and if you're desperate to gamble to try catch up, you go Ba or Dempsey.

I think the "desperately trying to catch up" method generally hurts people more than it helps, so Aguero really looks like a no-brainer. Forget about catching people this week, this is a week for making sure you don't fall further behind. Plenty of less-obvious choices ahead of us for you to make the difference.

Blatter

Yakubu home to Aston Villa

Really surprising that not one person has voted for van Persie. Liverpool missing Agger, with Carragher most likely deputising.

Also Van Persie only played a half on Wednesday and didn't have to travel far as the friendly was in London so he should be relatively fresh.

Saying that, there are probably better options.

Aguero is at huge risk to be rested imo. Traveled to Switzerland with Argentina midweek and has started City's last couple of games. Balotelli will almost certainly start as he wasn't even in the Italy squad so he should be fresh. Dzeko has been a substitute for City's last two games and has scored 3 times so Mancini may feel he deserves a start. They are playing one of the worst teams in the league at home to boot so it makes leaving Aguero out easier.

carlcon

Silva home to Bolton

I hope I'm not proven wrong tomorrow, but the whole "Aguero risk" seems to be one of the many PL myths perpetuated here on Boards.

I think there have only been 4 PL games this season when he didn't play at least 60-70 minutes, and one of them was the first game of the season when he scored 2 and assisted one, gaining 3 bonus points in 32 minutes. Only in one of the 4 was he completely rested, with the other 2 being 45mins, and 26mins.

I think he should be safe enough to play.

I agree about RVP though. I'd be tempted to pick him myself, but since my main opposition in the Boards league doesn't have Aguero, I'd rather push for double the extra points, while he's likely to captain RVP, Ba, or Dempsey, players I also have, so not giving him much of a bonus.

PopTarts

Sessegnon away to Newcastle

Ended up with Silva.

Cisse was showing as doubtful earlier in the week.

Rikand

Ballotelli home to Bolton

interesting on the BBC website. VP has never scored at Anfield.

5 minutes to kick off :: How do those picking Van persie feel now ?

nevermind, I found it meself

Selecting a Captain and a Vice-Captain

From your starting 11 you nominate a captain and a vice-captain. Your captain's score will be doubled.

If your captain plays 0 minutes in the Gameweek, the captain will be changed to the vice-captain.

If both captain and vice-captain play 0 minutes in a Gameweek, then no player's score will be doubled.

What a mess up that was!

Who are you thinking of getting in, I know your not suarez's biggest fan but he could be a good shout for the double game week.I think Ba has lost his thunder due to Cisse coming in, Odemwinge perhaps, Adebayour and Saha are options too

2 goals for Sigurdsson,get in there.

Mancini more or less said before the game "ah sure,it's only Bolton",that was his reason for resting Silva & Aguero.If they couldn't beat the worst team in the league without them,there would be something wrong.

Yeah I kept the captaincy on him as per my previous post. About the only thing that went right for me. There is a serious risk that i'll only be able to field 8:eek: players including enrique to come off the bench with 1
