Made a little more effort this week.

I think BAE home to Swansea should be added to the poll. Good chance that Spurs will keep a clean sheet.

Van Persie (away to QPR)

And I can't edit!

I stupidly skipped over the QPR/Arsenal game.

If a mod could add Walcott and RVP, that would be lovely and save me some shame.

Pogrebnyak (home to Norwich)

One last hurrah for Dempsey I think. The man is a demon at the Cottage. Norwich not too good at the back either.

Rooney and RVP away from home against sides who'll be hugely motivated. I already have 3 United players so I think that's enough invested in United doing the business.

Tempted to go Rooney over Bale, someone talk me out of it, it always backfires when I pick an away captain lol

Don't forget that Sigurdsson seems to be at his scoring best away from home. 4 of his 5 have come in two matches away from home.

There's a chance that Spurs might concede imo.

Van Persie (away to QPR)

Thanks Mr Moon!

Yes, Siggy away from home has no fear. He doesn't play any differently, it seems, and if anything, it could be argued he's been better away from home since he joined the PL.

But once again, United and Arsenal face fixtures you'd expect goals in. Has to be one of the big two again.

I'm wrong. 5 goals and 1 assist in the 5 matches away from home. Only 2 assists at home. Complete opposite of what it should be.

Don't think I could go for him though.

Might take a punt on Cisse. Would be a big gamble but Liverpool have been leaking goals recently. With Carragher in there they look likely to continue doing that.

I don't think any "talking out of it" needs to be done. Rooney is definitely the sensible choice, IMO. We all know what Bale can do, but it's a big risk to start gambling on him now with captaincy when both RVP and Rooney have games against very weak defences, while Bale faces the on-and-off most organised and brilliant to watch team in the league, who are full of clean sheets and upsets. Not to mention Bale's current luck/form not going our way in FF terms lately.

cup of tea

Adebayor (home to Swansea)

Have been very impressed with Bale having watched Spurs' last 2 games, he seems to be involved in everything, however this hasn't been reflected in FF points. My head says RVP but my heart is telling me to take a risk and back Bale

Thats cos he will be rested..........

DazzlerIE

Walcott (away to QPR)

Another weekend where the RVP (c) people will be waiting ages to see how the Rooney (c) people get on

Wish the two of them would play at the same time, or same day!

I'm torn between the two, dunno which to go for (Despite voting RVP in the poll)

massdebater

Van Persie (away to QPR)

Wenger trolling my team with those RVP comments last weekend. If both Rooney and RVP start, RVP gets my armband. Any chance we'll know by the 11:30 Sat morning if RVP will start? Might just leave it on Rooney to be safe and change it if I hear any more news. With no other comps for Arsenal, I really can't see RVP being rested though.

Dempsey's leaving my team next week too, I nearly want to give him the armband for old times sake. He's been so good to me

Young (away to Blackburn)

lumped for Dempsey. feck it. VP vc

kearneybobs

Jelavic (home to West Brom)

Frankie Lamps and RvP VC.

carlcon

Van Persie (away to QPR)

Overwhelming support for RVP again, I see. I think Rooney might be my man this week, simply because I think Blackburn are just about worse than QPR at the back. But (like every week it happens) I'm going through the "well he didn't score last week, he's bound to score this week" thoughts about RVP.

Jax Teller

Walcott (away to QPR)

Blackburn away is usually a tough game for united I don't expect too many goals so for that reason I'm going with Rvp.

Maverick91

Walcott (away to QPR)

I have the armband on RVP at the moment, though I am very tempted by Dempsey this week.

PWEI

Adebayor (home to Swansea)

Anybody think Bale worth a risk?

RB100

Van Persie (away to QPR)

Valencia anybody? Ahhh! so hard to choose. I've got it wrong 3 weeks in a row now. I think I will go with Rooney cus he seems to be getting a goal or assist every game at the moment

FatRat

Walcott (away to QPR)

Dempsey or RVP. Has to be. Rooney has served me well as captain the past few weeks but I really don't fancy him away to Blackburn. Dempsey is definitely due a goal, maybe another hat-trick. I'll probably go for Dempsey but for now, and for the past week, the armband is on RVP. QPR are looking horribly bad and Blackburn are picking up form.

Went with Bale,he seems to be playing a little better recently,hope a pure gamble will be rewarded..........still think RVP will be rested tomorrow and Rooney at Bburn does not fill me with confidence of goals for him

Arsenal are not in any other competitions so why would AW rest Van Persie? RVP will fill his boots and those of all us smarties who picked him. Can see him scoring at least a hat-trick and can see myself powering further up the FF tables. Every decision i have made recently seems to be correct and i am flying along in all my leagues so i have full confidence in my Robin.

I have had it on him since watching the Spurs-Bolton cup game during the week. Getting cold feet now though. I've been on the wrong end of the Rooney/RVP captaincy dilemma for each of the last 4 weeks though so Bale is probably best avoided based on that.

Nalz

Van Persie (away to QPR)

Nobody going with Rooney? (edit just saw the 18 in the poll)

I've the options of Rooney, Valencia, Bale, Richards or RVP. Still undecided.

prettyboy81

No Nasri in the poll but he is my captain pick, think city will spank a deflated Sunderland after their FA Cup exit!

iroced

What are these talks of RVP rested? Any source?

I'll be wary though,, the last time Wemger said that VP scored 23 pts :rolleyes:...

Walcott (away to QPR)

I hate having a big player in the last game of the weekend and not captaining him. If none of your other players score big and your rivals have him as captain It's always a nervous 90 minutes. So think I'm going Rooney. Hate over looking RVP when he hasn't scored in the past 2 games.

If im 50/50 on 2 players I always go on player who plays on later date or next day.

I actually thought I was only one who did this, but reading around here few seem to do it.

Mostly it's worked well for me so far.

Maverick91

Walcott (away to QPR)

Right, F*ck it. Dempsey captain. I just have a gut feeling he'll outscore RVP this week.

Rikand

Walcott (away to QPR)

really fancy dempsey or bale to do the business this week, but I'll be so mad if RVP goes ahead and scores a hat-trick and I dont have him captained

Yeah that approached has worked quite well for me. I think the only time I was burned by it was when Ba didn't score on a Monday night. I like the revenge factor for United against Blackburn. So they should be well up for it. Hopefully.

mailburner

changed from rvp to pog at the last minute

have a feeling fulham will bag a goal or two so itll be
either him or demps
got rid of demps a few weeks ago though

FatRat

Walcott (away to QPR)

I'm mental for changing RVP to Demps. Why did I do that? I'm top of my main league!!! :pac: Ah well..... we'll see how it fairs out but I fancy another RVP monster-game and it will ruin my day.

keano_afc

Van Persie (away to QPR)

Left it on Rooney. He looks like he's going to score in every game at the moment and RvP has been relatively quiet by his score when he wants standards recently.

carlcon

Van Persie (away to QPR)

Looks like a lot of you went for Dempsey this week. Fair play!

Now let's see something similar from Rooney on Monday so I don't have to hate you all.

Went for Pog over Dempsey today.....FAIL....going to see alot of red arrows tonight!
