    Poll options inspired by FFS.

    Tough one to call this week I reckon. Haven't made my mind up yet though Suarez, Van Persie, Ba and Tevez (if he plays) look solid picks.

    I'm going for Cazorla in case Tevez doesnt start.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,881 ✭✭✭bohsman


    Aguero – Reading (H)
    I rarely go with who I vote for, Tevez at the moment but very worried that he'll only get 20mins.

    Mata at home to villa hes in great form


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,263 ✭✭✭✭manual_man

    Suarez for me


  • Registered Users Posts: 138 ✭✭bensboys


    Aguero – Reading (H)
    I will be going for tevez, looked great last week!

    Are people with Aguero going to captain him? Id love to but Im afraid he might not start, Ill probably chance it anyway though.

    Taarabt – Newcastle (A)
    Am I mad to go with Ba at home to QPR?

    Especially with Ben Arfa and Cabaye absent?

    If you're spending on Aguero over Tevez then you gotta have faith in him starting. I'd give him the armband if I had him.

    Of course it could work out, but its a big gamble imo.

    Like last week it's a call between Suarez ans Van Persie, last week I wen't with Suarez and I'll probably do the same again

    Swiper's on Suarez, everyone do the opposite!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    i'm thinking silva at the moment.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,247 ✭✭✭Steven81


    Aguero – Reading (H)
    Given how Reading defended against Arsenal city could destroy them too, Tevez all the way


  • Registered Users Posts: 36,171 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Silva for me.

    yes, i might be crazy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 607 ✭✭✭BroLo


    Aguero – Reading (H)
    Tevez is a huge rotation risk, especially given this week, as Mancini could use it as a rest week for the big guns.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Rooney – Swansea (A)
    RVP, don't fancy gambling on Tevez or Silva.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Berbatov – Liverpool (A)
    Someone I have who I reckon could have a big week is Puncheon (Lallana being out will mean there is a bigger onus on him to threaten), but I don't think I have the liathroidi to captain him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,731 ✭✭✭Fowler87


    Rooney – Swansea (A)
    Obviously would like to chance Silva and Cazorla but have jumped 200k in the rankings last few weeks Capt RVP so probably gonna leave it at that with Silva VC

    Would be crazy to captain him.

    Captain choice should go to who is most likely to pull in a big return, not a gamble on who could be the biggest scorer!

    If Llama performs then just be happy with him as a differential.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Tevez for me. Sure he's a rotation risk but the bigger risk is the rodgering he could give the Reading defence if he starts IMO, which I think he will.

    or maybe RVP?

    Mancini fúcking with me.

    i may chicken out of Silva so that I know my captain is definitely playing pretty much a full game.

    I am debating Silva or RVP also. Silva will play close to a full game so that dont really bother me, its will Silva outscore RVP. If Man Utd were 2-0 or something up after 60-70 mins Fergie might take off RVP with the busy few days that lie ahead, it applys both ways really.

    Was going to go with Tevez, but he may only get a cameo role. At least Suarez will definitely start, so I have gone with him


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,731 ✭✭✭Fowler87


    Rooney – Swansea (A)
    I see alot of reluctantcy about people capt Tevez as he might be rested. But as FFS podcast also said, wont be a surprise if he still scores well from bench.. city will have alot to spare tomorrow


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,263 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Berbatov – Liverpool (A)
    seems about 50-50 on tevez and rvp, but i bet alot of those on tevez will choke and change to rvp last minute


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,249 ✭✭✭slingerz


    I think Silva could be a good differential as captain tbh


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Ballotelli out with a virus tomorrow so gives Aguero / Tevez more chance of starting. With Nasri out theres probably a chance Aguero Tevez and Dzeko will all start. Would love to captain Aguero but will prob stick with rvp.

    I'd opt for Aguero over Tevez for tomorrow tbh. Its been a stop start season for him but I do feel he's a better goalscorer than Tevez. Anyway, I'd say it's a no-brainer to pick a City striker as captain. I dont have either right now so i'm choosing between:

    RVP
    Suarez
    Defoe
    Silva
    Cazorla
    Michu

    Silva isnt usually a massive scorer, i prefer picking strikers who have the potential to do serious damage. Usually when i'm in two minds I just go with RVP.

    But my gut feeling now is Suarez tbh! Fulham looked awful last week at QPR and bar the odd away game, thats how they tend to be.
