GW 18 Captain

Mr.Nice Guy

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.

MaxPower89

Giroud – Wigan (A)

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

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.

Fritzl Funderland

Torres – Aston Villa (H)

Mata at home to villa hes in great form

manual_man

Berbatov – Liverpool (A)

Suarez for me

bensboys

Aguero – Reading (H)

I will be going for tevez, looked great last week!

irish son

Van Persie – Swansea (A)

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

tom_k

Taarabt – Newcastle (A)

Am I mad to go with Ba at home to QPR?

Especially with Ben Arfa and Cabaye absent?

Amirani

Aguero – Reading (H)

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.

Swiper the fox

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

Santi101

Swiper's on Suarez, everyone do the opposite!

Hogey007

i'm thinking silva at the moment.

Steven81

Aguero – Reading (H)

Given how Reading defended against Arsenal city could destroy them too, Tevez all the way

SlickRic

Silva for me.

yes, i might be crazy.

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.

roryc

Rooney – Swansea (A)

RVP, don't fancy gambling on Tevez or Silva.

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.

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.

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.

SlickRic

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.

billymitchell

Aguero – Reading (H)

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

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

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

slingerz

I think Silva could be a good differential as captain tbh

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.

Santi101

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.

Van Persie – Swansea (A)

Aguero,suarez,cazorla or mata??

I'm torn between Tevez & RVP, as things go in Manciniland,rotation is a problem so I think I'll stick with RVP.

Oh & Berbatov to get a hattrick at Anfield;)

extra gravy

Giroud – Wigan (A)

Cazorla for me. If Arsenal start with the same line up as against Reading, he could have a field day again against an injury hit Wigan side.

Santi101

Tbh I wouldnt even have to think if I had Aguero/Tevez, absolute no-brainer to captain them this weekend.

Think Mancini will start both.

Mancini said that Balotelli will get another chance,wonder if it's this weekend? Although I've a feeling he might go with Tevez & Aguero,they are his most effective strike force.

Santi101

I'd be surprised if Mancini changed the attack tomorrow, there will surely be rotation by most sides over the Xmas games but I dont see much tomorrow by City, United, Arsenal etc. And City do have a few away games coming up which might require a different option like Dzeko in attack perhaps. Could be wrong.

Reading are so bad Mancini could probably play 3 of his 4 strikers.

Bolloxatelli is out. Confirms my decision to put the armband on tevez

Berbatov – Liverpool (A)

tempted to swich it to santi, tis the season an all that. and wigan are decimated in defense as mentioned

Steel Dog

Going with Silva. RVP (vice-captain)

Dearg81

Van Persie – Swansea (A)

Aguero, I can see him banging in a hattrick tomorrow.

thunderdog

Tevez is guaranteed a big points haul this weekend. Captaining him will make or break your Christmas

gammygils

Tevez – Reading (H)

I captained Ya Ya Tuore this week. And I have Santi And Ba on my team!

Pity I didn't Captain Santi last week! I captained Anthony Pilkington,

Still worked out

YeatsCounty

Rooney – Swansea (A)

I had my captaincy set on Tevez all week but knowing how Mancini operates, I've decided to go for RVP at the last moment. *sigh*

Ballotelli out Tevez should start. Doesn't mean that RVP won't be the correct choice

If Tevez starts, he has to run riot......right?!?

No matter what choice I make, it will be the wrong one.

You could say city ran riot last week without Tevez scoring but he could have had a hatfull

km79

I've had it on silva since I bought him early in the week......I'm beginning to get twitchy I've an awful feeling reading will be a hell of a lot more stubborn than we all expect.
My default captain has been RVP.....other 2 strikers are Ba and Suarez

SlickRic

you're always best to go with your gut.

mine says Silva for some reason, so I'm sticking to it.

Agreed,mine has been Tevez all week and even though the RVP jitters are starting to hit i am going to keep it on Tevez..

alchemist33

RVP, then Tevez for a few days, then Silva, now Tevez, prompted by the probably false belief that with Balo out, Tevez may get penalties.
