Does anyone dare take it off Suarez?

No. I don't even see the point in a poll.

I only looked in to say the same thing, waste of time!

Mr.Prodston

Turner has been showing glimpses of his goal-scoring potential recently and with a game against his former team in Sunderland he's surely an option? Poll fail :pac:

G1032

What's the point of this thread? Anyone with Suarez will captain him. Anyone without him doesn't take the game serious in any way and won't be checking forums like this.

Tough one.

GLaDOS

Lukaku, nailed on


















not

PARlance

Think we should just have a: GW 17 - 38 Captain Thread

And let anyone post if they decide to take it of Suarez from now until the end of the season.

How about a vice captain poll, where we can vote and discuss who we would captain if there was no Luis.

I think that would be a bit pointless too tbh.

unless Suarez gets hit by a bus before saturday I'll be picking him.
In fact, even being hit by a bus, i'll still pick him.

Tongue. Cheek. Inserted.

Although i'll probably pick Suarez on Saturday morning, i still think Rooney & Negredo are very good captain shouts as well. They both have attractive fixtures against teams on a fairly poor run.

A cheeky punt on Rooney as a differential..

Brave person who claims they are captaining Remy this week, identify yourself.

IsMiseMyself

Lukaku.

the whole year inn

Suarez is class but Rooney is definitely a option.

Sooner or Later

I'm a little worried now. The last time Suarez had this level of support was before the Hull game and look what happened then.

Don't worry, for once captain choice doesn't matter a damn, the rest of our teams will have to do the damage.

Dempsey

Suarez

The more important question this week is who will be vice captain! how drunk will I get this weekend! :P

Michael D Not Higgins

I tried the differential by picking Rooney last week and it backfired. Luckily, every one of my friends did the same thing and captained someone besides Suarez. I'll probably miss out on Rooney getting a hattrick now.

There are only 2 fixtures from which to pick an alternative to Suarez as captain, but neither team has a nailed on scorer (ManC / Manu). Suarez again..

Yeah I'd like to see that. The Captain's poll is pointless at the moment, vice captain would give people a few hints if they wanted to be brave and try to pick someone other than Luis

Captains pole is far from pointless, if some player fares better than Suarez this week we can see from the pole how bery bery wrong we all were

Yeah but what is the benefit of captaining someone else than Suarez ? 3/4 or maybe even 4/5 of the active players will captain him. There is not any standout second choice since Aguero is injured and Rooney a doubt. Even if you're chasing, the season is still long enough (we haven't even reach half of it) to come back with e.g. 2 critical periods coming successively (Christmas and the January WC). So if your gamble succeeds it'll only be a triomph if Suarez has a stinker and your captain a blinder. If it fails it could end your hopes to catch up... To me FF is a succession of calculated risk and this one is too risky IMO.




Now that I've said all that it is due that Suarez will do nothing... :rolleyes:

No we were right. Sometimes the illogical decision renders a better outcome, kind of like going allin in a poker hand with 2 7 unsuited against pocket aces and winning.

Luis Suarez is pocket aces.

Has there ever been a week with a player on such a high percentage in this pole?

I'd say RVP definitely would have been at some stage. Suarez hasn't reached his levels of sureness just yet.

A week?! Sure didn't Ronaldo have a whole year when he was with United!

16 goals + 10 assists in his opening 11 games? I'm not sure RVP, Bale, Ronaldo or Henry even matched that. I may be wrong, and it's a small sample size, but I can't remember anyone starting a season as explosively as Suarez has started his. He's averaged 12.4 points per game! The expectation is for him to score double digits against Cardiff. 12 points would actually be a statistical underachievement. He's unlikely to continue this form all season but it would be good to have the ability to measure him against previous FF kings. If only there was an archived database of FF figures from previous years... surely FPL could make the data available?

Especially with all the turmoil around Malky Mackay, I expect the Cardiff to fold against Liverpool. Suarez hattrick.
