    Surprised this hasn't been put up yet :D

    I know most of you will have it on Suarez, but I assume people haven't forgotten that he drew a blank against them last time (And they were beaten 3-1 on top of it). I know Hull are a different club at home compared to being away, but it's still something to keep in mind!

    Arsenal have a tasty enough fixture up against Cardiff. Walcott could work out very nicely. Not sure I'd consider anyone else in their team at the moment though without Ramsey and Ozil.

    Suarez at home to anyone not in the top half is a shoe in....

    Anyone not giving him the band deserves to suffer badly on points lost.

    Hull are 10th :P

    I have it on Suarez at the moment but thinking about Walcott, I have a feeling Arsenal might hammer Cardiff and Hull are tricky opponents as Danger mentioned.

    :o:o

    He still is the standout candidate,after 2 defeats Liverpool need to win badly. Hull hammered a pretty pathetic Fulham team by a scoreline you wouldn't predict in a million years.
    6-0 a false impression of Hull's ability imo.

    How much they score is irrelevant here, it's how much they stop the other team from scoring :p Although they haven't keep a single clean sheet in the league away from home.

    On the other hand, the last time Cardiff face Arsenal they were beaten 3-0. Arsenal are at home this time.

    Suarez is a no brainer but Walcott will get the VC.

    After a couple of uncertain weeks for the captaincy this one is pretty straightforward.

    That's exactly how I have it now but part of me wants to swap them around :pac:

    You probably can't go wrong either way, in theory :pac:

    Walcott would certainly be the risk and reward route route but go against Suarez at your peril.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Walcott
    Too risky not to captain Suarez in a week like this when 90% will have him captained. Way too stressful...

    Mertesacker and Coleman nearly viable captain options at this stage, given the former seems to get 3 bonus any time they get a cs, and the latter scoring for fun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭GetWithIt


    Walcott
    Only 95% on Suarez? Much surprise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Someone here said someday they would give it to Coleman. Not quite ready at the mo, I have in the past but for now he does have the VC.

    Captain? Who do ya think?

    :D

    Suarez. All.day.long.

    Walcott
    After last week this will be more than welcome to steady the ship. Such an obvious choice will mean that it shouldn't make much difference either way, although it would be nice if Suarez runs riot and punished the 5-10% that don't captain him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    Probably Suarez, he's due a few goals. Theo is tempting though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,946 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Walcott
    Those 3 lads who didn't go for Suarez need to get it together.

    I really, really wanna captain Walcott, but I know I'm gonna succumb to the pressure of everyone being on Suarez and just going for that :(

    Walcott... or Suarez... or possibly Walcott or maybe Suarez


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,685 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    I think i wait for the injuries list to be updated, and make a decision at 11:29 tomorrow. Suarez(c) and Hazard(vc) for now, but the injuries pop up now, so wait till last minute. I probably won't wake up on time anyway:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,589 ✭✭✭✭Necronomicon


    Really not sure who to VC. It's something I want to be sure about with these rumours of Suarez not being 100% fit. The two obvious candidates are Walcott and Rooney who, unlike Suarez, are flagged on the site.

    Walcott showing doubtful at the moment. Which means he'll start..and score...:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Seriously, what about Coleman as VC?

    He can't keep this scoring run up and Everton haven't kept a clean sheet in the last five.

    Feck it I'm drunk I'm going for Podolski

    Easy choice - Suarez.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭Pj!


    Back to the easy choices and similar scores. I enjoyed (and fortunately progressed) the last two gameweeks.


    But yeah it's Suarez. It'll make little or no difference if he scores high or low. Hopefully he's rested and the VCs come into play. :D

    Keep making that decision and you'll benefit long-term. I had the temptation to bring in Walcott too but it just didn't make sense, even with the benefit of hindsight.

    Up 'til the last minute of the Arsenal game that looked like the better return!

    Walcott made us fret until the last minute, glad I stuck with him as captain again this week.

    Methinks its a boat worth chasing to try climb on the back.

    This is one boat where you need to fill your speed boat with -4 hits to catch it in time.
