    Waiting for someone to start the GW21 captain poll...confused.pngconfused.pngconfused.png
    Think they're holding off until half the premier league are confirmed injured... should be about Thursday at this rate

    Gonna prove you wrong :pac: :D...
    ... and start my first ever Captain Poll.


    Plenty of decent options this week (*).

    Of course Suarez can't be ignored. Same with the Man City attacking threats: Negredo, Silva, Yaya.

    Then, fixture-wise, Spurs' Adebayor and Eriksen are tempting, Lukaku would be if he was not in a downfall of form and Rooney would be top of the list if he was not injured or doubtful or whatever knock he carries... Well, Welbeck could be a good one week punt but like the Arsenal lads (Ozil, Cazorla, Podolski) this "differential" captain is too risky in my opinion.

    Talking about differentials if you're brave and wild you can try your chance with Berbatov :p.

    Considering form now, you could give the armband to Chelsea midfielders Hazard or Oscar or Southampton "stars" Lallana or J. Rodriguez.


    (*) Ah iroced would you stop your blah-blah and stick it to Suarez like everyone else :D.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    It has to be Suarez.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Tempted by all three of my strikers: Rooney, Suarez and Rodriguez.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭Dubliner28


    1 from Eriksen, Coleman or Lukakau


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,223 ✭✭✭Michael D Not Higgins


    Might go Rooney with Suarez VC, United at home can't lose to Swansea twice in a week right?

    Edit: will likely see how the Carling Cup game turns out tonight, first.

    Suarez. Follow the sheep.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,881 ✭✭✭TimeToShine


    Suarez it has to be...can't afford to get left behind at this stage, better off going with the masses and relying on your other players.

    Yaya , I'm certain he'll score .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    ade or suarez


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,692 ✭✭✭Danger781


    Have it on Suarez at the moment.. But if I had Adebayor I'd likely put it on him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,185 ✭✭✭G1032


    Suarez. Lukaku is never getting the armband again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,951 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Suarez.


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


    Many options, with not much between them => when in doubt, Suarez.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭grohlisagod


    Was all set to captain Walcott. Really unsure now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    King Luis


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Lukaku


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 742 ✭✭✭ItsChecoTime


    Strongly considering captaining Adebayor..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 270 ✭✭sanket


    Saurez all the way cant miss out if he hits 3 or 4


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭biscuits1988


    Suarez... Not cut and dry but the quintessential safe option


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    J Rod, bit of a gamble.


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


    Ade all the way!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 270 ✭✭sanket


    Cant believe 10ppl voted for lukaku..or are they just confusing others :D:D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    Have gone for Suarez but as a Pool fan I have my doubts. We have a terrible record there (have not won in 5), plus Stoke actually have an impressive home record this season, particularly against some of the top sides.

    He's the obvious non-Suarez choice. Home to Norwich. His last home game he scored 9pts with Suarez only getting 5, Walcott 6. I captained him that week and I'll captain him this week.

    Clear choice with Suarez having what looks like another tough game away. Liverpool tend not to go well in these games,
    Toss up between him and Jay Jay from Southampton


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    I'm at a complete loss as to who to captain this week.

    Viable options are - Hazard, Ozil, Silva, Suarez, Adebayor, Lukaku and I have Coleman as the wildcard captain. (maybe it's finally time to pull the trigger on Coleman :pac:)

    Ozil - Very tempted to hand it to him as Villa have been shipped a lot of goals at home this season against strong opposition.

    Lukaku - Same deal with Norwich's away form, they're leaking goals against the better sides.

    Adebayor - Crystal Palace are likely to park the bus imo, this could be 1-0 affair or it could be goals galore like we saw when they were away to Liverpool.

    Maybe I should just take the safe route and go with Suarez...

    Hazard and Silva are at the bottom of my list.

    Tempted to put it on Ade. Only tempted though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


    I'm tempted to go for jay rod for captain over suarez. It's a tough one


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


    Between Adebayor and Suarez right now...can't decide...Wellbeck maybe...can't decide...
    I think i leave it with Adebayor, and then check the poll at 11:27 on Saturday morning to see who is on the top. We all know Suarez will be on the top so i will change it to Suarez and win either way.

    I'd actually probably have it on Ade myself if he was in my team. Have a feeling he will run riot against palace ;)

    Thinking the same, he was a good buy and with all the faith i have in Suarez he might want to take 1 or 2 more games off. You can't run riot all the time - leave it to someone else for once Luis;)
    Crystal Palace at home with a rebuilt, very attacking Spurs is a tasty fixture..
    I hope I am right about this one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 491 ✭✭robocode


    Tempted to go with Adebayor but then remembered Palace managed to only concede one at the Etihad.

    I had been 100% for Suarez, but this thread has me seriously considering Lukaku.

    Over to Mr Prodston for Norwich watch.....they are missing Mickey T and Howson I believe, do you see them being ripe for a hammering??

    You called? :p

    Yeah they're missing those 2 alright. It's hard to tell really as my gut is telling me it could be quite low-scoring if any goals at all. Bennett is rather rash and Martin isn't really a CB so Lukaku may get some joy against whoever fills in at CB. However Norwich have gotten more clean sheets away from home than at carrow road along well as the spankings.

    Lukaku is always a gamble no matter what the opposition. It depends on whether Everton get an early goal or not, but we don't have that luxury :pac: I have Lukaku and I haven't really considered him. I'd be shocked if it turned into the shellacking that they got a Liverpool and City is about as much as I could really predict.

    I'm not sure if that has helped in anyway at all but I wouldn't be against the idea of captaining him as I think once Tettey returns in a week or two then Norwich will be a lot more solid and it could be one last chance for teams to really run riot against them.

    Was talking to my Everton correspondent there and he was not enthusiastic either, in fact he said I should sell Lukaku to fck. Mind you he also said I should captain Coleman!

    Suarez it is.

    Captain poll.............. I can't even decide my bloody team let alone a captain poll.

    Between Lukaku, Suarez and Ade. Tempted by Ade. Jelavic may even get a start tomorrow ahead of Lukaku

    That should put an end to any move for Shane Long.

    A decent move for Hull though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    It's about time I voted myself, has to be Suarez really. That's one job done anyway!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    With Rooney gone, I really should captain Suarez. But Rodriguez's and Adebayor's home fixtures look so good :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,818 ✭✭✭Inspector Coptoor


    Is captaining Eriksen madness?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Suarez (c), Ozil (vc)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭shayno90


    Eriksen as captain, worth a shot I think.
