    i'd be happy to go with lambert if this were a single gw

    brought lukaku in to captain him which in my experience
    having him means he will do sweet fa

    I voted Lukaku, although I'm still debating between him and Dzeko.
    Practically last chance to get to closer to first (currently I'm second) in a friendly league we have at work.

    Upcoming gigs and events: Dry Cleaning, The Shawshank Redemption, Sprints, These Charming Men, Sasha Velour, Disorder Festival, David Byrne, The Cure, Garbage, Bob The Drag Queen, Sigur Ros, Olafur Arnalds, Cabaret Voltaire, Angine de Poitrine, Cardinals

    Im going lukaku best fixtures and guaranteed to start both games. Lukaku and ade are much maligned around these parts both offer great value IMO. People just need to realise they are not 11million + FF players.

    Went with Suarez. Hardest captain choice so far of this year for me! Liverpool scoring for fun at Anfield this year, v Arsenal and Spurs coming to mind, plus City well dodgy at back, think Suarez and Sturridge will rip Demich a new one!! A bit surprised Luk (have him myself) has over 50% of vote, away to S'land who are TYPICALLY pretty tight at the back at home while Everton haven't been pretty prolific on the road, and then CP who are on a good run themselves. Anyway we'll see I just have a feeling Liverpool are going to comprehensively beat City, the whole 25 yr anniversary for the 96 will have emotions high, and I think we'll be inspired, there's growing belief that this is our year

    Ah... I dont know who to captain.

    I've given the armband to Lukaku 4 times this season to try and pick up extra points and it backfired every time. He did nothing each time.

    I have Yaya and Dzeko also but not sure if both will play both matches this gameweek.

    For some mad reason I'm looking at Barkley as capt as I doubt anybody else will pick him in my league and I just dont want to be let down again by Lukaku.....

    bizarre - totalfpl poll - Suarez 44%, Lukaku 7.5%
    fsa poll - Suarez 7.5%, Lukaku 50%!

    Lukaku-love a-plenty on the boards!!

    You looked at the GW33 poll :p. They haven't updated their captain poll tab.

    The one from GW34 is found from the first live news link and it's: Lukaku 46%, Suarez 4% ;) (=> http://polldaddy.com/poll/7958110/)

    Suarez 4% :eek: Frankly i'm quite disgusted with that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 378 ✭✭John83


    I'm chasing second place in both my paid leagues. Teams are quite similar and both will undoubtedly captain Lukaku. I need some sort of differential.

    Suarez it is :eek:

    I don't understand how Suarez got 4%. He only has one fixture and it's against Man City who have improved a lot at the back. He's a risky pick this week imo. I'd have Lukaku and Yaya ahead of him and maybe even Baines.

    If it's any consolation he's on 5% on FFS poll :p...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 320 ✭✭AlanDeGenerous


    Gonna wait and see what Manuel has to say later. Only 13 behind the leader in my league so there's not really much point in me taking a risk.... but it's Aguero... and its a DGW!


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


    Dang, Sunday night Morning I was thinking Yaya. Had not considered City away Liverpool at the time.

    After head scratching till last night over transfers, and finalizing the line up, on selecting Yaya as Captain, and Lukaku, as Vice-Captain, I am now thinking the other way round.

    Oh this game does my head in at times.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    I took a deep breath and made Baines my captain.

    On their day, Sunderland and Palace can be solid at the back and frustrate the likes of Lukaku, They offer very little in the way of going forward though so I can easily see Baines picking up two clean sheets in addition to his attacking contribution!

    Don't do it.

    Same could be said for Coleman, thats now added to my frustration over this stupid game.

    :D

    Going against the grain for a change. The auld fpl favourite Baines gets the armband for me. 100k in the world for last few weeks so **** it might as well take a chance and he has rarely let me down too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,183 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    **** it, I'm going against all my better judgement and captaining Aguero. I just don't fancy Lukaku's chances enough.

    No I'm not. I need to stop getting overexcited with myself.

    I think it might be time totake a break and turn off the computer when you start having conversations with yourself on a chat forum about fantasy football captains :pac:

    I've been burnt by Lukaku captaincy more times than by Aguero injury..... Aguero decision made


  • Posts: 45,738 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Aguero, easy decision


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    If I had Baines I would definitely consider him!


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


    Holding out on Yaya so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,641 ✭✭✭G1032


    Just switched from Yaya to Lukaku. I swore to myself before I'd never captain him again and I did. I got burned. I then swore a second time I'd never captain him again..............but here I am, captaining him again.....

    I have Baines too but have so far resisted the urge to put the armband on him

    Edit
    Ah f*** it. I'll go back to Yaya and stick with my original decision


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


    I'm going for Aguero unless I panic in the next 14 hours. Lukaku is VC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,135 ✭✭✭✭mailburner


    going with lambert

    fancy soton to put at least 3 past cardiff who have
    let in 3, 3 +6 in their last three
    he got one goal and one assist away to cardiff (11pts)
    soton score plenty and a home game v cardiff equals
    lots of goals imo

    bugs me not having lallana also

    you heard it here first :)


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


    Staying with Yaya. Have closed the FPL site for the night.

    On lukaku as he has the best worst opponents though I am fully aware I am going to suffer 180 mins of utter frustration because of it...
