    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...
    Im captaining him aswell I reckon he is going to blank in the first game and then redeem himself(I hope) in the second game.

    Actually have zero faith in him but he is the best candidate on paper especially with Kun being back and taking penalties of Yaya.

    I think I'll stick with YaYa(feels really weird with suarez jest VC so might change in morning. :) ).

    Cannot decide between Yaya, Silva or Lukaku.

    Brought in Lukaku for a -4 hit as I noticed main rival (who has ran away with my league tbf) had him.

    Armband on Yaya, but Argh!


    I don't know!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    Lukaku or Yaya. That is the question. Might flip a coin and figure out who I'm really in favour of. Yaya is far and away one of the most consistent players in the league but Lukaku is on a great run: 3 goals and 2 assists in the last four, and their opponents are easier on paper.

    Plus, Everton will have serious momentum after their tidy putting away of Arsenal. Buuut Palace are reasonably tidy in the backs, though I reckoned Sunderland are on a short road to nowhere. They're getting worse defensively and Yaya is an absolute cert to score over the two legs.

    I've never been captained Lukaku either, so have yet to have been burned by him. Dunno. Gonna sleep on it and hope inspiration comes to me in the land of nod. :D I've given up on having a good ranking so I just wanna win my league now. Inactive second place has come out of retirement so he might go risky with his captain choice. I know he's refusing to buy Lukaku in because he's trying to play for differentials, so I think he might give it to Yaya but who knows?

    I think I'm gonna stick with my gut for Aguero.

    It's exactly against the 'weaker' opposition set up to defend that Rom has failed.

    This from www.fantastfootballgeek.co.uk...
    How has he performed against poor opposition
    Poor: Blanked against Sunderland H, Hull H, Cardiff H, Fulham A, Norwich H. Returned against Newcastle Home and Away, Fulham Home and Stoke Home.
    He’s had 10 point hauls in 4 games. Newcastle Away and Home. Liverpool and Arsenal.

    I can justify yaya in my mind as I can't see Aguero making both games. So chances are he'll get a peno...

    It all makes sense to me now:D

    Said before that I will never put an armband on Lukaku.
    Said before I won't buy Aguero this season.

    I brought Aguero into my team so it does make a sense to make him a captain at this stage.

    You can't bring a 12m worth player in if you are not ready to captain him, can You?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,972 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Have had it on yaya all week. Brought in Sergio last night but cant convince myself to captain him......

    yep, computer off, yaya captain and we roll the dice!

    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 :)

    from lukaku to lambert and now settled on yaya
    the home game v sunderland the clincher for me

    hardest week of season for me picking a captain

    Relax the f***in kacks. Its how u said it. Of course everyones entitled to have an opinion, but only some1 with a serious chip on their shoulder would bother 2reply to what i said, the way u did. Now keep it up, if u like, i've got all f***in day, or learn the lesson, and move on - if you've got nothin good to say, don't f***in say anythin at all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,529 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey

    Godspeed.

    I don't think I could ever give the armband to someone who's not nailed on for the 90.

    I didn't say it. You're the one who needs to relax


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,961 ✭✭✭✭8-10


    Went for Coleman. Need a clean sheet badly!


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


    That Coleman yellow is a killer for anyone that captained him, will likely cost you 6 points.

    got it right so far
    lol

    all i ask is for yaya to start v sunderland and that captain
    pick should be justified

    not really wanting him doing a lot as a pool fan but if he scored
    in a 3-1 defeat i wouldnt mind having benched skrtel


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


    Atta'boy Baines! More of that against Palace, and maybe a goal would be nice :)


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


    Guess those who captained Lukaku are still in the mix for getting more points with Suarez done and Yaya out..Pity no one came out tops...

    Aguero could still come out on top, he'll probably start as Sunderland face a City backlash at the Ethiad.


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


    Hoping Dzeko starts ahead of Aguero and he can get a goal or two before he comes off. Can't see Aguero playing the full 90 so still a chance captain Dzeko could come good.

    I can't see Aguero starting. He didn't look up for the Pool game at all--granted, that was a terrible game for him to return to.
