    It really doesn't work that way. There's a decent chance he will be eased in like Van Persie following the World Cup

    I'd imagine he'll come on as a late sub for maybe 20 mins. He gets his welcome from the fans and is eased into the hustle and bustle of a game against lower table opposition. Opposition will be tiring at that stage too so he could have an impact. As I said elsewhere, there's no hurry getting him in. If he looks good I'll consider him. Far too much of a risk for me when there are clearly already many reliable options at that price.

    I was thinking Rooney but I'm now considering buying Aguero for Costa. I'll see what the news is today. If I buy Aguero I'll make him captain.

    You have got to be joking. Their new signing that they just spent £60m will play nearly the whole game, if not the full 90. Regardless of how match fit he is. It will remain that way week in, week out.

    Yip.., they'll rush him into the team to make sure the Burnley fans get to see him for 90 mins.

    Rooney is the obvious option but he was terrible last week. He played quite deep too. RVP was further forward. Where will Di Maria play and will he affect Rooney? (My knowledge of football is limited to FPL :pac:). I have captaincy on Ramsey at the minute. He's got 2/2 and he's up against Liecester. Seems a safe bet to score.

    Di Maria has only been training with United since yesterday and not even full training due to press conferences. He was not training all week due to negotations and moving country. He will not be match fit and no way will he play a full game on Saturday as he will be eased in. It's crazy to captain him but there is an abundance of crazy players in FPL so work away!

    No city striker so tempted by Kompany....cant see stoke scoring and he is a huge threat as usual on set pieces

    Don't think aguero will start.. Pelligrini said today.. "we'll see how many minutes he will get tomorrow".

    I'm a bit nervous of captaining Jovetic, worried that Dzeko and Aguero might start ahead of him, so I changed the captaincy to Siggy, I'm not sure if it's the right call though. Not something I want to mull over for too long!

    Sticking with Jovetic and I hope my compadres from the other night will hold firm. Although I fear we have already lost Busts to a wildcard.

    Hold firm the rest of ye, Super Mick will watch over us.

    Is Aguero going to start though? That is the only thing that is making me nervous about putting that capital c on him.

    Loves weeks like this with no clear choice. Captaincy spread out for different teams meaning potential big gains or losses depending on choice.

    1500 matches are going to be super nerve-wracking for me since I have no City players and Siggy captain.

    Jovetic, Dzeko and Aguero are all fit according to Pellegrini.

    he said Aguero is "absolutely fine" and "we'll see how many minutes he'll play".

    it suggests a sub appearance, but I wouldn't be surprised if he starts and gets an hour.

    i've Dzeko, not Aguero, and i'm going to captain Rooney or Ramsey for the reason that at least I know that they're definitely starting and will also play 90 barring injury.

    A difficult one for me.
    It currently sits with Alexis, but I also have Ramsey, Rooney and Jovetic on my team and I see all three as potentially good options.

    Think that Dzeko and Jovetic will start for City with Aguero coming on if they need him.....going with Jovetic.

    Toying with the idea of giving the armband to Costa seeing as loads of people got rid of him. Bit early in the season for those sort of gambles though.

    With all the uncertainty around Costa and Aguero (whom I could have transfered in for the former if he was nailed on for 90 min) I'll certainly go Rooney (C) Siggy (VC). Don't really have the balls for reversing this order...

    Ugh, just realised united play in the early game on Saturday. I HATE captaining someone in the early Sat kick-off. Might switch to Ramsey. I know this makes no sense, but I was between the 2 anyway.

    Mata over Rooney or anybody else for me. Goals could be shared between RVP and Rooney so at least Mata can come up with an assist. Gets in the box just as much too. A safer bet than Rooney IMO.

    Siggi at the moment but tempted by Rooney,after the Di Maria signing we might actually see some decent balls into the strikers rather than them dropping deep to try to get some service.

    What is the reason that so many players hate to captain those who play early on Saturday? Any stats to support this?
