    I have it on Rooney now and Silva as a VC, not convinced yet.
    Siggy is out of question as I don't captain "cheap" players.
    Ramsey is third in line.

    Rooney or Silva:confused::confused::confused:

    It's not based on stats at all! It's just that if Rooney (in this case) returns a 2 pointer I'm left sh1tting myself for the rest of the weekend!

    A bit illogical i know, but can't help feeling that way!

    Have a feeling Burnley will put in a performance against United tomorrow and it's turning me off Rooney. Tempted to go with Aguero now that I've gone against everything I previously said and brought him in :o

    I'm a United fan,we are playing poorly and for the life of me.I can't remember the last time we put in a performance in an early kick-off either.

    No doubt Rooney will go on the rampage if I give the captaincy to someone else for the first time this season.

    Going with Rooney, think he'll be fired up after being announced as England captain. Also with Di Maria due to play he will get much better service than from the likes of Valencia and Young.

    I think its mainly that come 3 o clock on a saturday you are keeping an eye on all the games, your captain, your assists etc. If your captain plays in the early game and does nothing your weekend is effectively over before it begins and you are looking at all the other games thinking i should have went with (insert player with double figures)

    Saying that im going with Roomey. Di Maria to give him decent service and he should be im good spirits with England armband.

    Haha true. I'm hoping my punt on Ramsey works out. It was originally on Costa, then I pulled it off him when he was injured and it was between Rooney and Ramsey. Will be happy if he scores somewhere in the middle of the three!

    Mata was my Yolo this week. Got a sly 1 point for a clean sheet. Reasonably happy!

    Went for Siggy myself on a whim as I didn't trust Rooney to do the business and Costa was reportedly out injured on Thursday when I had to make my choice, so I got lucky there. Proved to be a massive differential in my private league as I shot from 5th place and 25 points behind first place up to 2nd place, just 5 points behind now!

    I've been doing well since I've made Costa my captain in Week 2 (Rooney in Week 1). Had him as my captain this week with Sigi a very reliable choice as vice captain. Broke the 70 point barrier (which is not something I do regularly) and suddenly I'm top or near the top of my private leagues :)
