    Interesting difference of opinion on the "predictors" FFS has Aguero marginally ahead of Costa whereas new boys Fantasy Football Fix have it firmly favouring Costa oat 7.5 with Aguero on 6.2. I plan on going Aguero over Costa myself.
    The other way round but yeah it's an interesting difference like the old hands trust Aguero consistency while the young "wolves" prefer Costa potential explosive returns.

    No FFS have Aguero ahead of Costa this week but by a tiny margin I don't think I can put the actual numbers as its paid for etc.

    With my fixed team its either oscar or yaya and I'm going with oscar I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    I'm going with Aguero.

    I haven't had much success from the 3 times I've captained Costa to be honest.

    Really :eek: :confused: ??? You mean FantasyFootballScout?

    This is what I see (I'm not a full member)
    • Diego Costa 41.41% (1,478 votes)
    • Sergio Aguero 39.34% (1,404 votes)
    You mentioned you paid for it, would that mean full members and free members don't get to see the same (C) poll?

    I'm not a member but I think he's referring to the predict points tool that we freebies can't access

    I did say it was the predictions not captain polls thought that might be the mix up! There is a members tool that uses various data sources to come up with an expected score. The captains poll is more waited to who people are going to captain not who they would if they had the option of any player. Its worth getting the membership even if its only to help support what is an amazing resource! Getting access to the opta stats on the format they have is pretty cool if you like that much info! The comparison tool is extremely interesting to go through!

    Man I don't mean to be rude, but you can not be serious with that team.

    If you have a wildcard, use it. If not, make a ****load of transfers now in the hope of salvaging what is left of the season.

    Mentioned it a few times when this captain poll pops up , I'm in a fantasy league with nine other friends,

    The way our league works is you have 100 million to spend and you bid for players against the other nine people, whoever wins the bid owns that player and no one else can own him,

    This is why my team is a bit poor at the moment ( can't buy or sell players at the moment) that's why I have to make my captain pick count :o

    Ah, this explains a lot. I would probably captain Lukaku in that case

    Brave choice. Personally I think its way too early to start trying to be a maverick.

    if my captain does not hit double figures this week I'm gonna be in big big trouble

    It's between Costa and Aguero. Naturally. Have it on Aguero at present. Probably will leave it there.

    When I join an alternative captain gang it tends to end badly.

    Just ask Mr P and others (Jovetic GW3) and Busts (Adebayor GW5).

    90% Aguero, 10% Hazard.

    Of to read the FFS Captain Sensible to kill off the 10% now....

    Its definitely unorthodox. Costa and Auguero are clearly the stand out picks this week going anything but them is pretty maverick! Mel Gibson would be proud!!
