Gameweek 18 Captain poll

alchemist33

On paper, many options this week. In the real world, many of the better options may stay on the bench, supping tomato soup from under their tartan blankets.

Sanchez (QPR)

Hazard if fit, Yaya if not

MR NINE

Yaya (wba)

Its a rotation minefield this time of year so with that in mind im going for the fresh rested in form bony with a nice home fixture. If i knew sanchez would start id pick him but i think theres a good chance he'll get rested.

extra gravy

If I had Giroud, I'd go for him. Will probably go with Bony though. He's been close to racking up some big scores in recent games and maybe this will be the game he finally explodes in.

Dempsey

RVP (NEW)

Silva....

Lemlin

Yaya (wba)

More than likely Bony but Villa are not an easy side to break down.

manual_man

Silva (wba)

Giroud. On form, at home, against the worst away side in the league. Easiest decision in a while

LucidLife

Giroud (QPR)

Im seeing a costa hatrick

Just looking at that...they're only behind City, Chelsea and Southampton in terms of fewest away goals conceded. Food for thought alright.

Edit: They've actually conceded the same number of away goals as Chelsea - 10

Giroud(c) hazard (vc)

Was thinking of transferring Sterling. He has not done much for me in a while

Gits_bone

Bony (AVL)

I'm thiknking RVP.

AdMMM

Costa (WHU)

Eriksen, Sanchez or Bony. Currently Sanchez wearing it...

Iused2likebusts

yaya or hazard or whatever striker I get for costa.

Lemlin

Yaya (wba)

I'm thinking of just going with Sanchez. All this talk of rotation is making me dizzy at this stage. Last year it was clear Ozil badly needed a rest and Arsene just played him and Ramsey until he broke them over the Xmas period.

I'm thinking that mightn't change this year.

km79

most nailed on starters for me are probably
baines - no thanks
yaya- away but a possibility
rooney- home ,in decent form but in midfield ......
bony- home but villa defence is mean
probably between Rooney and bony
forgot Giroud- not a certainty to start.... but reckon he will
so between them 3

FrClintPower

Costa (WHU)

I've gone Sanchez (C) and Bony (VC).

If Sanchez is going to be rested hopefully he gets the full game off, otherwise I'm happy to have him captain at home against QPR. Bony's guaranteed to start but Villa aren't the worst at the back.

Other candidates - Rooney's too deep, Austin's away (although you never know....), Eriksen's too unpredictable, Hazard may be injured/rested.

Sanchez is the stand out choice but good chance he'll be rotated so not sure what to do, probably Bony if I play it safe.

kevinroche3333

Bony (AVL)

Van Persie for me. Probably!
60mins the last game, Rooney has played alot of 90mins recently so i cant see him moving up top to replace RVP, and Wilson doesnt look like starting material yet for me. I cant see Falcao starting as lone striker.
United lost their shape a little once RVP went off vs Villa, I see Van Gaals main man leading the charge at home to Newcastle.

Gits_bone

Bony (AVL)

Any more for RVP?

JokerD

Can't see Hazard playing, it was predicted after his appearance against Derby that he would miss at least one game over the festive period and after the injury last night then it's likely he'll miss the West Ham game imo.

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Costa (WHU)

Sanchez for me, QPR are woeful away. Really hoping my captaincy luck continues, my last two captains have been Hazard last week and Austin this GW.

bang on.

there ain't a hope of Sanchez being rested IMO.

Arsene will play his best players through Christmas, then rest them for the FA Cup weekend.

larchielads

If hazard is rested what's the chances Fabregas to keep play in further forward or do u reckon shurle will play instead of hazard and fab to go back beside matic wit Oscar coming back into the side?

The Wild Bunch

Just brought in Sanchez for Yaya

Is there rumours he's gonna be rested?

Paully D

Bony (AVL)

Hazard
Sanchez
Van Persie
Costa

Hazard - possible injury
Sanchez - possible rotation risk
Van Persie - hot and cold, risky captaincy choice
Costa - as above

I'll probably go Sanchez with Hazard or Van Persie fighting for vice captaincy honours and let what happens, happen. Though I am so, so tempted to give it to Van Persie again! :pac:
