don't know why Austin would have 4 times as many votes as benteke ? maybe its did to higher ownership?
anyway if benteke is fully fit it will be him.......I've stuck with aguero for a good few weeks including the last DGW ! he will therefore get a hat trick this week
He has completely trolled me this year

Benteke is definitely an interesting one this gw.

As an Austin owner i reckon i'll have to captain him

Interesting interesting interesting !
Either mata or fellaini is coming in for eriksen as I'm gonne have a bit of fun for the last few weeks.
Fellaini frees up cash to get costa in but the man love for mata is strong !

I want to go for Aguero but there's not a hope in hell I'm not going with Kane this time based on those FF Scout numbers.

Rooney (AVL)

For anyone looking for a gamble.

Rooney has scored eight goals in his last six Premier League games at Old Trafford against the Villans, netting four braces.

yes I was aware of Rooney's record against them too but it would mean selling aguero and then buying him back a week later for benteke and also selling rooey for Costa gw34! and then there is RVP coming back at some stage........still under consideration but I'll prob just captain benteke and buy either mata or Fellaini

patmac

Aguero (cpl)

Would the fact that Benteke will have played 2 games while Austin is resting up have an influence? Tough choice this week on Austin at the moment but may change.

Ziegler1988

Rooney (AVL)

After looking at Triggerlips' poll, I'm suddenly getting very scared of not owning Austin. His is usually closer to the actual top 10k figures than FFS.

Arbitrary

Austin (wba + avl)

I'm holding off on my vote until the end of the week.

I have it defaulted on Bentke but this when it was looking like he wouldn't go on international duty. I want to captain Benteke but it seems like too big a risk.

My main rival is likely to captain Austin. I can't see Austin getting too much joy against WBA at home. I do worry the Villa game could be a goal fest though. But that all depends on how Sherwood approaches the game. QPR have to go out and try win the game.

If I was to put myself Sherwood's shoes for a moment, a point looks like a good result on paper with Burnley, Leicester and QPR with tough enough fixtures where you'd imagine it's unlikely they'll come away with 3 points. Planning for a draw looks like a decent prospect. I can see them setting up defensively and trying to catch QPR on the break.

If not Benteke it's between Kane and Aguero, with a mild penchant for Silva.

One way or another it's going to make or break me whoever I decide because my rival is going with Austin. I've made my bed bringing in Benteke and I'm not switching back to Austin at this stage for a -4. If I had Austin I'd be more confident of giving him the arm band over Benteke, due to all the travel and games he'll have played.

Aguero (cpl)

As I have been saying for many weeks without always following through on ... Always Captain Kane ! last minute change to Aguero last week may finally teach me a lesson ...

Nichololas

Aguero (cpl)

Mmm, QPR have a **** away (and home) record, but they've managed to score in all of their 6 most recent away games, albeit only 2 of those came from Austin. Additionally, Austin put 2 past Villa and 3 past West Brom in the home fixture ..

makes u think

Benteke

Costa (STO)

I'm going to go with Costa instead. Hazard vc

Very few have Rooney. I'd captain him if I had him.

I'd imagine Rooney isn't highly owned by players here and getting him in probably means selling Aguero.

That's certainly not something I'd consider personally given Rooneys following 3 fixtures.

Even without Rooney I am struggling to see the appeal of Kane away to a tough Burnley side.

Kane has a ridiculously good away record (only blanked at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge as a starter) and great form. He's my VC this GW

Have Austin was thinkin of swapping him for giroud I know Austin has 2 games but I honestly don't think he's gonna get more than kane or costa.
What do u lot think?

I have Kane, Costa and Aguero and am happy to stick with all three over the DGW lads.

I say that as someone who had two transfers.

madness to sell austin. I can see why people arent getting in DGW strikers but if you already have them you shouldnt be getting rid of them.

Artfu1Dodger

Gonna captain Austin. Two hatricks please Charlie.

Have Austin in squad but handing the armband to Arry.

Captaining Chaz Austin!

2nd Row Donkey

Kane bagged a hatrick following his call up to the senior squad and then he goes and scores on his debut...
I have Austin and Costa but the armband stays firmly on Harry Kane all the way!!!

Aguero (cpl)

I've gone Austin. Looks like it should be a bit of a differential! If Kane comes in again I'll freak the f out! He can't he just can't!

Costa (STO)

Anybody else captaining Hazard?

theRB

Siggy (HUL)

Double gameweek including the best fixture in the game for a man who scored 12+ points in 2 of the last 3 weeks. Benteke is the percentage play.

NabyLadistheman

Costa (STO)

Thinking Hazard but Aguero on Monday night football could be a savage play... Tough call this week. Usually take the percentage call, will be Kane of I do this week

Siggy (HUL)

aguero surely wont blank again?! could do with a 3 sided coin for this one, between austin kane and aguero!

Arbitrary

Austin (wba + avl)

I think it's time to take a risk and gamble. I'm comfortably ahead of the rest of the crowd, if it works out I can make up some ground, if not I seal my fate to finish 2nd place. Poetry in motion.

Do me proud Benteke.

larchielads

I've got costa kane Austin will Austin really out score any of those 2 with 2 games?

Aguero (cpl)

My vote for Austin brought him up to 26 votes vs Kane's 26 votes.

Going with a maverick pick in Defoe. I feel the Tyne-Wear Derby will be a high-scoring affair.

I kept saying that every week after I took him out.

Kane (bur)

Couldn't sit easy in my mind with the Aguero choice, ive switched to Benteke.

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Kane (bur)

I've gone Aguero, I'm winning two of my money leagues but 29 pts behind in my main one so I figured I'd take the risk on Sergio to catch up.

Sure who can say. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them outscored him but who knows which one!

Hmm..the doubts about Costa starting are making me reconsider.

Gonna leave it on Austin anyway.

I have Kane, Giroud, Hazard, Mata & Austin.
Would Austin realistically get more points than others even with 2 games? Both QPR games away also.

Have it on Hazard but this poll is making ne think twice

Austin is a no brainer if you have him as is Benteke.

Hazard is 'tired' apparently after playing for Belgium. He will start though.
I'd captain Austin if I were you.

Impossible to predict, QPR are fighting to stay in the league this stage of the season can throw up some strange results. Chelsea are fairly comfortable at the top. Nothing wrong with Hazard as an option imho. He's on fire atm and they'll want to do the business today.

I honestly don't think there's any clear cut choice this week with the exception of perhaps Kane.
