Gameweek 32 Captain

spock.

I will most definitely be captaining Hazard this week after seeing QPR's defending over the last few games.

G1032

Possibly Kane.
Possibly Benteke (not in the poll)

Can't see me selling Benteke this week for Remy. Benteke's form is just too good and if I've learnt anything in this debacle of a season it's to go with form over fixtures

Yeah, I forgot to add Benteke to the poll, sorry

Kane or Haz

Ziegler1988

Kane 100%

Kane. Surprised to see Hazard ahead presumably as more votes roll in it will swings Harrys way.

dahat

Kane for me also, hoping for a Harry Hatty!!

OneColdHand

Really not to sure who to go for. On the one hand, Villa look terrible at the back and have conceeded 3 in their last 2 games, so Kane makes a lot of sense. On the other hand, I read this article about Pochettino's tactics:
http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/apr/05/match-tactics-burnley-tottenham
This makes me worry about captaining Kane.

QPR look just as bad at the back as Villa, and I don't have nearly the same concerns about Chelseas tactics, so I'm leaning towards Hazard.

AdMMM

Kane or Remy I'd think.

What could swing it to Kane was a really telling quote from Tim Sherwood (that I'm paraphrasing) who said that his team aren't good enough to grind out results and instead must go all out to try and win.

Arbitrary

Spurs v Villa has all the ingredients for a high scoring game. Sherwood will no doubt want revenge against his old employers and Villa need the points. I can see him being bolder with his tactics than what we saw against united. They tried to park the bus and it failed miserably, plus they're without Hutton.

My conundrum is that I have Benteke, Erisksen and Kane. I already feel as though I've too many eggs in one basket and captaining either Benteke or Kane seems like I'm only compounding my risk.

I'm up to 7k overall and only 17 points behind the leader in my mini league.

If I play all three i'm going with Hazard, if I bench Eriksen I'm going with Kane.

Will you hold him through his blank? His last 4 fixtures are Everton (h) West Ham (h) Sunderland (a) Burnley (h). I definitely want him for those fixtures but don't know if it's worth wasting two transfers selling him and getting him back again.

No. I don't think so (at the moment anyway). I can't really afford to since I already have 5 (effectively 6 with Albrighton on the bench) missing for GW33. I haven't really properly analysed it yet though..............

Necronomicon

First easy choice in a few weeks for me, going with Kane.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

It's punt time. Most are going for Kane, so for me that means I'm going for Sanchez.

Arbitrary

I've gone off the idea of Hazard as I feel the safe bet is to captain who i think my main rival will choose. I can't afford not have it on Kane if he runs riot.

Anyone taking a punt on Coutinho?

Way too inconsistent to even be a punt option, there will be way more reliable players you could captain who your rivals wouldn't have captained either.

I think I'll be going with Giroud this weekend.

If he scores he'll equal the record for Arsenal of scoring in 7 consecutive league games and can well see him doing it in a comfortable Arsenal win.

I avoided Kane last week and will do again this week.

Other potential choices were Alexis or Hazard but I'll go Giroud.

Giroud is my VC this week. I fancy him to score again but I'm sick of vice captaining Hazard for his big scores. Hazard(c) for me
Here's hoping for a Kane blank!

I'm going Kane I believe Spurs will go for it after last week.

Id love to captain aguero he should be up top on his own sunday with silva in behind, but its very hard to ignore kane and hazard.

No love for Bentake or Austin this week then?

Going for Kane. It's a no-brainer, and I'm saying that before a ball is kicked.

Kane.

Giroud vice.

Hazard for me.

Kane vice captain

Still undecided between these two myself...

Both on penalties and against poor teams... Safe option is Kane and the majority will have him as captain but Hazard would be a big bonus if he outscored Kane...

My thoughts as well, it really is 50/50 in my book

Don't want to undo the good work done by Benteke (c) so playing safe this week... Harold (c)

OneColdHand

After yo-yoing back and forth between Kane and Hazard all week, I have it on Kane and think I'll stick with that.

I was thinking Sanchez before seeing this poll

Why the love in for Kane? Is this a real question? :pac:

I've flip flopped. Giving the armband to Hazard I think.

Yeah had it on him as well but then thought Burnley are tough to play at their home stadium. The big clubs struggle when they go to the cramped conditions on the pitch and poor facilities! Look at spurs just last week!

I'm torn 3 ways! Kane, Hazard, Aguero. Hazard is really only one on form so my head says him, my gut is stuck on Aguero and Kane who must be due a goal or 2, especially Kun . The sooner it's 11:31 the better.

They've conceeded 3 in their last 2 games, and Sherwood has said they're not good at grinding out results, so have to go for wins, menaing they will probably conceed a lot too.

Lads am I really safe with Kane (Captain)?

My last 3 picks were Agüero - Agüero - Kane for a total 6 pts return :eek: :rolleyes:... So don't have the singlest clue now...

Going Kane means it really doesn't matter what he does as his captaincy is going to be around 50% and probably a good bit higher if you are at the top end of things.

But if he blanks the other 50% will make up ground on you - be interesting to see the captain stats for this week - I have no idea where they come from

I don't fully agree. It doesn't matter as much as last GW for example when some people got over 40 pts for their captain but in a single GW it still does matter. I would have made significant ground uprankings had I picked a good captain in both GW29 & 30. Instead I stagnated and got burnt last week. My believed good overall squad saved me but I can't hope, for that every single week.

Anyway, left it on Kane because

However, Aguero has only netted three times in his last 12 top-flight appearances - with two of those goals penalties.

SlickRic

It's gotta be Kane.

Villa are a shambles at the back and Spurs need the win desperately.

I could see that ending 4-2 Spurs or something.
