GW1 Captain

Ziegler1988

Probably some will want to hear more about Costa's fitness, but I'll get the ball rolling anyway. Hazard 100% for me, Theo VC

CSF

Ramsey (WHU)

Yeah, this is almost a secondary decision for me right now given my decisions on who to go with full stop.

With that said, I think Costa, Hazard, Walcott will top any poll so I can see me making sure I've at least 1 of these guys to ensure I've a good captain option.

Giroud (WHU)

Costa for me. Giroud or Ozil vice

FHFC

Kane (mun)

Probably Costa

Costa (SWA)

Hazard. Going on hols soon and can't be doing with the roaming charges checking on Costa's fitness

Paully D

Costa (SWA)

I'd love to go with Walcott but I'm going to play it safe and go with Hazard.

Scorpion Sting

Costa (SWA)

I'm going with a safe option to start the season, so it'll be Hazard captain.

spock.

Costa (SWA)

Hazard, no question

Paddy Dreadful

Kane (mun)

I think depay could be worth a shout, he seems wallcottesque in that hes more a striker than a midfielder

jimmii

Costa (SWA)

Hazard. Not even considered anyone else.

CSF

Ramsey (WHU)

No Aguero option?

MarkSRFC21

Costa (SWA)

Not playing catch up early on. Hazard all the way.

the incredible pudding

I'm currently without Hazard but might get him in just so i can captain him first week (I don't think Fabregas is a good captaincy option for some reason, despite his potential to get a couple of assists....)

2nd Row Donkey

Kane.

I think it will take a couple of weeks for united to get into their stride.

GW1 is a bit like GW38 in that it throws up bizarre scores. Not saying Spurs will win at OT but I could see a 2-2 draw or something like that.

Using my triple captain chip on Lukaku - get the season off to a bang.

Seriously though, Hazard.

Don't even joke about that you'll give people ideas!!

Was going with Costa but unless Jose says he will definitely start, I'll have to go with Hazard. Only problem is, I didn't intend picking Hazard in my 15

There might be a chip for that:pac:

Seriously, I haven't got a clue, but I'm fairly sure it will be a striker rather than a midfielder when the world is my oyster like this.

Hazard, so boring.

Don't really want him in my team but I'm being forced by massive ownership % to have and captain him.

Go with your gut then. First few months of the season are the best time to take some risks to get ahead. I went without Costa from Oct to Jan and benefited, captained Siggy GW3, etc.

Ramsey (WHU)

Walcott at the minute

Having Fabregas instead gives me more options tbh. I wanted to try the Fab gamble till early WC, easy correct then.

Tempted by that too. But if Costa is cleared fit i think he'll definitely play, esp given how useless both his standins were yesterday.

Mr.Prodston

Um where's the PVA option? :mad:

Lukaku

Going to take a punt on Walcott even if its a risk. I fancy Arsenal to score a few.

No Benteke love here!?!

wasnt gonna bother with having hazard at all but i am such a sheep and now have him captain!

Away to Stoke on his debut for a new club would be a huge call.

Rooney virtually level with Hazard on the FF Scout poll.

He has a cracking record v Spurs while Hazard has a very poor record v Swansea..

Not in the least bit surprised it's level

Getting itchy finger to take out Costa (who i currently have it on) for Rooney - before Aguero comes in straight after. Ugggggh. Have a feeling Spurs are there for the taking this weekend. Their first XI has looked far from settled pre-season, and they had that latest friendly fiasco where they only flew home Thursday afternoon ahead of this early Saturday kick-off. Taking out Costa will leave me with no Chelsea coverage though. Have Depay already from United

Nom De Guerre

Hazard (SWA)

Rooney or Lukaku

Can't decide

Taking a punt on Walcott

Was tempted by Rooney or Lukaku but Arsenal usually start season well

spock.

Costa (SWA)

Aguero....

You guys seem very sure about Hazard. Y'all might as well play your Triple Captain chip

He's a 6 point captain not a 12 point captain got to save that one for the big weeks!

I'm just sticking with the FFS poll which Rooney now leads.

hazzard seems like a bit of a sheep choice. I dont think swansea will give up much, chelsea probably score one goal. Swansea could get something from this game.

walcott bit risky about the start and even if he does could be pulled after 70 mins for giroud. though west ham are a bit of a mess so could be hit for 3/4 goals in this match i think good shout for an assist or goal even if from the bench.

rooney is a solid enough pick for captain considering there is doubts about other strikers like lua and benny but he is a bit flakey i reckon its more likely he draws a blank.

The person i am going to captain is Defoe. I expect Leicesters defence to be ****e under raneiri so defoe will get a few poachers chances. I expect a brace and the 3 bonus minimum from the little assassin thats a tidy haul of 26 points while ye all crying about hazzard 4 point game. :-0

spock.

.... are these rumours about United starting with their 4th choice keeper true?

Was about to ditch Kane as spurs were muck mid week and their preparations have been a mess with the travelling etc
