    Thinking of going with Rooney again. United tend to score goals against Villa.

    Tough choice this week.

    A bit early to say.
    It's on Tekkers at the moment but I'll see how he gets on today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Thinking of Rooney to as Villa usually capitulate to Man U. However if Aguero gets 60 minutes tomorrow I might be tempted. Chelsea aren't right at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,255 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    Ask me next weekend! Very early for this.

    On Benteke at the moment but will see. Rooney also a candidate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47 TheDazzler


    Benteke (c), Mane (vc).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Sticking with the plan and going Kane!!

    Benteke for me, but it all depends how Liverpool play today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    This is why I have Kane, although I'm not filled with confidence after yesterday. Sakho vc, not filled with confidence either. Rooney the other option - not filled with confidence either either.

    I think you need to work on your confidence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,886 ✭✭✭stephenl15


    Probably going with Rooney once again myself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,826 ✭✭✭Mr. Guappa


    My realistic options are Rooney, Benteke, Mané, Sakho. Leaning toward Rooney at the moment.

    Pelle or Rooney for me at the moment . As an Everton fan we are weaker at the back than Gary Glitter. Simply can't keep clean sheets


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,912 ✭✭✭kilburn


    Classy !

    Rooney for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,579 ✭✭✭prettyboy81


    Coutinho for me next week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,101 ✭✭✭Antibac


    Rooney for me I think


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    No Mane option? ;)
    Really tempted to captain him after seeing him today.

    No chance for me. Gotta be sensible/boring with the captain choices at this early stage imo although I do own him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Probably benteke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭greedygoblin


    Had it on Rooney for GW1 and I think I'm going to leave it with him. United though created very little up front against Spurs. The service to Rooney wasn't great and that is a worry.

    Not even considered him for captain owning Kane, Roo & Sahko but he probably should be on the list though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Kane

    Rooney atm but I'm not sure I could handle the 3 day wait to see if he was the right choice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,598 ✭✭✭MarkSRFC21


    Was thinking Kane also but Stoke looked solid enough at the back today, and Spurs were very poor vs United on sat.

    Benteke


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,788 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Two things persuading me NOT to captain Rooney, one logical and one psychological.

    Logical - he hasn't scored away to Villa since 2007

    Psychological - after the disaster of GW1 I don't want GW2 to be ruined before Saturday with a captain fail!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19 Brainiac2000


    Nobodys considering Mahrez after his 15 point display in GW1, add to that the fact that he has west ham next week?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,946 ✭✭✭✭CSF

    Didn't you watch West Ham yesterday? Given we are going on GW1 form they're not a plum opposition fixture.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,011 ✭✭✭Tugboats


    Sticking with Kane


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,872 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Likely be Benteke as I don't have Kane.

    Choosing Rooney for a friday night game doesn't sit well with me, a long 3 days if fails to rack up a score.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Honestly can't decide between Benteke, Rooney and Kane. Have Benteke at the moment, but am likely to change it before the weekend.

    If aguero comes through a decent number of minutes tonight i may just put armband on him and leave it there for the forseeable.

    In all the captain disaster analysis last year i think in most cases those of us who checked it found we'd have been as well off, if not significantly better off, leaving the armband on one heavy hitter rather than chopping and changing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Kane or Benteke for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 353 ✭✭gazump123


    Think I'll go with Kane this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41 Ocditsme


    Tekkers . Triple points captain
    Time to take the plunge


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    I picked Kane to captain him this GW and will stick to it. Rooney VC

    Definitely time.
    Liverpool scoring for fun, Tekkers unstoppable, every other big hitter has had their leg amputated and only 37 gw's to go.

    Don't. Do it on a double game week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 106 ✭✭SSLguru


    Aguero ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭internet_user


    Kane or Rooney


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,011 ✭✭✭Tugboats


    4 people in my 15 man paid league used the triple captain already:confused: Am i missing something or is there a method to this madness?

    Missing nothing its just madness. Its like in a race when you get a few lads who go sprinting off just so they can say they were winning for a while then end up coming last!

    Why?

    i think he will start, and possibly at CF. the theory is that wenger prefers the pace of him on the road for counter attacks.

    I saw it all right, looked fairly beatable to me..

    It's possible, but Sanchez will be knocking at the door too.

    Who has replaced PARlance with Deluded Brendan?

    Fair enough, wouldn't be expecting West Ham to lose myself.

    Either would I but more importantly I don't see Mahrez getting next nor near 15 points. Wouldn't captain him in a million years.

    I'm trying to channel my delusion into comments rather than team selection this year.

    Deluded Brendan & Boring Milner look like they could give us some entertainment this year on twitter.

    Can see that happening a bit and it might be worth keeping him for another week on that basis but captaining him is a bold move at best.

    If I thought he would avoid a drop, and his replacement avoid a rise, then I would consider a final throw of the dice.
