    Can't see past Kun, City's record against Newcastle is unreal past few seasons and he has a point to prove. (C) for next 2 GW

    If we knew there weren't going to be any dgws it would be a good week but worth keeping for Jan/Feb.

    Not so sure. Even in that situation I'd rather wait for a situation where he's already in form with a good home fixture.

    Even then his expectation isn't as high as a reasonable dgw for any of the heavy hitters.

    Oh yeah, I'm all about the DGW for using it too. I just meant that if even if there were no DGWs I still wouldn't think it'd be the number 1 week for it. Until he starts off, I'll be treading nervously in spite of my definite captaining of Aguero for the next 2 weeks.

    Oh I see yeh I agree you would definitely want to be looking for a form + fixture spot ideally.

    There will definetly be dgws unless both carling cup finalists are from outside the premier league and the last 8 in the fa cup are from outside the premier league. It's crazy to use the triple captain in anything but a dgw. It could work out for you but it's still crazy.

    Agreed. Just a crazy hypothetical.

    Yeh the point being made was that it would only be an acceptable week if we some how knew there were none not that we are assuming there won't be. Using it for a regular week just seems like a waste.

    Like many, not sure whether to give Kun the armband. cautious by nature, its more the fear of not having him as captain thats influencing me. its either him or KDB.

    Front three are

    Aguero , Gomis and Pelle.

    Gomis at considerable risk of been dropped and even if he plays I don't fancy him to score particularly well.

    Pelle is away to Chelsea and the stats show he gets the vast majority of his points/goals in home games.

    ... so it with a heavy heart and sum reluctance that I put the (C) on Kun.

    Wasn't it last week he was playing Spurs where everyone mentioned it?

    I might give him another go, but if he blanks against Newcastle he's gone.

    If we're going by last year we should all be taking a hit for Tadic! Those were good times!!

    There are a lot of players out there without Aguero in the team at all. A big day today from him could see a huge rise in rankings for the captaining ones.
