    Very interesting. I think this could be another week like GW8 though and KdB could go mad on Norwich.

    I've a fairly simple approach to captaincy. Captain whoever you think will score you the most points each week. I think I'll be going with kdb this week.

    Haha I think we all do that!!! I'm sure you've a similarly logical process you're applying like the rest of us to make the decision on who you think will score the most points though.

    I've settled on KDB in the end, by a process of elimination.

    Of my front 7 I'm ruling out Mahrez and Vardy (away to Pulisball), Payet (steady points-getter but away to Watford) and Pelle (can't be trusted with the armband), which leaves me with Bony, KDB and Sanchez.

    For Bony and Sanchez I'd have some concerns over their game time, more in Bony's case than Sanchez in fairness. And then City are at home while Arsenal are away.

    So KDB it is.

    Same here (don't have Sanchez in my team though).

    Gone with KDB in the end too after much mulling over Pelle and Bony - hoping he can ping a couple in and maybe lay on one of two for Bony

    Bony or Lukaku.
    Mane is enough of a differential as is.
    Sunderland's injuries in defence is tempting but will probably give the armband to Bony.

    Going with KdB but a little voice in the back of my head keeps nagging "Kane, Villa, you know it makes sense"

    Kane or pelle, my worry is with Tim gone from villa could they up their game for the new manager

    Gone with KDB. Probably backfire

    An unusually sensible option from you:p, nobody will even need to ask you the question.

    Villa don't really have a new manager to impress, if they are gonna turn it on for KMc when they wouldn't for Tim then they are worse professionals than I even gave them credit for.

    I've gone and brought in Lukaku and handed him the armband, after tomorrow he'll be all I have left so I might as well knock a bit of craic out of Sunday.

    Have KDB as vc, Pelle has always let me down as captain. Queue him to score 5 this wkend! Went for Bony as captain.

    had it on buib but just can't bring myself to captain him now. de breuyne it is

    I had planned on bringing in van djik but brought in kolarov purely as most of the top teams in money league have him
    brought in kdb for yaya for samd reason
    I've had captaincy on BUIB all week and feel like if I take it off him for kdb now then I'm no longer playing my own game and worrying too much about others !
    it's tougher at the top than chasing !

    the thing about Pelle tho is he seems to have this habit of producing the goods when you least expect it, and failing to produce when you do!

    oh I know........I had him VERY briefly last year (maybe only one week) and he was a captain fail ......and again 2 weeks ago........and yet here I am again :D

    I don't think playing for the manager was ever the problem. Have a look at some of Sherwood's team lineups. Bizarre. The blame having gone to the players rather than the manager is just one of those typical English manager gets sacked he must have been harshly treated things.

    Villa have some good players and will probably improve if managed better. Not sure McDonald will have been able to get a team out of them by Monday though. Rome in a day and all that so Kane is still a good option.

    Bony me thinks!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Is Sterling at all doubtful? Would it be madness to consider him over KDB?

    LUEB. :pac:

    He could get a HT or do nothing. For me he's as unreliable as Pelle and Lukaku but maybe a slight cut above them.

    Have been considering him. Word is he's fit. No silva and will imo probably play through the middle off Bony if not out and out up front in a 442. KdB will be trying to supply his pace.

    Went with KdB in the end and hour ago.

    Yet here i am looking at my team again. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,257 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Other
    I've got De Bruyne, Sanchez, Vardy, Peile and I spent too long thinking about it this morning and ended up transferring out Diego Costa and bringing in Lukaku and putting the armband on him.

    My gut was just screaming at me to do it. I just have a really strong feeling that Lukaku is going to have a big day.

    Still it's a bad idea to be thinking about this stuff coming up to the deadline, I've made mistakes at this time of the day before.
