Gameweek 17 Captain

spock.

Lukaku most likely.

Edit: oops poll not working...can a mod fix that?

DarraghF197

Ramsey triple captain.

Ziegler1988

Mahrez (eve)

Lukaku(c) Mahrez(vc)

Aenaes

Vardy (eve)

I have it on Vardy at the moment. Even Norwich managed to score against Everton last week. I'm expecting Leicester to score a few.

Rikand

Kane (sou)

One of the Vardez brothers

Marje

Will leave it the same as week 16 - Lukaku as captain, Vardy as vice.

mectavba

I put other....Wijnaldum at home to Villa. As a Villa fan, I think a good strategy is to captain someone off the opposing team each week. There surely will be huge rewards!

I may bottle it later in the week and revert to Lukaku.

Surprised Wijnaldum wasn't at least an option on the poll.

alchemist33

Vardy (eve)

I'm putting it on this season's best player - Mahrez. Should have done it last week like my gut told me to do.

Inspector Coptoor

Vardy (eve)

On Mahrez for now.
Have Vardy and Lukaku now as well.

Up to 9 of the 11 dream team players so it's hard to pick a captain so going on form and Mahrez it is as he is playing so well and Everton have maybe 1 clean sheet in 6

After last year's fixture, I'm going with Aguero, KDB vice...

Yeah, wishful thinking but I'm so far behind, I may as well...

Will he start? mad risk

Barkley over Lukaku anyone?

Terrontress

KDB (ars)

I'm considering Özil. Monday night captains have been treating me well.

I honestly don't know yet but I'll be keeping an eye on the run up to Saturday morning.
Here's hoping...

SlickRic

it's about time I had the balls to go Mahrez.

it'll be him or Lukaku I think.

Bolasie most likely. Barkley has very low penalty box touches and is now off set pieces with Baines back. I count myself fortunate to have got his two hauls

SantryRed

Lukaku for me.

lougal88

Wijnaldum. Villa are muck

Not seeing an obvious candidate this week so might look at a defender that I think will keep a clean sheet.

Really?
Not one of Mahrez, Lukaku, Vardy or Ighalo Come to mind?

I've been making a fair balls of it all season re captains so maybe best not to take my advice.

I have the first 3 players you've mentioned and you are probably right. I just think Leicester will setup not to lose so maybe I should look at one of Vardez.

A brave man picks a defender as captain.

I've just brought him in with his 3 Home games over Xmas coming up

AidySevenfold

I'm thinking Gigi Wijnaldum but still have 1 FT to use. May take in Lukaku and make him captain but will decide on Friday..

That's often misquoted the full quote was "fortune favours the brave but one shall never captain a defender or buy one for a hit if thy has a defender to play or can use ones AOA chip" it's actually a great shout by them about the chip don't think anyone saw that coming.

Other than Kolarov I think it's hard to put a proper case forward for a defender this season too much craziness!

MarkSRFC21

Toss up between lukaku and mahrez. Leaning towards mahrez, who's riskier but more explosive

Dempsey

Mahrez (eve)

My captain choices have generally been a failure this season. I've brought in Lukaku (finally) and he's captain. You've all been warned! :P

Benimar

Snap!

Went with Ighalo (vc). Mahrez is probably a better shout but avoided him in case something mad happens and the Everton game gets called off leaving me with no captain or vice captain!

siblers

I'm going with Mahrez, my captain choices have been terrible, I expect this to continue tomorrow.

Yeah, I realized that too so switched to Ozil VC instead of Mahrez

8-10

Martial for me. Amazingly no United player in the poll. Really fancy them to stuff Norwich at home

Citizenpain

Wijnaldum

Will probably chicken out in the morning though

Scorpion Sting

Ighalo (LIV)

I'm captaining Kane, got a good feeling about him this week.

Mr.Prodston

It's the first time I'm thinking about actually captaining Mahrez. So ye've been warned

Otherwise Big Rom.

My front 7 don't have any easy games.

Usually the captain jumps off the page, like a home game against a team in the bottom quarter, but not this week.

I can't see West Brom conceding so that's the only reason I thought of a defender as captain.

Vardy is the only alternative to a defender for my team this week.

Chesty08

Moved from Barkley (originally over Luksku) to Ramsey... Can see a few low scoring games tomorrow & and absolute goal fest on MNF

I think the main thing to take away from this season so far is that there is no easy 'fixture'. Best to go with players in form rather than players with good fixtures. And United aren't exactly firing on all cylinders.

Stay strong, I'm with you.

prettyboy81

I've gone with Bojan risky but why not!

Mahrez (eve)

MNF (C)s are again taunting me but Lukaku's so far ahead in the polls...

First Explorer

Kane (sou)

I've had it on Lukaku the last couple weeks and it's been good, but thinking of Mahrez this week, if Leicester score he's likely to be involved. How's Leicester's away form? Mahrez (c) for now.

spock.

Well they've won their last 3 away matches with Mahrez scoring 5 goals and getting 1 assist

Cartman78

Mahrez (eve)

Caught in a captain love triangle between Mahrez, KDB and Lukaku.

The last time I captained Mahrez he was benched....allowing me to get max points for vice captain Aguero's famous five goal haul :-D

FourFourRED

Lukaku (LEI)

Diego Costa. Get on it!

SlickRic

Coutinho.

I'm not one for captain punts, but I can't shake the gut feeling.

spock.

Mahrez (eve)

Switched it from Lukaku to Mahrez.
