Join me in the Mahrez captain club! We're similarly placed in the rankings so it'll be fun.

Alli for me.

Alli, all the others have too high a ceiling to bench

Exact same situation re captaincy. On Kun atm. All 3 could potentially explode. I'm questioning if simply having Kun will be enough, and trying to spread the risk by captaining one of the other two. I've put so much faith into him and I would go crazy if he explodes and is not my captain. Plus there is the question of gametime/ injury. But I think city could win 4 or 5 nil tomorrow, and my gut says kun

He's definitely had a few too many. Home to Sunderland isn't the time to drop him... Unless Pellegrini benches him and just brings him on for the last 5 mins.
Feck... Now I'm worried, that's actually very possible

He was dropped 2 games ago to Swansea, should be safe for tomorrow.

Anyhow....

Butland
Alderweireld, Dawson, Bellerin
Ozil, Mahrez (VC), Walcott, KDB
Vardy, Lukaku, Kane (C)
(Hennessey, Barkley, Kolarov, Simpson)

Can't really bench anyone over Barkley

DarraghF197

All aboard the Kompany train which I missed earlier on!

Myhill
Bellerin Kompany Souare
Mahrez Özil Coutinho Ramsey (C for now)
Kane Ighalo Vardy

Moreno for me too.

Coutinho

Nalz

De Gea
Dier Kolorov Dann
Willian Ozil Mahrez Ayew
Aguero Giroud Vardy

McCarthy, Alli, Moreno, Williams

My question is do I start Ayew, Williams or Alli?

Bleating Lamb

Given his recent form would it be daft to bench Vardy?

Would be replacing him with a midfield of KDB, Alli, Ozil, Mahrez and Barkley.

Am prob captaining Lukaku.


Would benching Barkley or Ozil make more sense?

Thanks for any replies.

Ighalo on current form.

I'd go Alli every time, Norwich are one of those teams that once you break them down they have the potential to fall apart, could see Spurs get 4 or 5.

Gaillimh1976

Butland

Evans/Alder/Francis

Ozil/Mahrez/KdB/Barkley

Lukaku/Kane/Kun (c)


Rudd/Alli/Cedric/Simpson

Persistent heavy rain across the north of England today.

Postponements probably unlikely but could impact on playing conditions at the likes of Anfield or the Ethiad.....

El Horseboxo

Need to bench one from Moreno, Rose, Ward and Azpi.

Was thinking of starting Ward and benching Moreno. But Ward is the only player away from home.

Any suggestions?

shano_88

Gonna punt AOA i think.

Lloris
Sagna Darmian
Ramsey Ozil Ali De Bruyne Mahrez
Vardy Lukaku Kane (C)


I benched Ali last week and paid the price. At home to Norwich he could do some damage again.

MarkSRFC21

Ddg
Bellerin - Kolarov - Evans
Kdb- mahrez - ozil - Henderson- Alli
Vardy- lukaku- kun

Who do I drop out of my front 8. I'm reluctant to drop Alli as he's my only Spurs cover. Considering vardy or Henderson. Going by ownership I should probably drop hendo, but what's the point in having differentials like him if you're gonna bench them?

Hmm, the armband is on Lukaku who is at Newcastle.....

km79

kolarov is going to be rested for this game isn't he.......if he is its time to say goodbye

FHFC

Reading through Dinnery's twitter feed and he expects Bolasie to be out for the Xmas games.

Also there have been rumours of Ozil being out, not from BD but he did confirm Ozil has had a chest infection recently.

Oh shoot. Reconsidering Mahrez as captain choice now.

Does Kompany definitely start?

He wasn't pictured in training yesterday: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20151225/pictures-arsenal-train-on-christmas-day

His Instagram is conflicting

He won't be fully match fit.but they're so desperate without him my guess would be he'll start.

lougal88

With Ozil a doubt and Stanislas also flagged I need a 5th mid under 6m.

Alli or Zaha?

Not that would suit me with Ali to drop in...

My main cash league resets in score this Gameweek so was able to take mulfiple hits as a league cannot start on a negative score. My OR will suffer but that's at 800k so it's ****ed anyway.

I have Barkley as first sub so it's grand. He can have his rest. He seems to be having a grand auld time sunning himself so the chest infection can't be too bad!

Mr.Prodston

How does a late -4 switcheroo of the following sound?

Hazard -> Theo
Giroud -> Aguero (c)

Yippee ki-yay....

Sounds like a plan!

Granted, I'm playing Giroud. He has a DISMAL Stephen's Day record but feck it. This is the year he'll turn it around!

Changing my mind now on AOA for fear of rotation and Ozil a possible doubt.

shano_88

Who do ye bench between Vardy and Alli?

It could be madness benching Vardy seen as though he has been so consistent but im leaning towards him...
