Ozil, Newcastle playing a reserve keeper

Voted Ozil but considering Walcott. Think he got a few v Newcastle before.

sheroman01

So bloody difficult this week. A lot of prime candidates. It can only end in heartbreak. After 2 good scores and green arrows, down to captain successes, really want to make sure I get this right. Have it on Mahrez (c), Vardy (vc) now. Ozil, Lukaku and Kane there too.

Surprised Mahrez isnt getting more love here.

Teams are starting to bully him now, usually two or three defenders on him when he gets the ball

COH

Walcott

Ozil but would like to put it on Theo. Thought that this week too though glad I didn't!

Well considering his last two games were away in Anfield and then home to City, they are not easy games.

The three weeks before that he scored double figures. There is a greater risk around Mahrez than Ozil I suppose.

Is the Newcastle game televised? :pac:

Arbitrary

Mahrez does most of his scoring on the road whereas Ozil does the the business home and away. Lukaku or Kane both seem like good picks on paper but in their last 2 H2H fixtures there's only been 1 goal scored. It could be 0-0 or a 3-2 game. I'm at a complete to even try make a prediction on this fixture.

By process of elimination I'm going with Ozil.

Mr.Prodston

Look it has to be Theo. He could have had a hat full last time out.

It'll end in tears I'm sure but it might just be the salty tears of joy as he relives 3 years ago.

My sentiments exactly....

IsMiseMyself

Ozil. If I had Theo or Giroud it'd be on one of them, though Ozil will likely be at the center of everything.

Need to stop that voice telling me to captain Theo. It'll only end in tears. Or will it?

I can't stop thinking about that 7-3 a few years back

the groutch

I wouldn't say no to that again, 7 assists would give a decent score for a captain.

Setanta are showing United v Swansea at the same time so I don't think so

I'll never forget that one. Had him captain. Everything he touched that night was a goal. Very tempted to get him in for Henderson.

Dempsey

Ozil at the moment but pondering about Mahrez

sheroman01

Hmmm, very little love for Vardy. Could actually be a nice captain differential!!

MonkstownHoop

Giroud!

Captaining whoever is the poll leader

Are we worried about Arsenal rotation?

Wenger

Certainly we will rotate again. Everybody else in the squad against Bournemouth should be available.

FFS have Walcott on the bench!

Lemlin

If I had the balls to I'd pick Walcott again but I'm back to going with the FFS poll.

It's hard to comprehend how Walcott didn't score the other evening.

FrClintPower

Ozil (c), Kane (vc) for me.

greedygoblin

Ozil (c), Mahrez (vc).

Ozil running away with it this week.

Aguero again for the third week in a row.

Snip.

Don't post ways of accessing games you normally can't.

siblers

I should really do Ozil but that ****er Giroud had quite a few chances against Bournemouth so I may stick with him again. Could do Mahrez too but I think fatigue has caught up with him in recent performances.

Benimar

Ozil. No doubt in my mind so no last minute change of heart this time (not that it worked out too badly on Monday)

Lights On

Ozil or Giroud. Though the devil on my shoulder is telling me to take another punt on Kun

They are live on tv somewhere in the world;)

I'm sticking with Ozil as captain.He's been involved in all things attacking wise with Arsenal.

FFS don't have any more information than we do. The Guardian has Walcott in their starting lineup, FWIW.

Ozil. Playing safe this week though would love another punt on Theo.

What % would u put on Walcott starting. Im thinking he has to start as bar giroud there isn't any other consistent goal threat available to them. Ox and Campbell in the wide positions wouldnt be great.

I'd be 95% positive he will start, can't see how Wenger could afford not to start him. Ox hasn't scored a league goal in something like 15 months and Campbell, while a hard worker, doesn't offer the kind of threat Theo is capable of. I'm sure Wenger will be mindful too that he needs to build up his sharpness ahead of the tricky games coming up.

That's what I'm thinking he is as close as they have to sanchez in regard to goal threat.
