    VERY tough choice this week
    and one has the early game and the other than Monday night
    so could be a long wait for a lot of people depending on how aguero does sat morning !

    Aguero could do serious damage against Stoke if he gets the game time but Kane on a Monday night looks the safer option. So probably Kane.

    Kane, have no confidence in Aguero starting due to how sh*te Stoke are.

    Kane. Might even triple captain depending on how West Brom look tonight.

    "A third brace in five appearances suggests the Spurs striker looks a very viable armband candidate to Aguero this weekend. As the recent 3-0 home win over United showed, though, whenever the armband looks tattooed the Spurs striker, he finds a way of sinking into a background role and letting Tottenham’s supporting cast win the day – indeed, Kane has blanked in three of his last five at the Lane, including failures against Watford and Swansea."

    Hmm...

    Voted for Kane, but only because I'm concerned about Aguero's gametime. Stoke were awful against Spurs.

    What about Sturridge against Newcastle???

    Major differential / potential disaster

    Sanchez. An incredibly streaky player and he's on a great run.

    Continuing in my wild swings with me way back on my money league. Martial disaster last time maybe Sturridge will do a good one for me.

    I'm going with sanchez, maybe kane if I get nervous.
    I'd imagine Liverpool are thinking of the europa league at this stage or could they still get a euro place from the PL?

    Got to be Kane. He'll play the full game. If City are ahead and looking comfortable he'll take off Aguero, Champ League semi final around the corner

    I have it on Aguero atm but thinking Mahrez might be worth a shot against a Swansea side with one eye on next season.

    Kane and Sturridge are both differentails for me so going to captain Aguero as both my rivals will likely go that route.

    Kane because the league leader has told me he finally brought in Aguero so he'll probably captain him. Expected points for Kane is greater than Aguero imo as well.

    Got Kane for first time this season and will give him the armband. Although Sanchez shone for me this week I have a bit of respect for Sunderland's defence lately and Aguero's minutes could be curtailed. Don't want to admit it but Iroced's MNF analysis did come to mind in making this decision and if It works I'll probably do the same next week too.

    Newcastle have a 16-4 overall away score for the last 6 games.

    I hate Liverpool for the rotation they pulled last week, but with Benteke, Ings and Origi injured, Sturridge will have to play the full 90, won't he?!

    He's scored 4 in his last 5 appearances...

    Ahhhh! I hate this game and the fact the two times I Captained Kane he returned 4 points!!!

    F*ck it anyway.

    It's on Sturridge with Kane vc.

    There's the option of Firmino at false 9 and Sturridge benched

    Winning the EL is their best chance of CL next season.
    I'd imagine that's their priority now.

    West Bron have only conceded more than two four times this season. I expect Pulis to shut up shop so I'm going with Aguero.

    Edit: gone back to Kane. Rival has him and no Aguero. I've an 80 point lead for €500 so no point taking chances.

    Aguero. For the reasons you gave originally.

    Its Pulis. Spurs will be happy to win 1-0.

    Can see more goals in City game and Aguero will start and come off early.

    (BTW In you league position I'd still go with your gut. You've covered Kanes score. If he gets 20 captain pts thats the max you lose, less Agueros score x 2 as the other lad doesn't even own him.)

    Yeah but it's really Aguero x 2 v Kane + whatever other striker his rival has gets

    I'm so dumb. I've only just realised that City are home, not away. I thought it was at the Britannia - er, I mean, the bet365 - and I had it on Kane. Now I'm not sure what to do.

    So that's clearly not true. They scored 6 alone in the two 4-3 games at Anfield in the league in 96 & 97

    Then there was the 2-2 game in 2002, the comeback liverpool had on the last day of the season in 2014 when trying for the title after being 1 down. Danny Agger scored an own goal around 2010 or so and I'm sure there's been other times they've scored there in the league, certainly in the double figures at the very least

    Stupid SSN telling me lies earlier..:mad:.....Anyhow the point is that they don't win there and concede a lot.
