    This will likely be as close to 100% in a poll as you may come across.

    Just as an experimental measure I'd like to start a league with these people. Kind of the early wildcarders/late wildcarders argument, except lets put like a 50 euro buyin on it to make it more excited.

    Naturally I'm the only person allowed join up from the Aguero side.

    No but would you really consider him a legitimate Gameweek 1 Captain candidate?

    Not a hope he features. Hadn't ran a yard let alone kicked a ball since the final.

    I considered Agureo Gameweek 1 Captain last season and look how that turned out.

    Eh, why the fcuk would you have seriously considered him as captain when MP had effectively said he would start on the bench.
    His 25 minute one point cameo means absolutely nothing in terms of next weekends expectation.

    I think so too. Vardy to score at least one against a team with no manager.

    Redmond?

    If he's the new Mahrez then perhaps he'll start with a bang.

    Opening day offers an early role of the dice but obviously Aguero is the natural choice.

    Obviously nobody in their right mind would pick a Leicester player as the early Saturday match. They just never score well....

    Getting it out of the way early :P

    Well, I tracked it up to GW36.

    Excluding DGW34 where the DGWs "obvious" captains (Aguero 26, Sanchez 25) outscored the MNF picks (though they did very very well (Alli 15, Kane 13, Eriksen 10)), the count was as follow:

    | better | same | worse
    MNF (C) vs FSA Obvious (C) | 7 | 4 | 2

    Of course, I went for one of the 2 MNF (C) fail (GW35 Kane 2 pointer). And well the other MNF (C) fail was Lukaku 8 pointer... with Ozil, the most popular (C) pick that week, scoring 14. So, I ended up going for the worst MNF (C) of the entire season. Such was my season... Hopefully this one doesn't mirror it. At least, Benteke had done me great in GW2 though. Think they were my only 2 MNF (C) picks.

    I get the Aguero logic but I'm concerned under Moyes Sunderland will be a stubborn outfit and they may reduce City to no more than a goal.

    Part of me thinks Ibra could be like RVP a few seasons ago. Just keep sticking it on him.

    Having said that, I'll likely go with Aguero too. :pac: (Wisdom of crowds and all that)
