GW2 Captain

    A lot of potential choices this week....Mahrez is seriously tempting me vs Arsenal.

    Zlatan is off to the races already though. He's now scored on his debut in the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, Ligue 1 and even the Champion's League. Is this a sign of things to come?

    Aguero if he doesn't play tomorrow. Zlatan if Aguero does play tomorrow.

    Ibra or Firmino or Hazard. Probably Ibra if he's more than 50% in the polls


  • Registered Users Posts: 64 ✭✭Fenson


    I dont know why, but really good feeling on Firmino :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 798 ✭✭✭LightsStillOn


    Will have to see how the match goes tonight first, but I'm already getting that punty feeling and Ayew against Bournemouth is sounding nice :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    Kane. Easy decision.

    Aguero if I feel like playing 'safe' but Firmino and even Vardy are under consideration.

    Even after such a quiet day on Saturday and possibly Janssen starting in front of him? He'd be in my mind if I had him for sure but I don't think he'd be the one I ended up pulling the trigger on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,664 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Firmino I think for me....unless I get Kane in for Vardy :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,514 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    With what I'm spending on Zlatan if I dont captain him at home then why would I have him at all. Aguero will probably punish me for slapping vice captain on him of course...

    I've never understood this reasoning at all. Just because he costs a fortune doesn't mean he has to be captain material, on the regular, in order to be worth it. I've seen people say the same about Sanchez, Silva etc. and cannot see the validity of the reasoning.

    Southampton have a good record at OT though. Zlatan against VVD will be an interesting battle.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,670 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    It's on Zlatan for now but might change back to Aguero depending on tomorrows game

    I was thinking the same but his general threat yesterday didn't fill me with the confidence to follow through on that.

    As such his value at 11.5 is subject to the next few games.

    I look at it more like I'm paying for a great option and potential captain option. If I think Ibra will "only" score one goal and Firmino will get double digits, I'm happy both do well and for my captain to get extra points.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Aguero for now but will see how Hazard does tonight. I'm not feeling very well disposed towards Firmino today.


    And Payet gets the armband for my FSA World Cup French team!

    Unlikely.

    Good chance he will play alongside him rather than instead of him.

    I meant Kane would be behind him, rather than on the bench.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭sheroman01


    Would like to pick Vardy, with Arsenals dodgy defence. Will end up going safe and picking Aguero though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 36,186 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Aguero.

    or Mané if I'm feeling really frisky.


  • Registered Users Posts: 810 ✭✭✭fermanagh_man


    Rooney

    To Zlatan or not to Zlatan as the Zlatan dictionary of English would say.


    Zlatan.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,779 ✭✭✭Benimar


    Hazard at Watford is looking an option too now.

    Watford are currently playing a winger/striker in the right wing back role. Hazard could do some serious damage on Saturday. I don't see how I can get him in without sacrificing Sanchez which I don't wanna do. So many dilemmas.

    Zlatan

    Aguero has indeed been inserted in the Champions playoff game. He has missed two penalty attempts.


  • Registered Users Posts: 230 ✭✭Big Borg


    However, Aguero has scored 2 on the pitch. Only 83 minutes in.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Well, this has become a bit of a head-scratcher now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,625 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Hat trick now. Hard to take the armband off him in this form.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,762 ✭✭✭jive


    I would like to retract my initial statement and just leave the captaincy on him anyway

    Hard not to stick it on Aguero now.
