GW4 Captain Poll

Ziegler1988

Sanchez(c) Ibra(vc) for me

bezuaua

Sanchez (c) - if he "survives" tomorrow's match against bolivia (FIFA World Cup CONMEBOL qualifying tournament)

dsmythy

Zlatan. Big game so he ought to show himself.

GLaDOS

Thinking Hazard

SickBoy

Taking a chance on Negredo

GLaDOS

Should see a decent spread of captains this week anyway, with Aguero out and Ibra facing a tough fixture.

Mr.Prodston

Aguer......oh

*reboots brain to "Think" setting*

ScummyMan

Coin toss between Sanchez and Hazard.

threein99

Hazard for me, Swansea have been very poor this season

Rikand

Currently on Hazard

Xaniaj

On Hazard here as well.

spock.

San(c)hez

the whole year inn

Hazard

elefant

Did someone mention before that Hazard's returns are much more inconsistent away from home?

Half thinking about Cazorla too.

Cartman78

Hazard at the moment.....although Sanchez could rob it off him at the last minute

Gary Gurney

Genuinely shocked at the lack of love for lukaku. Banged in 2 for Belgium yesterday and will be keen to get off the mark and show good form after a confusing transfer window for him. I know a few here on the forum are dead set against captaining him but he still got 20ish goals last season from a mis firing everton side. Add to that, Sunderland look shaky at the back with Moyes at the helm.

the groutch

the fact he hasn't scored for Everton since March 12th might have something to do with it.

Current FFS GW4 captain poll



Practically dead level between Sanchez and Hazard ( my vote for Sanchez being the difference! :P )

Shanotheslayer

Everyton fan here.

Not contemplating putting Rom in team until he scored 1 then he may go on a streak.

Hasn't scored since 6th of Feb in the league and hasn't looked good so far. 2 goals against Cyprus doesn't count for much. Plenty of other options already firing (Defoe, Costa, Negredo) and he is not on pens anymore. Sunderland have looked poor at the back but you could make the same transfer argument for Kone and now he is settled and that will settle Sunderland as he is their best defender by a mile. They've also signed a new keeper and, to be fair, they've been away to Southampton + City which are not easy games; they have conceded the same or less goals overall than the teams City have played so far.

Having said all that, I do rate him and if I didn't have Barkley + Baines I'd go for him (can't be having 3 Everton!!!)

Has been on hazard since around 7pm of gw 3, when I transferred him in. Likley contenders are Ibra or Ozil but think I'll stick to my gut and hazard

extra gravy

Going to go with Ibra I think. He despises Pep and will be well up for it.

I'm torn between Ibra and Hazard now as I decided not to get Sanchez in. Slightly leaning towards Hazard ATM

Ya I'm leaning towards just getting Ozil in now rather than getting Sanchez and just having to get rid in order to get Aguero is back. I don't have the stats but isn't Hazard less effective in away games? I think there's an article about this over on FFS if you're a member.

Yeah that's the one thing that's putting me off, Hazard's home stats are way better than his away

This captains poll is basically a case of "who do you have"

Well I have all 3 popular options and still no idea who to go for...

mectavba

Sanchez > Hazard for me....I think Hazard wasn't great away from even in his player of the year season (stand to be corrected).

I have Ibra, Kun and Hazard. My plan was to captain Kun and Ibra every other week when they are playing at home.

As Ibra is playing away I think I'll take the opportunity to punt and captain Gray at home to Hull.

Ibra is at home

Will Sanchez start? BBC Sport are reporting:

"Arsene Wenger says midfielder Aaron Ramsey is not ready to return from injury, while he is yet to see goalkeeper David Ospina and forward Alexis Sanchez since they returned from international duty."

Read into that what you will. Personally, I think Sanchez - when fit - is one of those lads who Wenger plays until he breaks, so I can see him starting.

This has me nervous
PSG midweek so prob won't play 90 either way whereas hazard and Ibra will
They also have MUCH higher ownership
Hhhmmmm

There'll be pictures of training on arsenal.com later. Sanchez has played at least 70 mins every match following an international break. Wenger doesn't do earlier subs than that

Sanchez in training today: https://www.facebook.com/Arsenal/videos/10154204741457713/

Also looks like Gabriel around the 20 second mark, which is pretty early return for him

Ziegler1988

The more people on FFS and Twitter that don't captain, or even own him, the better in my opinion. Watch him not start now :pac:

Necronomicon

Yeah I think I'm still going with him, but I am slightly nervous.

Ziegler1988

Just for reference, here's a couple of articles where Wenger was voicing even more concerns last October. We played Watford on the Saturday and had Bayern Munich on the Tuesday:
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/612244/Arsene-Wenger-major-Alexis-Sanchez-worry-Watford-clash
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3273866/Arsene-Wenger-sweating-fitness-Alexis-Sanchez-ahead-Arsenal-trip-Watford.html

I still captained him and he got 10 points while Pelle was the poll leader and blanked.

This was Wenger after the match: http://www.espnfc.us/arsenal/story/2668735/wenger-alexis-sanchez-relentless-in-arsenal-win-at-watford

Might chance Michail Antonino with the armband with Costa vice.
Hammers have Watford at home. Had him benched last GW (City Away) He got 7

Mint Sauce

Any love for Defoe?

caviardreams

Gonna go with Costa - though nobody else seems to be doing it which is worrying me.

Hazard and Ozil are both tempting me (no Sanchez)

Sponsorgate

Ibra for me. A man for the big occasion i reckon

Mr.Prodston

It's on Hazard as nothing else really jumps out at me.

Apart from a Mirallas MNF special

Very tempted by Costa myself. Closely followed by Zlatan.

MNF, you say.....

After his 2 goals against Cyprus.......... NO!

Hazard, for the same reason as yourself :pac::D

smokingman

No-one on for a lash of the Kane?

jamesbere

Hazard here aswell, looks a good fixture for him

shineon23

I quite fancy Jay Rodriguez to do something if he starts.

But Hazard (C) all the way for me.

TacT

haz to be

Wamble

Hoping Hazard's away form from previous seasons continues, so I'm captaining Antonio. He's a beast, with a more advanced position in line for tomorrow, and watford's defensive set up is the worst in the league atm.

Go Hammers go.

Kankan14

Costa is the one I'm leaning towards. Small chance I change to ozil or IBRA.
