Scorpion Sting

On Ibrahimovic at the moment.

Ziegler1988

Ibra(c) Vardy(vc)

Father Hernandez

Tempted to lump on Iheanacho !

manual_man

Ibra, though I'll certainly have the fear with no Man City players going in to this gw

spock.

Zlatan for now but it may end up on Sterling

extra gravy

Probably Zlatan but tempted by Benteke. Stoke look a mess right now.

ShaneU

Sanchez or Ibrahimovic

dr.kenneth noisewater

Ibra at present but tempted by Costa

Who_8_Paul?

Lukaku...... ok I'll get my coat...

dsmythy

Tough one. I always go with home players. Likely Hazard over Costa or Nolito.

manual_man

Ibra

SkySter

Lukaku (C), Ibra (V)

q2ice

Benteke (C)
Ibra (VC)

FrClintPower

I could easily go for any of Ibra, Benteke or Lukaku, but at the moment the armband is on Mané (who isn't even in the poll). I just can't shake the thoughts of Mané and the rest of Liverpool's attack up against Gary "Traffic Cone" Cahill and Sideshow Bob. Liverpool may not win the game, but I can see them scoring a few anyway.

Iused2likebusts

Sanchez most likely

Thepoet85

Torn between Ibra and Lukaku

Dice75

Vardy.

Rikand

Zlats!

ElTel

Lukaku Zlatan or Sanchez will get the armband.

Cartman78

Tentatively on Firmino at the minute but may switch to my newly wildcarded in Big Rom

I'm bringing in Iheanacho for a one week punt before WC'ing and contemplating captaining him.

I'm doing this just waiting for united to finish tonight before pulling the trigger in case of injuries

Considered it myself but in effect I'd be taking a -8 so I just don't think it's worth it. Serious potential with him this weekend but much depends how you're set up, transfer plans, wildcard used/not used etc.

bezuaua

bringing Iheanacho today and placing the armband on him! one week punt before KUNcarding next week!

Sooner or Later

Currently on Vardy but not convinced

Was looking to bring him in on Tuesday, but held off thinking he would not go up in price, plus City were schulded to play.

Ended up going in price, and match was postponed.

Still seriously tempted to do the above though.

And now the armband is floating magically towards Iheanacho....:D

alchemist33

I voted Hazard but am now 90% certain of brining in ItchyNacho andf captaining him. City home to Bournemouth has all the hallmarks of being a bloodbath.




(or a 1-0 loss)

wrestlemaniac

On Lukaku at the moment, don't know if it's going to stay there though

2nd Row Donkey

if everyone could stop captaining Iheanacho that would be great.

I've 500k places to claw back this weekend.

Goodnight.
much love.

He's not even sure to start.

He started last week and did v well.
He was rested mid week for CL

Nothing is certain in this game but I'd be amazed if he doesn't start.

I'd expect him to start too but I'm trying to learn from my first year playing (last year) and punting on a captain is a no no from now on.

I want my captain to be as close to guaranteed 90 minutes as possible. I know he could score 4 in the first half but KDB or Nolito could also start up front with your man on the bench.

tailgunner

I'd say he's sure to start, but I'd be surprised if gets 90 minutes. Having said that, I would probably take the chance if I was wildcarding next week.

the whole year inn

Ah he will start,it worked so well against United goal and assist,and brought on for 10 mins in the Champions League and scores.
I might be mistaken but didn't Sterling run riot last season against Bournemouth,might be different and cap him.He didnt play the whole 90 mins either and say he will get game time.

Necronomicon

This is a very interesting week, not many stand-out options. Currently leaning towards Hazard but that could easily change.

What a difference a season makes,Benteke gone from being FF poison to my captain this GW.:eek:

Thepoet85

Gone with Iheanacho. The sort of thing that usually back fires, but WC'ing after this gw, so now seems a good time to take a punt.

Ah sure, I remember Benteke being heavily captained against Bournemouth and Norwich this time last season.

last gameweek was his only big points haul to date. expensive players like Zlatan, Aguero, Hazard, Sanchez, Costa had got a headstart on him in that regard so they were already in a lot of teams. I really rate KDB and he could do very well this weekend but simply put @10.5m it's hard for a lot of managers to fit him in to their teams, moreso when you think quite a lot will be looking to get Aguero back in for next gameweek and the funds needed for that

I don't think many of us would jump straight from owning Sanchez last GW to KDB this week. He's a good option, but I'm not sure I want to spend 23.5m on Man City attack from next week on. Especially since before ManU he had one shot in the box.

"My position is totally different from last year. It's not too defensive, but I know I will be more of a creator but have to help my team-mates up front more to get them the ball. They will do more of the finishing this year but I really enjoy it so far.
