GW10 Captain Poll

Ziegler1988

Haven't captained him since the DGW33 TC debacle, but the armband is on Big Rom. Deeney VC

Seaba

Would love to put it on Walcott or Sanchez as Sunderland are muck and those 2 are better away from home against teams that come onto them.
But Sunderland won't come onto them, I can imagine it being a wet and/or windy day making it difficult to keep the ball on the floor and it's an early kick off - nerves would be shot for the day if it did not go right.

Therefore - it's between Lukaku and Deeney. Tempted by Deeney as West Hams defence is improving.

Zlatan. Mega score or mega spread his money around several weeks too late.

Against a Hammers side with 2 CS from their last 2?

Really unsure who to captain myself, Firmino or Aguero in my thoughts for now. Sanchez/Walcott tempting but they couldn't score v Boro and it would be typical Moyes (and typical Arsenal) for an upset to be on the cards here

Rikand

I captained kun for gameweek 9 and warned people not to follow me.

Well people, i'm doing it again!

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Not going to post the stats a la that DGW, but suffice it to say that Lukaku has a great scoring record against West Ham and has just returned at the Etihad and Fortress Moor.
My captain score this season is so bad I fully expect him to troll me

spock.

Lukaku.

greedygoblin

Another vote for Big Rom here. Tough decision though what with Arsenal playing Sunderland.

Lukaku vs West Ham is another of the "things" I believe in.

Just like GW8 Aguero, Spurs vs Aguero and PVA DGW37.

I truly hope that Big Rom can restore my faith in the things I believe.....not that I'll captain him necessarily but still.

A repeat of last year's fixture please. Goal and assist for both Payet and Lukaku (I think)..Lukaku's penalty miss took the gloss off though.

CSF

I'm thinking Deeney

F1ngers

Lukaku is a scoring machine against us - he has something like 8 goals in eight or nine games.

Dare I make the ballsy move of putting it on Pieters as a CB.....

What's your reasoning?

Most as a differential.

But it's a poor one. I have Sanchez/Costa/Aguero/Chadli/Lallana/Wilson/Snodgrass

And I honestly can't see any of them getting higher points than defender :pac:

dont do it. If it goes well pieters may outscore sanchez by 4 pts. If it goes wrong sanchez could outscore pieters by 15 pts.

True, also just got rid of Snodgrass to Coutinho, so another option there.

patmac

Then there is Rashford vs Burnley that would be a differential.

mectavba

Deeney for me....I'll be watching the Arsenal match through my fingers though!

LostArt

Lukaku at the moment, might switch to Theo by the weekend though

I probably won't do it but I'm contemplating putting the C on Holebas.

Big Rom for 6!

Cartman78

Looking like Lukaku for me...I've almost forgotten the trauma of the DGW fiasco last season so time to give him another chance

ElTel

Deeney atm.

Sticking with my v Hull player again, so Deeney it is

Haha...I think my Double Game Week Triple Captain Carroll Fail later in the season might have dulled my memory of the Lukaku misfire

Firmino

alchemist33

Haven't a ball's notion.

But since I'm probably bringing him in, Deeney.

Ziegler1988

Switched to Sanchez(c) with the Theo news. Not rational, but it's a big chance to put points into people that went Theo and no Sanchez.

Hadn't thought of it that way, might do the same myself so.

Yeah, was thinking the same.

Any chance Giroud might come in I wonder?

Potential Underachiever

Metsut ooetzil possibly....Looking for something different Aguero has burnt me lately....

Of course there is the counter argument that says Sanchez is less likely to score or assist without Theo. Just saying...

Was on Lukaku and think I've leave it there now.

Would be surprised if Giroud started, Ox is flying in CL and EFL Cup with goals and is a like for like switch. I think a Giroud cameo is more likely to build up fitness levels

It's actually probably better, Theo has been drifting in and occupying central areas that have led to easy goals like against Swansea. Only Sanchez's goals against Watford and Hull have come from Theo assists

Gaillimh1976

The voice in my head telling me Capoue vs Hull just won't go away.......


But probably Sanchez !!!

I can't be the only one who pronounces Ozil like that can I, anyway I've already changed my mind I've bought in Deeney for a one week punt, may as well give him the armband.

Rushy Fields

costa, ibrahimovic, walcott, capoue anyone have a preference,?? Leaning towards ibrahimovic as a punt

Ibra is hardly a punt! Walcott may miss the game see the injuries thread, Capoue nah not really done anything in weeks, Costa yea I can see him scoring alright.

Ibra at home to Burnley i wouldn't call a punt. If you own him, you have to captain him this week i.m.o.

manual_man

changed from Firmino to Sanchez myself

iroced

I have no inspiration at all. I generally suck at captains anyway :rolleyes: :pac:...

So by default, it kinda has to be Alexis Sanchez right?!



- edit -
Crazy that MU's Ibra home to Burnley is so low...
I guess not many still have him but the lack of United options for a home game vs Burnley is a testimony of their (MU & Mourinho) downfall. Watch them score 5 now :pac:...

Shouldn't you be captaining a Stoke player ?

True, I'm hoping Rashford starts and causes havoc, capt on Sanchez though

Yeah but

1) my MNF (C) theory (well it's not a theory, it's facts ) works for obvious enough captains. Not sure who currently fits the bill at Stoke. Arnie? A couple of years ago, I'd have been tempted by Walters who's mostly be a great player for me in the game.

2) I only own Whelan ...

I've Shaq and bony and it's tempting BUT I won't be watching as it's Halloween so I won't bother
It would probably be bony out of those 2 anyway so I'm prob better off

manual_man

I can see Stoke being a bingo roulette a-la Liverpool as to how the points are dished out - Bony-Arnie-Allen-Shaq take your pick and prepare to be trolled

I've a feeling I've got my points from shaq
If arnie was not on 4 yellows I'd even be considering switching
Shaq got 3 goals all last season ! Although it was his first in the league . He is more of an assist mans hence the million price difference . He could easily have had 2/3 assists on tops of the goals the last day !
