GW13 Captains thread

F1ngers

Have it on Aguero myself.

greedygoblin

Presently Mané, having had it on Sanchez. But Alexis might be at risk of being benched. No doubt I'll change it umpteen times before the deadline.

Sanchez(c) Firmino(vc)

spock.

Coutinho

Firmino (C) Coutinho (VC)

Aguero. I don't quite trust Firmino against a rejuvenated Sunderland.

Cartman78

Firmino. I don't quite trust Aguero against anybody these days.....:pac::pac::pac:



Will have a longer think about it - need to make 2-3 transfers as well to try to stop the rot

dsmythy

Firmino. Sunderland still can't defend.

Reason says 'Pool mid. But since most captain obvious are bound to fail... It's either Aguero away (6 of his goals came away to a small team in the form of three braces) or Costa for his consistency (but tough game) or an attacker vs Hull (but who owns a WB attacker?).

Wouldn't Aguero be classed as an obvious choice given his status in the game?

Admittedly. But what I call obvious from my season analysis last year is the most popular choice, the outstanding one from the polls.

In fairness, my observation may very well not be applicable this GW where we'll probably end up with Coutinho, Firmino, Aguero & Sanchez sharing the votes (that's currently the case on FFS). In here though, the 'Pool mids are largely dominating the poll for now (and I only based my analsysis from our FSA polls last year - couldn't be a*sed checking back FFS one ).

AdMMM

On one thread I'm questioning the worth of even having Aguero in my team, but here I'm saying I'm captaining him!

Aguero looking like a differential now compared to CoutFirMane. Makes it a very interesting gameweek.

Trimm Trabb

Have Coutinho, Firmino, Mane - could captain any of them.

Have it on Mane at the moment.

Last time I had this dilemma aguero had no form and a "tough " away game at WBA
I captained Ibra
I'll be sticking with aguero this week barring champ league injury

razorblunt

Bah, I picked OTHER as I didn't see the combined Liverpool mids.

Currently jumping Mane and Aguero

Fancy Hazard or Costa if I get him in, especially if Alder doesn't make it. Rose suspended and Davies injured so if Vertonghen covers LB that would leave Dier and Wimmer CB pairing. Could be another hiding if Chelsea play like they did against Everton.

Shanotheslayer

Thinking Costa.

Could be Aguero or Continho.

I don't know,what I do know is, whatever one I pick will be wrong the one.

You where on the money there even before kickoff
... Wimmer and Dier played CB while Vertoghen was rested and is expected to play LB vs Chelsea.
Monaco opened us up time and time again and only for heroics from Lloris they could have had 5 or 6.

Meanwhile Chelsea will have had 7 days of rest and preparation come kick off

Didn't realize it was the early sat ko
Don't think I will captain Kun now after all

Iused2likebusts

Burnley 0 utd 0, Burnley 0 Liverpool 1, Burnley 0 arsenal 1, Burnley 0 spurs 0, Burnley 1 city 0, Burnley 2 Liverpool 0, Burnley 0 arsenal 1. That's Burnley's last 7 games at home against what I'd class the top 6 teams. That's 3 goals conceded in 7 games.

Early ko after away European game too so he is a no go for me now
Sanchez so..........I just can't bring myself to captain coutinho . His inconsistency of years gone by has not been forgotten

Trimm Trabb

Had a little change of heart today, currently:

Firmino (C) Mane (VC)

I might go the Hazard route too due to the early City kick off and Aguero limping at end of that match

Plus they're at home with no midweek games and they've been scoring for fun at the bridge lately. Hmm food for thought

And alderweireld is still out
On him now

Have Coutinho & Mane.

Mane has been threatening to blow his socks off in recent weeks missing a hatful of high % chances & setting up a few no converted! This will be his week

After much deliberation I've decided it has to be a Liverpool player.

I had it on Kun without really thinking about it but if anybody is going to concede a bagful I think it will be Sunderland at Anfield.
