Kane at home to a Swansea defence that conceded 4 at home to palace last week and he is on pens
If you have him captain him IMO

Yes.

But.

It's bloody iroced and his captain obvious curse that has me freaked out.

Sold Coutinho for Pedro (which gives me an uncomfortable situation of two Chelsea mids vs. City) and bought in Kane for Lukaku for a -4.

Captaining Kane.

Got Kane in this week and will go with him.

dr.kenneth noisewater · 02-12-2016 10:52PM

De Bruyne ((Chelsea H)

Sanchez, Firmino or Aguero?
Kun at the min!

AdpRo · 02-12-2016 11:45PM

I've had it on Defoe since the GW updated last saturday, will probably chicken out in the morning!

Sooner or Later · 02-12-2016 11:46PM

No Kane, so Sanchez (c) Austin (v)

:pac:.

The worst thing is I feel if I go for Sanchez trying to be clever, I'm afraid the curse will stop. I experienced it last year with the MNF (C). Always bottled it despite stats proving its efficiency. The only time I went for it against the popular pick it completely backfired...

Also I played a -12 mini WC for getting Kane in and switching back to 3-4-3 so I feel I kinda have to captain him.

Arnie at home to Burnley, seems a weekend where a gamble could prove dividends, hoping Kane pulls a hammy in first 5 mins

ironmonkey · 03-12-2016 11:15AM

No Coutinho no sturridge got to be mane for me

Could do with another 5-4 scoreline in a Swansea game. As a Kane and Siggy owner I'm sure that would please me.

A little torn on Sanchez v Kane.

Boring Mr P's analysis is spot on. Kane is the sword, Sanchez the shield.

Kanes ownership is still low, higher owned among more switched on, planning ahead players than casuals. Most who don't own Kane will captain Sanchez and to a lesser extend Aguero.

Assuming you own both Kane and Sanchez....

If you captain Kane and he blanks, while Sanchez smashes it you will lose ground badly.

If you captain Sanchez and he blanks while Kane smashes it you will still do ok as Kane is still a differential overall.

So Sanchez = shield.

But if you captain Kane and he smashes it you will fly up the rankings. Kane = sword.

The ownership and captain poll around here somewhat disguise these points.

I'm captaining Kane. If I was in the top 20k I might have gone Sanchez...

I'd say it's the other way around in money leagues judging by this poll and FFS poll where Kane is a big favorite. I'm expecting to lose ground in MLs yet gain overall if Kane smashes it today and outscores Sanchez by 10+ points

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Kane....have had a series of captain fails so hoping Harry can stop the rot

Necronomicon · 03-12-2016 12:15PM

Don't have Kane, getting quite nervous about that, so going with Sanchez.

As i thought, Sanchez it is (dont have Kane)

Not comfortable having my GW depend on the Swansea defence!

Switched to Kane. Celebrate that new contract in style Harold.

Kane
2 touches in the game will do again
a tap in and a scored penalty

km79 · 03-12-2016 01:25PM

Aguero (Chelsea H)

here are some scary stats I just seen
aguero has 33 goals in last 33 starts
he has 4 goals in 2 games against Chelsea including a hat trick in last game which I somehow forgot about

ah well at least I have him

Sanchez or Kane. Although Aguero could test that Chelsea defence.

It's quite a pickle. Form vs fixture. So what would a sensible person do? Choose Sanchez.

Captain Sanchez it is. Probably....

Having Kane for now is more than likely enough on the risk/reward scale.

Yes I do disgust myself with what I've become :pac:

I'm slightly less disgusted with myself now :pac:
