Plenty of good options this week

jive

Sanchez although tempted by Hazard.

pimpmyhat

Most Likely sanchez

CSF

Likely Costa if he gets the nod.

dsmythy

Sanchez

tailgunner

Tempted by Pedro.

spock.

Hazard

manual_man

Probably go with Sanchez myself, though Kane on the back of a hatrick up against an awful City defense is tempting

Hazard (without Costa playing) looks the best option but I don't have him.

I'll be looking at Sanchez but if Giroud is going to play then I'll captain Lallana.

TacT

Options up between Alonso, Hazard, Sanchez and Ibra but it's down to a 3 way shootout between the two middle-men for me. Probably Hazard on pens as I feel an explosion is due!

Pens are huge when playing Hull.

10 penalties conceded in 21 games must be a record.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Double down on Aguero. He has to score.

Father Hernandez

Costa if he's back, San(C)hez otherwise

Mr.Prodston

It's Aguero Day but having him might be more than enough

Likely to be Sanchez!

Read an interesting piece last night about Agueros failure to score vs high pressing teams. He routed Poch in his first season twice but since the press has bedded in has failed to score in 4 attempts vs Spurs.

The Aguero v Spurs thing is dead.

Sanchez and Hazard vice..

I'm on auto pilot mode with captaining Sanchez these days

Working for me too, so will stick with it

Sooner or Later

Sanchez.
Burnley away are the polar opposite of Burnley at home and if Giroud is missing he will be playing up front.

My head tells me Sanchez, my heart tells me Ibra

Is the Hazard pick % lower due to a lot of teams downgrading him for Pedro lately? I have Hazard & Sanchez and I'm leaning to Haz as I think Hull is the easier fixture.
With question marks over Giroud & Costa, both these guys could be playing up top. It's a tough call.

I think if i had Hazard i'd captain him. But his ownership among serious players has definitely gone down recently

CSF

I don't have Hazard. Sanchez would be an easy choice ahead of him if I had. Costa is the only competition for Sanchez in my eyes but I'd only do that if it was 100% confirmed he'd start.

Burnley have stopped leaking a lot of goals away lately, even though they are still losing. I'd look at the Hull defence as being worse but I'll wait on news on both Costa/Giroud before final decision.

This is true Burnley have improved a lot in away games the last 6 weeks or so. Up till then they were getting slaughtered in away games. I'll still be captaining Sanchez but probably would captain hazard if I had him.

Lallana? Philips or Antonio

mectavba

I was nailed on with Sanchez, but now that Giroud (who I also have) is passed fit, I wonder...would it be a crazy gamble to put it on Giroud? He scored or assisted 75% of Arsenal's goals since he is back in the team. I just wonder will he start on the bench if he is carrying an injury.

I'm looking at Phillips.

Sunderland have only conceded less than 2 once since October away from home.

West Brom have scored 3 or more in every game at home in the league since October bar one (vs. United).

P.Walnuts

I can't help but feel captaining Costa shape the rest of my season, if Conte hints at all that he will play I think if you still have him you have to go for it

siblers

Giroud being fit is a small bit of a balls as it means Sanchez is pushed out on the wing, he'll still create a load but would rather him up front

Keane and Mee are well equipped to handle Giroud, whereas Sanchez can just dart in between them and play in between the lines and i doubt they'll be able to handle him. My prediction is Giroud to make a nuisance of himself and occupy the centre backs, while Sanchez will be the one to benefit!

Fcuk it gonna captain Costa....

Be waiting for team news on sunday like...

Koptain Liverpool

Nobody for Lukaku at all?

Aenaes

I had it on Sanchez, changed it to Hazard a couple of days ago after reading this thread but I haven't felt comfortable about it so I've stuck it back on Sanchez.

SkySter

Sanchez all the way. Tried to be clever last week with Giroud (C) and it cost me six points.

ElTel

Hazard.
It could be my last chance to give him the armband.

Think I'm going with him over Sanchez too, it's a marginal call though and could backfire spectacularly

Sure is. Hull let Livermore go to WBA too so I guess a soft penno is less likely.

That's the spirit

Seems I don't have the balls to captain Lallana so it'll be Sanchez.

CSF

I can't fathom if captaining Costa this week is too risky a decision. How high is the risk of him not starting and how does the risk/reward ratio stack up to say for example Sanchez.

Don't have nor want Hazard so Giroud is the other real option but I doubt I'd end up going with him.

Yes and I'll probably chicken out in the morning ! But I don't really have too many options , Kane Defoe and IBRA up front , and no Sanchez . Some very lucky captain picks have seen me rise to the top 5000 in the last few weeks . Who knows , it may continue
He did get a goal and an assist against Swansea earlier in the season . If cout is back he may play further forward .
Or not at all
