GW1 Captain poll

F1ngers

Aguero for me, unless I bring in Jesus.

jimmii

Lukaku. I'll never learn.

Father Hernandez

Voted Lukaku but could easily change to Jesus before Friday.

Tempted to take a punt on Zaha though :cool:

ScummyMan

Lukaku.

Staying away from a City player cause Chris Hughton teams are typically tighter than a camel's arse in a sandstorm, and promoted teams often start well.

Lukaku

Will play it safe and go lukaku
(Never thought id type that sentence )

Paully D

Lukaku.

GW1 is not the time for taking punts.

spock.

Kane.
Unlikely I'll have Lukaku and would probably captain Kane anyway.

Mint Sauce

FIX is recommending Baines for me, I may change that before Friday evening though. Jesus, King, Firmino, and Salah, are all on my short list.

I hate captaining Lukaku...

But feck it.

No need for risks in GW1.

Even in an auto complete team you should have a better option than that!

Big Rom to kick us off.

The official fpl Twitter account has just tweeted an article to help pick people's captains and mentions it
Honestly why don't they just pick everyone's team at this stage

Klonker

Benteke

gammygils

Kane. Tekkers vc

I'm thinking of going without Lukaku, Kane or Aguero in my side :eek:

Kane still a possibility, but probably won't have the other 2. Looks like a masssssssssssive risk looking at the captaincy figures already. I love an auld fantasy gamble though. Jesus or a Liverpool player in my thinking right now.

Would love to stick it on Aguero, but playing it safe with Lukaku

Am I panicking picking Batshuayi as captain? They play Burnley at home and he's had a great pre season. Is Lukaku or KDB a safer bet?

Benimar

Lukaku. I think he's going to troll,the bejaysus out of us, but his ownership and captaincy levels are so high it's way too risky not to pick him.

Lukaku certainly, KDB somewhat of a 'risk'

I posted previously in this thread going for Lukaku & about 'punting' for Zaha in GW1 but after reading quite a bit, GW1 is not for punts.

Say you do go for Batshuayi, he starts and at best, gets an assist where as the majority of people in your leagues and globally have gone for Lukaku who gets a hat trick and 3 bonus, you're playing catch up with everyone right from the off.

If Lukaku was to fail and you and the rest are on him, then everyone is in the same boat bar maybe the odd 'punter' on their own, the rest of your team will dictate your GW1 points to see where you finish.

It's not to say either scenario will happen but it's best to play safe than to punt right away.

Good luck

On the first week? No he isn't

With Lukaku near 50% of ownership it only makes sense to give him the armband.

As others said - too early to take risk. We will have plenty of time to do silly things
