GW14 Captain

Father Hernandez

Who's got your pick?

Morata for me..

dsmythy

I've faith in Harry. Might be something of a differential captain this week too.

PVA

Toss up between Morata and Salah.

Same. Hoping he repays the faith!

A sniny new Hazzy in my team, armband will go to him

WoollyRedHat

Surprised Lacazette doesn't warrant inclusion considering Lukaku is in there. Toss up between him and Morata for me.

Arsenal / Lacazette were brutal yesterday from flicking in and out of the live match. Ozil looks like he's off, Sanchez looked like he wants to be on a plane too. They really were toothless. Granted Burnley are a well oiled machine.

I actually think Huddersfield will beat them if they show any bit of the fight the had vs City yesterday.

Hazard for me, same again the following gameweek hopefully.

Really? He's been a pretty terrible player form a FF perspective for his price, does not warrant being considered with the big boys.

Brought Morata in so giving him the armband but tempted to keep it on Kane

Ozil was off alright. Off the pitch, tucked up at home in bed with illness...

Agreed on Lacazette, surprising he is still in some teams but even at that I wouldn't risk the armband on him.

I watched the whole thing, and Lacazette actually did quite well, only that the service wasn't as good as a result of Ozil being sick ( and the fact Burnley are quite a defensive team). If you had seen the previous game against Totenham you would see what Arsenal's attack is capable of. Huddersfield play quite an expansive game, they don't just sit back and I think that will suit Arsenal this Wednesday. Plus record at home is 100 % in PL this calendar year. I think you could see a big score from him this mid GW.

Perhaps for his price but you could make same argument for Sanchez then. Lacazette has gotten better in every game he's played in and is still relatively new to PL.

I'm going to call your bluff here, you didnt watch the Arsenal game at all did you??

I'm not sure why anyone would bluff about watching a game?? I was watching it on an app (in god knows what language) whilst also having the Connaught club football final on TV.

Off as in off to Barcelona. I.e he might be "sick" for upcoming games too.

No chance. Arsenal have a great home record, they've won around 13 games in a row now I think and Huddersfield have barely scored an away goal all season.

gammygils

Salah I reckon

Dearg81

Gonna keep it simple and go with Hazard although I'm tempted by Kolasinac who should get at least 6.

Or KAK. Which is what he has been when captained most weeks this season. And what has happened to my pants on these occasions.

Interesting.

Swansea haven’t been scoring, or looking like scoring, recently so that could be a good shout.

You’d expect Chelsea to be camped inside their half too so increased risk of free kicks in suitable areas.

All that along with the fact he generally gets into the box quite a bit could be a great shout.

I do also own Hazard and Morata so I can’t ignore that fact but I have captained Alonso once or twice in the past.

Trimm Trabb

Gut is telling me Kane is gonna score well but form and fixture means I have it on Hazard at the moment.

His expected points is very high this week. Banking on a clean sheet

How am I now considering captaining Alonso, why did I click on this thread

Lads captaining a defender just never makes sense.

You’re relying on a clean sheet which in itself is very dangerous. Also adding the need of at least an assist really, it just isn’t good.

Well you're always relying on your captain getting something above and beyond the 2 points for starting. A clean sheet is the same points as a goal for a forward. I'd suspect the odds of a Chelsea clean sheet are similar to that of Morata scoring any time.

I wanna go Hazard but it feels too risky

I'd feel more at ease with Kane, as in I'd lose less ground if I captained Kane and he blanked rather than if I captained Hazard and he blanked

Normally I would agree, and I can't recall ever captaining a defender in 10+ years... that said, its not the worst decision in Alonso's case, he's basically a winger!

Chelsea are 8/13 to keep a clean sheet. Morata is 8/13 to score a goal

Alonso is 3/1 to score. Morata is 3/1 to score 2 (or more)

This is back of the cigarette packet maths but you see where I'm going, and this isn't factoring in assists or bonus points. It's a closer call that you would think, although Morata would shade it on the basis he's unlikely to end up on 2 points, whereas if Chelsea do concede that's a likely end score for Alonso. Both have the potential to score 10+, but Morata is the much safer bet.

If I didn't have Hazard or Morata I would consider Alosno, but it's always a gamble.

callaway92

I have Alonso so obv want him to score well but definitely captaining Morata

If this poll is anything to go by Chelsea will be heavily transferred in and captained.

Officer999

Going with Hazard but have a really nagging feeling that his gonna be benched.
Really hope I'm wrong!

Agree, he's getting rested soon and this could be it.
Mane and Firmino got the rest at the weekend, could be Salah's turn and with Lallana coming back that allows Klopp to play him or Couthinho on the left and Mane on the right to give Salah a rest.

This means I'll be going for Morata (C), Hazard (VC)

wardides

Would it be bonkers to captain Alonso?
