    It’s really tough this GW, between Kane, Morata and Hazard for me. Seeing as I’m planning on bringing in Morata for Aguero, I’ll probably use the same tactic as GW19 and stick it on the newcomer to the team!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Salah


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Salah


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Going to let Kane get me the 2 pts this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    This GW might actually see the widest spread of captains in a while, I forgot to list Salah above too!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,528 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Kane v Salah

    Tough one.

    Might go Kane because of the sheer number of shots Southampton have been conceding recently especially away from home and we know Harry gets quite a few away. Plus the whole beat Alan Shearer's calendar year record would be nice.

    Salah may be due one of his rests too ie. taken off early with game won. His teammates seem to be getting in on his act presumably with the help of teams trying to focus on him with the form he had earlier this season. Combining his "rest" potential with the recent sharing of spoils pushes me to Kane.

    Most likely Kane, tempted by Hazard too.

    Will prob avoid Liverpool, have Salah and Cout so fairly invested already. Swansea are solid at the back and Liverpool often struggle to break down buses at home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,083 ✭✭✭Chesty08


    Kane is playing in the 12:30 game
    Salah is playing in the 5:30 game

    A 12:30 game on St Stephens day in a stadium like Wembley doesn't sit well with me. But you will be guaranteed the 90mins out of Kane due to Shearer's record & he is currently on 53 while Messi is on 54 for goals in 2017. He'll be looking to beat this too.
    Southampton haven't kept a clean sheet in 10 games.

    Salah - you'd imagine an atmosphere at Anfield & a night game. However Liverpool will either struggle to break Swansea down & if they don't Salah & Coutinho will both be subbed 70minutes

    Sterling - Wednesday night 7:45 away in Newcastle. Great atmosphere and Newcastle shipping goals. Looks nailed on in his current form

    Hazard / Morata - 3pm game. Need a big performance. Brighton kept 2 clean sheets but were both at home. Previous 3 away games conceded 2,2,1 to Spurs, Huddersfield, Man Utd. Chelsea will score in this and I think they'll get 3 or more


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    Coutinho atm but not certain. I'll wait for more info if he'll be rested or anything before making the decision.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,336 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Kane is the only one without a game next weekend so him


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,389 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Salah but maybe Kane or _______ (Austin replacement I haven't signed yet)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,827 ✭✭✭AnneFrank


    Salah for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Hazard.

    It’s extremely tough though, with Kane, Salah and Sterling also crying out for attention.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91 ✭✭timber train


    Ageuro 11 goals
    3 assists
    14 games
    V Newcastle

    I might take out Harry and put in Ageuro and make him captain .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 249 ✭✭student7890


    I'm fixed on Salah, really don't think Morata is going to surprise me by scoring tomorrow against Brighton after time off.
    Kane incoming

    Beam me up Scotty.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,862 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Back on Harry after flirting with Hazard. He looked back to his best against Burnley and surely he'll be fired up to break the record.

    He has no game next weekend to be subbed off early for either
    That’s what’s decided it for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    Yep, think I’ll stick it on Harry myself too. Might still transfer in Morata for Aguero though as I doubt he’ll start v Newcastle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,077 ✭✭✭✭eh i dunno


    Morata Salah hazard sane or firminho. Tough choice but leaning towards hazard. Salah due a rest


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 316 ✭✭Irish Raven


    thinking hazard as the differential....have salah coutiniho sterling and kane in team also....

    will hazard bag a couple with a couple of assists......

    No would be the probable answer

    They will probably all start but the only one I'd be fully confident of starting would be Kane. Its the reason I was always holding Kane to be able to captain someone for this gw that had a decent fixture and would definitely start.

    Salah last 5 games minutes in 79,66,90,70,90 he should be getting the majority of minutes.

    Or you could look at it another way .......

    No Kane as I offloaded him for Aguero last week

    I've only captained Hazard twice this year. Got me 30 points and 12 points. I'll be captaining him tomorrow. Salah - VC


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 316 ✭✭Irish Raven


    took the arm band and put it on coutiniho....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,336 ✭✭✭✭km79


    which is?

    That he has played an awful lot
    More than any of his team mates in his position
    Has a manager who LOVES to rotate
    Is in the middle of a the most intensive period of the season
    And it’s swansea
    At home

    Thats better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,718 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Me and cpt Morgan( not the Leicester City one), don't think Kun Will get too much game time,so it between Kane and Salah,with the latter getting closer to auto cpt


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    The way I see this is if you have Kane, captain him. The team will try to make him break Shearer's record for goals scored in a calendar year. If only I had him :( Gonna be Coutinho for me.

    Salah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,174 ✭✭✭pimpmyhat


    Alonso


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Changed my captain about 8 times at this stage, at this rate i've no idea who it'll be on when I wake up.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,133 ✭✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    Last week, I gave Kun my armband
    But later that day Kane scored a hat trick.
    This week, to save me from tears
    I'll give it to someone special... Sal-ah, Sal-ah.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,518 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    I voted Salah but I think I'm sticking it on Harry


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,470 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Hazard.

    Even though Kane, Salah and even Alonso are calling to me.

    Have to go with my gut. Did it last week with Kane, and I'm going to trust it again today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Kane - because I'm a glutton for punishment but mainly because I can't be sure of Salah, Coutinho or Aguero starting!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Changed to Hazard


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    It’s a real mindfack this week, all I know is that there will be tears later from certain captain picks. Hopefully not for Arry as I switched to him from Haz


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    I meant I actually switched from Morata, won’t allow me edit!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 674 ✭✭✭carnie


    I'm still not confident enough to give Kane the armband. Sterling did a grand job the other day so I'll leave it with him


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,158 ✭✭✭✭hufpc8w3adnk65


    Gone with Kane

    Salah and Sterling were tempting but Kane should be playing a full 90 I’m not sure about the others tho


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    Salah, Hazard, Sterling, Kane & Firmino good options for me.

    Think I'm gonna give it to Kane for 2 reasons:
    - the double record to beat (Shearer 1995 & Messi 2017)
    - the blank GW following (that should ensure him getting the full 90).

    All the others are good candidates but could be subbed very early if their team takes an early & comfortable lead.

    Statistically Kane's the best option. Now stats are one thing, reality's another and Salah already proved that 23 mins is enough to get a brace and 13 pts...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,123 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    Back on Hazard,love this game.
