    72% went for Salah last week
    7% Other
    6% Sanchez
    5,3% Aguero

    Will it be more balanced this week? Who you on?

    Anyone that watched the Palace game last week will be captaining Salah.

    They gave up a shed load of chances.

    De Bruyne

    I'm worried Aguero could be rotated out for Jesus so reluctant to captain him for fear he might only get 20 mins. Thinking Eriksen could be a good shout as he could be Spurs main goal threat as Kane has his traditional month off, he's on corners as well which could be a source of assists for him too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 802 ✭✭✭KingJamsie


    De Bruyne

    RIP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,845 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Currently on Mané but could probably end up on Salah by the weekend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,654 ✭✭✭greedygoblin


    Presently have it on Kun but will probably switch it to Mo before the deadline. Pep being Pep, you just don't know who will start for City.

    As a Spurs fan, only if he stops hitting the first man...

    (Yes I know we scored from a corner last week, but it was from a flick on at the near post to the far, so no Eriksen assist anyway!)

    Otherwise I'd still expect a goal or assist from him.
    De Bruyne

    Injured isn't he?
    Aguero

    Likely not to get a full 90, I have him as VC!

    Aguero seems the obvious choice, but I've gone for Salah due to bookies odds.


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


    Aguerooooo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,383 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Might chance Eriksson


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭Dubh Geannain


    On last season's form: Mo
    On this season's form: Mo


    (It's a case of Aguero V Mo for me)


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


    Last season Manè scored against Palace home and away.

    Beam me up Scotty.

    One thing I learned last season and will be sticking to is to stop trying to get ahead of the curve with Kane
    So many times last year got him in too soon /capatined him when clearly not in form
    Cost me at least one league

    Keep it simple
    Salah or aguero (although you prob don't have him if you have Kane)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii

    So you're saying he's due a blank vs them then! :pac:

    There is no way I could dump him this week but if he blanks again id have no problem getting rid can't have him and not captain him this week though even with Salah in the team

    If Aguero owners aren't captaining him this week, then when? And if not, is he really worth the coin?


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


    I'm very much tempted by Mendy this wknd.

    Salah is going to be auto captain for most, don't have any problem not captaining Kun.

    I've never really seen the logic in that point of view tbh. Just spend your money on the team that you think will get you most points, captain who you think is the best bet weekly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭Seaba


    Got caught numerous times last year trying to be smart, not captaining an inform Salah in favour of Kane and Lukaku in particular, who were playing at home.
    Aguero might be different at home to Huddersfield however!! Rotation is a concern or him being taken off at 60 if they are 3-0 up.
    Liverpool are a serious team this year, Salah always get chances so will stick with him.

    Yeh but he'll have a hat trick so you won't care ;)

    I was really tempted too, but then I saw that in the last 5 seasons, No full-back/wing-back has delivered an attacking return in both GW1+2. We would be playing for the CS really. I would rather be hoping on Aguero to get an eventual goal / assist (or multiple) than a clean sheet only.

    Which leads me onto Aguero - every time there is an expectancy for him to score big, he generally lets us down, from past experience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,752 ✭✭✭Thepoet85


    Been on Kun all week and will more than likely stay there. Will see what is said at today's pressers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,716 ✭✭✭DJIMI TRARORE


    Season keeper on Salah,bar the 2 games v the bus


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,335 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Zanka out injured for Huddersfield
    Second choice keeper in goals

    Salah has had the armband all week, but the closer to the weekend the more I'm being tempted by Aguero against Huddersfield.
    It's just that nagging thought of pep possibly rotating that's holding me back. I guess he's put the fear of Jesus in me

    Not that much difference between their two keepers.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 551 ✭✭✭elbyrneo


    Tosun. A little left field.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,878 ✭✭✭Pogue eile


    Had it on Mendy all week but have chickened out and went with the tried and tested Salah...............I'm so vanilla :(

    There are weeks to do it
    I don’t think this is one
    But who knows ........MNF and palace have a good record at home to pool I think

    He who dares Rodney he who dares


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 519 ✭✭✭splashuum


    I captained Aguero. Could see Pep starting Jesus though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭TaytoCrisps


    Tempted by Mahrez . Aguero more than likely

    Liverpool have won the last 4 at Selhurst Park, scoring 10 in the process.

    Not sure I'd be captaining the player who will be the direct opponent of Mohamed Salah tbh!

    Tosun home to Southampton with richarlison and sigurdsson and Walcott behind. Everton looked good going fwd despite going down to 10 men.

    Yes have better options. But have a feeling there will be goals.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,511 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    I'm going to try and win friends with Salahd


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,872 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Going for Aguero, I don't believe the fuss around Kun getting rested as FPL is big business these days and a journo publishing an article around a Kun rest gets plenty of clicks on Twitter, clicks mean cash for journos these days.

    Going with Aguerooooo now I think.

    FWIW I think Liverpool will beat Palace but I don't see it being a Salah inspired goal fest. West Ham were brutal last week too so maybe Liverpool might not be quite as good as people think yet.

    Worried about Pep rotation alright but surely if Aguero gets any decent time at all he will do serious damage

    Tempted to do the same. I know I've Kun but it's tempting to go tosun. Also Vardy is an option
