He had 8 chances the last day
Played really well
I'm considering him.CurrentVC with Kane C
it's gonna be one of those 2 or Anderson......??

Salah for me, even though I just got in Kane. 3 double digit hauls in the last 4 for Salah, he's pretty much guaranteed to start, and Arsenal haven't shown much sign of being able to defend.

sheroman01

Salah for now but another hard call. Kane and Son other good options. Arsenal do look terrible at the back and Wolves have only conceded more than 2 goals only once this season.

extra gravy

Salah. Son would be first choice but rotation fear puts me off again.

I'm hoping Poch has no problem tiring him out with his trip to Asia coming up. Beginning to doubt this now looking at the poll, but I do allow myself one captain punt a year for fun

gammygils

Kane. But could be tempted by Pogba

Does he really want Son to go off to the competition tired either. Especially since they'll likely run the legs off him. Maybe could give him a breather once he returns to the club.

Not the thread for it but - pool have two relatively hard games coming up. Spurs can see it as a chance to close the gap on pool - 2 losses to pool and 2 wins for spurs and it’s an open race at the top. Son is arguably their most important player at the moment - surely it would be madness for him to rest him for the next two games?

Nice to be back to the comfort of Salah auto-captain again.

Son won't be rotated. He had his rest a couple of GWs ago.

I don't have him though, so easy for me to say.

spock.

Milner being ruled out means Salah on pens.

I think he has enough going for him to be my pick this week.

Porthallian

Hazard. Troll me baby

Green&Red

I’d love to have the balls to captain Son over Kane. 57 points in the five weeks since I’ve brought him in, the mans a hero

Mr.Nice Guy

I'm going with Salah. I reckon Arsenal are in for a tough evening.

If your options Son and Kane, it's Son all day long, I would have thought Salah, Hazard, Martial, or Anderson would have been more of a coin toss with Son.

Personally agree with G&R. No way would I be Captaining Son over Kane if I own both. In that case why would I own Kane given his price tag.

Son fear of rotation here also.

I own Salah Son Kane and I'm playing it 'safe' with Kane.

Son is the form player in the league so sometimes you need to ignore player prices and adapt. His returns are better than Salah lately so it doesn't mean Kane is not worth owning.

Ninthlife

Ive two teams

Pogba in one and Felipe Anderson in the other

munster87

Pereira, not really, but I’d like to

Surely that logic makes no sense, last week you captained Kane, yet you have Salah who is more expensive than Kane. Why own Salah if your not going to Captain him at home to Newcastle?


Price tags should be irrelevant when you are choosing a captain. You should be basing it on form and likelihood to score big in a particular week.


I also own Salah, Son and Kane, along with Anderson and Pogba and outof them, purely based on form, Kane would be ranking last in a table of options. In addition if you watch any amount of game time he has been falling deep this season compared with last. I'm happy enough to have him in my team as if he does score at least I get the points, but also because I don't really see any other strikes worth having atm.

I chose Kane ahead of Salah as I had a slight fear of him being rested in an easy game for Liverpool.

I haven't watched much of Spurs this season but I'm aware of the dropping deep. But he's still on penalties so to me that's slightly worth more.

Personally don't think Pogba should ever be considered for captaincy

I plan to hold Salah against Arsenal he's the most likely points scorer but I still don't fancy him outscoring Kane against Bournemouth

Rikand

Salah I think


i have kane. but I just dont like him at "home"

sojustrutz

Transferred in Sergio so will give it to him - could go horribly wrong but could be a huge differential for me.

Green&Red

So yer saying I should stick it on Sonny?

Wilberto

Pretty much, yes. Form over value seems to be the general consensus.

gammygils

Voted Kane here but went with Pogba

thewools

Still deciding.. either go with salah or kun. Think kun could go mental away to Southampton

sheroman01

Hilarious the difference a manger makes - imagine seeing Pogba have 13 votes for captain a few weeks back :pac:

sheroman01

Salah for now. But I really might switch to Kane. I think it'll be a vital decision depending on who rival picks. He picked Kane last week, I picked Salah, which kinda makes me feel he'll pick Salah this week.

bantee

Switched from Kane to Son, tight call though

SickBoy

Agüero

Flyer29

Still can’t work Salah into my team so it’s Kane again for me this week

Benimar

Kane, without too much confidence

Other options were Salah or Hazard.

SlickRic

I'm going Salah, but it's a perfect GW for an Anderson or Mitrovic type punt.

Spurs could hockey most teams in the League at the minute, but Wolves are usually solid enough so should be tough for Spurs, and Palace are the same for their Chelsea game. So picking Kane, Son or Hazard isn't quite as obvious as it might be some weeks.

West Ham could do damage to Burnley, who are a shambles, and Huddersfield are always going to concede away from home, so Mitrovic should do something as he's Ranieri's favourite weapon as Fulham are going quite direct.

The disclaimer is that I would pick Son if I had him though.

Well I went for it, both working out but hopefully Son can stick one himself

Glad now I didn't captain that clown kane.
