    The pukki monster, against a shaky man utd Defence

    Or .... anyone against palace (think they have 11 squad members on injury bench)

    Half thinking Jimi against a dodgy Newcastle defence which is also carrying several injuries. I don't thinkfform really comes into it with him, he is always a threat in every game and would be a nice differential.

    I also have Traore so could go with him if I really want to go high risk!

    How did Vardy and Leicester look last night?

    He has the armband for the minute but Jiminez is also in contention

    Pukki is currently nursing both a hamstring strain and a toe problem. No way I'd even consider him.

    Other - Traore. 2 goals and assist with max bonus points in last 2 fixtures at home against better opposition (Man City & Spurs) than injury hit Newcastle .

    Is that not his and Wolves' shtick though? Counter attackers?

    He has never scored more than one league goal in a game in England
    That’s what has stopped me captaining him before and now

    Yep ceiling isn't high enough with Jiminez. He ticks over nicely but not captainable imo.

    Hmmm I did not know that stat. I would've had both of them down as similar 'steady eddie' types and the opponents were pushing me towards Jimi. Though admittedly Vardy has shown a higher ceiling a few times this season so I'm probably just trying to get away from the obvious choice for the sake of it.

    Stats like that don't particularly bother me, he has only been in England 18 months and there has to be a first time. He gets almost as many assists as goals so is well able to get double figure hauls.

    17 goals in 19 games is better than a steady eddie, especially compared to someone with 8 in 21.

    How of all players can you land on Adama Traore to be your captain?

    Home to Newcastle. Don’t think he’s the worst choice tbh

    He got some good points v city and spurs at home. Obviously a risk but tempted

    KdB for me for the possibility of a big haul.

    Southampton aren't the whipping boys they were earliier in the season so while I think Vardy could (and probably will score), I don't think he'll run riot.

    Getting tempted by KDB myself
    But
    it is Vardy's first league game since baby was born AND it is his bday apparently
    so surely at least one goal.......

    Jaysus I had him down as a possible bench candidate for me and now I’m wondering if I’m missing something

    Certainly wouldn't bench him but no way on God's green earth I would captain him. Ever.

    It’s him or Greenwood at the mo and if Greenwood starts I feel Norwich are much more porous than Newcastle

    There is a big IF in that sentence
    Also have a look back at Norwich's record since they have had 2 centre halves fit
    They are conceding on average only one goal a game away from home.
    Newcastle have the worst XGC for last 4 weeks and have conceded 9 in 4 games
    Play Traore

    Definitely think I'm going against the grain this week and avoiding Vardy.

    Jimenez and De Bruyne the standouts for me.

    Newcastle are struggling with injuries, shipped a good few goals the past 3 weeks, while Wolves are scoring, Jimi has always let me down when I've captained him.

    Villa have lost their keeper, Nyland did okay midweek but he was awful last year. Tough game on a heavy pitch midweek might take its toll on them. De Bruyne went off with a knock Tuesday, slight concern he might be rested.

    We have looked much more solid defensively since going 3 at the back and having Mings back though. Goal conceded expectancy should drop a bit

    Aguero. Yes its impossible to second guess pep but rested and up against a back 3 suits him better than jesus doesn't it? Or am I trying to convince myself it does...

    Salah. He's up for it and threatening every game. Opponent irrelevant.

    Is it a case of just going with the flow this week and Vardy?

    I've the band on Mane at the moment......

    Going against the brain and picking Rashford.

    Hope he doesn't upset the apple tart and turn out to be a damp squid.

    This will be the third week in a row that Vardy has been winner in captain poll by a big margin.... the previous two times... he didn’t play.

    .... this time... it should be a vardy party.

    Tough one this week, I'm not as high on Vardy as others seem to be as I expect Southampton to be a tougher nut to crack than they were in the reverse fixture. My gut says to go for Martial, but I've had captaincy fails the last 3 weeks in a row which puts me off gambling. Going to go with the crowd and hope for a Vardy party.

    Voted Vardy yesterday, but switched to Jimi this evening after reading about Southampton's defensive stats over the last 4 weeks. Was tempted by Salah too! Hardest captain pick in a while. Best of luck to all
