They said it’s an assist on Twitter so it will be added in time

I think it's very easy to say this giving that he's not starting - I could be equally sayng why do you still have Ali - he has 1 return in the last 6 GW's and no double digit scores, in the same period Sterling has 3 goals and assist - which saw him get 2 double digit scores.

Or why do you still have Zaha, or why did you sell Ings. People make decisions for a number of different reasons. If Sterling was playing today he could get 2/3 goals - then next GW folk be saying he has 3 double digit scores in last 6/7 games, he's back on form etc.

Agreed, hes one of the best players in the world, of course he's a prime option

Kbd goal needed to punish the vardy captainers!

I want Mahrez! Watch Pepe roulette spin into action now over next few GWs when we all get him in.

None of them cost nearly 12 million
Which means owners have the choice of literally every other midfielder in the game bar salah or mane
If I pay 12ml for a player he has to be captaincy material
No way I would risk captaining sterling any week

Sterling is the 4th highest scoring midfielder in the game, what are ye on about? He's nearly guaranteed over 200 points a season

Don't have KDB captained, not sure what kind of score I want him to get. Everyone seems to have him

I was so close to getting him in the wildcard but opted for KDB as less eh, rotationable. Should have gambled on him as a differential though.

Only Messi Mbappe and Lewandowski scored more goals than Sterling in 2019 and he does that without even being a prime finisher

Again just cause you wouldn't, doesn't mean that having Sterling is a mistake, How many times this season have you put the armband on Mane for instance? Given his price and form you must be doing it regularly - but I rarely see you posting that you have him as captain? If not why not - given his form?

As others have said, Sterling is one of the best players in the league, and anyone with him have just got unlucky that he's not starting today. Simple.

Indeed he is
A while 2 points ahead of Richarlison who is 3 million cheaper
And 5 points ahead of Maddison’s who is 4 million cheaper
Almost 1/5th of his points came in gw1
Top point scoring mid is a team mate of his who started the season 2.5 ml cheaper

It not as simple as he gets lots of points
It’s like the Kane debate this season

There are better ways to spend that money than on a player you can’t risk captaining

KdB is too consistent and too highly owned to go without though, it's nearly an option to have both for instance. Mahrez is great value but pep roulette can just make it annoying to have him, whereas KdB as you say is less rotationable.

Arguably in the world

How is Jesus leading the bonus?
His assist hit off him for Mahrez and Kevin's ball couldn't have been better for his goal. Other than that, he has been poor when compared to the rest of the City attack.

KDB''s points will now start hurting with the captainers.

After Messi he might be the first player on the World XI teamsheet

Mahrez could become a must have type of player again.

Took the armband off him for Martial. Need him to stay quiet in the second half

He said after, CR7 would be before Messi;)

Anyone else own KDB and see their rank plummet with every contribution from him?
