I know it’s very unlikely to be called off but I think you’d be better off putting the VC on a player from another match just to be totally safe.

Mane....I'm hoping he's ready to wreak furious vengeance after the sh1thousery in Madrid the other night

Actually never even considered that, might be a good shout cheers

Salah. If I had Mane it'd be him though. Trent is also tempting.

manual_man

Salah. Though KDB is tempting. He was absolutely superb against West Ham and should be further up the pitch with Dilva having got injured. There's a niggling doubt whether he'll start though with the big CL game just a few days later.

Going to follow the crowd and switch to Salah.


Think Ings will do better but risk to overall rank if it goes the other way too much if most players are going with Salah.

dont do that
Trust me
Go with someone from a different team
Ings if you have hom

The real mccoy 91

Leicester without ndidi are far from solid so kdb is tempting as is ings... I keep getting drawn back to robertson I'm playing a scenario in my head and hes likely to be up against zabaleta should see plenty of ball as they will stick 10 men behind the ball... hmm I may sleep on it

I had aguero c kdb VC last week
Game was called off
Very lucky for me it was refixed for same gameweek
Lesson learned

extra gravy

Ings is consistent but only one double digit haul all season would put me off captaining him. His ceiling is probably 9 points. Salah/Mané could be explosive.

Who was that against ? ....lol... villa

I took firmino and KDB out of my team to put in mane and PEA .... for some strange reason, I have chosen to captain ings, PEA will be changed out next week (blank) to vardy.

Ps.... i have made plenty of odd choices for captain this season (which probably explains why I’m sitting around the 3millionth position overall)

The logical mind would suggest a Liverpool player as safe money.

pimpmyhat

May go Matt Doherty as a differential

Irishphotodesk

Pep roulette may mean than mahrez May get more game time than kdb.

I’m tempted to switch captain to Salah (mainly because H2H opposition will have Salah captained and I think the rest of my team might outscore his/hers).... I think ings will do well against villa but reading previous game report villa lost a player early in game, Southampton took control and dominated the game, grealish getting a consolation goal around the 70th min, Southampton were comfortable.

There’s a chance some of the main players might be rested for big European games next week (Liverpool need a result at home and need every player in good form, I think mane might be the better option this week)

ThewhiteJesus

Yes I agree with Liverpool and city main players maybe getting rested for cleague, so Hail Mary move for me with Bruno c and slab head vice (yes I’m a delusional Man U fan !)

Yes but mane has hardly played and is now fit, I can see Salah benched, my vC would have been great last week !!

Why would Salah be benched?
They have had a large gap between games. Next champ league is in over 2 weeks time
You are trying to convince yourself .........
Assume both Salah and Fernandes start. If you still think Fernandes will outscore him go for it. But Salah won't be rested
And pick a different VC

ThewhiteJesus

Just my gut feeling km that’s all

I missed out on Salah triple captain by literally no more than a couple of seconds.

It's a gamble only if you are not Man United fan

If you are that's not a gamble at all.

It called a bias.

Mr.Nice Guy

I've gone for Salah.

I know but how many fall this way? It's still shouldn't be a concern.

With recent weather trends it should be more of one. Enough to just stick the VC on another of your great players with a good fixture. Ings or Jimenez wouldn’t have looked like such a big drop down from Mane this week, that playing it safe becomes a negative percentage play.

Of course if you’re in a position where you have to move the VC down to someone less consistent like a Martial the conversation is a bit different.

I mean obviously if it got to the point where coronavirus was a thing that could have games called off that close to here, FPL would be the least of our worries, but jaysus that would be some minefield to navigate all the same.

dahat

The direct & indirect impact of the virus is potentially massive but thats for another thread/"forum.
