    I voted Hazard but am now 90% certain of brining in ItchyNacho andf captaining him. City home to Bournemouth has all the hallmarks of being a bloodbath.




    (or a 1-0 loss)

    On Lukaku at the moment, don't know if it's going to stay there though

    if everyone could stop captaining Iheanacho that would be great.

    I've 500k places to claw back this weekend.

    Goodnight.
    much love.
    Terry Tibbs.

    He's not even sure to start.

    He started last week and did v well.
    He was rested mid week for CL

    Nothing is certain in this game but I'd be amazed if he doesn't start.

    I'd expect him to start too but I'm trying to learn from my first year playing (last year) and punting on a captain is a no no from now on.

    I want my captain to be as close to guaranteed 90 minutes as possible. I know he could score 4 in the first half but KDB or Nolito could also start up front with your man on the bench.

    I'd say he's sure to start, but I'd be surprised if gets 90 minutes. Having said that, I would probably take the chance if I was wildcarding next week.

    Ah he will start,it worked so well against United goal and assist,and brought on for 10 mins in the Champions League and scores.
    I might be mistaken but didn't Sterling run riot last season against Bournemouth,might be different and cap him.He didnt play the whole 90 mins either and say he will get game time.

    This is a very interesting week, not many stand-out options. Currently leaning towards Hazard but that could easily change.

    Gone with Iheanacho. The sort of thing that usually back fires, but WC'ing after this gw, so now seems a good time to take a punt.

    Ah sure, I remember Benteke being heavily captained against Bournemouth and Norwich this time last season.

    last gameweek was his only big points haul to date. expensive players like Zlatan, Aguero, Hazard, Sanchez, Costa had got a headstart on him in that regard so they were already in a lot of teams. I really rate KDB and he could do very well this weekend but simply put @10.5m it's hard for a lot of managers to fit him in to their teams, moreso when you think quite a lot will be looking to get Aguero back in for next gameweek and the funds needed for that

    I don't think many of us would jump straight from owning Sanchez last GW to KDB this week. He's a good option, but I'm not sure I want to spend 23.5m on Man City attack from next week on. Especially since before ManU he had one shot in the box.

    "My position is totally different from last year. It's not too defensive, but I know I will be more of a creator but have to help my team-mates up front more to get them the ball. They will do more of the finishing this year but I really enjoy it so far.

    4 goals 2 assists in. 4 games vs hull
    can't decide between himself and ibra
    or even benteke
    Ibra is the safe choice a week after I lost ground ..,.....but the others could help me shoot back up

    Similar to you, I've been to and froing between Ibra and Sanch. Tbh, it's a coin toss. Sanch has the form against Hull and scored in his last two away games (Watford, PSG)

    Ibra, could've had a few against City, he's 4 in 4 premiership games, he was on for 15 mins last night and nearly scored.

    In the end I've gone for Ibra, simply on the basis that United need to win and Watford have conceded far more that Hull.
