    Can't decide whether to TC or hold and maybe keep it for Sanchez, possibly gw34. Either way, it will surely be better than Lukaku' TC 'haul' last season

    Is there a way to tell how many people used TC in a given week or have it used already?

    I don't know for certain, but I'd doubt it, as you can cancel up until the deadline.

    The fpl preview videos knew how many TCd Kane last week. Whilst I wouldn't expect you could see tomorrow, you might be able to see how many chips are used and therefore out of play

    FPL discovery show how many captained and tripled captained each player.
    They usually release the data about two hours after the deadline.

    If arsenal beat Lincoln they won't have a dgw in 34.

    My hope is to keep TC loyalty with Sanchez after 75 point score last year. He is more explosive than Aguero this year.

    Aguero scored more or less the same that week.

    Further to the insights from Busts re the future DGWs Arsenal's potential doubles don't look so great.

    37 will be Stoke (a) and either Leicester (h) or Southampton (a). Not bad but that's gonna be the big DGW and possibly Bench Boost time.

    Other possibilities are:
    35 Spurs (a) and either Leicester (h) or Southampton (a)
    36 Man U (h) either Leicester (h) or Southampton (a)

    I'd also fear Arsenal having little motivation by then with 4th in the bag, chances Wenger on the way out and highly likely Sanchez heading out the door too.

    So 3 out of 5 captaining Kun are using the TC chip, myself included.
    Some are saving TC for league/H2H reasons and others are waiting on Sanchez or Ibra later.
    Is the number of City in our squad a major factor in the Kun TC decision?
    Will Hackers and others with Kun only be more or less likely to play the chip?
    The same question goes for those with Kun plus 1 and Kun plus 2.

    I voted Aguero normal captain, but pretty sure I'm going to TC now. Looking at other potential TCs in later GWs has me thinking that there won't be a better combination of games than sun, STO.

    Gone with TC on Aguero. Can't see better fixtures for a TC and too much time for the likes of Sanchez to get injured and scupper the whole thing!

    The major factor is we just cannot be certain he will start both or even play close to 180 minutes

    Ibra/Sanchez would for sure and have penalties

    That's what is holding me back
    For now

    Originally voted Aguero normal captain but after reading that damned article on possible future DGWs captains, it looks like the time is now!
    Aguero (TC)

    Single Captain on Kun. Hoping there will be a better opportunity for a TC at a later date, and going by the numbers doing TC this week, it will be a nice differencal. Especially if Kun blanks.

    Go big or go home,it's like seeing a gorgeous woman at the bar and while thinking if you should talk to her you see your mate walk up and pull her.
    TC Aguero and worry about it later.

    Back and forth all morning, was heavily leaning towards normal captain but changed to TC with ten minutes to go. I had a feeling a load of people in my private leagues would see how much sense it made, not give it anywhere near the same agonising consideration, go for it, and be richly rewarded. Turns out most of them have indeed done that, so at least it'll be parity in my money league if things go badly.

    Fudge this game anyway. Kept and captained in-form Ibra as opposed to another -4 to get Kun. All last season and most of this season captain choice is destroying me. So frustrating

    Its probably far less than 160K in actual players.
    Those weird Asian dudes who create 100 new teams each week to hunt weekly/monthly prizes would have tc'ed him in all their teams.

    Only 21% of the Top 1000 teams captained him. Plenty to be gained. Not sure what Deco99 was on about really.

    I don't think so. I think 160k is the number of teams that TC'd him.
    If Aguero goes nuts (the "at best" scenario) then there will more than likely be really big gains made if you've TC'd him.

    I'd be fairly sure Sanchez has told Wenger he wants to leave. There can be no other explanation.
