Mane or Lukaku for me this week

Father Hernandez · 07-03-2017 03:26PM

Lukaku for me. May swap to Mane before Sat morning

Shanotheslayer · 07-03-2017 04:42PM

Mane at the moment, possible change to Lukaku Saturday morning

Trimm Trabb · 07-03-2017 05:05PM

Mane

km79 · 07-03-2017 05:08PM

Will be a tough call between mane and lukaku and may be a massive factor in the week considering the likely low scoring

PARlance · 07-03-2017 05:47PM

(C)iggy at the moment even though he's away. Will probably change. Just want to use Ciggy if I'm being honest.

CSF · 07-03-2017 07:59PM

Lukaku for definite. West Brom haven't been a defensive stronghold at all for most of this year.

pimpmyhat · 07-03-2017 08:03PM

It's hard to look past lukaku.
Liverpool mid also a strong option but choosing the right one is the problem.

Iused2likebusts · 07-03-2017 11:49PM

Mane or firmino

spock. · 07-03-2017 11:56PM

Mane.

Rikand · 08-03-2017 01:29PM

class CaptainMane

If mane is playing a top 6 team, captain him.
Else don't captain him.

Fake News!

Have you actually had a look at his returns? He has had a lot of very big scores against non Top 6 clubs.

Sooner or Later · 08-03-2017 03:31PM

Torn between Lukaku and Mane

Will probably go with the troll given the unpredictability of Pool midfielders

Crucial week for getting it right when I only have 8 playing

Cartman78 · 08-03-2017 03:55PM

Had an unsettling thought just now...Big Andy with the armband....I think I need a couple of strong painkillers and a lie-down asap

Yeah I'm wary of the Liverpool mid as captaincy options. I know explosiveness is important but they are very inconsistent. I see Lukaku as the safer option. Owning 2 Liverpool guys as I most likely will is probably enough eggs in that basket too.

gammygils · 09-03-2017 02:05PM

Llorente for me. Lukaku does fúck all when I captain him.

Alternative Facts

Its been ages since he did though (GW17) more recent history seems to indicate that I am indeed correct!

He scores well against all teams.

Build a wall and get over it!

Ease off the heroin there mate

Mike Ehrmantraut · 09-03-2017 07:00PM

Between Mane and Lukaku. Currently have it on Mane in the Liverpool midfield lottery. He seems to have good returns at Anfield and Burnley's poor away record swaying it for me.

manual_man · 09-03-2017 07:09PM

Going for Mané over Lukaku. I think WBA have the physicality in defense to shackle Lukaku, Burnley have physicality as well, but that doesn't help much against a player like Mané who's so elusive and fast. Also I fancy Liverpool will want to send a message and exact some revenge for what was an embarrassing performance and loss at Turf Moor earlier on in the season

iroced · 09-03-2017 09:04PM

The way things are generally going during DGWs & BGWs I'd say Coleman or Jakupovic are the best candidates :P.

alchemist33 · 09-03-2017 09:25PM

Will the bookies help me?

Lukaku to score anytime: evens

Mane to score anytime: evens

So, no.

CSF · 09-03-2017 09:39PM

This is a very basic and lazy analysis of what will probably be alot more complex than this, but Mane won't be well served playing against Burnley notoriously sitting really deep. His recent successes (and the majority of his successes in general in this Liverpool team) have come against teams who want to come out and play the game too, leaving space in behind. While Liverpool will surely score at least once against Burnley I think it may be somewhat of a case of the Liverpool lottery here. Lukaku for me.

Mane gets an extra pt for his goals and a point if they get a cs

spock. · 09-03-2017 10:41PM

I'll probably end up captaining Firmino just because I feel he is just as likely to get points as Mane and I'd prefer to captain the less owned player.

Green&Red · 10-03-2017 02:32PM

Coutinho is top of FFSs goals imminent table, he's my choice

manual_man · 10-03-2017 04:02PM

I'm getting this funny feeling Carroll may be the one to captain this week (Andy, just to avoid confusion). I can't bring myself to do it though

TacT · 11-03-2017 02:10AM

It's a Llorente Lukaku or Mane shootout here and only fielding 6 players I'm nervous! Probably Mane to trainwreck my season once and for all after that magnificent TC fail on Kun last week.

Scorpion Sting · 11-03-2017 02:14AM

Taking a bit of a maverick punt on Antonio.

extra gravy · 11-03-2017 02:12PM

Lukaku (c) was always the plan this week but my gut is telling me not to. Think I'll go with Mané.
