    Leaving it on Salah.

    Goal and assist. Wasn't the sharpish, missed one or two chances, the Hoffenheim game will bring him on again and a HOME debut. No brainer to stick to my guns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,301 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Kane for now.

    Tempted by Firmino though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    Currently Lukaku but might bring in Vardy or a Pool player and captain them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,254 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Voted Kane but then looked at poll results here and on FFS and knowing a lot will stick on my work league I may play safe


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,706 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Will leave it with Big Rom I think

    Leaving the armband on Lukaku I think. No point in taking huge captaincy risks this early in the season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Lukaku for now. I fancy Kane against Chelsea but will probably stay safe with rom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 738 ✭✭✭Gaillimh1976


    Waiting to see how Salah does tonight, but probably Salah


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,685 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    60/40between Lukaku and Salah/Firmino.

    Liverpool playing midweek is whyI am more likely to give it to Lukaku.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Lukaku to be Safe

    Otherwise it would be Firmino.

    Lukaku currently at nearly 50% in the FFS captaincy poll (nearly 60% here so far), and now owned by 51.5% of teams. Swansea conceded almost 30 goal attempts and I think 16 in the box vs Southampton.

    I have Vardy and had him in my team pretty much with this GW in mind, but with Lukaku looking good and running away with the polls I think this is a shield moment.

    Am I being sensible or chicken shít?? :)

    Chicken sh1t. Put it on the Swansea keeper :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,288 ✭✭✭✭gammygils


    Salah for me Kane vice


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭d-gal

    I got vardy this week with a view to possibly captaining him but yeah think I will also be a sensible chicken sh1t.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,714 ✭✭✭Cartman78


    Lukaku again for me....Firmino is tempting as well but probably the riskier option with a European game on the horizon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,301 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    I'm definitely in the minority but the captaincy is on Kane for me for now.

    2 years ago when Courtois was sent off in Chelsea's opening fixture, they drew 2-2 at home to Swansea, lucky enough to do so too.

    This was the beginning of the end for Mourinho at Chelsea even after they had won the PL league. They lost away to City 3-0 the following week.

    2 years on, opening fixture after winning the PL, they get 2 men sent off and lose to Burnley at home 3-2. They then have to play Spurs away from home.

    Deja Vu?

    Kane Hat trick incoming please :pac:

    And you may also add that it is Mourinho's second season at MU. Mourinho's famous/infamous second seasons always being the successful ones where his teams run smoothly.

    As we always say this game is a marathon, not a sprint. And in a marathon, you don't take unsensible risks. When the finish is far away and everyone's economising his breath, you don't try to be the smart one with a crazy breakaway. You stay calm and prepare your attack for when the situation will be more favourable for you ;). And then you sting :D!

    I'd like to change my vote from Kane to lukaku :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Lukaku.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,667 ✭✭✭Klonker


    Went for Kane last week and it backfired so I'll play it safe with Lukaku this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 738 ✭✭✭Gaillimh1976


    Voted Salah but with that high a % will have to be Lukaku


  • Registered Users Posts: 458 ✭✭Xaniaj


    Lukaku for me as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Rom


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,672 ✭✭✭ElTel


    Kun but Jesus is calling. MNF!!!
    Firmino vc atm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,164 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    It's gotta be Lukaku again. He's owned by the vast majority of serious players so if he does the business again and I don't captain him I'll lose a lot of ground. I can take risks later in the season but for now will play safe with the armband.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    I'd love to go Salah, and it's the type of week I probably would if it was in say halfway through the season or maybe even in a few weeks time when things have settled right down, but there's no point taking a chance in not captaining Lukaku given the ownership and captain's polls.

    Toss up between Rom and Firmino, Liverpool could put Palace to the sword

    Kun is the bookies favorite if that makes you feel better

    I agree with almost all of this but i think i'm going to go with Salah. Not sure how Mane being out will effect him but in pre season he did well without him. I started bad, 61 pts, so i'm already 20 odd pts down in most leagues but it's early yet, if i end this week being 40-50 down there are still 36 weeks to get it back!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,342 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Lukaku.

    Jesus if I was feeling a little punty.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    I'm on Lukaku and I detailed why in my previous post.


    But I've just realised the City game is on Monday Night. The bee in my bonnet whispers to me that an Aguero MNF (C) could cause serious damages :D....




    Oh and I just saw that the United game is the 12:30 one. It is written. Lukaku blanks and Aguero gets a hat-trick. But I still won't risk it since the only time I backed my nebulous theory (well it was largely backed by actual facts!) it backfired terribly for me :p.

    By the way, I'm very happy that my MNF curse seems to have come to an end and that reason prevailed over falsely statistical repeated coincidences :D.

    Thought it would be interesting to have a look at the boards.ie top 8 captaincy picks and their score as captain

    1. Lukaku - 122 votes - 12
    2. Salah - 19 votes - 2
    3. Firmino - 15 votes - 4
    4. Vardy - 11 votes - 4
    5. Kane - 7 votes - 2
    6. KDB - 6 votes - 4
    7. Aguero - 5 votes - 4
    8. Mane - 4 votes - 16

    Lukaku obviously the most captained but those who captained Mane reaped the rewards
