    Sorry, forgot to add other option in the poll


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


    Salah. We're going to be hammered.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Kane


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


    Kane.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,300 ✭✭✭✭Father Hernandez


    Salah at the moment.

    Could switch to Kane last minute and be disappointed for the whole weekend and give out to myself why didn't I captain Salah

    Kane

    Even if you get Haz?


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


    On Hazard atm


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


    Probably Kane again. I think he's blanked 5 times as captain for me but I have a good feeling about the upcoming fixture so hoping he can regain his goalscoring form.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,113 ✭✭✭the whole year inn


    Hazard


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,520 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    Salah. Don't have Hazard but Mo well capable.

    Ye I'm captaining Kane next two .


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

    Stick with Hazard I think. Don't wanna switch and get burned


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,432 ✭✭✭✭Green&Red


    no Sanchez?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    It's a flip hot Hazard vs a rested Kane up against arguably the worst defence in the league vs a very consistent Salah who has attacking returns 7 matches in a row now.

    Not sure there's any other genuine candidates.

    I've gone with Kane. I do think that Spurs and Kane have suffered from fatigue. Stoke have consistently conceded away from home and the 7-2 defeat against City is factoring into my thinking. I do think Kane has the potential for a monster score, although on recent form you would have to suspect a greater possibility for a blank.

    Hard to take it off Hazard given how well he's playing but I think it's going to be Kane for me.


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


    Kane I reckon


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,952 ✭✭✭Morzadec


    Seriously starting to reconsider Kane. Spurs have only scored more than 1 goal at Wembley once in the league this season.

    Liverpool are banging them in.

    Salah or Coutinho (if I bring him in) are very tempting.

    Yep...Kane and Spurs in general are far from convincing lately.

    Have Salah and Coutinho so one of them will be getting the armband


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,043 ✭✭✭steve_r


    Just brought in Hazard.

    Form over fixtures makes me want to back him.

    Kane got a rest last night but spurs really aren't playing well in the league.






    I'm going to regret this, I know


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,916 ✭✭✭2nd Row Donkey


    I've got a good feeling Kane will come good this weekend.




    *the same good feeling I've had for the last 5 weeks.

    Significant snow possible in the North West on Sunday where the two big matches are on.

    Probably only a tiny chance of it being a factor as pitches are very resilient these days and any postponements are usually only because of road/path conditions outside.

    But in general at this time of year it's usually not a good idea to have a C/VC combo in the same game or even the same shire.

    I thought it was all about form over fixtures ?

    Kane leading Hazard in the poll is fixture over form no ?

    West Ham will be without 1 and could possibly be without 3 of their first choice central defenders. Fonte is out with Reid and Collins struggling to be available. Even if they are available they won’t be fully fit.

    So their back 3 could be Ogbonna, Rice and Cresswell.

    Also looks like a back 4 for Spurs and I’m not sure how much this will impact Kane but I thought the wingback formation suited him better ?

    Could be a case of Hazard being less-owned than Kane in here so far. I have both and going with Haz again :cool:

    Sneakily checking ff news at a family dinner and this literally made me snort out laughing!

    It’s definitely not all about form over fixtures though in any case. Like all other things being equal I’ll take the form player over the player with the good fixture but it definitely depends on how good the form is and how good the fixture is.

    Well if we get West Ham team news before the deadline then it will directly impact my decision.

    I won’t hold my breath though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 932 ✭✭✭Markx


    Hardest captaincy selection of the season so far. Logic says Hazard to me, but does he start for sure? Captained Kane against Liverpool, Palace and Swansea so have had the rough with the smooth. Stoke(H) holds so much promise.

    If Unsworth was still 'in charge' at Everton, it would be Salah but Sam revels in tacticing games like these.

    Right now its Haz > Kane > Salah but in 12 hours who knows who will be in the seat when the music stops. :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 91 ✭✭timber train


    Ok ok here is the Stats
    Harry Kane
    6 goals 1 assistance .
    In his last 3 games v Stoke
    And all by the same scoreline in them 3 Games ( 4-0 )
    But then Wembley came along to spoil everything .
    At least if i have a bad season in Fantasy .i can blame Wembley .

    KANE CAPTAIN SO ☺


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,672 ✭✭✭elefant


    Every time Hazard has played in the last month he's been electric. Probably the most dangerous player in the league when he's fit, imo. And he only played 10 minutes two games ago. And he has a fixture against a truly dreadful team.


  • Registered Users Posts: 91 ✭✭timber train

    Regret captaining Haz. Had been impressed with West Ham against Man City should have gone with my gut although my vc is Zaha who you're ALWAYS reluctant to captain :/


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,582 ✭✭✭NoviGlitzko


    Drunkenly switched from Hazard to Kane as C. Who says drunken FF choices can't work eh


  • Registered Users Posts: 91 ✭✭timber train


    Good move in drunken situation .i went with the stats and harry continued his form against a woeful stoke .
    Brighton at home next for harry .
    Looks like a new chapter for harry .a new record he has to set .
    How bout a hat trick v brighton to start it off .☺☺☺kane will remain my capkane once more ☺
