    Still can't decide between Mo and Kun. It's on Mo right now, only as of last night. My thinking is that I'll have even more dread about Monday than I do in a normal week if Aguero gets a 1-pointer. Even if Aguero scores, or even gets a brace, you could still look forward to having a MNF captain that has a good chance of matching that.

    Tweets like this annoy me. So unhelpful

    Edit: Seems they deleted the tweet. It just said:

    Do not cap Aguero this week.

    You can thank me later.

    Switched to Salah. Trying to be a bit more cautious this season and happy to still own Kun if he bangs.

    Same here.

    Id rather have Salah and fail with a (highly unlikely) 4 pointer alongside 2m other Salah captainers then put it on Aguero who is still a bit of a differential so if he scores a goal or two it's still good.

    A few of the top players on Twitter are going with Salah too so that's reinforced my choice. There's a reason those guys are consistently high finishers.

    Apparently Aguero dropped for Jesus, barring an injury.

    Jamie Jackson.

    True but there's no fun in been predictable, have to mix things up and go for Kun :D

    I think my last second Kun to Salah change of captain went through.

    On Aguero. Feck Pep if he drops him. Unless of course he comes on as a sub and scores a brace

    Salah in the end. Watching the match last week when he didn't square the one-on-one to KDB i thought "Pep isn't going to like that". Together with the rumour it was enough. Still be happy if he scores since he's only at 33%.

    Well the last second captain change didn't go through. Aguero it is so.

    I'm sure the rumour probably started then. Fwiw, I can't see him dropping a leader like Kun just after KDB gets ruled out. That would be 2 big blows to the team. I'm confident*, he has the armband.


    *kinda confident

    Jesus would have squared it
    And that’s why he will never be in my team again and never in the same league as aguero as a striker

    Aguero might be different at home to Huddersfield however!! Rotation is a concern or him being taken off at 60 if they are 3-0 up.

    Yeh but he'll have a hat trick so you won't care ;)

    Close enough

    Going for Aguero, I don't believe the fuss around Kun getting rested as FPL is big business these days and a journo publishing an article around a Kun rest gets plenty of clicks on Twitter, clicks mean cash for journos these days.

    Easy say I was right but for the reasons above is why he posted such tripe.

    Honestly no, my gut and everything is telling me Kuns start. If he fails to start I can accept I was wrong and reckon he'll be subbed anyway.

    The gut is right again.
