    Agueroooo


  • Registered Users Posts: 533 ✭✭✭MurDawg


    Sterling


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


    He's not in my team yet, but it will be Sergio


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,383 ✭✭✭S.M.B.


    As my choice is dicataed by the winner of both this and the FFS poll it looks like Aguero will be my captain.

    Definitely tempted to go Salah as a differential! I think Kun has a higher expected median but Salah a higher expected average. Last time i thought that though it didn't go well lol.


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


    Salah at the moment. could just go safe with the FFS poll though and go Aguero.

    the problem with that is, why do I have Salah if I can't comfortably captain him against Huddersfield?

    You make a valid point. If Klopp says Salah is fit to play then I may have to reconsider my strategy.

    For me he is default unless another heavy hitter has a good fixture and kun at home to Burnley definitely fits the bill! I wish Salah had a harder fixture so it was a clearer choice!

    Kun VC, just in case.

    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,127 ✭✭✭The real mccoy 91


    Sterling's international minutes worry me so it's auto kun


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    Lacazette


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,691 ✭✭✭Taxuser1


    Are Burnley worse than last 2 years? In 70 minutes i cant get that Aguero is really that much of a cert scorer against generally a tight defensive unit.

    They are totally different prospect now. They've allowed the most shots so far this season.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,228 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Thinking Hazard as a differential.

    United can't defend. He's in great form. Other captain options are in questionable form and/or possible limited minutes.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,596 ✭✭✭threein99


    Aguero with Lacazette vice captain.

    He's my VC. He's certainly a good punt with his form and the way Man U have been defending


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Aguero because of the players at my disposal but I dont think there is anyone better in general


  • Registered Users Posts: 248 ✭✭student7890


    Hazard in form and my eventual choice.
    Captaincy on mitro at present and Wilson tempts in the southcoast derby but will be haz tomorrow.

    Beam me up Scotty.

    Aguero


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,972 ✭✭✭ShagNastii


    I tried to be smart and went Salah last gameweek for a bit of differential and that fell flat.

    That said, I feel Liverpool are really going to streamroll Huddersfield. Might play safe with Aguero.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,064 ✭✭✭sicknotexi


    Pretty sure I'm swapping Kane out for Aguero and captaining him. Not crazy about swapping Kane out but think it has to be done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 570 ✭✭✭Stroke Politics


    Auba, Hazard or Sterling? I’m going to have to make a decision in the morning....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,886 ✭✭✭stephenl15


    Salah. No Kun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,332 ✭✭✭Always Be Closing


    Kun

    Just on Sterling, does anyone think he might not start this weekend? He played a lot more minutes than their other players during the int break and City have a important CL game in Ukraine on Tuesday, wouldn't surprise me if he was saved for that.

    It worries me the minutes he played I think he will start but could get pulled on 60 or 65 if they are comfortable

    Auba 8/15 on to score, Hazard 5/4. Sterling 5/6 on but will he have 90 mins...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,265 ✭✭✭COH


    Have Salah (who I kept for this gameweek), Kun and Hazard... currently on Salah but seems the whole world is captaining Aguero so might switch yet

    Same (except I don't have hazard)
    Hard to know whether to match the captaincy and risk missing out on opportunity to make serious gains if Salah explodes
    or
    Lose further ground by captaining a player with little form, carrying an injury and an away game over Kun at home to Burnley.......

    Now that I see it typed.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,787 ✭✭✭Benimar


    I’ve had the urge all morning to change captaincy from Aguero to Salah.

    I’m going to stick with Aguero, as my late captaincy changes are invariably disastrous, but I think Salah captained will be rewarded today.

    My biggest fear is Aguero not starting

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    Been saying all season, unless Salah is crippled with a doctors note, the captaincy stays on him. But now I also have Aguero, and he's at home to Burnley.

    But Salah could also be a fantastic differential this week, especially if he explodes, and he has to soon.

    Arrrrggggghhhhhhh.

    Aguero hasn't played in two weeks, nobody is more nailed on to start than him.

    Any other GW maybe, not this.

    Rested over the international break, may only get 60 but once he gets the HT in that time, we're good

    Last minute switch to aguero
    Felt it wasn’t worth the risk
    And it wouldn’t have been a whole lot of fun watching him score a hat trick !


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Gone with sterling. I think he can at least match aguero
