    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

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

    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.

    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.

    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
