    I actually might punt on Zaha

    He'll be nailed on, at home, already beat WHU 2-1 earlier in the season.

    A risk but need to make some gains and could be a decent week to do it.

    Roberto might be starting
    If we hear he is I’ll be captaining zaha

    I'm gonna give Mahrez a bash.


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


    Really undecided, but might actually be the week for Lundstram (WAT)

    It's between Rashford (my captain last week who hasn't scored since I bought him) and Zaha for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Porthallian


    If the ban gets overturned, maybe Son :P


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


    Kane

    Watford have been good last two games

    Richarlison for the punt or Alli for the revenge against Brighton after being beaten by Chelsea.

    That is an issue alright.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,149 ✭✭✭893bet


    Double down on Rashford I think.


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


    Mané. Scored in his last 3 vs Leicester. And Leicester looked poor against City

    They look a little jaded
    I’m probably going to sell Madison after that game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭Xcellor


    Uncaptained Vardy and gave it to Rashford last game week. Bought in Son. Last week was a pain in the hole for me. 2 more game weeks for a mini league between myself and a few from work . Only a few points in front .. got to get it right this week or I'm done!!

    All I'll say is, Watford don't seem to be mugs under Pearson.

    Should've scored a couple against Liverpool, and schooled Utd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,596 ✭✭✭✭siblers


    Probably Mané.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,152 ✭✭✭PEACEBROTHER


    Kane

    Don't know why Grealish makes votes but KDB doesn't- player of season

    He'll possibly be rested, he went off with cramp against Leicester


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


    Salah all the way

    Surely Sheff United would be the one he is rested in

    Preferably but depends if the knock needs that extra 2 days off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,654 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Might just put it back on Vardy, he's the only one I trust at the moment.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,109 ✭✭✭Minime2.5


    Vardy all the way. Livarpool will surely be feeling fatigued from flying halfway across the world and surely their luck has to end some time

    Lol.

    Luck.

    Merry Christmas all, and I'm going for Salah.

    To be fair Vardy is a good shout. Great record Vs Liverpool

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


    Talk me out of zaha
    Then talk me out of Richarlison
    And then tell me who to captain out of Alli , Abraham or Vardy :D

    Do to work why I never consider mane ......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,826 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    It's either Rashford or Mane for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,384 ✭✭✭franglan


    Tammy for me as a Dif. Have Ali, Vardy and Mane in that order too.

    Alli is 15% owned and Abraham is 35% owned so Alli would be your differential.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,996 ✭✭✭✭billymitchell


    Alli it is for me, least punty of my options

    Genuinely can’t remember a week I’ve changed captain so many times from Abraham to Alli. Currently Abraham.

    Doing the same with starting Richarlison or Cantwell. Currently, reluctantly, Richarlison.


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


    Kane leading the poll.

    That is not helping me.

    Could go either Salah or Vardy.

    One of them will run out of luck :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,578 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Pogba


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,081 ✭✭✭GetWithIt


    Also Pogba.

    Alli is 15% owned and Abraham is 35% owned so Alli would be your differential.

    A differential is a player that others in your league don't have, their owner percentages don't make a difference in individual leagues.

    It doesn't matter if Alli has 50% ownership, he would be a differential if most or all of the players in the person's league don't have him.

    At least that's my understanding of a differential player in fantasy footy.

    Agreed. In reality, we all want to win our money/friends leagues. Abraham is a large 'differential' in my leagues with friends. Probably moreso than Alli actually.

    Makes sense.

    I never really care about the money league and don’t really look at them.

    I work on my overall position so I’d be impacted that way.

    In fairness you are doing a good job at it... I normally flounder in table before getting a run of luck and finish in around 1-1.5millionth (that's an achievement as far as I'm concerned).

    How do you guys even keep tabs on other people ?

    I’ve no idea who anyone is and more to the point who their team is.

    I think McBain is the only team I recognise and that’s because of his team name which I’ve now forgotten.


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


    Reluctantly giving the armband to Alli....working on the assumption that Spurs will be fired up after the Chelsea game and with Son out, Alli should be slightly more advanced perhaps (??)

    Other contenders are Abraham, Richarlison and Lordy

    I've switched to Alli. Richarlison starts for me, purely to see if he turns it on to impress Ancelotti.

    It’s Dyche I’m really concerned about.

    Not sure if the Everton players won’t spend a few games getting used to new ideas.

    That’s said I noticed Villa are 3 points above Norwich and may find a defensive performance, that they haven’t recently, to maintain that gap.

    I think Richarlison at home is the right call over Cantwell away. Although I expect the game at Villa Park to have a few goals in it.


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


    Going Abraham without any real confidence.

    It’s a bit of a mad week for captaincy. I also have Alli, Mane, KDB and Vardy, but I can make a good case against captaining any of them.

    I don’t have Kane or Rashford but (I know this will come back to bite me!) neither worry me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭nullObjects


    Captain roulette ended up on Salah
