    I know it’s very unlikely to be called off but I think you’d be better off putting the VC on a player from another match just to be totally safe.

    Salah. If I had Mane it'd be him though. Trent is also tempting.

    Salah. Though KDB is tempting. He was absolutely superb against West Ham and should be further up the pitch with Dilva having got injured. There's a niggling doubt whether he'll start though with the big CL game just a few days later.

    Going to follow the crowd and switch to Salah.


    Think Ings will do better but risk to overall rank if it goes the other way too much if most players are going with Salah.

    Leicester without ndidi are far from solid so kdb is tempting as is ings... I keep getting drawn back to robertson I'm playing a scenario in my head and hes likely to be up against zabaleta should see plenty of ball as they will stick 10 men behind the ball... hmm I may sleep on it

    Ings is consistent but only one double digit haul all season would put me off captaining him. His ceiling is probably 9 points. Salah/Mané could be explosive.

    Who was that against ? ....lol... villa

    I took firmino and KDB out of my team to put in mane and PEA .... for some strange reason, I have chosen to captain ings, PEA will be changed out next week (blank) to vardy.

    Ps.... i have made plenty of odd choices for captain this season (which probably explains why I’m sitting around the 3millionth position overall)

    The logical mind would suggest a Liverpool player as safe money.

    Pep roulette may mean than mahrez May get more game time than kdb.

    I’m tempted to switch captain to Salah (mainly because H2H opposition will have Salah captained and I think the rest of my team might outscore his/hers).... I think ings will do well against villa but reading previous game report villa lost a player early in game, Southampton took control and dominated the game, grealish getting a consolation goal around the 70th min, Southampton were comfortable.

    There’s a chance some of the main players might be rested for big European games next week (Liverpool need a result at home and need every player in good form, I think mane might be the better option this week)

    Yes I agree with Liverpool and city main players maybe getting rested for cleague, so Hail Mary move for me with Bruno c and slab head vice (yes I’m a delusional Man U fan !)

    Why would Salah be benched?
    They have had a large gap between games. Next champ league is in over 2 weeks time
    You are trying to convince yourself .........
    Assume both Salah and Fernandes start. If you still think Fernandes will outscore him go for it. But Salah won't be rested
    And pick a different VC
