I have a gut feeling, although it might turn out to be indigestion...

Really tough one. Not a standout TC for me though so going to save that until later on in season. Currently KDB but not a bullish shout. City have the potential to steamroll a team at home sometime soon, maybe Palace will be that team. Think the Villa game is tougher though. Giving Cancelo the armband is tempting if he was guaranteed to start both. How he hasn't scored or assisted in the last few is astonishing. Don't think I'll have to bottle to give him the armband though - I'll see how I feel closer to 11!

Salah TC....who's with me so we can form a preemptive support group?

But Spurs are playing a game of score one goal and sit back and defend deep for the rest of the game. It limits the potential of multiple goals.

City aren't exactly racking up the goals either though

Any thoughts on captaining Foden? Don’t have Kdb and don’t fancy Bruno or Salah this gw.

Foden is very boom or bust. There has typically not been a reliable trend between him getting to start games even when he has played well in the last game.

He was been great against Chelsea and Brighton, but if I was asked to do a coin flip bet I would be saying that the odds of him starting both games are a little bit lower than 50%.

I think you should captain Salah. I can’t imagine they haven’t been busting a gut since that Southampton to make sure to be back to their best in time for this United game.

They haven’t actually lost a home league game since Salah joined the club, so while that West Brom blank stings fresh in the mind, he had 29 points from his last 3 home games before that.

Rather than isolate it to a couple of games, a better statistic might be that he has 58 points from 7 home games this season.

Overall, he has actually done similarly well away also, but I still think 2 home games is the perfect opportunity for him to get back firing again, so I think De Bruyne is the only legitimate rival to him for the armband this week.

With 2 hours to go to deadline, I’m leaning towards Salah.

I wouldn’t say it is that much more real, relative to the other games this week. The training ground opens today, and you wouldn’t anticipate them letting anyone into it now who wasn’t confirmed as negative following the rigorous controls that will have been put in place following the outbreak.

I thought it opens tomorrow?

Triple captain Salah.

Seriously thinking of triple capt KDB now but trying so hard not to do it.... Very silly with the villa situation to do it but it feels right... I can keep it till another opportunity later in the season...

Last night I was fairly set on not playing TC. But thinking that if I don't use it now, I'll more than likely want to be playing BB for the next double; so unless there's another double, I could be playing TC in a single GW. Not majorly against that, think it's even a good option to have for the GW if you need a last throw of the dice to get up the ranks. Anyone have any thoughts about using TC in single vs DGW? Has anyone still got TC and BB and playing none in this DGW?

Have both and hardly considered playing them until this morning. Still think I'll hold it, not a lot of form between KDB and Salah and covid postponements are still seriously possible.

I can't choose between
Foden (fixtures, good form last 2 games)
Fernandes (season form)
Vardy (gut? Which is always wrong)

If no Salah then I would go Vardy.

Thing about Salah and Vardy is that they are both rested, they are both vital to their teams, both on penalties and fixtures while not great arent exactly horrific. Vardy should easily have 1 + attacking return in each of his games
