Want to get in early to include TC options.
May be overlooked like last time.

Gun Duggan or DCL for me.

Rikand · 08-02-2021 11:42pm

I'm tempted by Bruno even though they only have one game. Man United have been so impressive away from home this season and against wba there's bound to be goals shipped

CSF · 08-02-2021 11:51pm

This is defo not a TC week IMO

bantee · 08-02-2021 11:53pm

Sterling normal captain, I dont have Gundog

CSWS101 · 10-02-2021 12:01pm

Not sure why Dias isn't listed, he's a better option than Cancelo I think. Cancelo due a rest one of the games

Also don't know why Pope isn't listed. A great option this GW.

Agree, it's not my nature to cap a gk/def but can see the merit in it. Will probably go for Gundo.

sheroman01 · 10-02-2021 2:19pm

Tough one. Either one of DCL, Gundo or Sterling. Hard to know how many minutes Sterling or Gundo will get.

CSF · 10-02-2021 2:37pm

Out of interest is anyone here not just in the ‘yeah I can see the merits of Pope this week’ and actually captaining him?

nullObjects · 10-02-2021 5:29pm

Pope TC anyone?

Probably due to a lack of faith :pac:

I'll be having a good think about it. Captain blanks last 2 weeks have halted my good run. Need to hit one this week.

sheroman01 · 10-02-2021 8:47pm

With Sterling and Gundog both starting today, it's putting me off them. Especially given their fixtures aren't the easiest. Think I'll go DCL.

keane2097 · 10-02-2021 9:20pm

Might just stick it on Bruno altogether

WHAT?!

Klonker · 12-02-2021 10:08am

Split between the safe choice Gundogan and a bit of a gamble choice Pope. Have a bit of ground to make up in my mini league so tempted by Pope.

pimpmyhat · 12-02-2021 12:47pm

Decordova Reid.

ScummyMan · 12-02-2021 3:53pm

I think I am going to triple captain Sterling. I'm treading water around 380k and need a boost, TC Kane in GW26 is the obvious option but I'm looking for something outside the box.

Its two reasonably tough fixtures on paper, but that reduces the risk of rotation imo. Saturday/Wednesday is a decent rest there also.

Spurs and Everton just proved the other night that they can be frail defensively.

You're also never likely to catch a team in form as good as City currently are.

Somebody tell me I'm not going crazy??

Good thread on this here.

Thanks, he has some excellent threads.

Have you considered a leeds attacker like raphinha in gameweek 25 for treble captain almost guaranteed to start the 2.
Might be a bit of a differential

Haha I'd be on it too if I wasn't already tied to double defence and Gundo! Yeah he's one of the better posters on there. Good luck with whatever you decide

Benimar · 12-02-2021 5:19pm

I’m giving you all fair warning. After 9 captain fails in a row, the Gun Dog is getting the armband!

Cheers for the warning, I’ll captain Fernandes so

TaytoCrisps · 12-02-2021 8:14pm

Richarlison at the moment. It had been on DCL .might change to gun by the time the deadline roles around ...

Usually, but he's talking out of his ar$e there regarding the comparison with captaining Kane in 26. You always only get one extra player from the TC chip. And playing it on a week when it's the popular regular captain doesn't reduce the effectiveness (in relation to your final OR) in the slightest. Amazing how even hardcore players can miss the point of the chip.

castletownman · 13-02-2021 12:57am

Thinking outside of the box, have given it to Lowton for now. Expecting two CS's.

passremarkable · 13-02-2021 12:59am

Richarlison

I think he was just talking about how much more of a differential it would be to play it this week though, rather than the actual value of the chip.

Ie. You’ll have 3 more Sterlings than the template team this week, but probably only one more Kane than the template team in 26.

Of course, if you captain Sterling this week and treble captain Kane in 26 you gain more of an advantage on the curve than if you’d TCed Sterling, but I suppose for someone who is way behind in money leagues, you might be more willing to go all in on Sterling this week and hope the popular Kane choice fails.

Sticking it on bruno. Just too much uncertainty in my dgwers starting their easier first game
