[FPL] - Captain Gameweek 29

Anyone captaining the Pog?

Swansea don't concede all that many home or away. My opinion of Fulham, despite some performances to the contrary, is that they aren't exactly an exciting, free flowing team in attack.

Therefore I'm steering clear of my Fulham players for captain.

I wouldn't exactly say that. I seem to remember them conceding 5 away to Blackburn. And Fulham are one of the highest scoring teams at home. I'm putting it on the Pog anyway.

They conceded 4 against Blackburn, 4 against Chelsea, 4 against City and 3 against Norwich twice. In their other 23 PL games this season, they have conceded 2 goals or less. They've only conceded 34 goals this season in 28 games, fairly good going if you ask me.

They're a team who have a good system of defence and I can see Fulham struggling to break them down. Fulham have scored 5 against Wolves, 6 against QPR and 5 against Newcastle.

Of those three teams, I'd count Newcastle as the only one with any decent sort of defence.

I could easily be proven wrong but I just don't fancy handing the armband to a Fulham player myself this weekend.

Don't get me wrong Swansea are a very good team, but they've conceded 10 at home compared to 24 on the road, they're very much a strong home team, much like Fulham. It's anyone's guess what the result will be, but if you're to go on statistics, they point very much to a home win. We'll see though. I'm goin Pog simply coz I'm not convinced Rooney will start v Wolves and I don't want to take that risk, also I'm not convinced VP will find it easy against an Everton team with 4 home clean sheets on the trot, including against City and Chelsea, so Pog it is for me. Nothing's guaranteed in this game though, we'll see how it pans out after the weekend

Everton might not field a full strength team against Arsenal just like Liverpool after their cup game .

You're right, that's another factor, the fa cup games, we won't know how that pans out til nearer the time. Everton have over four days rest between games though.

:pac: Captain change panic button here :pac: :pac: :pac: :pac: :pac: :pac:

In fairness, nobody could have predicted that result. I didn't expect Fulham to score many but I didn't expect them to lose 3-0 either.

I haven't seen any highlights of the game but apparently Jol started without his wide players like Duff and Fulham tried to play through the middle alot which just didn't work.

I left Sig on the bench. Praying Valencia doesn't start or play today now.

OOPS! Anyone got any news on Rooney,if he doesn't play I have Sig to come on.(If not I hope Cleverly doesn't play)

My prayers were answered,no Cleverly today.

Captain choices in the captain poll, match news in match day thread, personal team discussions in "rate my team", transfer discussion in transfer thread, and most all else in general discussion.

So where do i post the "no bonus for Rooney" rant?! Is that general discussion?

I've added a thread imaginatively titled "Stop ranting about fooking bonus points, the system isn't going to change".
