FPL GW 9 Captain

It would probably have to be one of the Arsenal squad, I'm guessing.

jolim24601 · 22-10-2013 02:55AM

Sturridge has scored a goal in 8 of 9 gameweeks. That's like, RVP-like.

gimmick · 22-10-2013 10:34AM

Ozil. And I am not 2nd guessing myself this time.

FutureGuy · 22-10-2013 11:05AM

It's either Ozil or Suarez. Not sure yet.

Necronomicon · 22-10-2013 11:54AM

Had been pretty sure about captaining Suarez until last night. If Fulham can do that to Palace, they could be in for a serious rodgering from Arsenal. So I'm now considering Giroud or Ozil.

Exactly the same. At 745 last night, it was 100% Suarez.

Miguel_Sanchez · 22-10-2013 01:00PM

Giroud for me.

8-10 · 22-10-2013 01:21PM

Flip-flopping between Ozil and RVP, same as last week (where a coin flip led me to captain Ozil)

I would say right now that Ozil is more likely but RVP is in scoring form too

Cantona's Collars · 22-10-2013 01:23PM

Ozil all the way,even if he doesn't score,he's an assist machine.Imagine Arsenal scoring 4 and somebody like Wilshere getting 3 with Giroud hitting everything bar the back of the net.
Just look at Swansea the other day,scored 4 & Michu not involved in any.

Same team picked Sunday evening. Suarez captained. Giroud VC. Said that was it I would not look at it again ........but now........hhhhmmmmm

Like two or three here and I'm sure a lot more; Suarez or Ozil for me, maybe even Giroud/Sturridge?! Decisions...

If Wegner decides after last night that CP are even more of a soft touch that he thought and decides to rest Ozil... I'd imagine he'll take no risks and play at full strength to push on at the top but sure we'll see.

duffman21 · 22-10-2013 03:58PM

Thinking Ozil myself... but Suarez @ home to West Brom, RVP and Rooney @ home to Stoke and at a push Remy away @ Sunderland have all given food for thought...

I wonder, he obviously felt Ramsey would benefit from a rest last week, he had to play 65 minutes for a finish, will play again tonight, Wenger could well look to mix it up a little again on Saturday, a lot may depend on whether Wilshere plays in Europe, if so he will likely be "rested" at the weekend, I don't think Ozil is bulletproof either as Cazorla can play in that position, Wenger will have to back some of his second choicers against the likes of Palace if he and they are to keep up challenges on a number of fronts, schedule isn't that hectic yet though.

Mint Sauce · 22-10-2013 04:24PM

Having Giroud, Lukuka, and Sturridge in my squad, I think I'll give it to Ramsey again.

Even when he's being rested he's on fire.

moreau · 22-10-2013 09:37PM

Despite the Arsenal temptation, sticking to my guns and going with Suarez as planned when brought in a few weeks back.

Fowler87 · 22-10-2013 09:47PM

Its probably gonna be my last week before I ditch RVP so **** it lets hope he gives me a dilemma with the armband this GW!

Are you sure? He could have a quiet day this week. Like he did this evening against Dortmund

There's a big difference between Dortmund and Palace!

extra gravy · 23-10-2013 11:21AM

Tempted by Michu, he has to start scoring again at some stage.

I don't think I can ever forgive that moment around 5 o clock last Saturday when I checked my phone to see Swansea had scored 4 and then checked the FPL match stats, he was my captain but he'll have a long wait before he gets that honour again.

AdMMM · 23-10-2013 11:29AM

I'd much rather pick Michu AFTER he has a good week and is beginning to find form again, especially when there are so many other consistently performing players out there at the moment.

Feck off.

Golden rule is you pick a form player rather than someone who you think should find it sooner or later.

roryc · 23-10-2013 01:21PM

I can't understand why Michu hasn't come close to last season. Still going to give him a last chance against West Ham.

He's scored 5 in 11 games, it's just that most of them were in Europa league. That's pretty much the same ratio as last season.

TaytoCrisps · 23-10-2013 04:27PM

It's a good thing United arent performing or Rooney/RVP would make it an even tougher choice . Thinking Suarez This week . Had Ozil last week as captain and Giroud VC . Giroud will find goals again soon in the league so he is a close second for captain

km79 · 23-10-2013 08:02PM

Rooney is flying so far tonight.....hhhhmmmmm

tom_k · 23-10-2013 09:14PM

Would like to risk it on Ramsey but I really think he'll be rested. Gonna go with Giroud...

Looks back to his Best BUT did not score from 3 good chances .......when he does get one he will go on a run of goals ......

Rikand · 23-10-2013 10:01PM

Will the change of manager at palace sway anyone away from picking an arsenal player this week ?

gimmick · 24-10-2013 10:00AM

No. Palace are a Championship side minus their best 2 Championship players from last season.
