Comparatively speaking I think this forum has done much worse this year than last. We were all on on Michu ect last year. A lot of us have been burned by toure, ramsey etc this year.

if coleman wasnt Irish Id say a lot of people would have been burned by him aswell.

Is Nastasic not about due back?

Don't think so, haven't read anything about him coming back anyway.

I've learnt my lesson. The armband won't be taken off Suarez for the season.

Same as,

Even if he isn't necessarily the best option? Suppose City were at home to Palace this week?

Pretty much, yeah.
Unless a City player is in better form than him at the time.

Risky captaining Ozil .Wenger has said he needs a rest.

have been thinking about switching ozil to silva and work ozil back in with my wildcard.
With captaincy I'm not sure about suarez this week. May go lukaku brown is suspended and o shea may be injured.

Whoever picked Remy might be on to something. I sold him last night so he's guaranteed a high score. Took a 4 point hit to shift Lallana out last week. I'm an idiot savant but without the savant bit.

This game is patience. Been sitting on Ramsey ozil and giroud solid over 70 in last few weeks although 73 this week and 77 saw red arrows but arsenal have savage fixtures and they will be differentials

Yaya is some beast, hate him, refuse to drop ozil fer or lallana for him.

Wish I had the balls to captain ozil this week. But I will weld it to Suarez till him stops scoring or headbutts an official

Difficult one. United are regaining form and Rooney's looking good for a goal at least against Hull. Man City unbeaten at home. Can Suarez change that? Currently backing Rooney for the differential, although that backfired on me a couple of weeks ago, however Liverpool away to Spurs was an easier game. Ahh too many variables.

Rooney is playing so deep though especially away from home, he's good for an assist but against villa he was everywhere but up top for most of the game and villa aren't exactly light years ahead of hull, theres not much between them this season.

Its either lui, hazard or negredo for me... if i go against the grain with lui and it works out its great but with his form it could backfire quite fast.

I'm expecting the City/Liverpool game to be a stomper, so I reckon Suarez is on course for another 10+ points. He's getting the armband, no other real contenders this week, imo, except Rooney but I don't have him so.

Will be giving the armband to Suarez.

Does anyone else think the game has got a bit boring since RVP and Aguero got injured? 90% of active players will be captaining Suarez this week and most weeks up until said two are back.

54.62 according to figures here...

Which is a great reason to make him captain, to gain ground on the dilly season risk takers. Form over fixtures is the best policy when choosing captain. He is in the form of his life and the team are creating plenty of opportunities, foolish to look elsewhere imo.

I dunno, Suarez is as big a risk as anyone this week.

I dont see the same level of risk as you, maybe I'm being simple but you cannot ignore his form (19.25 pts/game over last 4 games), and City's defence will be just another gaggle of lumbering turkeys at the end of the match, regardless of how much they are paid.

Liverpool are going to be on the back foot for large spells. Statistically City only concede .625 of a goal every home game. Assuming Suarez scores this .625 of a goal, how many points will he get?

Another stat to consider is Pool's 17 goals in 8 away games, I'll be chuffed with another Luis brace so.
Also would question the assurance that Pool will be on the back foot for long spells, they will be pressing City's midfield and turning over possession frequently imo.
