    Rooney or Silva for me,prob Rooney. Suarez might score v Chelsea, but doubt he'll back a huge FPL score.

    Between Rooney and Suarez for me. Too much doubt about Man City rotation with 2 games in 3 days to trust any if them with the armband.

    Expecting similar tactics from Jose that he employed against Arsenal. Park the bus play for a draw. Rooney captain.

    I don't expect totally similar. Chelsea are at home this time. They were away to Arsenal in the 0-0 draw. He'll go for a 1-0 win I'd say.

    Yeah no chance he's playing for a draw at home. Could be a good game

    Early days I know but Suarez only on 6% after 48% going with him away to the best team in the league the previous gw. Shows the fickle nature of this game.

    The thing is he easily could have had 3 assists yesterday.

    What injury? The "injury" where Pellegrini said he was tired?

    Silva for me. And rooney as vice.
    The vice captains could be important this week!

    I want to captain Silva but wary of a non start, i will have Rooney as vice as he is a confirmed starter.

    The various polls will be interesting this week.

    What happens if Silva gets a ten minute 1 point run at the end though?

    Then that would be 2 points for him!

    Seriously though, that is the risk at this time of year....all the big hitters are rotation risks.

    This is the fear, Silva is a better candidate than Rooney this week imo but possible resting of him may lead me to change my mind.

    He did. Dzeko replaced him if I'm not mistaken.

    Very tempted to get Dzeko in for Lukaku and captain him. If not probably Rooney.

    Dzeko for me. Even if Negredo is just tired, a home game against Crystal Palace 48hrs after his last game is the perfect time to rest him.

    Yes but his manager said he was just tired.

    Suarez, without a shadow of doubt.

    Can't believe he's only at 12%.

    Because he's away to Chelsea! There are clearly better options.
