    I think you need to understand the mechanics of posting a thread with a poll.

    What happens is the thread is posted and then op is directed to the poll and must then input the selections and then the poll is uploaded when completed.

    Aware of this. Just ensuring that you were too. There have been some eager beavers in the past that start such threads and have no inclination or idea to add a poll.

    Thanks, BTW:)

    I'm going with Naismith for the differential choice.

    Surprised how many are going for the injured Costa (one of these days, he will actually be injured). Rooney for me.

    Sturridge(H) v Aston Villa
    Sterling is my choice as he could grab a few goals at Anfield quite easily against Villa. If Danny S is out through injury he could even be played as a second striker. I'm not touching United until they gel and hit some form.

    Considering persevering with Van Persie, news of Costa being definitely fit would change that though.

    The Beast Costa it is.

    Dangerous game. Mourinho has shown that if there is a sniff of doubt about the health of costa he will play it up for tactical reasons. I think Costa is going to be a head wrecker all season for this reason. For me i will simply captain him. If he does not play the vice captaincy will kick in.

    I just don't like the idea of me having a captain that may play either 20 minutes or 60 minutes.

    Note that I also have to transfer Costa in if I captain him.

    Fair point. If you don't have costa it's not worth the risk. If you do have Costa, like I, then it's worth risking the armband on him.

    If costa is fit to play, he will play most of the game. He will either get 70 mins, 90 mins or none at all. I can't see any scenario whereby Mourinho would only give him a sub appearance at the end. Costa is essential to their team at the moment.

    In the same boat. Depends on team news if it looks like costa is fit and Falcao will start ill transfer in Costa and make him captain.

    Surely if it's 0-0 with 15 mins to go, he would be thrown on?

    Edit: Or actually, any draw for that matter. Or, if they're a goal down.

    Falcao, Di Maria or Sterling. Will wait and see what the news of Falcao starting is first.

    Don't have Costa at the moment so I think I'll captain Aguero.

    If Sturridge is out then Sterling could be an option, he will probably play as 2nd striker off Mario. However Liverpool have struggled agasint Villa for the last couple of seasons and this match will be no walkover for them.

    One goal from play in five if you include his two England internationals.

    Dont even know the team yet, let alone captain. This could well be a 11.20am saturday morning job for me.

    There is surely a goal or three in RVP. I brought him in with my wildcard last week and he actually didnt play that bad against burnley so Im hoping an all out onslought against qpr and if there is then rvp will surely be in with a good shout of a high points week. good for differentials also

    Are QPR really that bad that a struggling Man U are expected to destroy them? They just beat Sunderland and Man U's home record is shocking. I'm not too confident of their chances. I'm on wildcard and have used it to dump Rooney and Mata so far and will ship Jones if the press conference tomorrow rules him out. Might dump him anyway. If they start to perform I can get the form players in at that stage.

    Edit: Please move this if it's the wrong thread.

    Not sure what game you where watching but I thought vp was terrible.
    I'm running with falcao his stats speak for themself and expecting to get at least 70 mins against a poor qpr side
