Took Tadic out on Saturday morning and replaced him with ADM(who I have captain tonight). I left Schneiderlin in and he only got me 5 points - what was I thinking?!

Very frustrating!

On the plus side I have Pelle and still have my wildcard.

Up to 1.1k overall and in the Top 100 in Ireland.

Still have DiMaria to play and Boyd's points to come in.

Be amazing if i stay in this position after tonight's game!

It seems the majority on the forum got really good bumps in overall ranking this week.

As long as Di Maria doesn't go mental altogether we should be ok. I'd like him to get a goal but not to outscore Pelle and Aguero for abvious reasons

With Costa not playing, I think the subs and vice-captain calculations will have a huge impact on gameweek ranking. I'm just inside the top 100k this week, but I expect to fall quite a bit once all those Aguero vice-captaincies kick in.

I dont think it will have a big effect as you anticipate.. only 12% ownership of him!

Just 3.8% of players have Aguero as VC according to http://fantasyfootballfix.com/live/

This is the thing. And of that 12%, how many had Costa(C) and Aguero (VC)? Couldn't be more than half of the 12%.

Yeah but I'd imagine a lot of that 12% is concentrated towards the sharp end of the table.

In the captains poll on here, Costa had 46% of the votes; you'd imagine a lot of those captaincies will go to Aguero, Sanchez, Welbeck, Cesc, Sterling who all had good weeks.

Swiper the fox · 20-10-2014 03:28PM

Its been one of those gameweeks where people can make massive gains in the overall rankings. For a non DiMaria owner like me a quiet night for him tonight would be a huge bonus, he's likely to be he most popular VC, my 95 is a huge score at the moment but double figure for Angel tonight would reduce my gains massively. So while I wish ye all nothing but good things in life I'll be cursing ye if he runs riot tonight.

I think a big score from ADM who is a more popular vc could be more crucial.

Ziegler1988 · 20-10-2014 03:39PM

I'll either take a nice 5-7 pointer from ADM or a red card to hurt VCers and so I can transfer him out :pac:

OneColdHand · 20-10-2014 03:43PM

I want specifically 6 points from ADM. I need that to make 100, but anything more means others in my league who have him captained will be gaining ground.

I bid for 8

manual_man · 20-10-2014 03:57PM

I'd actually welcome 1-0 to WBA. I have ADM and Wisdom to come in also for Costa

HighClass · 20-10-2014 03:57PM

Anything less than a hattrick and two assists for ADM will be disappointing :P A repeat of the 5-5 game from last year would be perfect.

OneColdHand · 20-10-2014 04:02PM

Interesting random stat on Second Captains. Chambers has been booked 5 times in 5 games this season. Last season he wasn't booked at all for Southampton.

This I agree with!

I don't think a lot of players at high end of table have Aguero

Ive a feeling aguero will be on the bench for city in moscow. They left Him on for the 90 yesterday even though the game was won which was a bit strange if they planned to start him. Dzeko failing to get any gametime so Id imagine he will definetly start. Hopefully this happens aguero Capt next week again would be nice.

Watching SSN Im almost certain I saw aguero standing talking to pellegrenni while the rest of the squad trained.

manual_man · 21-10-2014 12:42AM

Only copped now that since gw2 Clichy and Kolarov have been rotated every gw

Do you think he could be injured?

I'm not definite it was him but don't think he would be injured pellegrenni isn't very secretive and if he was they wouldve left him at home.Had a glance on a city forum and a lot of them seem to think it could be Dzeko up top on his own tonight.

This is what BR & other foreign coaches have been saying.. Explosive players need tailored training regimes & 2 Days Rest

I'd imagine it is a cause of this but also that he may not start in the CL

He took a bang to the back at one stage v Spurs. It's the sort of injury that you could run off, but then wake up the next day feeling like a train hit you. With him playing 90mns plus Dzeko playing nothing, I'd fully expect Dzeko/Jovetic to play in Moscow.

Hopefully that's it because I'm expecting to captain him this weekend away to West Ham.

What about Pelle home to Stoke ?

We need one of those people who can make the statistical analysis about how many goals Aguero has scored against west ham in the last 2-3 years

It's a toss up between the two but Aguero could have had a hat trick against Villa and scored four against Spurs.

Should have scored 5 and could have scored about 7 against Spurs!

Don't have stats for West Ham, all I know is Aguero is bleedin magnificent at the moment and will most likely by my captain too!

Apparently he got 16 points in the corresponding fixture last season. Courtesy of the lads on the Captain thread.

Tiriel · 21-10-2014 01:27PM

I got really lucky last weekend, had Costa as Captain and Pelle as VC

76 points boosts me up my leagues!
