sterling:pac: is anyone doing it:pac:

Rooney away to Villa

Going to go with RVP, it would be madness to bring him into my team and not captain him.

Sanchez is still tempting me a little bit though :pac:

spock. · 18-12-2014 07:42PM

I have Giroud and Sanchez. Which of them is the better captain choice?

Never mind actually. I don't think I'll captain either

this feels stupid but the only reason I don't want to captain Yaya is cos I hate captaining a player in the sat morn games! ha

Aguero put that debate to bed earlier in the season

Carroll home to Leicester

I have decided to go for Sahko, bit of a risk but hoping he does the business against Leicester

I'm in the same boat! Watch him only get 1 minute now and be booked

I'm off to see Santa with the kids this afternoon. Plan on asking him whether to captain RVP or Sanchez.

Sorry mate but I think you might be deluding yourself:P

Pellegrini gave Kolarov far more time last year and I could well be wrong but I can't remember Clichy being injured. Why would they need to play a full back in Midfield, it's Man City, they aren't short of options.

Kolarov has sometimes played on the left wing of the 3 midfielders in a 4-2-3-1. He was used sparingly but he has done it.

Let's not forget with all their strikers missing, a midfielder is going to have to push up front so that may leave room for Kolarov in midfield.

yellow card for each minimum

more than likely costa will get a yellow as per usual! hazard dosent seem to score away from the bridge and with no stand out captain candidates this week i think i might give him the armband, have rvp too but i can see villa going very defensive for the game . sanchez might be worth a go at captain too but think il go with costa as not many other people will pick him and hes "due a good haul"

Agreed! And I can recall Kolarov playing in this position during the last Xmas period.

I've caved and I'm now also putting the armband on Yaya.

Apologies to any manual men that I have let down with my cowardice.

It has seriously cross my mind on a couple of occasions to Captain Zabaletta. I almost certainly won't, but just so I can whinge about it when he gets a goal and CS I'm putting it on record!!

Don't fret, my online friend, I'll console myself with a Costa hat trick and 3 baps :cool:

I'm sure you'll get lots of sympathy from us with just the 15 points :pac:

Not likely. Zab was rested last weekend. :cool:

I have until 17.30 to make my decision. Turns out an Eircom line is down locally so I could be without broadband for the full weekend. They're out working on it at the minute but I'm not holding out much hope.

At the moment, I'm thinking Yaya in for Siggy and captain him. It gives the best balance to my team and is what the masses are doing.

And what about my betrayal?

While I was mod I should have implemented a "No Yaya" policy :pac:

I'm going to go costa.

Mr.Prodston · 19-12-2014 03:53PM

Rooney away to Villa

I'm gravitating towards Hazard, away performances and all. Hardly a law that he can't score goals away.

FrClintPower · 19-12-2014 04:00PM

Siggy away to Hull

Have it on Bony away to Hull at the moment, but could well go with Haz, Sanchez, Austin, Rooney/RVP (depending on which I get in) yet...
