    Same here. I've captained BUIB now instead (something I said I'd never do again after last season :pac:).

    I'd be hugely surprised though if Sanchez wasn't in the starting lineup. He's just that kind of player that nothing bar the worst of injuries would keep him down.

    Watford have conceded one goal at home in four games, that being a penalty.... I genuinely wouldn't see Sanchez as the best option this week, when you include Wenger's comments. I expect Arsenal to get the odd goal victory (1-0/2-1), but Watford will drop deep, they will frustrate Arsenal, and they will make it very difficult, they won't give Walcott the space over the top, and they sure as hell won't leave Sanchez with as much space as Leicester did. If Arsenal don't score in the opening 15, they'll struggle to score more than one.

    It's more Sanchez and Arsenal's form than Watford being bad (which they've shown they aren't). I'm hoping they get caught up a bit in the late kickoff, "London" derby atmosphere and it's a bit of an open match.

    Decided on De Bruyne.

    Probably Pelle vice.

    I'm on KdB until I'm not.

    If Pelle ends up in my team over Mane he could be a consideration.

    Although Bony could be quite the maverick manoeuvre.

    Stats: On Pellè at the moment.

    Head: De Bruyne the sensible option.

    Heart: Sanchez. 9 goals in the last 5 games in all competitions.

    Going with Costa. Chelsea have to start firing at some point and at home to Villa is as good a time as any I feel.

    Costa at home to the Villa defence.

    KDB for me. Too much uncertainty over Sanchez's involvement and I just don't trust Pelle.

    Going for De Bruyne but Pelle did score midweek so there's no reason to suggest any imminent dip in form. I always balls up my captain choice.

    Haven't really had a punt all season and with all the hits and different viable options, it seems as good a week as any to take one. Pelle(c)

    I'm having last minute thoughts on Pelle instead of KDB. I've avoided the smaller player option every time this season, and been burnt many times.

    This might be the most torn I've been over captaincy all season, but went with Pelle in the end.

    Left it on Pellè after some last minute advice from my six year old. He fcking owes me big time!

    Stuck with Sanchez. Hopefully he either starts or doesn't come on.

    Went with Pelle as well. Let's hope we get good Pelle and not the BUIB.

    Took a -12. So went "safe" on the captain with KDB.

    Pelle for me hoping for De bruyne to have a blank as others ahead of me have him captained.

    Took it from KDB and put it on Pelle this morning. Captaincy is easier when Kun is fit and in-form.

    I'm not touching him. This week really taught me about transferring in haste. He can stay - unless Bony does it again next week! My one transfer is finishing what I started last week and getting KdB in.
