    Sturridge isn't fit for the EL game so i would stay away from him

    He might be fit for Sunday but yes he's still a bit dodgy

    Probably Vardy too but I'm also considering Mahrez just to be different. I reckon he'll start at home and will have a point to prove.

    Claudio would be a fool not to start Mahrez, last week's game was a perfect example of how much of difference he makes.

    He's only at 4.8% on the FFS poll so could be a great differential. Considering him myself.

    Vardy, Mahrez or possibly Sanchez.

    Any fancy talking me into Costa? I've a feeling he's due a bit of a biggie.

    Done :eek: Feck it, the captain differentials is why I Got so high last year. I still remember last season's glorious Austin, Downing and Cazorla days :D

    I just read the following on the bbc...

    "If he scores on Saturday, Vardy joins an elite group of only five players - Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Emmanuel Adebayor, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Daniel Sturridge - to have scored in seven successive Premier League games in the last 20 years."

    It's nearly making me reconsider captaining him! This run has to end sometime...

    Very interesting, I have never owned him but will probably take a hit to get him in tonight, it could well mean he's on penalties even if Mahrez is on the pitch, his record with penalties is very good so it wouldn't even be a sentimental decision.

    Has to be Sanchez for me, Vardy is reliable, but Sanchez is on form and explosive.

    Yes, but in light of Wenger's comments about him being jaded, would you not be worried about him being benched or else only playing 60 minutes...very hard decision this week.

    I'm not worried about him being benched (although anything is possible). If he comes off it means Arsenal have scored a few goals IMO, particularly with him being almost certain to be rested in the League Cup.

    So IMO if he is subbed off there is a pretty good chance he has been among the Arsenal goals. They won't sub him off if there is only a goal either way between the teams IMO. He's extremely naturally fit so wouldn't be as affected by his fixture list as other players (Aguero) might be.

    wenger has just said he regrets playing Ramsey in the game last weekend as he was "overloaded" after the int break.........

    That is Ramsey though. You could go back through countless Wenger interviews in the past about how Sanchez doesn't need to be rested and refuses to be. He'll be fine I imagine.

    He's having a dig back at the Welsh I'd say. A former coach of their backroom team publicly criticised Arsenal blaming the Ramsey injury on 'overtraining of young players'.

    I'm on Sanchez despite a hankering to give it to KDB. If Vardy comes in he'll probably get minimum of VC

    Toss up between Costa and Sanchez for me. Everton have been pretty good on the road so may give it to Costa

    Vardy for me over Mahrez because of this chance at the record.

    This could go either way imho. It could have a negative or positive impact on his returns.

    Have the captaincy on Kane he scored 16 goals in the second half of last season more than West Ham, Burnley, Hull and Sunderland and might take off going to give him 2 more weeks although I might switch the captaincy to Sanchez yet.

    I have Costa and Sanchez in my team but can't decide between them. So Cabaye it is:pac:.. gamble i know but palace are better away from home and Cabby's in great form.

    I'm gonna transfer out Pelle and take in Sturridge presuming he comes through the EL match unscathed, I might even Captain him at the weekend, but then again I probably won't, it'll be Sanchez or Vardy, toss a coin.

    Safe to say this transfer won't be happening, time for plan B!

    They subbed him off against bayern when there was only one goal in it so it could quite easily happen again id imagine. I think he'll definitely start but may not get the 90.

    That is Bayern though. A superior team. How Arsenal approach being a goal up vs Bayern would be very different to how they approach Everton where they would be pushing for the 2nd to kill the game off.

    That's what is moving me from captaining him too. The run has to end sometime.
