    Sanchez(TOT)
    I've had it on De Bruyne nearly all week now I've changed it to Vardy. The way Leicester set up, it's hard to see them not scoring and if Leicester are scoring goals then Vardy should be among them.

    Yes, Watford have been impressive but the only real scalp they've arguably had in finishing with a clean sheet is the victory of West Ham last week. Two clean sheets in their first two weeks versus West Brom(yawn) and Southampton(who had been trounced 3-0 by Everton the week before so perhaps they were focusing on not being caught on the break as often). Other clean sheets against a Swansea team who have been poor this year and Stoke who have three wins from eleven games.

    Watford have conceded against Manchester City and Arsenal (well, yeah) but also Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth. Can Watford keep a clean sheet for the third match in a row? I don't think so and that's why Vardy is my captain.

    Aw man, I've no idea who to captain! Too many options!
    I'm stuck between: Sanchez, Payet, KDB, Vardy, Mahrez.

    Stuck between De Bruyne & Vardy to captain.

    1 goal for De Bruyne is the equivalent of 1 goal and 1 assist for Vardy as bonus points would prob make them equal.

    Ugh!

    I'm going for Bony over KDB, it's his last hurrah for me as I'll probably ship him next week. He mightn't have scored last weekend but he had plenty of chances, and he got a goal and an assist the other evening in the CL.

    In fairness it would be difficult to do 2.

    It's big balls time!

    Picking the highest points scoring player in FPL this season (and arguably the best player of EPL thus far) as your captain does not qualify as having big balls.

    Now if you were to pick Kane away to Arsenal, given Arsenal's mid-week drubbing, that would be a ballsy move. Or if you backed Coutinho at home to Palace after his mid-week rest & the renewed form of Pool, that would have a dollop of ballsiness all right.

    I'm going for Pelle coz I have balls like oranges but a brain like a grape.

    I would certainly not try to dissuade you.
    I'm going with Bony and KDB is 3rd in a lot of polls behind Vardez.
    Good luck.

    I'm inclined to go KDB again or Sanchez. Leicester v Watford will be a close game and scrappy I think

    My big fear of the Leicester/Watford game is that the tinkerman will bench Mahrez again like he did a few weeks ago. Still have it on Vardy, but starting to doubt my decision now.

    He mentioned afterwards that he benched him due to the Algerian games.

    Going with Martial. Probably shouldn't even have him in my team. My season has been a bit of a disaster so don't mind taking a qualified risk.

    He'll probably be playing wide rather than in the middle up front.

    Vardy. Consistent for quite some time now. They dispatched West Brom's defence so I expect them to do the same!

    Now I've changed from Pelle to KdB!
    Still not 100%

    But Pelle has only scored 2 of his 13 league goals away from St Marys so I can't risk it.

    I've gone with Vardy, Mahrez vice. I wouldn't be at all surprised if both blanked however.

    Torn between one of vardez or Sanchez. I have faith that the Leicester attack will deliver, but I think Sanchez could explode. But I think Spurs Arsenal is more likely to finish nil all. Tbh I think I'm leaning towards Sanchez at this moment in time, but that could and probably will change

    **** it, going with Mahrez. Pelle is poor scoring away from home and De Bruyen isn't free scoring either, although I have a feeling Sanchez could do serious damage tomorrow. My captain choices have always been pretty wrong so far so gonna go against my initial choice for a change.
