Torn between Mahrez, Lukaku and Agüero for the armband.

Join me in the Mahrez captain club! We're similarly placed in the rankings so it'll be fun.

Alli for me.

Exact same situation re captaincy. On Kun atm. All 3 could potentially explode. I'm questioning if simply having Kun will be enough, and trying to spread the risk by captaining one of the other two. I've put so much faith into him and I would go crazy if he explodes and is not my captain. Plus there is the question of gametime/ injury. But I think city could win 4 or 5 nil tomorrow, and my gut says kun

OR I could drop KDB?

I have him as captain!

De Gea
Alderweirld Bellerin Kolarov
Mahrez(c) De Bruyne Alli Ozil
Lukaku Vardy Aguero

What exactly have you been drinking today?

Bench Alli. Shut up. Go to bed....

He's definitely had a few too many. Home to Sunderland isn't the time to drop him... Unless Pellegrini benches him and just brings him on for the last 5 mins.
Feck... Now I'm worried, that's actually very possible

Jesus, Kane doesn't even make your top 3? :P

Anyhow....

Butland
Alderweireld, Dawson, Bellerin
Ozil, Mahrez (VC), Walcott, KDB
Vardy, Lukaku, Kane (C)
(Hennessey, Barkley, Kolarov, Simpson)

Can't really bench anyone over Barkley

Butland
Toby,Bellerin,Dann,Cresswell,
Wij,KDB(vc)Mahrez(c)Alli
Lukaku,Vardy


Myhill Smalling,Igalho,Coutinho.


Thought about KDB for armband but was stung badly 2 weeks ago

Which 3 from these 5 ?

Alderweireld Bellerin nyom moreno Simpson

Currently have the first 3 in

I'd play moreno over nyom

Coutinho or Barkley?

Coutinho

Given his recent form would it be daft to bench Vardy?

Would be replacing him with a midfield of KDB, Alli, Ozil, Mahrez and Barkley.

Am prob captaining Lukaku.


Would benching Barkley or Ozil make more sense?

Thanks for any replies.

Persistent heavy rain across the north of England today.

Postponements probably unlikely but could impact on playing conditions at the likes of Anfield or the Ethiad.....
