Gameweek 18 Captain Poll

masti123

should be an interesting poll...

KevIRL

Interesting poll options alright...

CSF

Right now my inclination is not to get caught up with what happened last week, and give Lukaku another chance.

At 6pm, I may be thinking completely differently though.

Paully D

I've learnt my lesson. The armband won't be taken off Suarez for the season.

Danger781

Captain Negredo this week

Hard to ignore Suarez even given the opposition

Santi101

Hard to ignore Suarez but Id be surprised if he turned out to be the best choice this week.

DJKendo

Have Suarez but thinking of captaining Theo Walcott.

Steven81

Rooney or Hazard for me I think

RedPeppers

Suarez for me, impossible to take it off him the way he is playing

SlickRic

Suarez until he gives me a good reason not to.

mufcboy1999

hazard for me, need to take a chance.

City being poor defensively of late is a good enough reason for me too.

That said, they'll probably score six at the other end!

Necronomicon

Suarez for me too, I think. At least this week captaincy might mean something; plenty of people will not want to captain him to City away IMO.

Sooner or Later

Sticking with Luis

bookie basher

im probably going to captain lukaku or negredo, cant see myself captaining suarez could be a big misktake, i dont have rooney but i think he would be a good choice, if was punting and 100 points down on the league leader then adebayor would be my choice

This is exactly what I just thought as I opened my team page a few minutes ago and thought maybe Lukaku, although still have it on Suarez.

GLaDOS

If you're going to captain an Everton player, why not Coleman. He's outscored Lukaku both literally and in FPL the last couple of games.

I'll likely stick with Suarez.

UpTheSlashers

City have conceded 8 in their last 4 (albeit 3 of those games were away), their back 4 is very unsettled (Demichelis was very poor against fulham), and Suárez is Suárez.

I VCed him this week and will do the same next week, but anyone other than Suarez is a big risk. Form beats fixtures.

couldnt care less how many city score, as long as Suarez bags another brace at least

For once captaining Suarez could be a slight differential. I will definately be captaining him.

Ozil captain and rooney vc.

both City and Liverpool will score, probably multiple times.

Silva, Negredo and Suarez are all fine choices as captain this week as far as I'm concerned.

Seems to be alot more love for Silva than Toure in here.. surprised considering Toure is on FKs and Pens.

Mr.Prodston

If there's one person we hate more than Ramsey it's Yaya. I take it upon myself to speak for the whole forum when I say that :pac:


Most certainly not as one of the stubborn feckers who lead the anti-ramsey brigade for a period of time and is still in cahoots with them

I've mentioned it on here a few times before he signed for City, Demichelis is up there amongst the worst defenders in Europe's top leagues. Roque Junior style stuff, he is an absolute liability.

Comparatively speaking I think this forum has done much worse this year than last. We were all on on Michu ect last year. A lot of us have been burned by toure, ramsey etc this year.

He's the reason I'm captaining Suarez. He's an accident waiting to happen.

Is Nastasic not about due back?

CSF

I'm not happy with my choices this week. I'm looking for someone to talk me into captaining Suarez. Man City have conceded 5 goals at home, and have won every game. Liverpool have only won 3 of 8 away games. Only 5 of Suarez's 19 goals have come away from home. Somebody convince me why these stats are irrelevant and that he is going to rack up a score anyway.

if coleman wasnt Irish Id say a lot of people would have been burned by him aswell.

Shedite27

If there's ever a week to avoid Suarez, surely City away is it.

Not sure there's any obvious replacement tho. Lukaku is the only one I'm considering, rest of my team sees to be playing away.

I'll see how Walcott gets on this week. I'll be very nervous following the city/pool game though!

Januzi? ;D

Don't think so, haven't read anything about him coming back anyway.

The fantasy site have him red flagged this week and the note says expected back Dec 26th

Even if he isn't necessarily the best option? Suppose City were at home to Palace this week?

Pretty much, yeah.
Unless a City player is in better form than him at the time.

have been thinking about switching ozil to silva and work ozil back in with my wildcard.
With captaincy I'm not sure about suarez this week. May go lukaku brown is suspended and o shea may be injured.

zarquon

Won't be moving from Suarez. Too many of my league will be captaining him. A big haul from Suarez would be disastrous if i don't have him as Captain. Such ask the "smart" people who decided to pick excellent differential captains the last week or two.

remoteboy

Whoever picked Remy might be on to something. I sold him last night so he's guaranteed a high score. Took a 4 point hit to shift Lallana out last week. I'm an idiot savant but without the savant bit.

masti123

Sold Remy for Adebayor as he hasn't scored in the last 4 games

Mr. Incognito

This game is patience. Been sitting on Ramsey ozil and giroud solid over 70 in last few weeks although 73 this week and 77 saw red arrows but arsenal have savage fixtures and they will be differentials

Yaya is some beast, hate him, refuse to drop ozil fer or lallana for him.

Wish I had the balls to captain ozil this week. But I will weld it to Suarez till him stops scoring or headbutts an official

Michael D Not Higgins

Difficult one. United are regaining form and Rooney's looking good for a goal at least against Hull. Man City unbeaten at home. Can Suarez change that? Currently backing Rooney for the differential, although that backfired on me a couple of weeks ago, however Liverpool away to Spurs was an easier game. Ahh too many variables.

Rooney is playing so deep though especially away from home, he's good for an assist but against villa he was everywhere but up top for most of the game and villa aren't exactly light years ahead of hull, theres not much between them this season.

Its either lui, hazard or negredo for me... if i go against the grain with lui and it works out its great but with his form it could backfire quite fast.

Lemlin

Have any team put more than 2 past Hull this season? They are very strong defensively.

I certainly don't expect United to roll them over. No team has. They even went to the Emirates and only lost 2-0.

IsMiseMyself

I'm expecting the City/Liverpool game to be a stomper, so I reckon Suarez is on course for another 10+ points. He's getting the armband, no other real contenders this week, imo, except Rooney but I don't have him so.

BNMC

Will be giving the armband to Suarez.

Does anyone else think the game has got a bit boring since RVP and Aguero got injured? 90% of active players will be captaining Suarez this week and most weeks up until said two are back.
