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.

54.62 according to figures here...

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.

Which is a great reason to make him captain, to gain ground on the dilly season risk takers. Form over fixtures is the best policy when choosing captain. He is in the form of his life and the team are creating plenty of opportunities, foolish to look elsewhere imo.

I dunno, Suarez is as big a risk as anyone this week.

I don't have the bottle to take the armband off Suarez

Same. Knowing my luck he'll score a hattrick and get 15 assists. Can't risk falling further behind

I dont see the same level of risk as you, maybe I'm being simple but you cannot ignore his form (19.25 pts/game over last 4 games), and City's defence will be just another gaggle of lumbering turkeys at the end of the match, regardless of how much they are paid.

Liverpool are going to be on the back foot for large spells. Statistically City only concede .625 of a goal every home game. Assuming Suarez scores this .625 of a goal, how many points will he get?

Another stat to consider is Pool's 17 goals in 8 away games, I'll be chuffed with another Luis brace so.
Also would question the assurance that Pool will be on the back foot for long spells, they will be pressing City's midfield and turning over possession frequently imo.

City are by far the better team but I think they will let in one at the very least.

Switched the captain from Ozil to Ronney ,he's involved with every goal opportunity and is on penos and free kicks .

debabyjesus

Adeybayor for me. 95% of my important league have suarez on permacaptain and im about 80 points off top. Time to get risky plus it makes the game more fun

Wouldn't be surprised to see Liverpool score, but they'd be doing very well to score more than once.

I have it on Lukaku at the moment, it's a last chance for him to do something for me or he's being shipped out.

extra gravy

Won't be taking it off Suarez again unless he gets injured or suspended.

I'm struggling to let go of the notion of captaining lukaku. Frustrated with him and close to selling him, but at home to a makeshift sunderland defence feels like it could be one where everton click and where romelu could get his mojo back.

Suarez by no means a cert to score, but the comments here are pretty evenly split in terms of how people think Suarez v City defence will pan out.

Somebody wanna talk me out of swapping armband to Lukaku??

Could be a massacre alright. Wes Brown is a huge loss to them, he has been brilliant since he returned. Whether Lukaku gets in on the act though is another story.

i agree with this and for that reason Im going lukaku. Will probably change to suarez when I sober up in the morning though.

Just to clarify, I'm neither sweet nor sour on Lukaku and Suarez's chances. I'm well aware of Suarez's ability to still do it, and the fact that Lukaku could do nothing. Very narrow choice between the 2 of them but the choice has now been made and I won't be going back now.

Great idea, there's some mulled wine left and the missus got me some Donegal brewed Farmhouse ales, that will definitely help me decide!! Plus some trifle obviously.....

Dempsey

Suarez could hit double figures against any team in the league. Lukaku has little consistency to his points scoring. I would consider captaining Coleman before him tbh

City at home.

8 games.
5 clean sheets.
Only 5 conceded, 3 of which were against arsenal in a slightly strange game wherethe were routing the opposition.

Lukaku looking more like getting the nod.

Ps: I'm on call and online for work, otherwise id not be on here replying to myself on Xmas night!

Rooney leading the FFScout poll at the minute. Tough decision this week.

IsMiseMyself

It'd be a tough decision for me if I had Rooney but I don't so King Suarez it is. :P

El Horseboxo

Nearly sure I read that RVP and Carrick have been training for a week. Would not surprise me if they're back given how mystical Moyes likes to be. That could bode well for Rooney if true.

eh i dunno

going for Lukaku

Copper_pipe

Tempted to captain walcott

Shedite27

Going for Lukaku. Feel free to come back tomorrow to laugh at me.

The man from Kinnegar, he say Lukaku.....

Have Rooney as captain.

Cannot see Suarez or Liverpool scoring 2well, more hoping.

Seamus as VC, just in-case.

irish son

captaining lukaku on here is gathering pace like aguero 2 gameweeks ago, hopefully its not a bad omen.

HighClass

Taking a chance and putting the armband on Adebayor. Can't see Suarez going mental against City. Need some big points after 2 bad weeks so it's time to take chances!

Pj!

Walcott. Surprised he's not getting more mentions.

Or Hazard.

Mocha Joe

Going for Negredo this week.

sanket

M thinking lukaku, just like others are saying do or die match for him, otherwise he will be shipped out of my team. He has to score atleast a brace today.
Suarez please dun make me regret my decision again.

Menas

Lukaku for me. I had a dream.....

Same as, it's got nightmare all over it though.

Going to ruin my Xmas and captain Lukaku, cannot see Rooney or Suarez hitting double figures and Lukakau is the call given the problems Sunderland have.

Only last week i declared that he was rarely captain material and now look, this has disaster written all over it.

sanket

i feel the same

Copper_pipe

Had a dream Lukaku would do well.....

OneColdHand

Can't decide between Lukaku and Suarez. Suarez is ahead of Lukaku on TotalFPL and FFS, so I'm going to go with the masses.

Also, Liverpool play in the later game, and if I captained Lukaku and he didn't do well, I don't think I could stomach watching the Liverpool game!

Harvey Low Fat Milk

Lukaku. Please make my day.

Iused2likebusts

lukaku it is. The two lads im chasing in my league dont have him and will captain suarez so if it goes well I will close the gap and if it doesnt atleast I'll get half the suarez pts they get. As a liverpool fan Id love if suarez ran amok I just cant see it. However I didnt think liverpool would score against spurs so will happily be wrong again.

Scorpion Sting

Need to make up ground so putting the armband on Walcott.

roryc

There can be only one.

I've gone with Lukaku. I need to take the odd risk at this stage. Fingers crossed it'll pay off

Did the same and dont really see it a huge risk. Liverpool will probably need to win for suarez to be getting maximum bps if he does score, so if both lukaku and suarez get one goal each lukaku probably has a better chance of maximum bps. Everton a team 2 pts behind liverpool at home to the bottom team in the league as opposed to liverpools toughest game of the season.
