Gameweek 5 Captain poll

PARlance

Suarez for me, no brainer.

Di Maria (lei)

Such a difficult one this week. I'm leaning towards Rooney, but might give Mata the option either. Love gameweeks like these where its all up in the air. Expect big jumps in rankings.

Rooney (lei)

Costa hasn't been announced injured, has he?

If not captain someone else.
If so captain Costa.

Simple. Really. :cool:

Griever931

Maybe Di Maria.

Siggy or falcao !

Welbeck for a differential

If I had him or ade I'd probably go with one of them.

I'd take a goal and 3 BPS for Welbeck right now

Menas

Sigurdsson (SOT)

Falcao for me this week. Just cant see any other viable options....big risk though, but sure feck it....

Adebayor (WBA)

madness to captain naismith ? he looks like he'll score every game, missed a sitter last weekend to continue his run.

On Ramsey for now, but considering Siggy or even Mad Mario for a differential

Don't think the City defence will be as soft as what Costa has met so far

(Though the way my luck is going he will probably score a hat trick !!!)

manual_man

Ramsey (avl)

will probably choose Aguero. Costa vice. no real stand-out options for me this week. have Naismith but honestly i don't have the cojones to chance it on him. Ade, for those who have him, i think is a good punt

Fatty Magoo

Naismith. Home to Palace he should bag one or two.

Welbeck (avl)

So if, hypothetically, the only home player you had was Naismith, and he was home to Man City, and you had Costa playing away to QPR, you'd captain Naismith?

No exceptions*.

* I would make exception in that case.

I captained mad Mario last weeks as a differential. He had a home game. Spent the entire game walking around outside the box . I fell 700000 places !
I won't EVER captain or have him in my team again.

I'm going to take a risk on Eriksen. He got his first last week and they are at home to a struggling West Brom side.

Don't fancy the fixtures for Chelsea, Man utd or Arsenal.

Ramsey (avl)

Going with Kun for now, very tempted by Costa though. Home player will probably win through on this one.

There's no one really standing out to me. There's no one that I'm really terrified will go nuts. So seems like a good week to take a mini punt. So I'm thinking of Adebayor. Not someone I would normally consider, even against weaker teams - but could be worth a shot here.

Ade has been left at home for tonight's Europa lg game which shud have him nice and fresh.

The worry would be the rest of the team not being fresh though. Have they left many others at home?

You're the second person I've seen opt for Lamela, personally I think yiz are both mad, he's never scored in the premier league. Your options must be quite poor for this week???

Backstreet Moyes

Costa, Fabregas and Wellbeck have tough games. Sterling and Sigurdson are other options. But i think Spurs will put a few past a poor West Brom and he is playing off the striker.

ASOT

Stuck with costa since the start so il stick with him again unless hes 100% out then il jump on Ramsey.

Team and subs:

Lloris (c), Naughton, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Bentaleb, Stambouli; Lennon, Paulinho, Townsend; Kane

Subs: Vorm, Chiriches, Dier, Capoue, Eriksen, Lamela, Soldado

I think 5 were left at home Chadli was another one

MR NINE

Ramsey (avl)

Certainly tough to call this week. If i had a spurs or everton attacker id probably punt on them. Dont think utd will have it as easy this week, and they have a few threats in attack now so if they only score one or two its still quite possible some of mata rooney rvp falcao or di maria wont benefit. My options are costa, aguero, welbeck, ramsey, siggy, sterling, fabregas. Out of all those id say aguero is the best bet. Has scored goals already this season and chelsea seem more vulnerable in defence than they did last season. If i get any return from my captain ill be delighted as its shaping up to be a lean week.

i had Mario and di maria captain which in a way is worse! especially as I switched it from di maria as I convinced myself I was letting my heart rule my head !

I have Costa, Rooney and Balotelli up front but I've gone a bit mad and captained Chadli

Bookmark this post for a few days time. This will either be genius or stupidity :eek:

I'm being a bit indecisive now about putting Eriksen in as captian now...dont like players who have played europa league at the weekend (I know he's a sub but id worry about spurs as a squad).

Surely LVG will have been able to put a plan together to break down leicster with no euro distractions...(a plan that involves rooney scoring a shedload)

Yeah I had decided on Adebayor. But then I was thinking back to Spurs last european game. And they were walloped by Liverpool 3 days after it. However, the european before that was followed by a 4-0 defeat of QPR. So it's really hard to know! West Brom don't seem to be in great form, so you would think Spurs would win that one - the question is how many will they score.

Why would you give the armband to Eriksen?

Genuine question.

Scored last week.

Takes all their set pieces.

SHOULD be a routine win for Spurs.

He only had one good game against Sunderland. Not a captain material imo but if you want to go this route - go ahead.

kronsington

This season I think I will always go with a "big" player as captain, regardless of who the opposition is I.e the Suarez Effect. Somebody is bound to do well the odd week with an Eriksen, Adebayor or some obvious choice, but I think most weeks, I think Costa/Aguero/Rooney/Fabregas is likely to deliver be goods

eh i dunno

Debating ade this week with both costa and Rooney away from home

bodking

Anyone considering Balotelli ??

Still in 2 minds
Have it on Ramsey for now, but tempted

Got burned last time - had Costa (C) and Ramsey (V) both doubtful, so moved to Balotelli and then Costa scored a hat trick

No chance Costa will score big against City, but Balo is as likely to score 2pts as 20pts

Can't decide !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ramsey (avl)

Aguero for me,hoping he gets a brace as he is close to top form imo.

Falcao (lei)

Was tempted for Ade earlier in the week but that was before I realised they had that tough Europa league match.

Left with Aguero/Fab/Costa as choices. I don't fancy any of them. Chelsea will just go to City for a 0-0, maybe try to sneak a 1-0. I think it'll be a dour dull game with little chances.

Don't really know who to go for? Take a chance on Aguero???

eh i dunno

Didn't Ade and a few others not travel for last nights game

Yes. Ade and chadli left at home. Lamela came on. Eriksen travelled But didn't play. Pretty much a second team out. If I had Adebayor I'd be captaining him!

1st time I've changed my captain from Costa. Have gone with Rooney

alchemist33

Rooney (lei)

I voted for Costa above but have changed to Rooney. I've taken everything everybody's said on board but it boils down to do I captain a player who is, on paper anyway, playing the toughest game of his domestic season. I didn't want to do that.

CSF

Think Rooney is the safest choice in an awkward week myself
