Gameweek 5 Captain poll

OneColdHand

Falcao (lei)

I've gone with Adebayor. I'd say he's about as likely to score 1 as Costa. But there's more of a chance of him scoring a second/assisting than Costa.

I don't have Rooney, but if I did I'd say it'd be a close call between him and Ade.

Either Baines or Mirallas

If not captain someone else.
If so captain Costa.

Simple. Really. :cool:

Rooney it is

Differential is only good if he outscores the other popular choices. Welbeck hasn't scored yet this season, and he's playing a team that have conceded one goal this season (and it was an o.g. at that). So I would see much better options than Welbeck.

I'm on Welbeck as captain

Screw the haters - Arsenal always do well against Villa

Lukaku rarely scores well when you expect him to making him unreliable for the armband.

Am i crazy for considering Jelavic away to NUFC?......yes
Will I go ahead and do it anyway?.....Probably

If you have Lukaku it's a risk worth taking as of Friday. Things might look different come Sunday as they always do but if I had Lukaku I'd be captaining him. If Costa or Rooney score well then so be it but not too many are overly confident about that.

Many others are taking left field punts this week. The worst that happens is Costa scores multiple goals away to City but that goes against logic

Falcao (lei)

These game-weeks where it's very hard to pick a captain are my favourite. It can get a bit boring when you have one striker shooting the lights out every week and you just stick the armband on him. By the way, am I crazy to start Naismith ahead of Sterling?!

extra gravy

Falcao (lei)

Was initially going to go with Aguero but have it in my head now to go with Ade. Expect West Brom to concede 2 or 3.

Well, maybe a little crazy, but I see the logic. Newc have conceded 7 in their last 2, and seem to be a bit of a mess

Couldn't have said it any better, one of the most frustrating candidates for captaincy in the game.

lorenzo87

Dier captain for me this week, good chance for Spurs to keep a clean sheet and he clearly has an eye for goal.
I wouldn't be a fan of captaining Costa away to City.

internet_user

Di Maria (lei)

Hmm, guess its Rooney so

Chesty08

Aguero (CHE)

When it comes to picking captain my record is awful!

I have no Utd attacking threat & this poll favours this this week!

Im screwed!

Swiper the fox

Falcao (lei)

For me it seems to be a toss up between Rooney and Adebayor. I'm leaning towards Ade at the moment, Spurs played very well for periods last week, I fancy them to put a few goals past West Brom. I also have Eriksen so hopefully he can get in on the act. Aguero and Sterling are my other options. I'm not expecting a great score this week so I need for my captain to do the business. If I had Lukaku I'd have no problem captaining him this week even though I was one of the ones regularly burned by him last year.

CSF

I'd probably be on Ade too if I had him

Sterling (whu)

Welbeck. (C) (gamble)

I'm on Naismith at the moment but I'll probably end up changing to costa

Same as. Its between Naismith, Rooney and Siggy in my team. Although I am tempted to go for Duff as a leftfield choice!

I'd personally have to say Rooney, Di Maria is not a prolific goalscorer. He could well have an assist or two though.

The most likely goalscorer would be Rooney.

DJKendo

Would love to have Adebayor this week but already have a transfer done.

Gonna go Naismith for this but could easily be disappointed come the end of the gameweek if Rooney/Costa/Sigurrdson perform well.

Same here, with Costa as VC. Di Miria and Ramsey are also tempting.

Caught between the front 3 of Rooney, Costa, Aguero. Leaning towards Costa. What do you think?

Yes of those 3, definitely Rooney. The City game is a big unknown.

That's what my head is saying. But I captained Costa last weekend on a hunch...

I think Welbeck is a good differential captain choice against Villa. Can definitely see him score his first Arsenal goal this weekend.

and of course I currently have it on siggy
I need to get it right this week after last weeks disaster (balotelli)
if I knew falcao was gonna start it wud be him

lorenzo87

Anyone see how bad Arsenal were midweek? Not to mention they have to travel to a very in-form Villa side that are defending very well. Villa have had more rest, wouldn't surprise me one bit if Villa got a result. Even if Arsenal were to win, I will continue to stand by my opinion that Welbeck will not score many goals this season, his finishing is terrible. He squandered a brilliant chance v City and missed 2 glorious chances at Bayern already.

I don't have the balls to captain naismith so I'm going to go with augero over costa (have both) honestly fancy him at home over costa.

Going with Naismith. In form against a poor Palace side. Surprised he isn't in the poll and more aren't in for him. Costa VC.

True but it's just one of those if it doesn't come off you'll be kicking yourself for not choosing a more reliable choice.

I've gone against the tide the last two GWs. Siggy was a success, Sterling a failure. Usually you're better off not taking risks with the armband
(I have Naismith so would be thrilled if he bags a hat trick)

True, I stand by that myself when it comes to the captain.

I just try and play it as safe as possible, now naismith is in top form and could well deliver but many won't bother captaining him so even if he does do the biz your likely not to lose too much ground.

Di Maria (lei)

Gone with Roo!

Hackers

Going with Costa! Have other options in Aguero, Di Maria, Sterling and Sigursson but see no reason to change from last week. 7 goals in 4 games playing a defence with demichelis in it seems a good choice to me.

Most expecting a tight 1-0/ 0-0 game but I expect Chelsea to bag a couple and city may do likewise.
