Switched captain from Haz to Costa....then back to Haz....and so on about 6 times in last 3 minutes. Ended up on Hazard. I think.

Sanchez (VC) Hazard (C) Eriksen Siggy Ameobi
Costa Sakho

**** **** **** **** ****.

FutureGuy

Only 9 players starting with a 4 point hit... 😞


Green
Azpilicueta - N. Taylor - Clyne - Wisdom - Chambers
Sanchez - Hazard (c) - Sigurdsson
Austin - Bony

City have a tendency to struggle away from home so I'm not in a rush for any of their players. I want to see how they line up without Kun as well.

City are the best away side in the league this season.

It will be interesting to see how they do without Aguero. They have done well without him in the past.

De Gea
Wisdom Azpi Naylor
Hazard (c) Sanchez Siggy Nasri
Costa Kane Dzeko

No hits either

I started my suspended or injured 4 players too. It kinda feels like a subtle trolling of those around you in the league

Its nice to get that ranking jump at the end of the GW though! Saw someone on FFS captaining Saylor with Hazard vc and Costa first sub! Playing with fire a little there!

Only duff of my injured players could possibly start, if he does its in place of Ings, so not too worried.

Going with just one captain pick is the real risk how many times have we seen a player get injured in the warm up they have no back up in case that does happen to Hazard!

dahat

Main rival has gambled on City, Yaya and Dzeko in.

Nervous times today

Finish on a high!

Just hoping this week finishes better than last weeks 23 points

GLaDOS

Brought in RVP and gave him the armband. All or nothing.

That is silly, but it could work out. I fear hazard running riot this week, i've stuck with Fab, they guy is a point machine this year

You're right re City. I'm letting my memory of last season cloud my judgement. They struggled away then.

I'm happy enough to go without City cover still though. It's Silva or Kompany I want and I can wait on both.

Yeh better to just play safe than inviting trouble! I tried to find a way to keep Fab too but figured it was better to move him on to bring in Costa for a few weeks.

FutureGuy

I actually expect city to outscore chelsea today.

Definitely wouldn't be surprised I expect their to be more in the City match you never know who is going to get them with City though and we saw what Leicester did to United!

Invincible

Going with these lad's today:

Panti
Baines-Dummett-Bertrand
Hazard-Sig-Sanchez-Sterling
Ings-Costa(c)-Bony

Costa could run my week......I think drogba deserves the start to be honest

Playing mindgames with your injured/suspended players is one thing. But doing the same with your captain is plain stupidity in my opinion. As jimmii said what if your captain gets injured while warming up? I really don't see the point in taking such a useless idiotic risk.

Baines Wisdom Azpi Clichy

This is why I always laugh early in the season when people get annoyed that everyone's teams are the same.

They never stay the same, and there are always changes to be made to keep you ahead of rivals.

Bold strategies, lets see if it pays off...

PARlance

Aguero & Chambers out this week for Sahko & Ivanovic. Both players that I think will do well. Slight reservation about Ivan missing a game over the crimbo but my 5 defenders all start.

I've been travelling this week so I've had to leave the assist manager in change for most of the week. He has taken a (bit of a) punt on Sanchez as captain this week. That has me nervous!

Guzan
Coleman, Hutton, Ivanovic
Boyd, Siggy, Sanchez (c), Yaya, Oscar

Ziegler1988

56% of top 10k took points hits this week. Interesting difference between top 1k (Hazard 49%, Costa 36%) and top 10k (Costa 44%, Hazard 36%) for captaincy.

A phrase using during about weeks 4-10 when everyone had to have Siggy-Cesc-Sterling-DiMaria

sheroman01

Ha, speaking of "templates", just noticed today how different the top 5 teams in my main league is. Luckily none of them have copped City's nice upcoming fixtures and I'm the only one with Yaya :P

G1032

EVERYONE in my 3 main leagues who is anywhere near the top of the table has Yaya. If he scores big I'm in mega trouble. I should have brought him in. Nightmare.

Oh bugger. Only 10 men for me this week.

Azpi benched could cover my -4 on my rivals since I have Terry.

good start.

km79

The feat of costa has risen

Nib

No Zabaleta will hurt a few. Clichy starts, thank God.

jimmii

No Ulloa for Leicester City defenders just got a little more valuable!

There will be some with Zaba & Dave feel sorry for them!

Cypher_sounds

I think Lampard starting will have a negative effect on Yaya's advances in opposition half unfortunately as I brought him in for a 4pt hit.
