Aguero.

Last week I went with Martial for a change and he delivered fook all too. The 90 minutes of watching Kun was pure torture though.

He is too good for this form to continue.

He got an assist (only 1 pt less than a goal). 3 pts gain on Agüero. Not great. But not "fook all" ... At the end of the season, 3 pts are sometimes what makes you win a league :cool:.

Even if he does nothing this week (again), is anyone with Aguero not actually going to captain him against BOU? I know I will.

Baring injury there is nothing that would make me take it off him for the next two weeks.

I will too, but if I had Hazard I would certainly consider captaining him at home to Villa.

Where's Silva in the poll? Has to be an option this week given the fixture

Wasn't fit when I made it and I usually only put two players max from a club

Looking at the results so far, I can imagine the collective rage in here if Aguero doesn't do the business over the weekend!

Fair enough. I have it on him at the moment but might end up panicking and switching to Kun last minute

I don't think we can have any cause to rage given his failings this season

Feeling a lot more confident with Aguero(C) after last nights result. By no means a great performance by City, but a much needed CL win should give them confidence - likewise Aguero will take confidence from getting on the scoresheet - granted it was from the penalty spot but a goal is a goal

Can't see past Kun, City's record against Newcastle is unreal past few seasons and he has a point to prove. (C) for next 2 GW

If we knew there weren't going to be any dgws it would be a good week but worth keeping for Jan/Feb.

Not so sure. Even in that situation I'd rather wait for a situation where he's already in form with a good home fixture.

Even then his expectation isn't as high as a reasonable dgw for any of the heavy hitters.

Oh yeah, I'm all about the DGW for using it too. I just meant that if even if there were no DGWs I still wouldn't think it'd be the number 1 week for it. Until he starts off, I'll be treading nervously in spite of my definite captaining of Aguero for the next 2 weeks.

Oh I see yeh I agree you would definitely want to be looking for a form + fixture spot ideally.

There will definetly be dgws unless both carling cup finalists are from outside the premier league and the last 8 in the fa cup are from outside the premier league. It's crazy to use the triple captain in anything but a dgw. It could work out for you but it's still crazy.

Agreed. Just a crazy hypothetical.

Yeh the point being made was that it would only be an acceptable week if we some how knew there were none not that we are assuming there won't be. Using it for a regular week just seems like a waste.

Giving it to Aguero and have done since GW3. I don't know how much longer I can keep the faith!

Ditto.
KDB or Sanchez VC

kronsington

Payet (sun)

Like many, not sure whether to give Kun the armband. cautious by nature, its more the fear of not having him as captain thats influencing me. its either him or KDB.

Dubliner28

Sturridge (eve)

Lukaku risk for me

2nd Row Donkey

Front three are

Aguero , Gomis and Pelle.

Gomis at considerable risk of been dropped and even if he plays I don't fancy him to score particularly well.

Pelle is away to Chelsea and the stats show he gets the vast majority of his points/goals in home games.

... so it with a heavy heart and sum reluctance that I put the (C) on Kun.

Wasn't it last week he was playing Spurs where everyone mentioned it?

I might give him another go, but if he blanks against Newcastle he's gone.

I decided against taking a hit for aguero so I was in the DEPTHS of despair at 2pm but then tadic ...beautiful beautiful tadic........if ever a day summed up the contrasting emotions of fantasy that was it
I sold tadic soon after too

Be a long time until we have a week quite like that again! UFPL was super crazy that weekend! I had Tadic, Pelle and Aguero there was some score!

There are a lot of players out there without Aguero in the team at all. A big day today from him could see a huge rise in rankings for the captaining ones.
