What % would u put on Walcott starting. Im thinking he has to start as bar giroud there isn't any other consistent goal threat available to them. Ox and Campbell in the wide positions wouldnt be great.

I agree with Extra Gravy. As an Arsenal fan myself, I would nearly go as to say it's guaranteed. Campbell, Ox and Giroud (slight chance) have a chance of being rotated, but Theo should be fine. I hate saying something is guaranteed as I'll always be afraid it will bite me back! :pac:

What Wenger means about rotation is Monreal back starting, perhaps Kos and Gabriel at back, Ramsey and either Flamini or Chambers in midfield and a toss up between Campbell and Ox.

I'd be 95% positive he will start, can't see how Wenger could afford not to start him. Ox hasn't scored a league goal in something like 15 months and Campbell, while a hard worker, doesn't offer the kind of threat Theo is capable of. I'm sure Wenger will be mindful too that he needs to build up his sharpness ahead of the tricky games coming up.

I'm 90% certain I'll captain Walcott again.

Newcastle's defence aren't exactly pacy (apart from Mbemba) from what I know. Plus they are going to be missing Anita who along with Colback has been credited with helping tighten them up and protect the defence. Tiote will probably come in who is a bit if a kicker iirc.

Leicester beat them 3-0 and they couldn't cope with Vardy at his peak.

On Arsenal while Ozil pulls all the strings the ball he looked for every time against Bournemouth was to the run of Theo, as Lemlin referred to, it defies all logic that he didnt score a couple. If Arsenal and Ozil go with that tactic again he'll get more chances.

I really want to captain him again but am in the top 25k now and I don't know if it's the worth the risk of losing further ground if he blanks again. Then again, if he explodes I could make massive gains. The sooner Aguero becomes Aguero again and ends these captaincy dilemmas the better :pac:

I'm going with Ozil this gameweek. My captaincy choices have been largely horrendous for many weeks now and have cost me, so I'm taking a back to basics approach and captaining the man who is running away with the polls.

I'd love to go with Aguero (again) though!

KrakityJones

Going Ozil and very very tempted to blow my triple captain card on him, reckon Arsenal will run away with it.

Sticking with Giroud but all this talk of Theo is making me want to bring him in just for this game.

In my eyes he's the best player in the league when fit. Not going to miss a big haul which could happen in any game. Ozil doesn't scare me and I've dont have the Vardez anymore.

Ozil


'Baaaaaaaa!'

Am at 90%. It was very unlucky not to pay off last GW.

Scared of Ozil at 47% in FFS poll.

But fukit. Need to go on the offensive from 850k.

If i was highly ranked then owning him would be differential enough.

Think I'm going to go for him as my last differential captain pick before hopefully we have Aguero and Sanchez back firing. At 350k with a defence I'm happy with, so a blank won't cause too much damage. And it's a risk I'm willing to take

I wouldn't myself to be honest. There's too big a chance this week of rotation or players coming off early.

All aboard the Theo express.....

Feel like I've done terribly with captains so I'm ignoring my gut (kane) and following the gamblers in here with Walcott.

Iused2likebusts

Going Walcott aswell.

Changed my mind from ozil to walcott.

Captain Walcott reporting for duty.

Father Hernandez

After posting, am sure he'll end up getting 50 points but can't understand the love for Walcott. Hasn't returned higher than 9 all season, very hit & miss, can't see why people are getting him in the team, never mind captaining when there's much better options.

Necronomicon

You guys are all making me tempted to give Walcott another punt, but those have scarcely worked out this season. Keeping it simple: Ozil.

Username here

I want to captain Mahrez, but with Newcastle fielding a reserve keeper..... I think it has to be Ozil for me, too. So many good options this week, though!

Don't mind them Prodston. Now its party!

I was happy with my decision to captain Ozil. Until I took a wander in here! :pac:

Now, the Theo bus is tempting...

FHFC

Well!? Anyone chicken out??

I'm in.

spock.

Went from Ozil to Vardy to Mahrez to Walcott and back to Ozil again.
Ozil(c)

stuck with ozil
was too risky a secund week in a row
the scores will probably be reversed now in Wally's favour but nobody else in my league has him so that's fine !

I did ... After 2 good GWs I made some decent progress (135k up to 178k) and have the feeling that between their respective ownership and captaincy percentage, I have more to lose from an Ozil (C) blinder than from a Walcott one. Walcott sounds like enough of a differential in itself.

Now I have a bad feeling about having mixed them up... Like I should have followed the crowd last GW with Ozil and tried the Walcott Newcaste repeat punt this GW...

Good luck to you anyway (you kinda deserve it) and from your position I'd have definitely gone Walcott (C).

greedygoblin

Like iroced, I feel that just having Walcott is enough of a differential in itself. So I stuck to my safety first approach and captained Ozil.

I stuck it out Walcott capt ,ozil and Ramsey. All in on the arsenal for me. I'm expecting the famous Mr p train gif later when Walcott scores.

MarkSRFC21

Too late to back down now. It's Theo time!

Scorpion Sting

Went with Walcott as well.

Lights On

Went with Ozil. Though I have a feeling today will be the day Kun finally starts to fire, though just having him will be enough I hope!

km79

wasn't comfortable captaining ozil and won't ever do it again.
even if I'd gone with theo I'd be a point better off

Nope, 1.

Theo cap = 3x2 + Ozil's 2 = 8

Ozil cap = 2x2 + Theo's 3 = 7
