Gameweek 25 Captaincy Thread

stephenl15

Interesting week with a few standout options. Figured out I can still add the poll now after a couple of edits :P

CSF

I don't think Aguero is as cert a captain as he's been in previous weeks. I still probably will though.

Yeah same. Kane and Sanchez are very enticing for me but I'll likely stick it on Aguero.

Aguero (c) Kane (vc) for me nice and boring. Firmino would be a nice differential option for those that have him.

Doh!!! And I didn't even put an other option. If anyone wants to make a new one go ahead and hopefully a mod can delete:o

Didn't actually spot that in my rush to select Aguero!

Benimar

Probably Aguero, but not convinced. Kane has a good Watford defence to contend with so not sold on him either.

Firmino is a gamble given how flaky Liverpool are so no real stand outs for me.

stephenl15

Probably best if someone sets up a new poll for this week as Firmino will probably be a popular choice and I've somehow forgotten him. I'd set it up but I'll probably make a balls of it again :P

LostArt

Siggy.

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane

Iused2likebusts

I'm thinking sanchez

Ziegler1988

Had it on Sanchez once the game updated and don't plan to change it. He almost always lets me down for captaincy though, goal against Watford is my only success

Paully D

Aguero as usual.

Hococop

Kane for me so far

spock.

Aguero cause I'm too scared not to.

CSF

If Sanchez took pens I would captain him this week.

SpaceCowb0y

Going to plump on Kane this week! Too many choices and got hurt last week leaving it on Aguero when everyone else in my team outscored him

Mike Ehrmantraut

Aguero, even though I never like having captain playing in the early kick off. ...actually don't remember ever having a really big score from captaincy in the early kick off.

Agüero's 4-1 vs Spurs last year maybe?

Ssssh!

It's Aguero Day next Sunday and we don't want people remembering



Aguero again this week because in GW27 I won't be able to captain him!

I'll captain Aguero next week out of Spurs at home obligation but it's an absolutely horrible week for captaining. The top 4 all play each other.

gammygils

Kane for me. Firmino vice.
Selling Lukaku. Buying Kane

FHFC

Head: Aguero
Heart: Sanchez
Balls: Sanchez

Lights On

Rooney playing Chelsea and 5 goals away from the all time record. I can feel a hat trick coming

I very nearly did put it that way. But I don't think I would ever captain any Liverpool player at the minute.

GetWithIt

Starting to have second thoughts on the auto-captain on Aguero.

My lowest point this season was selling Lukaku when he bagged a brace, in order to get Aguero to have as captain when playing Leicester previously.

I just thought the game would finish 5-5 or something crazy with the amount of attacking talent. Had Aguero (c), Vardy and Mahrez all playing.

0-0

Again this week I'm thinking the game has got to have goals, but in previous years you'd actually expect a low scoring draw in a top of the table clash. Could be another 0-0.

Have the armband on Firminio at the minute...will probably change it 20 times before kick off.

Head says: anyone but Firminio
Heart: Firminio - Liverpool are due a decent game
Balls: Meh...whatever Heart says

Payet. Absolutely playing out of his skin since he came back and very unlucky not to have way more goals. Him and then Kane as VC.

He was pretty anonymous (in a FPL sense) against Villa the other night and only occasionally dangerous against City. Both home games. I wouldn't captain him personally against a Southampton team who simplydon't know how to concede right now.

Did he not hit the post with a free kick against villa? Whatever game I watched anyway he was awesome...only a matter of time til it reflects points in fpl. I'm willing to take a punt!!!

He might have done. He's a set piece danger always. Playing from very deep in general play though in the last 2 games.

I'm terrible once I get an idea into my head. I just can't not do it for fear he will do something... Aguero vs Leicester though is probably my only other viable option...or an out of sorts Ozil.

siblers

They played against 10 men at home against the worst the team in the league for over an hour and apart from his free kick, he didn't look like getting an assist or a goal. Think there are better options there.

I'd go with Aguero. I hope your hunch is right though. I'll be starting him.

Finally watched MOTD
My word Kane was good !

extra gravy

Been on Aguero all week but leaning towards Kane now after looking at his stats. Plus only 2 of Watford's 9 clean sheets have come away from home.

Xaniaj

On Aguero currently but it's flicking between him and Kane!

Usernemises

Have to go with Sanchez. Last few captain picks really let me down

lougal88

Spurs have scored 18 goals in their last 8 games.
Watford have conceded 10 in their last 8 with 2 cleanies.

Spurs have won 4-1 in 3 of their 12 home games.
Watford's 2 cleanies on the road were at Stoke and Sunderland.


Just sayin....

Spurs' goals are more spread out than City's when Aguero plays though. I do expect Spurs to slightly outscore City but Aguero is just unstoppable when in form.

Despite my post I'll likely captain Aguero for this reason. Pure fear.

Interesting week though...

Yeah, my gut says Kane too but I'm sticking with the logic I'd tell other people to use if I was approaching this impartially.

Mr.Prodston

My gut is telling me that Aguero is actually going to tear Leicester asunder if a few more want to jump ship to Kane.

Looking at my private league, only 2 out of the MANY people ahead of me have Aguero. (None have Sanchez either) and they won't be able to afford to get them without destroying their teams or wildcarding

All of them have Kane. So they will probably captain him.

Going for Aguero as a 'differential'.

I've said it before, but if captaining Aguero is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

I have the option of captaining -

Sanchez, Aguero, Payet, Firmino or Kane but I'm being drawn to Giroud.

How wrong is that ?

I'm considering Giroud. Arsenal are due to come out of their slump in their typical tradition so could be a goal fest, although I was expecting Ozil to explode against Southampton and that didn't really work out.

Ace2007

Would pick Aguero in a flash, if he didn't have the early kick off - not sure how many times i've done well picking and early kick off game

FHFC

Think I'm gonna pass Agüero for either Kane or Alexis.
