GW14 Captain Poll

Scorpion Sting

Likely to be Kane for me.

Trimm Trabb

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Harry Kane, Harry Kane, Harry Kane, Harry Kane

Ziegler1988

Walcott (West Ham A)

Sticking with Sanchez(c). Kane vice which means he'll get double digits

F1ngers

Apart from Aguero, my other front six are away and all my defence is at home.
On Aguero at the moment, but that will change nearer the w/e.

dsmythy

De Bruyne ((Chelsea H)

I don't care anymore. Always Aguero.

Kane

Aguero (Chelsea H)

I really need to start getting my captain picks right. New it wasn't great, but just looked back at my GWs, and have had 8 fails out of 13, including 6 of the last 7 - directly corresponding to a slide down the ranking.

Between Kane and Sanchez at the minute (though I haven't actually transferred in Kane yet).

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Kane (even though I haven't bought him yet).

Father Hernandez

De Bruyne ((Chelsea H)

Kane if I had him and was able to get him in without getting a lot of minus!

spock.

Walcott (West Ham A)

Sanchez

Ditto.

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Kane is gonna fail but I'm slowly but surely giving in to buying him (and captaining him) as part of a big hit. Hopefully though, this time my team rearrangement will last more than one week :rolleyes: ...

ElTel

Defoe (Leicester H)

Zlatan gets the nod atm.
Negredo will be the other option if I get him.

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Combining my 2 "theories" "factual observations" (:p) this week, "popular (C) pick mostly failing" & "MNF (C) glory", everyone with Negredo should (C) him over Kane. Home to Hull being the icing on the cake. Statistical success. The odds are with you anyway.

This surely has to be the week the popular captain pick delivers!

Will be interesting to see if Kane is most popular captain option for top 10k (he certainly won't be overall). Only 5% ownership last GW

TimRiggins

Think I'm gonna give it to Negredo. Fancy him to score against Hull, Not too sure about Kun or Costa, even though Aguero always scores against Chelsea.

extra gravy

Don't have Kane and hard to know which of Aguero or Costa to go for so think I will give Austin a crack this week.

De Bruyne ((Chelsea H)

Cresswell and Antonio injured, might consider an Arsenal player to take advantage of West Ham's shoddy defence.

Agreed, San(C)hez it is so

Shanotheslayer

De Bruyne ((Chelsea H)

Argh. I'm really leaning on Phillips after having two great gameweeks and been playing well previously.

Potentially suicide move tho.

OneColdHand

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Triple captaining Strip Lighting.

It's a risk, but hopefully he shines this week.

Edit:
Serious answer: Kane. Captain picks have been failing miserably laterly, so just gonna stick with poll leaders for a while. Kane topping this poll, and the one of FFS.

Mike Ehrmantraut

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Kane, if I get him in. If not it's a toss of a coin between Sanchez and Strip Lighting

... that faux pax yesterday brightened up an otherwise dull day.


... then again. LEDs tend to do that.

greedygoblin

Aguero (Chelsea H)

I think I'll stick with Kane, though I've got this niggling feeling that Siggy could make hay against a makeshift Spurs defence.

Just hope he doesn't burn out too soon.

Defoe (Leicester H)

Ibrahimovic or Defoe...

Mr.Prodston

Sanchez or Kane. Although Aguero could test that Chelsea defence.

It's quite a pickle. Form vs fixture. So what would a sensible person do? Choose Sanchez.

Captain Sanchez it is. Probably....

Having Kane for now is more than likely enough on the risk/reward scale.

Yes I do disgust myself with what I've become :pac:

Kane at home to a Swansea defence that conceded 4 at home to palace last week and he is on pens
If you have him captain him IMO

Yes.

But.

It's bloody iroced and his captain obvious curse that has me freaked out.

IsMiseMyself

Sold Coutinho for Pedro (which gives me an uncomfortable situation of two Chelsea mids vs. City) and bought in Kane for Lukaku for a -4.

Captaining Kane.

Paully D

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Got Kane in this week and will go with him.

dr.kenneth noisewater

De Bruyne ((Chelsea H)

Sanchez, Firmino or Aguero?
Kun at the min!

AdpRo

I've had it on Defoe since the GW updated last saturday, will probably chicken out in the morning!

Sooner or Later

No Kane, so Sanchez (c) Austin (v)

:pac:.

The worst thing is I feel if I go for Sanchez trying to be clever, I'm afraid the curse will stop. I experienced it last year with the MNF (C). Always bottled it despite stats proving its efficiency. The only time I went for it against the popular pick it completely backfired...

Also I played a -12 mini WC for getting Kane in and switching back to 3-4-3 so I feel I kinda have to captain him.

raiders11

Arnie at home to Burnley, seems a weekend where a gamble could prove dividends, hoping Kane pulls a hammy in first 5 mins

ironmonkey

No Coutinho no sturridge got to be mane for me

El Horseboxo

Aguero (Chelsea H)

Could do with another 5-4 scoreline in a Swansea game. As a Kane and Siggy owner I'm sure that would please me.

Aguero (Chelsea H)

A little torn on Sanchez v Kane.

Boring Mr P's analysis is spot on. Kane is the sword, Sanchez the shield.

Kanes ownership is still low, higher owned among more switched on, planning ahead players than casuals. Most who don't own Kane will captain Sanchez and to a lesser extend Aguero.

Assuming you own both Kane and Sanchez....

If you captain Kane and he blanks, while Sanchez smashes it you will lose ground badly.

If you captain Sanchez and he blanks while Kane smashes it you will still do ok as Kane is still a differential overall.

So Sanchez = shield.

But if you captain Kane and he smashes it you will fly up the rankings. Kane = sword.

The ownership and captain poll around here somewhat disguise these points.

I'm captaining Kane. If I was in the top 20k I might have gone Sanchez...

I'd say it's the other way around in money leagues judging by this poll and FFS poll where Kane is a big favorite. I'm expecting to lose ground in MLs yet gain overall if Kane smashes it today and outscores Sanchez by 10+ points

Kane....have had a series of captain fails so hoping Harry can stop the rot

Necronomicon

Don't have Kane, getting quite nervous about that, so going with Sanchez.

Not comfortable having my GW depend on the Swansea defence!

Switched to Kane. Celebrate that new contract in style Harold.
