Took my city players out and benched my remaining Chelsea player as couldn't call that game this week. Most of my points are being picked up by defenders this year. Swapping David Luiz for Davies of Spurs served me well. I suspect my Arsenal contingent to be reduced again over the next couple of game weeks.

Statto Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I'm probably captaining Kane this week. He's the only obvious option but I'm so tempted to captain Alonso. Chelsea have a good chance of a clean sheet against Crystal Palace. I had a look at Palace's last few games and 6 of their last 8 goals conceded, the assist came from a player playing on the left, Sane (2), Young, Rashford (2) and Martial. Alonso averages 1.6 shots per game and has scored twice this season but doesn't have an assist yet and his expected assists is only 0.23. If they were home to Palace and Morata was playing, I think I would have put the armband on him but I don't think I can do it this week. Kane will be captained by about 90% of his owners, if he gets 2 or 3 goals against Bournemouth and Alonso blanks against Palace, I'd drop quite far down the leagues, I don't think it's worth that risk. I do have doubts about Kane at home, only 20% of his goals for Spurs and England this season have come at Wembley, he played 180 minutes during the International break (Alonso played 0) and Spurs play Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday, (Chelsea don't play until Wednesday). I did have thoughts about Spurs possibly starting Llorente over Kane but after the last International break, Kane played 180 minutes for England and played 85 minutes of their next league game away to Everton before their CL game against Dortmund (although that was a Wednesday). I think Kane will start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Deadline is tonight at 7pm because of the West Ham - Brighton game. Undecided who my captain will be. Jesus and David Silva are my City options. I'm not giving the armband to a Spurs player at Wembley. Joselu is at home to Palace, he has 2 goals in his 3 home games but Palace might have turned the corner after the result against Chelsea. I'm probably going with a Man City player. Burnley won't be an easy game, they have had some very good results away in the PL this season already, they've beaten Chelsea and Everton and drawn with Spurs and Liverpool but it's hard to ignore Man City's home form, 17 goals in their last 3 games. I've switched the captaincy between Jesus and Silva a couple of times. Silva is the more likely to start and play more minutes but if they both play, Jesus is the more likely to score goals and pick up more points. Aguero is ready for Saturday according to Pep, but he hasn't played in 4 weeks, does he get thrown in from the start instead of Jesus or brought on for the last half an hour? They've got Wolves in the League Cup on Tuesday, Jesus played the last round of the LC, Aguero wasn't in the squad. Jesus has played a lot recently, for both club and country, will he be rested for the PL game on Saturday then brought back for the LC? Silva is my captain just now but it might change again.

Statto Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I got rid of Alonso earlier in the week before his price drop. Downgraded to a Brighton defender to fund Jese to Salah. I'll captain Salah this weekend although I'm never confident in Liverpool when they play the smaller teams. I had a poor score last week, dropped a few places but still within 20 points of the top-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statto Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Coutinho and Kane ruled out for the weekend. Luckily didn't go for Coutinho when I brought in Salah, I have Kane though. I'm probably just keeping him. I wasn't confident of him scoring against Man United anyway, they have Palace next week which would be a good fixture, if he misses that, he has the International break to recover. There aren't any great replacements, I already have Jesus, Lukaku hasn't scored in his last 2 and has Spurs and Chelsea next 2, Aguero may not start this week after playing 120 minutes midweek, Morata just coming back from injury and Chelsea have Man United next weekend, Lacazette has a good fixture this week home to Swansea but then has Man City then Spurs. Joselu will play instead of Kane in my team, Burnley and Bournemouth next 2 aren't bad fixtures to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
