The Captain Poll – Gameweek One

9 August 2011 2109 comments

Mark

Back in the routine yet? Maybe another familiar regular is what you need to reacquaint yourself with the route to the weekend Fantasy deadline.

We’ve duly published our first Captain poll of the season, canvassing your views on the destination of the Fantasy armband ahead of the season kick-off.

Straight way, we’ve got an interesting one.

Doubts surrounding the fitness of Robin Van Persie and Luis Suarez level the playing field a little, while Nani and Wayne Rooney will catch the eye, though both may look a risk against a West Brom side who will surely be well-drilled by the crafty Roy Hodgson. Perhaps a gamble on Fernando Torres at Stoke is in order? But then Didier Drogba could easily start at the Britannia, such is the uncertainty surrounding the Andre Villas-Boas teamsheet.

Votes are already streaming in. You can cast yours now via the homepage middle column and use this article to discuss the options.

      I did wonder what Silva was doing in ahead of Cahill also.
      
      For FPL I'd skip Vidic too, but keep Cahill on the shopping list for later.

Anyone think Balotelli is worth a punt? Not too pricey and has a potentially great fixture against Swansea at home, but obviously his attitude isn't great and with his showing on Sunday he might not be a definite starter. Opinions?

  Biblotelli has equal chances to:
  
  a) get a hatty
  b) do nothing, get a card, subbed early
  c) not play, sit the bench and watch the nice boys play
  
  Too much chaos surrounding him for my liking.

      IMO, the game is fun when you gamble a bit on players like this -- but you can only, I'd advise, do it with one, maybe two, players this early (when so much is unknown).
      
      If all your other guys are 'certain', then go for it.
      
      But a team with VDV, Suarez, Balotelli, Rafael, Ivanovic, etc. is a recipe for heartache.

Not sure if it's worth doing anymore work on my team until the Sneijder thing is done because he will be a must for me, just so long as its done before kick off. Loving the stress.

Anyway, last year on this I was given a few codes for fun leagues to join and also the leagues on this, can anyone point me in thr right direction please.

Cheers.

    Not sure if its a done deal as yet, but based on what someone else just posted that they had seen from a journalist on twitter, 33mill accepted, just terms to be agreed. This seems to be gathering some momentum and has been for too long not to have some substance.

      He's an attacking midfielder.
      
      Plays either as a deep-lying playmaker or as a Van Der Vaart type in the hole second striker.
      
      My guess is he'll play in the Scholes role, so deeper. It's what United need most. Rooney will take up the number 10 role.
      
      Sneijder won't be a very good FF prospect in my opinion.

        i guess drogba has that same rotation risk
        
        if you dropped torres for bent, then you'd probaly want to switch nzogbia for someone. i wouldnt want that many funds tied into villa, even with good fixtures (assume u have given too)

  Yes, because Torres will be rotated, N'Zogbia may not play the first game, already 2 players you may need subs for.

      I got it covered so I can play some crappy defenders instead if I need to but playing a defender who is a threat at set pieces against Arsenal isn't the end of the world either. I'll do it if I need to.

  You've obviously thought about it but Torres is such unnecessary risk Til. There's nothing to suggest he's gonna suddenly start ripping it up and surely Drogs will start against elbows and legs Stoke. It's something you can always rectify GW2 though I suppose.

as said before, thinking between

1/Baines & Sessegnon or

2/Senderos & Nani.

The Long Tchoyi question...

Anyone have any ideas as to how WBA are going to be lining up with Long signing?

I'd pencilled in Tchoyi as a punt - last season he got very little match time but when he did he did extremely well and seemed to have found favour with Roy.

  there's gera too who can play support striker like he did for fulham with woy. tchoyi was still a bit of a punt before they signed gera and long, now it's too messy for my liking. wait and see scenario. you shouldn't be missing out with west brom's first 2 fixtures

  High risk of rotation, big chance he could be subbed within 60mins, and based on the second half of last year, he is getting worse.

So who's in the know about Italian football or more importantly Inter Milan.

I've seen Sneijder a few times and he seems a pretty awesome player. Why are they so keen to get rid? I realise they want Tevez but can't afford him but that's not a straight replacement. Do they have other decent midfielders/attacking mids who can take Wesley's place? I mean they have Eto, why do they need Tevez so badly?

  Their new manager plays a 3-4-3 formation. He doesn't like playing with an attacking midfielder. He tried 3-4-1-2 but it didn't really work so.
  
  I'm not really a huge Sneijder fan. His stats doesn't really make him a tempting option at FPL.
  
  2010/11:
  4 goals, 3 assists
  
  2009/10:
  4 goals, 4 assists
  
  That's when playing behind the striker, if he plays deeper at Man Utd I don't think he would get that many points. He would still get 3-5 goals from set pieces I guess. His free kicks are awesome!

Hate to cause a disturbance, but I can't see Rooney gettin 90 mins at WBA. The game will probably be wrapped up by 50/60mins and can see another striker taking over. Baring in mind that united go on to play ARS,bol,CHE in their next 3.
