He is a good 5th mid.

Who would you have as 5th!!?? 🙂

Not a great time for a hot topic?

Someone else pops up in the next 2-3 GWs and you have to change two players cause he's 4.7m. 5th yes, 4th no.

I have benched all his points. Never again. And best of all, timing is perfect to downgrade one of other mids to buy back aguero.

Maybe

Think I will get him as 4th mid, some in my mini-league are playing him every week now

So glad I benched Lamela and brought in Capoue?

Money ITB.

I love those points on my bench every week

Wouldn't want it any other way

Could be. But as you eluded to, if he gets an injury or Walt decides to change his position (unlikely) then it causes headaches to get a replacement.

I think he's good to be my 4th. Fixtures are great soon and it allows for 3 big hitters up front and 2 big mids

I was just looking at this, he's the top scoring player in the game so it's got to be an option.

I think he now has to be considered a fairly solid 4th mid option considering the fixtures coming up.

Solid preseason which we know can mean little in seasons gone by, but his form now suggests that his preseason form and subsequent great start to the season seems like no fluke and he's obviously getting into advanced positions that are returning attacking points.

My own team will consist of Kun, Ibra, Sanchez and Hazard, so I'll be looking at what upgrades I can make elsewhere if I choose to play Capoue consistently over the next few favorable gws.

Definitely has to be considered as a playing 4th mid imo.

Wildcarded tonight a week early. Antonio, Capoue, Benteke all in. Capoue is my 4th mid, money ITB for Costa>Kun.

I sold capoue on wc.

Contemplating on GW6 wc.

He was my 4th MF today following previous loss of points when he was sitting on the bench.

Cappooee is getting to be an annoying little bench troll. The problem is: he may keep on scoring but you still have no intention of playing him over the likes of Hazzard, Ibra et al.

Getting killed by disbelief.

He's seriously tempted me. Someone like Diomande would fit nicely.

How long does it take until we start calling Capoue this season's Mahrez?

play the player not the price tag. e.g.Alli last season.

Benched him every single time this season.

I can't understand why so many people are not considering him as a real option. He's been on my bench from the start but I played him this week and benched Aguero, which paid off well and I don't think was pure luck.

I'm seriously considering getting a cheap 3rd striker now instead of Gray and playing 3-5-2, as there seem to be more value options in midfield (Caz, Antonio etc).

It seems to me that it's just his low price that is causing a lack of trust. I understand it could cause headaches if he gets injured, but we can't really plan to that level as so many other problems can happen that are out of our control.

Still only good enough to be a fifth midfielder. He has 3 goals on 4 shots inside the area, and thus he has obviously over-performed his underlying stats. My own model roughly expects 3 points from him per game. That's solid for a fifth mid, but personally I aim for at least 4 per game from a fourth midfielder.
