    What’s your playing style?
    When you are faced with a 50/50 decision, do you go with the differential, or go with the crowd?
    A. Differential Hazard
    B. Safe Aguero?

      The risk of not captaining Aguero in this case is too great for me.

          Does look good I will admit but Salah's effective ownership will kill you if he does something, which is a high probability each week. Although I plan to have virtually the same team with Salah from next week onwards. 🙂

        He hasn't hauled so far and has tricky fixtures upcoming.

        You can talk about how he's consistently delivered around 8 PPG against the likes of West Ham, Palace and Brighton but I'd want a lot more if I'm spending 13m.

        Plus you can spread the funds and get better players.

        I'd rather have Aguero (c) + Hazard instead of Salah (c) + Arnautovic.

        And Aguero's ownership is inching closer to 50%, so not long until the 'high ownership' scare-mongering goes down the drain.
