    What could have been with Bale C, missed pen, two Ramsey misses, Wilson miss...

    9 point captain on MD1 is too boring to stick.

      How did Bale get 9, two assists is 6, CS 1, appearance 2 would be 9, but he missed a pen

          Still gets that even though he missed it ? That's like supplying a chance that is missed and getting the assist !

            Missing the pen doesn't change the fact he won it.

            Its a decent rule in the international games.

    Damn, I decided to captain Bale instead of Insigne/Spinazzola. He could’ve had 4 assists & multiple goals!!!! Oh well, I’ll take the 18pts from him. Would you keep his 18pts or switch captain to Lukaku, Yarmolenko, Dumfries, Wijnaldum, Zinchenko, or Meunier for tomorrow’s games?

        I’m honestly leaning towards sticking as well. If I switched to Lukaku, Kane, or Mbappé they would basically need a brace in order to replicate Bale’s 9pt performance

      I was lucky Ronaldo saved me in MD1. I started with Insigne, then passed it on. If you look at Ronaldo two goal, 10 points, a captain needs a really big haul to get bigger score than 10x2 i fhink.

        That’s true. If I switched to Lukaku, Kane, or Mbappé they would basically need a brace in order to reach the 9pts that Bale has scored. I may just stick with Bale (c)

    Bitter sweet that one as a Bale captainer, could have been so much more! 9 points is a tricky one but think it’s a twist with Kane and Mbappe to come.

      Well, if the a high ownership player actually gets the 10 points than obviously you would have more points by captaining them. But right now I would stick and pray that the other options do not get 10 points

        I will stick with bale, its not super likely that the star strikers will score twice, and if they do you get one more points… for my it is the best options to just stick

      I remember Mark's affinity to use his TC on a lower-owned player / in a week where it's not being used. Andy on the other hand was of the thought that "10 points is 10 points", etc.

      Anyone know where those discussions landed? This was a hot topic for a few weeks - curious to know if anyone gave in either way.

      No, it's exactly the same which can be proven mathematically. Same thing in FPL too, if you captain a player with low EO, or if you captain a player with high EO and they score the same points, you get the same exact rank.

      Points you gained by him being differential are leveled by points you lost from not captaining the popular player.

          And also lower, scoring twice in the euros is pretty good, it very unlikely that they will score more than 10

            Very unlikely? Individually, they are unlikely to score over 10 (I wouldn't say "very unlikely"). The chance of one of your captains scoring over 10 is not unlikely though. Somewhere around 50%, I reckon. And one of them scoring over 8, for instance, is going to be much more likely than that. The only issue is that you can't wait for them all to play and then pick the hishest scorer.

              Exactly. Plus people are fixating too much on goals and strikers.

              60 minutes and a clean sheet from Sterling, with two assists, gets you 9 points - to say nothing of the penalties we know he can wangle.

                  Most people will, I suppose.

                  Personally I'm going Insigne, Yarmo, Sterling and hopefully won't have to rely on Mbappe.

              How many of the big hitters scored more than 10 in the first gameweek? Matches can be quite tight in the euros and teams fight to the very end, it is not often that one player is involved in more than two goals
