Different managers, if Pelli was still there he may have done so again

The same bloke once rested Dzeko after a hat-trick away to Spurs

What I mean is that his "rest" was being subbed after scoring five. People willing to take the armband off Aguero on the grounds that they think he will be rested are in for a lot of trouble eventually.

Going with Aggy (C) Hazard (VC).

Took me awhile to come around, but after recent news about Kos returning for Arsenal, I have decided Vardy is too punty and Stokes defensive record ain't no where near what it was under Pulis as it is under Hughes and Aggy is in fine form.

My 2 cents as a United fan would be to wait a few weeks before captaining any of our players, if the scrappy initial goal hadn't gone in then the game could have been a much tighter affair because we weren't creating much before that. Ibra did score out of nothing though so I suppose that's what you're banking on if you captain him but I'd look for greater threat for a captain.

Aguero (c) Hazard (vc)

I have Aguero and Zlatan, should be a no brainer for Aguero but with him having played midweek I'm concerned he will only play 60 minutes or so, so I'm still undecided.

Also have Vardy and Mahrez who I think are both worth a goal against the current Arsenal defence.

Earlier on I was thinking that if Aguero wasn't owned (and due to be captained) by so many people or as expensive as he is, I'd have gone with someone like Dele Alli, who surely should be fancied at home to Palace more than Aguero is away to Stoke on a sunny early Saturday afternoon. Especially straight after he's scored a hat-trick. Surely there's no way he'll get another huge total straight after that.

However, I talked myself out of going against Aguero for two reasons. One is that we (Palace) really won't be that bad at Spurs. We've had a few good performances there in recent years and I can't see us shipping the amount of goals needed to make any of their attackers must-have captain choices. The second reason (which I think a few here might relate to regardless of who your Aguero alternative is) is that I was clouded by the fact picking Aguero is boring, when really I just want an interesting captain so I'd look clever in my mini-league if it came off. For me, there will be other times later in the season to be clever and the prospect of losing out on an Aguero haul (not that I think it will actually happen) would be much more depressing than missing out on a Dele Alli/Eden Hazard one.

So, with a complete lack of inspiration, Aguero (C) and Hazard (VC)

It's basically Aguero until he's injured or you're behind in the leagues and need to catch up.

If Man. City's form away from home is anything like last season, Aguero+Ibra alternating the armband could be a mandatory strategy. But there's a lot to be seen.

I've got in on Carroll. Hopefully Simon Francis and his fellow Bournemouth defenders will do their best to contribute with as many assists to the Hammers as possible.

That said, I fancy Leicester to bag against that Arsenal defence. Mahrez and Vardy major contenders for that armband.

Although not taking such a punt myself, i think transferring in Bournemouth's opponents' attackers could prove even more profitable than doing likewise with Hull's opponents this season.

Pretty nervous about Aguero, but the armband is still on Hazard

Aguero - nailed on, and not just because he's our hero. Nobody else can hurt you as much if you don't captain them, and yes it is boring but with nobody else 'on fire' to turn my head it's the safest option.

Yep. I normally play it safe for the first few weeks, but I'm taking an early punt this time round;

Firmino (C)
Aguero (VC)

I have gone completely off piste and captained Payet - don't see why he's nor even offered as an option. I dare say I shall find out soon enough, when the errors of my ways are exposed by an Aguero hat trick.

Kane at home against a terrible Pardew ensemble makes all kinds of sense.

But after a solid start I'd hate to ruin it by missing out on an Aguero power play.

10 minutes to decide.

Having argued why Zlatan is a better captain than Aguero this week, I bottled it and went for Aguero just before the 19:00 deadline.
Ah well, I still get Zlatan's goals.

Went Payet. Don't have Ibrahimovic or Aguero but do have De Gea Valencia and Shaw so happy so far.
