Tricky captain week. Balls said Felipe Anderson, head says Lacazatte or Son, but heart says Pogba. Whatever happens, I know my choice will be the wrong one.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I can't be arsed at looking at all the double game week permutations and I've got no players this week so I just free-hitted to the scout picks
I'm guessing in a few weeks I'll look back at this moment of laziness and regret it, but at least looking at my team is fun this week

One change, Aguero to Auba(C) with enough to get him back next week. Will lose a bit of value and have a tricky decision midweek but have a feeling Aguero could be due a rest. AWB injury leaves me with 10 starters, can't be helped.
My team is nearly the exact same as the scout but I have have Alison in goal.
You'd have to see how long he plays against Chelsea. Think he'll be tested against the hammers, or will play no longer than 60 mins.
He has played a lot of football recently. So far I've nailed this hokey cokey (with some luck). The way I see it 2 potential Auba fixtures v 1 max Aguero fixture is worth the risk. Also solves my captaincy problem for this gw, think Auba is the best candidate.
Was wondering about Rondon, but scoring 1 every 8 games on average didn't feel great. Went with Josh King instead as my 2nd option, having seen the scout selection.
Also upgraded my non playing keeper, 3rd choice Palace guy 3.9m Speroni to 4m currently playing Boruc.
I'm without a keeper this week anyway with Ederson having no game, and Boruc has a fixture week 31 so seemed the time to make the -4.

Feck this game.
The one and only week that I need Wan Bisska and Peltier to play, both not even in the squad. Peltier randomly dropped after playing the last 4 games.
I took a -8 hit and now I’ve only 8 players playing

The guy above me in my ML has played his wildcard and made his team identical to mine!
He is 17 points ahead but i lstil have the free hit. So that BGW is essential for me now.

So I take a -8 which backfires, meanwhile my main competitor has Deulofou who decides to score 3 goals for the first and last time in his life
Wow Deulofeu. Took him out 6 gw's ago so can't really feel bad.
Cardiff are slipping away. Hard not to see all the promoted teams falling back down this year.

Kept Deulofeu
I swear Felipe Anderson is a bloody troll. Every time I bring him in he blanks. But when I drop him, the cnut keeps getting goals and assists
Think Wolves might beat the drop
He just got another assistSo I take a -8 which backfires, meanwhile my main competitor has Deulofou who decides to score 3 goals for the first and last time in his life
Deulofeu on my bench. feck me. Next year I’m picking subs that don’t play to save me the annoyance
Think Wolves might beat the drop
feck. Why did I think Huddersfield came up this season? Probably because they've been so shit.What a pleasant surprise when checking the scores, get in Deulofeu!
Pretty sure nobody else in my league has him so should be a great differential

Troy
Bit late to the party.
If he now turns to shit, or gets injured, I will blame you.
Toyed with putting Etheridge in as he's a points machine, thankfully not. Flappy wasn't great, tbf, but hey!
Am I crazy for having Rashford captain over Aubameyang?
No, this is the week that a differential captain could be a good move.
Nice.
Brought Andersen back into my team and captained him as Fulham's defence is just useless. Also there isn't a whole host of obvious captain choices this week. And he was fecking diabolical. Didn't look remotely interested and seemed to be dropping very deep for the ball all game before being subbed off. Safe to say I'm getting a red arrow for sure.
3 people triple captained Deulofeu
5 weeks with Deeney. Nothing. Drop him this week. 2 goals. Naturally.
I'm amazed so many people had Deeney and Deulofeu to get stung
I am 100% i captained Anderson. And yet Son is my captain? That is fecking weird.
3 people triple captained Deulofeu
How does that happen? Remember seeing someone triple captain a defender who bagged a brace. Can honestly say I've never captained a defender let alone TC him.
The person who has the highest score currently has took a 40 point hit. Jesus Christmas
There was a time earlier in the season where captaining a defender was a good bet. Mendy and Alonso were firing big time.
Some people make new teams every week to get the highest scorer of the week award. I’d be shocked if any of those people who triple captained him were in the top 2 million
3k overall and 4th in the Caf league thanks to Deulofeu, too bad it will last only for a few more hours
Lucky man. I switched from him to Pogba at the last minute. Form > Fixtures.
Expecting to get destroyed by Son today and Auba owners tomorrow though.
I think Deulofeu is a class player with the benefit of playing out of position. He hasn’t got the returns lately but admittedly
Please drop him again. He's the differential for me.I swear Felipe Anderson is a bloody troll. Every time I bring him in he blanks. But when I drop him, the cnut keeps getting goals and assists
I captained Mendy when Aguero scored the hattrick. feck me.
Just pure gamblers luck.
Like the time a guy in our work league captained Vidic in some double game week where he kept 2 clean sheets and possibly scored 2?
Or the time someone captained a keeper who saved 2 pens.
Biggest luck I ever had was going to be with Everton drawing, and waking up to find Barkley had scored 2 pens in my team
Lukaku had gone off, so Barkley was on pens for the first time ever!
Great, Son captain fecked me over.
Hopefully Salah et al. blanks..

My ML rival had now three times benched Barnes but then had players missing when Barnes scores
I dumped Richarlison for 4.3 Hayden from
Newcastle. He repaid me with 8 points One of my very few good moves.
