There are 2 twitter polls which ask who your captain will be. Only 1 this week though
The last 1 is a low volume site poll where there is no question.

Summary
With Mane injured and Salah not playing in the FA Cup 4th round replay this week he seems certain to start. As does Aubameyang after suspension. Aguero is a bit more difficult as he played the full EFL semi final vs Man Utd and has a ready made replacement in Jesus. It is a big game though so you’d think Pep would go with his A team but Pep is hard to predict
Aguero heads the bookies polls at £1.61 anytime goalscorer with Salah £1.67
The Polls are resoundingly with Salah with others far behind
The FFGeek contributors have 19 going for Salah and 1 for Firmino.
The FFGeek choice
If you saw my FFGeek team selection article you’ll know I’m going for Salah with De Bruyne vice. I don’t have Aguero but I think I would go for Salah anyway given the polls.
Good luck whoever you choose
