How does the vice captain work.

Post by GoonerBoy »

Today I have Costa (c) who doesnt play so 0 pts & Aguero (v) 21. If I leave Costa in do I still get my vice points if I make other sub's around these two and leave them in?
Its not clear in the rules or FAQ and l am lost?

"If a manager substitution or captain change is made then no automatic substitutions or vice captain changes will take place on your team that Gameweek."

So any manual intervention by you will mean your vice-captaincy will be worthless.

Depending on what your team is you could have an interesting problem. Sit and do nothing and keep 42 pts for Aguero, or make transfers, thereby reducing Aguero's score to 21 pts. This will at least also give you a new captain, something like a Liverpool capt and then a Man Utd one if the Liverpool one flops.

Usually losing the 21 pts would be worthwhile.

Damn, I didn't realise that about the vice captain. I had Costa captain this week and Hazard as (v) and then changed to Eriksen who got a big fat 0. Tonight I put Rodwell in as captain knowing he wasn't playing so therefore assuming I would get Hazard as captain.
