Santa has been buy of the season. Still love Torres mind, they'd make a decent partnership but we should be looking at what we have.. Babel for one!

After failing twice before, I swapped the captaincy over to Fab last week. It's unlikely Rooney will start so Ronaldo is a must to play (anyone know if Ronny does worse when playing without Rooney?) I feel Derby will score a goal. 4-1 Blackburn. I have Santa and Bentley Elsewhere I think Bolton have a chance of a clean sheet, a do Villa and Everton are hardly scoring at all.

Undoubtedly Gallas will act like an arrogant tosser for most of the game before fly kicking a clearance in the box straight to Yak who will put his big toe through it and break the back of the net. So yeah I think Arsenal will concede....... Well Arsenal conceded 2 against Derby which is about 20% of the goals Derby have scored all season.

It's passed a lot of time at work reading all the comments and looking at your advice. As for this week, i'm going with Bentley for captain. I'm thinking a 3 - 0 win for Blackburn, with a goal and two assists for Bentley, plus a nice big bonus. I've also *Finally* got rid of Almuina. He's had no points for weeks, and its been the brave Craig Gordon whos been jumping in... and frankly my points have suffered. So its Friedel this week. Any of you guys worried bout the Arsenal Everton game? Will Arsenal concede a goal you reckon?

Villa's last four games have had at least 4 goals in them, whilst Wigan's last 4 games have not had more than 2 goals in them, so something has to give! After all the huff and puff, 2-1 to Villa.

Just to illustrate how good Wigan's defence has been, since the turn of the year they have conceded 13 goals in 16 games and have produced 8 cleansheets (v Derby twice, West Ham, Man City, Arsenal, Bolton, Birmingham and Reading). There are admittedly some poor teams in there. In the 8 games they have conceded in 2008 only once have they let in 3 (v Blackburn) and three times 2 goals (v Sunderland, Everton and Portsmouth - 3 out of 4 were away games). Add on the fact that they have away draws with Chelsea and Liverpool and there is suddenly some doubt on the likelihood of Villa scoring a couple of goals. Nevertheless, they are banging them in at the moment, so it could end up 0-0 or 3-1. Sorry…had to get the stats out…

In fact I'm banking on it helping chelsea win the league on the last game of the season! My advice on captain would be go Ronaldo to consolidate your league position, go Barry, bentley or santa if you need to gain points.
