Gameweek 26 – The FPL Captain Poll

Filed under: Fantasy Football Team Selection - Posted by: Andy

Right then, we’ve only just swallowed down the gameweek that was 25, where Wayne Rooney delivered as expected and brought home the bacon and Didier Drogba continued in his blistering form as if he’d never been away.

However, with another batch of fixtures right around the corner closing in on us already, it’s time to weigh up the options for our fantasy armband in what will be another FPL double gameweek.

With Manchester City, Bolton, Stoke and Wigan all having the luxury of two games rather than one this week I imagine their players will catch more than a few eyes – but these aren’t your Rooneys or Fabregas’ we’re talking about, so I’m sure there will be a certain level of trepidation in doing so. Maybe Drogba away at Everton might be tempting instead, perhaps Jermain Defoe at Wolves or even Rooney himself at Villa Park?

Either way, we haven’t got much time so get voting and use this post as your platform for discussion.

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
