Drogba or bust.
That’s pretty much what the results of our Captain’s Poll is telling us this week; Didier Drogba is set to walk away with the armband crown at a canter, and is on 57% of those polled to date. It’s a one horse race, unless of course, you fancy a gamble or find yourself forced to back another nag.
Will a french filly named Malouda be enough to tempt you his way instead? He’s currently galloping along in second place with just 12% of your vote to date; behind him in third is the new flourishing breed from Holland – Van Der Vaart’s form is good but he’s still only clocked up a modest 8% of the vote to this point.
The real long shots aren’t getting much of a look in from our betting public. The horses in question are Carlos Tevez, Nani and Ashley Cole, all straggling along at the back, with just a few punters willing to gamble their Fantasy stake money. The remainder of the runners include the likes of Dimitar Berbatov, Fernando Torres, Gareth Bale, Cesc Fabregas and Steven Gerrard – all big big names who to this point, have gathered just 7% of the vote. Conditions will surely improve for that pack in future Gameweeks, but as far as this weekend is concerned, they’re doing all they can to avoid the glue factory.
So, who are you backing? Don’t forget to go to the frontpage and place your vote and let us know all the same. Particularly if you’re one of the brave, or foolish, few who will be looking beyond the Ivorian thoroughbred.
