    Ok guys, here in my probably Crazy method in how im picking my Captain this week.....

    I have Teves, Drog and Gerrard

    Teves - NO because he played midweek could be a bit tired, Newcastle can be a good side when they want to be.

    Drog - NO because, i think arsenal will be all over him, sometimes when u have to feild a week team everyone pulls together and tries harder to try earn permenant roles. I can see Drog being marked out and Molouda/Anelka scoring

    Gerrard - YES Like Drog rested midweek. They are playing Blackpool, 3 goals in last 2 games, at the moment knowbody in my league has him, so if he does well could be a big increase in points for me. Loads have Drog and Teves so at lease I would get half there points if they did have them as capt.

    Does this make any sense. I have had crap luck so far with Capt! Somone please give me some much needed input lol

    Current draft which will undoubtedly change:

    Foster Krul
    Dann Mummy Alex Alcaraz Salicido
    Barton Toure Malouda Gerrard Nani
    Odemwingie Berbatov Drogba

    Gerrard > Fabregas when Fabregas is back in action.

      Ouit of the 2 Arshavin. Purely based on the fact that Johnson is likely to bench warm due to Thursday game. However if he plays he'll certainly have a better time against the Magpies than Arsenal will against the blues. Maybe play Johnson and have Arshavin as first sub and hop Mancini doesn't stick him on for 10 mins?

      I'm gunning for you DFD.
      Shame I can't make up too many points in FPL or Metro, so IKTS it is.
      I have a good feeling about my pin the tail on the donkey method this week.

              Haha - No trannies for me. Relying on a supersub (probably Adam over Carroll) this week instead. 2 saved for either the International break or the Fabregas shuffle.

                I need to drop Drogs for Cesc - GW10 would be my plan for that trade. Just not sure yet. I'm doing Bale to Arteta soon ShawX will be downgraded and Alex & Larsson will soon shift so I'm pretty much sorted transfer wise for next few weeks.
                Just got to place the price game though to dictate when those moves will be most profitable.

    Cheggers.... *moves Ferguson out and Carroll in* 🙂

    I don't think there'll be much in it though. Arteta to take the 3 BPs with Ferguson getting 2 max, probably.

      I'm sticking with Ferguson.
      Can't see Carroll scoring or getting any bonus against City.
