The Captain Poll – Gameweek Ten

29 October 2010 721 comments

Andy

The captain’s poll this week is fairly indicative of one key decision that needs making ahead of Gameweek 10, and something which we will be covering in more detail as the day rolls on. Let’s take a quick wander through how it is shaping up so far…

Cesc Fabregas
Arsenal Captain. Penalty taker (we think). Bonus Point Hogger. Nobel Prize Winner. He’s just about got it all, and he’s also got a march on all the competition at the forefront of captain’s poll this week with 59% of votes so far. All of the aforementioned, tied in with a home fixtures against West Ham (bottom of the table and having just played 120 minutes of Carling Cup action), are all simple indications as to why Cesc is ahead, and well ahead at that; he’s a fantasy thoroughbred. For the views of a select bunch of Scouts on the Spaniard, keep your eyes peeled on the site a little later today.

Samir Nasri
Arsenal midfielder. Back-up penalty taker (we think). Recent friend of the Bonus point judges. Fifth grade spelling competition winner. He’s beginning to live up to his “new Zidane” billing, and for those Fantasy Managers seemingly shy of the money, is representing the next best option in the captains trail ahead of the Gameweek. The Frenchman’s selection as “the next best option” makes it clear that Arsenal are the forefront of most people looking to captain this week with his 15% (along with Chamakh and Nasri too) meaning the team as a whole claim 77% approval.

The rest…
There’s not much meat left on the bone after the Arsenal contingent are taken out of the equation, but a handful of Fantasy Managers do seem set on looking beyond The Emirates. A paltry 7% of managers will be hoping that Didier Drogba bounces back from his irregular 2 point captain’s debacle last week; he faces Blackburn who have a tough home defence boosted by the return of Samba and Nelsen, but you can never bet against the Ivorian. Despite facing his old club, Dimitar Berbatov has only managed to sneak 1% of the vote while team-mate Nani has 2% ahead of the game versus Spurs. It’s slim pickings out there.

Which Arsenal player are you backing then? Are you one of the select few not putting your faith in The Gunners? If you’ve yet to vote head back to the frontpage and do so, whilst remembering to back here and join the impending discussion on those choices made.

So with Chamakh not playing in the Carling cup game in midweek, and Bendtner playing 84 minutes, can we assume Chamakh starts, and most likely gets replaced by Bendtner late on?

Trying to justify Tevez > Chamakh for 4 point hit

  From last thread:
  
  Johnny Unitas says:Play safe RBJ. Drogba didn’t score last week, he will be mad to score, bad idea if you ask me, I think Newcastle match could be low scoring until 70th minute when Dazzler Bent knocks in a goal, and it to be equalised by a Kevin Nolan pen on 83minutes, 1-1

  Its clearly a big risk, and you seem to be aware of that. I would be stunned if there are actually 6 attacking players in your team that you think are more likely to score than Drogs.

    Mentalish. If Drog scores 2+ you'll really fall behind your rivals (pretty much everyone who owns Drog, and that's a fair few, will play him). Pea doesn't have a particularly easy fixture and neither does Carroll.

Good news for anyone that is getting Heskey/Has him (Well only really me but y'know). Quote of off Villa's website (Actual article posted sometime today).

The manager has also praised another one of Villa's more experienced players, Emile Heskey

I can't see him not starting then. Which (Surprisingly) the only thing that was stopping me getting Heskey.

        nah buddy , malouda is in a better team, on better form
        
        and this phantom rest debate is a load of kak,put him in your team and leave him there for the season
        
        gerrard will play 90 minutes most games, malouda might be rested the odd time. BUT who do you reallly think will have the highest points yield come end of the season? no doubts in my mind!
        
        and it is points you want, right?

        15 years, 6 months ago
        The only reason I (and a few people on here, I think) bought Gerrard was to keep Fabs' spot warm for him, to make it easier to get Fabs back in without hits / reshuffling.
        
        If he was playing in the hole behind Torres, maybe keep him, but he's been playing a lot deeper this season.
        
        Malouda might miss the next game, possibly, but long-term I think he'll outscore Gerrard.

  The only inkling I can get from Ancelotti's press conference is that he wants goals and to make sure of a win.

    Blackburn away is a tricky fixture. Rovers are decent on their home ground and are tight at the back... he surely has to play his full team, with CL qualification almost guaranteed anyway.

I don't think it's worth it.

There aren't enough good strikers worth 5.2m. And you have Nasri, so you should benefit in some way from Arsenal's good run of fixtures without getting Fabregas in.

I would spend the extra money on a good direct replacement for Tevez. Leave out Fabregas.

Not sure what to do here. Berba or Chamakh? i know arsenal have good fixtures but I can see Berba sticking one against his old club! Its either Nani and Chamakh or Nasri and Berbatov. Any suggestions?

  I think Nani and Baby Cham, I think Nani is a better player than Berbatov and Nasri and with things like that it should come down to who you think is the better player.

  You'd be a fool to drop Nani. Look further ahead than the next two fixtures. Hint: Blackburn and Wigan at home.

  if its one of those 2, it has to be nani and cham,
  
  nani is central to united at the moment (you could argue the same for berb, but i beleive more so in nanis case!)
  
  as for chamakh v nasri, nasri has done well of late buit his returns will begin to suffer with fab back in the team as noticed in other seasons.
  
  cham could bang in one or 2 against a poor west ham

    Yeah, that is a good point. Anyone think Walcott is good option for this week after his brace in the carling cup? I can see Denilson being dropped to make space for him back on the wing with Nasri coming back into the middle

        I think it might be Fabianski
        Sagna Squillaci Djourou Clichy
        Walcott Song Fabs Nasri
        Arshavin Chamakh.
        
        Nasri could also play off chamakh and let arshavin out on the wing. It is a risk to get Walcott but its a very tempting prospect with all of his pace against that West Ham defence!

OK some current thoughts...

Walcott: will start on the bench with Nasri out wide - likely to come on at some point in the 2nd half.

Malouda: Will start. Chelsea have almost qualified in Europe and Rovers away isn't straight forward. He'll need his strongest lineup.

Berbatov: Didn't play mid week so for me, that insinuates he'll be started at the weekend... and will score 7+ points 😉
