    I have a choice of VDV or Fab for Captain. I have finally decided on Fab for the following reasons...

    1. Everton are likely to attack Arsenal more than Blackburn will Spurs so I think that will leave them open to defense splitting passes from Fab

    2. Spurs have quite a few injuries

    3. Fab is a differential in my league

    4. Fab's game is on TV so I can get even more excited.

    Anyone wanna persude me otherwise ?

        He's my captain at the moment. I think people are worried that it will be a nil nil game.

        I don't agree. Birmingham are awful on the road and City will look at this kind of game as a must win affair. They played negatively against Utd because it was a local derby and Utd are still one of the best teams in the continent. They don't need to fear Birmingham in the same way.

        I can see Tevez getting a goal or assist and some bonus points.

        That said though, I have N'Zogbia, Piquionne and Fabs who could all have monster weeks too and half of me says captain piquionne as a differential this week.

        This season seems to have favoured the brave and I can see a lot of goals in that game for both teams.

      I'm not sure I like any of those choices this week. Nolan looks to be the best choice.

      No dilemma at all. Van der Vaart is nailed on to score at home. That's an easy ten points straight away.
