    I don't think that Drogba is 2m better than Tevez FF wise, and Malouda certainly isnt worth more than Nani looking at his recent returns.

        Is your team looking better as a result of shipping out Malouda?

        If Drogba's malaria affects his game similar to Kolo Toure I think you made a very wise move.

          Yeah much better. He just isn't worth 10 million odd in the team for an occasional goal which if you look at his stats is all he is getting now. For me he seems to score big only when Chelsea are steam-rolling other teams which they aren't doing at the moment.

    I pay this guy huge Euros so I said I might take a chance and captain him again even If he has a tough game versus Everton. If I remember well he is my most expensive player, I expect 2-4 goals in the Everton-Arsenal game, not so many have him anymore and even less will trust him the armband. That is all I need to know in order to captain Fabregas and so I did.

    But then again my usual captain choices fail badly. But when you need to count on someone when things are rough you will go to to the most expensive player, the most pivotal in Arsenal's game and to the game that you consider will have the most goals in it. There you go...

      Similar to me, I think the West Ham Vs Blackpool game will have most goals in. But I am fed up with expensive (C)'s doing badly. So therefore Piquionne.

        To be honest because for West Ham this game is extremely crucial, they might have Da Costa back, I believe they will play with caution. In my mind if Blackpool don't score too early in the game we might see a 1-0 or 2-0 but that is just my thinking. For Blackpool it is an important game but not crucial. They can afford to lose. Of course I can be wrong.

        If Piquionne is in those 1-2 goals that I expect then that captaincy won't be that bad eh?

      I went the same way as you hannibalos. The way my captain choices have gone previous weeks I would be happy with a measley assist and bonus point and Fab can do that in any game.

      Who were your other options?

        My other choices were VDV (had him like 10 minutes before deadline but I hate captains when half the world backs them) and maybe Torres. But to be honest it was between Fabregas and VDV. I might had considered captaining Da Costa but he is doubtful again!!

    Went for Fabregas as captain in the end.

    Literally couldn't decide between him and Tevez, much nicer when you are a bit mroe convinced one way or the other.

    Good luck all!

    Drogs is going to have a monster week. Sunderland don't have the enforcers at the back. Bramble? Turner? Ferdinand? This is his week to get back into form so he's the captain.

    Foster
    Bosingwa/Young/Toure
    Malouda/VDV/Bale/Ethers
    Drogba (c)/ Chamakh/Odemwingie

    Subs: Gilks/Elmo/Givet
    In the stands: Barton

      Turner was excellent against Spurs. He is not a bad defender at all. Ok for the other two you mentioned I have no complaints

    Probably regret dropping Drogba from captain, as I've captained him the last couple of weeks with no return. I've gone with

    Robinson (Foster)

    Williamson Konchesky Zhirkov (Elmo Foley)

    Fabs Malouda Adam Nani (Etuhu)

    Drogba Tevez (C) Caroll
