          i read somewhere that mancini said he is "70% fit" i think he'll start but might be taken off after 75mins (which is good)

    websites closed so good luck everyone. I went with drogba captain for a differential. I wander how many active players actually chose drogba captain this week. If your not captaining him at home to Sunderland you should have got rid weeks ago because he's so expensive. I think a massive week from drogba could see a lot of innactive players do well this week.

      Or he could do f all, maybe not start and certainly won't play 90 mins, plus not really a differential. All the clever people went for Fabs.

      He isn't in form though, and Chelsea's most creative midfielder in the 3 man mid is Zhirkov, I think anyone who captained him or Cole this week could do well.

      Chelsea just have been decimating teams like they did at the dawn of the season.

      I wanted to pick Drogba but his poor returns have f*cked me too many times, I was even considering dropping him, but was worried that he would come back and bit me in the ass with a hat trick or something.

    Well, call me mad but I've gone with Piquionne as captain this week.

    I need a differential, the guys in good form, is playing in a game where there should be lots of goals and, lately anyway, it seems that the best captain choices have ended up being the ones no one else had the guts to risk doing.

    I'm going to be that risk taker this week.

    Good luck all. Let's hope its a good week all round.

      Good shout, nomar. I obviously want Cole to play and do well, but hard to see Piquionne scoring less than 6 points today.

          Spot on.. Whats the point of having managers if they cant put out what team they want. They gave big mick a hard time last year but he kept wolves up doing it his own way. It's ridiculous .

        Villa's youth system seems to be one of the best around. Shame they can't keep their players though.

            they're just starting to bring through some good players like ably , clark, bannan, i think i'm right in saying their youth recently won the league and cup double the other year there.

        havent a clue why he is behind rafeal but his value could drop below 5m and he'd be a bargain when there are injuries

    o'shea isn't a rotation risk

    he isn't part of the first XI! Only plays when there are injuries elsewhere, so a stopgap at best

    Ok looks as though everyone ahead of me has captained either Drogba or Malouda. Here's hoping for a big fat zero from both of em.
