In the first instalment of a new, weekly article for members, we conduct some in-depth statistical analysis into one of the most crucial aspects in any given Gameweek – just who we entrust with the Fantasy armband. This week the options are plentiful – Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham all feature at home, City travel to basement-dwellers Sunderland, while a couple of Belgians are also in the running as clear captain contenders. With an array of talent on show, just who is “Captain Sensible”?

    Everytime i post about Oscar having a horrid game i'm dismissed as a hazard owner! as a chelsea fan i could not give a flying feck as long as we play well and oscar has been poor 3 games in a row now. does not mean hazard will start or anythin.. but stop sayin oscar is nailed on cause he played 80 mins today... 🙂

          He said that lets talk about Willian and Schurrle today, That probably meant that they have earned their places for the weekend. And Oscar is his blue eyed boy.

      There must be something about Oscar that Mourinho likes.

      Never criticizes him openly and often praises him and I think that's what makes Oscar nailed.

    I can understand Mourinhos angry reaction towards several players, he hates losing to French teams, Newcastle was the last straw!

      Just watched the goal again and really Subotic should be looking at his marking. Got himself in a right mess.

    is Lampard finished? Any other season he would be worth a look in with the current situation with Chelsea mids?

    I'm really tempted to get him for Michu but will he start?

      I don't think he's worth the 9.0 price he is now though. He doesn't offer enough going forward in FPL, he's JM golden boy becasue of his defensive contribution.

      Bottom line is, Jose took him off 10 mins from the end with the game already won. That is not a tactical subbing, that's a pre weekend start subbing.
