Tell me about it. I debated til the last minute whether to make Fabregas or Drogba my captain. 32 points for Fabregas and 4 for Drogba. Unfortunately I went for Drogba as captain.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
I have 3 United and 3 Villa players in my team, none of whom play this weekend.
Ouch.
Ouch.
I had the same decision - thankfully I went for Fabregas - good job as well since I only have about 7 players actually playing this weekend
I have both, but how anyone could captain Fabregas, away to Stoke, who are good at home, over Droggy, scored twice last game and home to City, who are shit away, is beyond me.
I seriously don't know wtf is going on anymore.

Daft bloody game.
Or shit luck.Basically it was a tactical masterstroke on my behalf
But congrats anyway.
True, this
And by some miracle you won. Luck of the draw.
I made the same decision and it seemed pretty logical to me..
That was my reasoning for going with Drogba over Fabregas, but it turned out to be wrong.
I think I confused you people.. I chose Fabregas as my captain..
Great minds Chirag
So I assume everyone will be going for Fab as captain this week?
Since I am a fair bit behind, I may go for someone else - need to gamble to try and catch up.
I went for Fabregas as Captain today and he only last about 36 minutes. But the most disappointing thing is I took a four point hit to try to field a full team and one of the players I brought in was Bendtner and if he had took his chances today I may have finished first over all for the week.
Well well. Top, Roods and yours truly are juxtapositioned, just like last year.
All we have to do now is start a new league which none of the other feckers can enter.

Now we just need Top to flake out and we have a 2 horse race
Mike,
I see you're doing well to keep that 20 point buffer between us... but you're going to have trouble if Milner performs, tomorrow. I might need to summon the footy God.

Heh, I think I was in the bottom 5 of the Caf league the first 4 rounds.
Overall Rank Form
Useless Liverpool, couldn't even keep a clean sheet when I've got Insua in the team. Meanwhile Steinsson is on the bench with pockets full of points.
For 3 seasons of Fantasy football, whenever I've picked Gerrard in my team Torres scores a ton. Whenever I pick Torres, he gets injured.
feck you Gerrard. feck you.
feck you Gerrard. feck you.
I've realised all I do in this thread is moan about how much I hate fantasy football, so on a brighter note: I am up to 5th. yay!
Footy Gods came through for me: James Milner scores!
I'm back in the hunt... still should have chosen Rooney for captain, but I'll take 18 points.

Wait for the Bonus mate.. He is sure to get some if not all 3.. Which will mean only 2 points less than what Rooney got if chosen as the captain..
Goals from Caldwell and Captain Milner for me tonight! Plus N'Zogbia assist. Nice. Think I must be close to 3rd after this.
Not a bad week, 90 points, but this the second double week that I have had three Villa players and they have failed to deliver the goods, one goal between the three. Plus how can Titus Bramble play two complete games and get zero points?
A lot of questions for next week with all those teams playing twice.
Do I put Valencia and Bendtner on my bench and play Jarvis of Wolves and Dann of Birmingham because they play twice?
Whether to captain Milner again or switch to Drogba is another question?

Good call... puts me in the 10 spot for the Head-to-Head... and 24th. On my way back into the thick of it.
I see your having some luck on the Head to head.. I have had terrible luck on that, which is why I am 25th in that and 8th in the League..
feck you James Milner. feck you very much.
This is going to be a terrible round. Most of my players from today ony have 1 or 0 points. Wigan among the only teams to keep a clean sheet, so naturally Scharner had to go off after 30 minutes.
Though at least I have Steinsson a couple places back on the bench.

that was shit.
glad i drafted in Bent as last minute extra transfer - although i did swap Fabregas for Milner so need him to deliver midweek
I think I just made a really shit move by removing Rooney and drafting in a striker who is playing 2 games.. leaving aside the loss I would make if I decide to buy Rooney back..
It's a good day!
Arteta, O'Hara and Fabregas have made this a good week for me!
Up to 3rd now, 8 players to play again, 7 if Ivanovic is out injured.

Closing in on you, Mr. Marching.
You seem confused Rob...the red arrow alongside your name means you have gone down, not up.Closing in on you, Mr. Marching.
That's how you do it, folks. My worst round ever, though luckily some players play twice.
Luckily it wasn't and news that he may be injured for the weekends game.. Which may make me lucky enough to see some people sell and hence lead for his price to drop a few points.. Is it just me or does anyone else have 11 players who are due to play 2 games? I just hope squad rotation doesn't feck me over..
I predict the arrow with be flashing 'Green' with a blinking 'JACKPOT' above it, by tomorrow evening.You seem confused Rob...the red arrow alongside your name means you have gone down, not up.
Goal from Captain Drogba and now one from Malouda (and another)... picking up steam!
No way... another goal combo of Malouda - Drogba
