Monday Morning Center-Back


Didier Flying High on an Arsenal Double

Looking back on the weekend of fixtures it is easy to say the cream has risen to the top. Both Drogba and Rooney continued to build on their excellent form as they each found the net over the weekend. It is hard to say who to pick for you team or who to pick as your captain (if you happen to have both), but choosing between these two strikers will be crucial in the upcoming game weeks as the season winds down.

Currently Drogba is a little cheaper than Rooney and is owned by 23% of fantasy managers (vs. Rooney who is 47% owned). The Ivory Coast international scored twice against the Gunners on Sunday, and should have made it three with an absolute cracker of a free kick that found the woodwork. Currently Drogba has more multiple goal games than Rooney this season, and looks poised to deliver a few doubles before the seasons over. With Chelsea's moderate strength of schedule through March and his current form, Drogba (not Terry) looks like the man to give the armband to over the next few weeks.

Live Game Feed: Gameweek 25


Liverpool 1 - 0 Everton; The Merseyside Derby goes to the Reds - Dirk Kuyt showing good form lately with 4 goals in 4 games. He is a great value play at the price of £9.2, especially when only 9.8% owned and is currently the 3rd ranked midfielder in points

Bolton 0 - 0 Fulham; zZzZzZzZzzzzzz....... Fulham miss Zamora, Dempsey & Johnson (out for season) and so do spectators - Damien Duff has not found his form yet with 0 goals & assists in his last four, yet he is owned by 12.8% of fantasy managers.... might be worth a drop

Manchester United 5 - 0 Portsmouth; Can't remember the last time I saw three own goals in a game, Portsmouth surely look like they are ready for relegation; Wayne Rooney continues to be on form, no reason not to own him at this point

Sunderland 1 - 1 Wigan; Kenwyne Jones' second half equalizer gives Sunderland a point; Where in the world has Darren Bent gone? The once red hot striker has cooled off, only 1 goal in his last 4 games

Hull City 2 - 1 Manchester City; Hull City take the upset of the week title with their win over Mancini's men. Tevez & company looked a step behind today, but look for him and Adebayor to pick up the scoring over their next two matches - Bolton (A) and Stoke (H)

England's Captain No More


John Terry wont be jumping for joy today - his captaincy has been stripped from him due to his recent actions with a former teammates wife (for those who have been living under a rock the story can be found here). I wonder how this is going to effect the mentality of Chelsea's back line going into a tight title race with Manchester United....

Also has anyone thought why Chelsea doesn't care about him being their captain?
