Captain Stats
The captain options are very limited this week with injuries (Fabregas, Van der Vaart) and tough fixtures (Che @ Tot, Ars @ MNU) taking their tole. The best options to be found are:

•  Berbatov is averaging 10.83 PPG at home and has only failed to top 6 points once in all his home games this season. United project to score a couple of goals this week having averaged 3 GPG to date this year.
• Like his teammate, Nani is deadly at home and is averaging an impressive 9.14 PPG at Old Trafford. His last four games at home have seen him notch points totals of 10-14-5-12 making him a great option again this week.
• Drogba is not in good form and has not played well away from home all season (4.57 PPG). He is always an option given that he can score against anyone along with his recently acquired penalty duty but he is a risky pick.
• Torres has been brutal away from home and travels to a Newcastle side who are pretty useful at home (1.25 GPG). As with Drogba he's always an option and anyone can have a big day (see, Berbatov, Dimitar) but the odds say this won't be it (cut to a scene of dozens (yes, dozens) of readers immediately transferring in and captaining Torres. And yes, this is an attempted reverse jinx having picked him up last week).
