Welcome back to another edition of Calvin’s Captains. It’s round 21, we are almost there but there is still work to be done. Last week we saw the highest score for the year with Nasiah hitting 182. Will we see the same again this week?

On a whole captains were pretty good last week so fingers crossed we can do it again.

FORM v OPPONENT

This week we are looking going to look at a top-6? Why? We’ll… because I want to included Sheezel in there as well, because this week my top-3 is very clear cut… whereas Dawson, Nasiah andSheezel will take some splitting, so you can decide for yourself.

Form (F) v Opponent (O) is always a huge issue when it comes to picking a captain. Players like Dawson (great O, poor F), Sheezel (great F, poor O), Nasiah (great F, poor O, and possible tag) – will be a huge issue and a topic of debate for captain picking this week.

My decsion this week has been nased on – who could you roll with as the C… going all in? Choosing someone with a tag or poor match-up just seems way too risky for my liking.

Hopefully… we get a great VC score from Thursday/Friday night and then we won’t have to make what is a very tricky decision.
