CAPTAIN choice dictated our Post Fantasy League winners once again, with two managers sharing the glory in gameweek 23. Chenla FC, guided by Saray Ros, and Chelsea, led by the imaginatively titled Chelsea Junior, both scored a total of 77 points, in no small thanks to captain Frank Lampard, whose brace bagging antics netted 32 for the teams. With Chelsea winning 3-0 midweek, both rosters also benefited from including Michael Ballack for 6 points. A Cellcard phone voucher worth US$20 and T-shirt await both parties. Next gameweek deadline is the normal 5:30pm Saturday.
