    Unless you know for sure, I would assume that you are not correct.

    This is a simple game based on numbers. Before the game, if your number is higher than the opponents, you will win. The game creates the drama before and during the game to entertain you. The fact that a player is both legged just gives you a higher number. The fact that your player is Canadian give you a higher number ()

    Captain, on the other hand, confuses me. One would think there is a reason to have it other than every team in sports has one.
    Does it give you a benefit? That, amigo, is something I would like to find out. Maybe you get an extra 1% possession if your named captain is on the field? Who knows?

    You can name up to 10 players in order of preference to be Captain, so the chances of your named Captain playing would be very high

    Indeed. I do not have any clue as the benefits, if any, of naming up to 10 captains. Perhaps Nordeus can enlighten us?

    I'm sure I read somewhere in a thread there wasn't any benefits, so you might as well make your oldest player Captain to keep him happy - but keeping him happy would surely improve his morale, no? Don't hold your breath though waiting for enlightenment

    For all we know... some players may have that hidden leadership skills where some players can inspire and lead team to success where other players are better at simply being just a team player.
