I know I must be missing something. Just started playing a Blue Square premier team (my first season) but I can't seem to work out how to appoint a captain?
You need to go onto your tactics screen and click the button on the bottom right. It should give you an option to view tactical instructions, set pieces, appoint captains, etc.
But remember that the captain has a real influence on the team. If your captain is a defensive sort of player, your team will lean towards being more defensive and so on.
