Spain international Fabregas was handed the armband on Monday after William Gallas was relieved of the duty following controversial comments about his team-mates.
Flamini spent four years at Arsenal, enjoying his best form at Emirates Stadium last season, before signing for Italian giants AC Milan in the summer.
The Frenchman was in action in Thursday's 2-2 Uefa Cup draw at Portsmouth and, speaking after the game, he backed Arsene Wenger's decision to appoint Fabregas as skipper.
He told Sky Sports News: "I am not surprised by the choice. I have talked with him [Fabregas] a bit about it and he is very happy.
Gallas' words
"It is great for him, for the club and for the fans. He is a big player in that team. I think he deserves it."
When asked if he understood Gallas' criticism of his team-mates, Flamini said: "It is difficult to say. William Gallas wanted maybe a reaction from his team-mates.
"It is never easy to know what to do. Maybe it will be positive and there will be a reaction from the team."
Of Arsenal's testing start to the season, he added: "Big clubs can have difficult periods. But there is a lot of quality at Arsenal so I am sure they will go forward.
"The important thing is to keep working hard and I am sure they will be okay. They have some amazing players."

How amazing would it have been if Mathieu Flamini was still in Arsenal?
AC Milan drew with Portsmouth 2-2..and they should have lost by right. Two goals from Ronaldinho and Inzaghi during the dying minutes of the game helped them salvage a point from Fratton Park.
How do you feel, Mathieu? AC Milan is greater than Arsenal, eh?
How would it have been if you just decided to stay on at the Emirates?
Wouldn't you have been able to win the hearts of the millions of Arsenal fans around the world?
How did it feel when you left us..and you knew that we wanted you to stay?
Hope you're enjoying your life at Milan..and don't ever repent leaving Arsenal..cause its too late.
You have left us for good.
You'd never be part of Arsenal again..ever.
Thanks for the good times you gave us though..I appreciate it.
But I don't appreciate the fact that you left Arsenal..
All right. Went out today to Causeway.
Thanks for all the birthday presents (: (:
I really really appreciate them (:
Watched KM31(Hell's highway) at first. It was rated sixteen (I AM LEGAL to watch it!).
It was quite crappy...Shalini wanted to watch it cause it was a horror movie. I wanted to watch it cause it was a SPANISH movie.
But it really sucked..I didn't even fully understand it! Shalini fell asleep while watching please! And the climax was SUPER gory..but anyway..I don't recommend anyone to watch it..unless you are sure to be able to understand the plot.
And if you do, please be a kind soul and explain it to me (: Thanks.
Then after that..Shalini, Kiru and I watched Quarantine!
It was quite good...but I got super irritated while watching cause the stupid woman(the main character) kept screaming! And it was REALLY getting on my nerves cause I couldn't understand what she was saying! And the camera was shaking TOOOOO much..especially towards the end. I sort of had a headache after watching it. But I would give Quarantine 3/5.
It was the remake of REC...but PLEASE, WATCH REC BEFORE WATCHING QUARANTINE!
If you don't understand Spanish, get subtitles. The Spanish version which is the original version is SO much better. Quarantine is only okay.
It is slightly..different from REC. But still REC is better. The acting was much more real and the main character doesn't scream until she pisses you off.
So yea..like I guessed..Quarantine was not really good. Maybe if I had watched Quarantine and not REC, I might have liked Quarantine more. But REC was soo good man..and next to it, Quarantine kind of sucked. Yea. Thats in my opinion anyway.
All right..I feel really cynical. You can probably infer that from my post.
I am in a sort of angry mood. UGH! Its hard to control emotions.
Anyway..thanks to Tharsh, Dhanya, Kiru and Shalini..I really loved today's company from all of you and thanks soo much for those presents (:
And I hope you liked the Swensens treat even though the service was really bad. But yea.
All of us wore jerseys today..well except Shalini cause I forgot to bring for her my fake Arsenal jersey to wear.
I wore the AUTHENTIC ARSENAL JERSEY. And this guy who walked past me went like,"Ooh, Arsenal eh?"
And I'm like..er okayy. Ofcourse I support and love Arsenal..if not, why would I wear an Arsenal jersey!?
All right. I should stop now. My mood swings are taking their toll on me.
All right..have a great weekend people!
BUH-BYEE!
