Captain Sensible – Gameweek 23

We roll out the next instalment of our weekly article for Members tonight, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the set of fixtures ahead. With Luis Suarez topping the Captain Poll, we assess the Everton defence ahead of the Anfield Merseyside derby. We also dig deep into the data of Eden Hazard and Samuel Eto’o ahead of the home game against West Ham, whilst Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney’s prospects are also discussed, with the latter now back in full training ahead of Cardiff’s visit on Tuesday evening:

    Ramsey was so close to dropping yesterday, then his flag was changed to green without him even playing thus resetting his NTI?!

    Am I imagining things when other players have taken ages to have their flag removed? It's not even gone to yellow!

    Sky Sports understands Newcastle and Paris St Germain have agreed a deal in principle for Yohan Cabaye. Newcastle have already rejected a £14million offer and PSG's new bid is 'substantially higher' than that figure amid reports the Magpies want at least £20million for the France international midfielder.
