The next instalment in our “Talent” series for Members turns the spotlight on Chris Eagles. These articles focus on players whose recent fixtures have seen an upturn in Fantasy fortunes and, with 35 points since gameweek eight, the Trotters winger is ripe for analysis.

Using our own ICT Index and the Opta stats available, we sift through the data to determine just how much of an extra impact Eagles has made in recent games. With 3 goals and 1 assist over those four matches, he’s been the driving force behind a couple of wins that have lifted the Trotters off the foot of the table and sees them sit just three points off eleventh place.

Breaking down the campaign into two distinct parts, here’s a look at his performances compared to Martin Petrov on the flank for Owen Coyle’s side…

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Your GK combo is crap... I should know I have the same and it must change

      You will have the same forwarders as me this week so I hope they are good

      Defence and Midfield looks decent enough to me, although Jags may not play.. I would trf Moses out ASAP

      Defence looks good although I still expect us to concede against Wolves.

      Midfield looks good except for the Messiah..

    Chaps, 2 quick questions:

    - Best monobrow replacement? Brown, Wilkinson or McAuley? Rest of defence is Komps, Enrique and Ward (and De Lol).

    - City have Napoli and Liverpool away after Newcastle, worth getting Silva in this week?

    This is sad but I had a fantasy (no pun) dream last night.

    Took out Agbonlahor for Bendtner but Gabby came back to haunt me by scoring at WHL whilst Bendtner did a "Moses".

    Brought in Drenthe who funnily enough got booked, grabbed an assist and was taken off by the Gingerman to avoid being sent off. 4 points.

    All this for a 4 point hit.

        I don't know anyone who actually rates Bendy Bus, not even Boris Johnson. Although Bendtner for some reason rates himself though. That said FPL wise hes cheap plays up front for an ok sunderland side who have a great run of fixtures... and if you stick it in the box enough, which sunderland do as they have alright supply, then eventually a middle ranking visiting team that has travelled all the way up there is going to concede, because they will be so depressed at being in sunderland they will give up. What about Conner Whickhem eh?

          Larsson is suspended so not sure where the delivery is going to come from. Sess reminds of Drenthe footballing-wise. They both run at players, have countless shots and score the occasional one and normally set up a goal.

        good knowledge. I can understand how FPL might manage to Fernado Torres that open goal, but it probably isn't to hard to make it a consistant ruling.

        Ramsey is alright- he putters along with some fairly average scores but ships in 5 fairly regularly and one day soon he will be double figures... given arses form he should be getting more, but hes fairly good value for 6.5
