We roll out the second instalment of our new weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the Gameweek ahead. With Liverpool, City and Arsenal squaring up to some resilient defences, we delve into the data in order to assess our armband possibilities.

I can't bear to watch Faye and Chester mock me for another week. Is Faye -> McAuley (-4) worth it?
Open Controls-
i love your grav 😀 and yes could be worth it, depends on your other defs and who youd play
Open Controls-
It's my face when I look at my rank (:

sort of depends on your bench, but yes probably.

Thanks for the replies, unfortunately I just logged in to do it and realised i'm 1m short LOL. *scrumples up piece of paper and throws in bin*

So...............
Talksport are saying that Suarez is out of the weekends derby!Open Controls-
must be true then
Open Controls -
Talkshite I hope
Open Controls -
Glad I didn't make any transfers. 😉
Open Controls -
I doubt that considering Liverpool let Suarez use there private jet to get back to England after his international game. I doubt they would do that for someone who won't start this weekend.

OP has sturridge but no suarez
nice trolling

they mean "out" as in "nailed on".

Talksport are usually quite decent with their breaking news accuracy.

classic case of bullshit headline, which says "Everton v Liverpool line ups – Suarez out for the Reds?
- then the line up they predict in the article actually includes him, while twitter goes mental about the headline. classic stuff. 🙂Open Controls-

Long term
a) Vert and Sess
b) Dawson/Chiriches and a 9.0 mid (other than Wally)
c) Walker and an 8.3 mid
❓Open Controls-
-
b)
Open Controls-
what mid though?
Open Controls-
Think there are better mids than Sess that will outscore him by more than the Vert > Dawson difference.
Open Controls-
but who, I have Oscar atm, but am not convinced. I could keep him though and try to swap to Hazard on wc?
Open Controls-
Until the Jan WC, I think the difference is minimal in defence compared to mids. Coutinho would be on my wishlist.
Open Controls-
Just looked at Sess' fixtures
AVL, new, MCI, NOR, car, HUL
Maybe sell Oscar to Theo in GW14, then re-asses or get a cheaper defender than Spurs (West Ham maybe) to fund Hazard?Open Controls

what mid, unless I keep Oscar and wait a couple more weeks and sell Theo to Sess
Other option is to keep Sess, and swap McAuley and Coleman to Baines and DawsonOpen Controls

Could this impact on Croatia WC place.Open Controls -
Someone talk to me about Jesus Navas.
Open Controls-
Fast. Good crosser. But overrated. Bad fpl option. Hard working. Looks like a goblin, knows it.
Open Controls-
Didn't the manager bring him in specifically to give Citeh extra width and pace to suit his preferred method of attacking play. Could he improve?
Open Controls

-
Yeh . I like it. :): I'm thinking he may have more to offer and just needs a little more time to gel.
Open Controls-
He's one of those players that needs a consistent run of games to build up his confidence and form, he's certainly not an impact player, super sub he is not.
A complete waste of money and talent. Teams like City just flex their muscles and destroy potential when they won't even use or need him. Sad.Open Controls-
Him and Beast are the managers signings I don't think he's been given up on just yet.
It's a long season.Open Controls

Ibrah: "One thing is for sure, a World Cup without me is nothing to watch so it is not worthwhile to wait for the World Cup.
I used to like him.Open Controls-
He must be trolling. I don't believe anybody (not even dumb footballers) would go this far.
He's clearly intelligent, so he must be just saying this stuff for the lolsOpen Controls -
you admire his ego.
Open Controls -
you can make a pretty good team of players not going to world cup, zlatan makes it of course;

Hi Guys
Any changes you would make to this team
Mignolet (Boruc)
Terry Davies Coleman (Lovren Dawson)
Ozil Lallana Bacuna Ramsey (Morrison)

Hi all, I can have this team for -12 hit, crazy or good idea?
Boruc. (Davis)
G.Johnson. Terry. Zabaleta. Mertesacker. Chester
Hazard. Walcott. Sessegnon. Brady. Ramsey
Suarez. Aguero. RemyOpen Controls -
On wildcard; Aguero, Suarez + Benteke or Remy?
Open Controls-
Crouch?
Home game vs Sunderland, in sparkling form and Sunderland are awful in the air.
Suarez, Aguero & Crouchy nay well turn out to be the new template in the next few weeks.Open Controls-
I brought in Crouchy as a free agent in my draft league. I subsequently traded Soldado for Amalfitano. Am I a tactical genius or a complete imbecile?

When is Walcott back?
Want to do Ozil to WalcottOpen Controls-
Sub appearance at least this week possible.

Talk to me about Torres as I am assuming he is back this G/W.
Is he a joke or a reborn super diff.?Open Controls-
All depends on Mourinho.
Open Controls-
Seems to me M wants to do a phoenix with him and obviously have a love in with the owner if successful.
He still seems to have something to give, even though he gouged Verts face like a little girl who had her doll stolen.
I have not dismissed him totally.Open Controls -
I thought you would have more to say as he is your namesake.

Michu to Sessegnon or Walcott? To go with the rest of the midfield -
Oscar Ramsey Morrison Barkley ??????Open Controls-
Sess or Brunt
Open Controls -
Have a similar midfield -- Hazard and Cazorla instead of Oscar and Ramsey -- and trying to figure out what to do with Michu and 2 FTs. Seems weird to ship or bench Morrison or Barkley considering they're both at home, but Barkley's form and Ravel's fixture are putting me off.
Might do Walcott and not sweat it if he misses out as I have the bench to cover him, or do Michu and Sturridge to Cabaye and Aguero. Wish I had one more night to decide but Michu is up to 97%.Open Controls
