We roll out the next instalment of our weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the set of fixtures ahead. This week, more than most, getting the armband call correct looks crucial – given that all of our featured five have acquired at least 12% of the votes cast in the Gameweek 16 Captain Poll, opinion looks split right across the board. Time to delve into the data, then…

    As I posted at the end of the last article, and since so many are asking if he will play:

    Hazard has played 1234 minutes out of the 1350 possible this season.
    And in the one game he played less than 60 minutes he still scored a goal.

    No guarantee but I feel confident he will!

        Oscar is almost as nailed on as Hazard, and played 60minutes compared to Lampard 90 minutes today.. Chances much higher of Oscar starting but who knows..

          Im going for a one week punt and would really fancy fat Frank to bring in a big score if he starts. He usually does against the weaker teams at the bridge. Cant afford Haz so has to be one of the two

      Silva IMO. I had Toure before Silva got injured and wanted to switch. Toure plays so deep it's a wonder how he scores so many points!

    What do you think guys?

    McGregor
    Coleman - Walker - Koscielny - Burner - Shaw
    Ramsey - Mirallas
    Suarez - Lukaku (c) - Aguero

    Speroni - Gerrard - Cabaye - Kim

    I know it's not ideal, but can't see anyone worth bring in for Gerrard for a hit.

      If Gerrard is confirmed in the presser as out for a month, he is worth a hit to either Hazard or Oscar imo.

      Man that formation looks ugly. With Cabaye banned I say the four points would be worthwhile.
