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:

      I am strongly considering it. He is a transfer waiting to happen and there are too many other excellent midfield options..

        Yea, tough. I've had him since £6.2, but going to hold until there's a bit more confirmation. Though all signs are pointing at him leaving.

    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.
