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:
Nice team but it seems like you have some unnecessary expenses in there. Ivan could be Azpi, Mert could be Kosc, Cazorla could be Silva/Mata and all that extra money could be used to upgrade Januzaj
Open Controlsdidnt even see Coleman in there, lovely team youve got yourself there but It could be that much better wth those changes
Open Controls
Too much cash in defence imo. Unless you will be playing a 4-3-3?
If not then Mert > Kosc and Ivan > Azpi to fund either an Oscar > Haz upgrade, JWP > Punchy, or a future Bony > Tekkers/Studge upgrade.Open Controls
Mannone (Boruc)
Kosc Kolarov Azpi (Chiriches Chester)
Hazard Lallana Eriksen Silva (Pozuelo)
Suarez Bony Aguero
Am I good to go? Should I keep Pozuelo on the bench?Open Controls
Going to bed but can't resist throughing this out there. 😉

Aguero Suarez Adebayor
.3m itb.
so-so or ok?Open Controls
Good GKs but don't rotate
Whitty is not nailed on
Ki as your 4th mid?
Noble -> PunchOpen ControlsBoruc nailed for me. Who's better than Mannone - for same or less?
Open Controls
Ki > punch
Collins isnt nailed onOpen Controls
A. Azpi & Yoshida
B. Kolarov & another 3.9
Rest of D:-
Mannone Adrian
Bains Koscielny Bruce ____ ____Open Controls
Who would you guys rate more?
1) Silva or Mata
2)Snoddy or Puncheon.Open ControlsSilva - there's a reason why he's starting ahead of Mata last World Cup.
Punch - Snoddy is so last season and inconsistent.Open Controls
1) Silva, when fit, no question
2) Tough call, but Puncheon atm.Open ControlsOk..Mata...i see..cant decide between Snoddy and Puncheon.
Open Controls
punch has great stats
Open Controls
Not sure on Mata atm but if things get right for him then Mata. (I might swap silva >Mata as well)
Snoddy but looks expensive to be a 5th mid...Open Controls
Wildcard team. Comments & critique appreciated!
Thinking of fielding 3-4-3 most of the time, with Terry and Kolarov + best of other 3 defs.
Mannone (Marshall)
Kolarov Terry Ward (Bruce, Turner)
Lallana Silva Hazard Eriksen (A.Johnson)
Bony Aguero Suarez
Thanks.Open Controls
I have Kolarov and Silva in my starting XI. Would you get rid of either of them for a hit?
Open Controls
?
Open ControlsWell Silva is an injury doubt isn't he? And Kolarov has question marks over him starting tomorrow..
Would you get rid of any of them for a 4 pointer?Open Controlskolarov always has question marks over starting, he's a high risk high reward player.
id stick with silva as well.
check demis teamsheets on here here tomorow then decide?
ignore my reply below!Open Controls
i dont understand.
i thought silva would play?
surely wait for teamsheets if you canOpen ControlsSame.
Have to do with Mata only in our FPL teams now that he isn't a Chelsea player anymore 😥Open Controls
Rohan - Could you maybe help me out here?
I just can't pull the trigger on this one. I want to do Sturridge > Bony this week which will allow me to do Lallana > Mata next, should I go for it?Open Controls
Why not keep Sturridge and save the transfer, then reassess next GW.
Open ControlsI just feel like Bony could explode vs a depleted Fulham side and Sturridge could very possibly blank
Open Controls
Hey mate!
I really like Bony. I am looking for ways to fit him in myself. Great VFM player. I can understand the reluctance to sell Studge, though. If I could..
A- Keep Studge this week and buy myself more time and see if Bony does well in the league (which he is likely to) and get those trades done next week.
B- Go ahead with your planned trade but I feel Lallana has a lot to offer. Great fixtures for him in the coming weeks.
I'd do AOpen ControlsThanks mate, really appreciate the help. I guess i'll keep the transfer and hope for the best.
Open Controls
everyone will have YaYa for City dgw?
Open Controlsnavas, aguero for me
Open Controls
What do you with WC and Mata in the team do if his not in the starting line up tomorrow?
Keep or transfer him out?Open ControlsHe'll play the next game. Class is permanent.
Open ControlsYes, but then you have a free transfer next GW to transfer him back in. 9.8 M is much for a player to have on the bench when you can get him next week for a free transfer.
Open ControlsPoint taken, but to answer to question, people who got him in this week will obviously keep him. The FT could be used elsewhere imo.
Open Controls
He will def play some part tomorrow, I reckon 70 mins. Even a cameo will probably get you an assist so I will be holding regardless.
Open Controls
Thoughts on this WC team lads?
Mannone / Szczesny
Koscielny / Azpilicueta / Collins / Mariappa / Yoshida
Yaya Touré / Hazard / Mata / A.Johnson / B.Johnson
Suárez / Agüero / AdebayorOpen Controls
Replacements for Chester??
Open Controls
Took a hit to bring in Cabaye this week
FML
Pozuelo here we come!Open Controls
Take a hit to get him out.
Open Controlscabaye not playing?
Open Controls
So you think Bony ,Mata could outscore Sturridge,Lallana from now? I doubt it.Sturridge has a better ppg than a mid and will no doubt show more consistency than Bony. Another thing to note is that Swansea have Europa games too wheras Liverpool don't.
Open Controls
approx 15 hours until team sheets and 15 hours and 12 minutes until the lock right?
Open Controls
loving (and hating) building a WC time...thought it would be more fun then this but its sooo confusing.
marshall adrien
kolarav evans mert vlaar bruce
hazard cazorla mata AJ noone
suarez aguero benteke
- not sure about adrien...do mert > kos (save 0.4) and do adrien > mannone/boruc?
- kolarav or azpi?
- benteke or bony? can upgrade AJ >> navas if i do bonyOpen Controls
Evening gents.
Extremely satisfied with my WC team but I'm feeling a bit peeved that I won't be around to tinker when the lineups are announced before the deadline (will be at work).
All or nothing tonight. 😀Open Controls
Same as me, ill be working in the morning so that's pretty annoying. FPL just hasn't been the same since i moved down here! 🙁
Open ControlsMoved to Australia from Ireland. The time difference has kinda messed up how much i can keep track of everything. Plus i hardly ever get on here much
Open Controls
Afternoon Snake. That grav 80
Open Controls
How does this WC team look?
Boruc Davis
Coleman Koscielny Bardsley Turner Gabbidon
Hazard Mata Ramsey Puncheon Noone
Suarez Aguero RVP
If RVP doesn't start this week ill bring in Bony for a punt and replace him with RVP\Rooney in a few weeks..Open ControlsBit much? The rest of the team doesn't suffer too much i don't think..
Open Controls
Considering the very expensive front line that is a great team. But RvP may struggle to find his form early on
Open ControlsI know its a risk but he could be the ultimate differential for a few weeks?
Open ControlsRooney is more likely to start and perform well so maybe to with him first up and make the trade later on
Open Controls
mata and rvp too much investment in one team imo, very expensive! looks pretty beautiful though...
Open Controlsi like that.
what with that front 3 id maybe want more of a known quantity than mata though?Open Controls
Take a hit anywhere?
Boruc
Sagna - Kolarov - Ward
Navas - Oscar - Eriksen - Ozil
Aguero - Bony - Suarez
Davis -- Pozuelo - Hudson - ChesterOpen ControlsNope, good to go. Love the midfield differentials.
Open ControlsCheers dude
Open Controls
City have good fixtures and Navas is an ultimate differential. He is an absolute gun imo and he'll be looking to carve up to cement his name in the starting XI, or so I believe. Silva or Mata are other options though
Open Controls
A. Rooney, AJ, Eriksen, Vlaar
B. Adebayor, Yaya, Ramsey, Bertrand
C. Bony, Yaya, Eriksen, Bertrand
Currently on A, but if Rooney doesn't start, may have a rethinkOpen ControlsI like C
Open Controls
Is there a possibility that Mata might lack match fitness and may come of the bench?
Open Controlsprobably more match fit than rooney and rvp....not all can be on the bench i suppose.
Open Controls
Hello gents,team in an awful mess and as always would really appreciate your help
Mannone (Marshall)
Ward Kosc Azpili (Clyne* Chester*)
Silva Hazard Puncheon Januzaj* (Cabaye*)
JRod Suarez Giroud*
FT already used. Have 3.8 in the bank,so that is enough to do Giroud to Aguero
Other issues include Januzaj,Clyne(rotation) Cabaye(transfer) and Chester(injury)
With the starting lineup given above, should I take a hit? If yes, then who should I remove first?I know Aguero is essential but should he really be my first priority?Open ControlsDefinitely. Your starting mids and defs will all play anyway so you can focus on the deadwood the following GW, particularly Cabaye. Think Clyne will reclaim his spot going forward.
Open ControlsThanks for the help man,so do I bring him in tonight? Or wait for the next gw? Conundrums galore!
Open Controls
So after I played with my team for the 2nd time since I hit the WC I came up with this lot:
Boruc-xx
Coleman-Sagna-Debuchy-Vlaar-Ward
Hazard-Silva(or Mata or Caz)-(Ramsey or Eriksen)-A.Johnson-Noone
SAS
It would depend on the line ups if Mata, Caz, or Ramsey play and I'm not considering to sell Coleman.
So how does it look?Open ControlsI'd be tempted to have bony instead of sturridge for his upcoming fixtures and have both caz and mata in midfield. Ramsey will get limited minutes this week I reckon, Eriksen is a good pick though
Open ControlsNot a fan of Debuchy; think that the loss of their talisman (Cabaye) will have a trickle down effect on the rest of the team. I would get Evans instead.
I don't think Rambo will start but don't take my word for it.Open Controls
Can someone tell me if if Sturridge has played 10 games in a row without injury in his entire career?
Open Controls
Hi guys! need advice on which WC team:
A)
Mannone* Boruc
Azpilicueta Kolarov Koscielny* Bruce Gabbidon
Hazard Mutch Mata Johnson Yaya
Aguero Suarez JRod*
0 in the bank.
B)
Kdavies* Boruc
Azpilicueta Kolarov Collins* Bruce Gabbidon
Hazard Mutch Mata Johnson Yaya
Aguero Suarez Adebayor*
enough money to do Jonhson to Ramsey later.Open ControlsAny reason not to go Baines and Coleman if I've had Coleman from the start?
Open ControlsI bought coleman for 5.8. Sold for 6.3. Buy price now is 6.7. Sold for LOLarov
Fair enough?Open ControlsI bought Kolarov on WC last week but I may look to sell soon, great player though
Open Controls
No love for Sterling on WC?
Open ControlsHis time is passing... Moses, Coutinho
Open ControlsTechnically, he's only competing with Allen and Moses.
In other words, he's nailed on till Lucas returns.Open Controls
Had him for a couple weeks before I WC, got me some points and went up 0.1, but not a good pick in the immediate future imo, not quite good enough for 4th spot and bit too expensive for 5th.
Open Controls4.5 PPG in his 11 starts.
Excellent for a 4th midOpen Controls
typical RMT...0.2m in bank cheers!
Mannone (Marshall)
Azpil Evans Gabbidon (Rat BTurner)
Hazard Mata AJohnson Eriksen (Noone)
Suarez Aguero BentekeOpen ControlsGreat GK pairing.
Not sold on all of your Defs, sorry.
Benteke is a flair pick. I'd go the safer way and get Bony or Ade.Open Controls
