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:
This week play puncheon over Jrod?
Open ControlsWith Cabaye as good as gone should I take a risk and get Ramsey and Mata for Ozil and Cabaye for a hit? I reckon with Wilshere being a doubt Ramsey has a big chance of starting right?
Open ControlsNot really. Arteta is back too and Ox can play there which is actually more his perfected position and he played in the middle next to Wilshire on Friday
Open Controls
You say cabaye, I say hello (to mirallas)
Open Controls+1
Open Controls
Which would you prefer
A. Mata and Puncheon
B. Lallana and Eriksen
Front 8 is currently:
Hazard Ki Silva ? ?
Agüero Long SuárezOpen ControlsSissoko may drop back into the middle of the park as a DM and HBA will takethe wing id say.
Open ControlsI'd really appreciate some help, I'm struggling put together my WC team because my TV is quite low.
Here is what I've currently got:
Boruc - McGregor
Coleman - Vlaar - Mariappa - Bruce - Bennet
Hazard - Toure - Mata - Puncheon - Noone
Suarez - Aguero - JRod
I'm not really sure about having 2 cheap midfielders though. I'm thinking about doing Yaya -> Eriksen and Puncheon -> Mirallas or Noone -> Johnson. But I'd prefer to hold on to Yaya since I have him at 9.6. I'd also like to keep Mata, as he could be my differential (6.7 %). And not having Hazard just seems too risky. Is it worth selling Yaya?
Any other suggestions would also be much appreciated. Thanks!Open ControlsDear Cabaye,
Thanks for the .2 price rise this GW 😉Open ControlsBony
Open Controls
I actually hoped Cabaye would go to Ars/ManUtd. Too bad he's leaving PL
Open ControlsBut tbh, easier now to include Mata without losing 0.6 value on him.
Open ControlsYa I always expect a 30yard strike when he gets the ball outside the box fun to watch.
Open ControlsYessir
Open Controls
Who to captain this week chaps? Suarez or Bony?
Open ControlsSuazzer it is. Not going to live a little!
Open Controls
At least we'll see if Cabaye starts tomorrow. If he's benched then I'm starting my 5th mid, Januzaj.
Open Controlshe'll hardly start or even be in the squad with any sort of deal in place or about to be signed
Open ControlsHe's travelled though, right? With £ 25m at stake then I'd agree, it would be madness to risk him.
Open Controls
This time in the season, is it better to forget all about team value and price changes? Just do all your transfer business on the Friday night (or Saturday morning to be ultra safe)?
You just never know what could crop up later in the week.Open ControlsCabaye to PSG?? Is it official?
Open ControlsEriksen, Lallana or Rambo ???
Ramsey has tough fixtures and has been injured plus with the upcoming schedule Wenger will surely be rotating that midfield right?Open ControlsSo it boils down to this -
Mata, Johnson & Rodriguez
OR
Eriksen, Lallana & BonyOpen ControlsTricky one there. I'd go with the first one, just.
Open Controls
How much of a risk are:
Adrian
Noone
Adrian did not start the cup game against city
Noone has zaha to compete againstOpen Controlsplay mutch n hudson -4
or do hudson to bardsley, play mutch -8Open ControlsHi, noob question. Do I need to play my WC now, or can I wait until the next game week?
Open ControlsFinger poised to pull the WC trigger.
McGregor, Harper
Coleman, Koscielny, Bardsley, Ward, Fabio/Bruce
Hazard, Mata, Cazorla, Puncheon, Snodgrass
Bony, Aguero, Suarez
Any last minute thoughts before I do it?Open Controlsso if Cabaye does leave, might consider Mirallas on a punt for his spot until Arsenal's fixtures lighten up..he's so selfish it's perfect for non-Lukaku owners 😆
Open ControlsConsidering the same. Him or Eriksen
Open Controls
Cabaye. So long my friend, you saved my season
Open ControlsGosh! Was holding WC for last moment, but this Cabaye (got him for 6,2!!!!!) news might leave me with 10 or even 9 playing lads.
What do I do? Might have to take a hit, but for whom?Open ControlsChances of starting please
Ramsey
MataOpen ControlsWhat to do with Negredo?
No FT as already shipping Johnson...Open ControlsToo much damn red and blue(s) kits on my FPL pitch. (ARS 3, MCI 2, CAR 2, POOL 1, UTD 1, CHE 2). Cabaye was a nice change visually!
Open Controls
10 years, 3 months ago
Team for the week is now going to be
Boruc
Mert Ward Kolarov
Haz ozil yaya januzai
Suarez Aguero Giroud
(Davis, Coleman, Chester, cabaye)
Scrape through with this lot and save the transfer to have two for the weekend?
