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:

WC team: done.
🙂 Good luck.Open Controls
nice team
Open Controls
With Cabaye out, I think I will most likely take a hit after the announcement of the teamsheets - but the hit or differential has to be great to compensate for the points loss.
After the deadline, it's wildcard time...Open Controls
Cabaye's playing I believe
Open ControlsSeveral others on here have posted a link that Cabaye will not play. Personally, I think if Pardew is to squeeze out all that form for one last time, he will be offered the opportunity to bid farewell to the fans, even though not at home.
Regardless, I need to be on alert when the teamsheets are announced now that with Silva already looking doubtful to start. Trying to find a replacement for that range but as for Johnson, I have a feeling he might return a blank.Open Controls
Yawn.
"Cabaye, who has scored 17 goals in 79 appearances for the Magpies, will fly to Paris for a medical on Tuesday and will not play a part in Newcastle's Premier League game with Norwich. "

What's the latest on Coleman? Cabaye to play Norwich yeah?
Open Controls
out (though could be a smokescreen, I'm starting) and no, Cabaye is in Paris
Open ControlsHmm 100%?
Open Controls
He could have his medical and be on a flight back by midday. Plenty of time to get to Norwich.
Open ControlsSigh.
Open Controls
Cabaye is in France, so no.
Coleman has been ruled out.
I would find you links but I'm tired.Open Controlscheers mate
Open Controls
Open Controls
lallana all day...gnabry might not start + wasteful
Open Controls
Just playing around. Random 10 minute first WC draft
Boruc 4.0
Evans Azpi Kola Ward 4.1
Haz Mirallas Rambo Navas Noone
Kun Suaz Rooney
Thoughts?Open Controls
long time sherlock
id choose mata over rooney...mata shd play most PL games
am thinking of a punt on benteke or bony...both of em cpt option this gwOpen ControlsI like that.
Bony my capt this week.Open Controls
Rooney out it seems.
Open ControlsThis is for next gameweek.
Open Controls
Can't squeeze Persie?
Open ControlsLooks good but would prefer Koscielny to Kolarov. Midfield is a little risky, in my opinion.
Open Controls
everyone set your optimal lineups NOW, don't count on being able to do anything once the lineups are out..site could go down through the lock
--------------------Boruc--------------------
----Kosc - Ward - Coleman - Azpi----
---------Silva - Haz (c) - Lallana---------
----Suarez - Aguero (v) - Sturridge----
Davis; Colback, Cabaye, Chester
might be silly and cap Studge, who knows..will sleep on it..
wish me luck gents, think it's going to be a bloodbath for me (not in my favor) 😯 😆Open Controls
I'm waiting on too much news. I'd need about 20 different line ups on standby.
Open ControlsI think the site might go down.. better set your stuff now as a contingency 🙂
Open Controls
Hows this WC team?
marshall adrien
kosc evans kolarav vlaar bruce
hazard mata cazorla navas noone
suarez aguero bony
its a good team i reckon but not sure about adrien
could do adrien + navas + bony >> marshall + AJ + bentekeOpen Controls
A.Cole/Cabaye/Sturridge -> Terry/Noone/Rooney a good move? -8pts of course 🙂
Open Controls
hard to say for -8... without a hit id say go for it. Or get cahill or azip instead of terry and puncheon for noone maybe
Open Controls
my FT was for Cabaye, worth to take a hit for Cabaye -> Mata ?
or just play Mutch ?Open Controlslol I did the sHame
Open Controls
Mental to captain Kun over Ratface?
Open ControlsNo. Kun scored 6 against Spurs last game. Even though it's an away game now, it's the same teams.
Open Controls
Depends if you are chasing
Open Controls
Who would you choose between Mirallas & Eriksen?I already have Lallana
Open Controlspeople debating a -4 to ship Cabaye while I sit here and debate a 2nd -4 to ship him after a -4 to bring him in 9 days ago 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Open Controls😆 your suffering actually brings me comfort
Open Controls😆 That's a consolation knowing someone out there is having a tougher time than me. Although there hasn't been any concrete to suggest Cabaye will not start, I would advise waiting for the announcement of the teamsheets before you make that move.
Open Controls
Other than Adam Johnson, is there any midfielder below 7.3m offering a good differential just for tonight? Have Cabaye and will be shipping him off for a hit. Wildcard will be active after the deadline so need a great differential - need the points to compensate for the hit (points loss).
Open ControlsEriksen & Mirallas ?
Open ControlsAt the moment, I also look into players such as Snodgrass and other players that offer such a great one-week differential. Eriksen and Mirallas may offer more a longer term of form but I'm barely convinced they are good differentials this gameweek with them facing City and Liverpool respectively.
Open Controls
I'm going to wait for the teams, and go for Ramsey if he's playing, Johnson otherwise.
Open Controls
Routledge or Pozuelo from Swansea (FUL), Fer or Snodgrass from Norwich (NEW)?
Open Controls
Hey guys...on a WC
1) Cabaye > Ramsey OR Erikson (will likely play Punch and then use either of these next gw)
2) Cahill or Azpi > which is more nailed on and is Cahill worth .4 more??
CheersOpen Controls1) Depends on if you've got any north London strikers. If not, I'd go Ramsey for now.
2) AzpilicuetaOpen Controls
Either of these worth a 4 pointer?
A) Ozil & Giroud -> Ramsey & Rooney
B) Ozil & Giroud -> Ki & RVP(c)
Szczesny
Terry, Kolarov, Whittaker
Hazard, Silva, Ozil, Puncheon
Aguero, Suarez, Giroud
Davis, Clyne, Kim, Chester
Bank 0.0m, 1 freebieOpen ControlsYou certain you're ready to lose Giru + Ozil before Palace?
Open ControlsNot certain, but neither look capable of a big haul at the moment. Ozil seems afraid to shoot and Giroud needs about 5 chances to score.
SOT and CPL aren't getting hammered either. The mood at OT after the Mata signing and R&R being back could be fireworks. Huge differential also.Open Controls
Rooney is out from memory.
Open ControlsNope.
Felli/Rvp/Rooney all trained.Open Controls
no, save.
Open ControlsI wouldn't take a hit for either right now. Long run one out of RVP/Rooney/Mata would probably be wise.
Open Controls
Ok
Finally landed on a wc team - suggestions for an upgrade and comments will be very welcome :
Boruc manone
Koscielny, Evans, Cahill vlaar gabbidon
Hazard mata eriksen mirallas AJ

cheers!!Open Controlsi think you should upgrade sterling. If downgrading Mannone to Davis and Kol to a cheaper defender let you do get Lallana I think that would be good

Picks such as kolarov, Evans and Cahill will end in tears. With all these blanks coming up, the last thing you need to worry about is players not being nailed on. You need players who are gaurenteed game time and players in lots of players in WC drafts are not nailed. You will end up fielding 9 or 10 players which you need to avoid
Open ControlsI agree. Time and time again people get as many as possible "DGW bodies" in their teams thinking this is a guarantee to a 100+ score in a DGW only to see CS being lost, YC's and rotation kicking in.
People never learn.
🙄Open Controls
I think Kolarov is worth the potential risk, I have Bardsley coming on if he didn't play for some reason - the rest I wouldn't bother with
Open ControlsKol and Bardsley are missing the same week (possibly weeks). You should sort your transfers out to have max 1 of these for GW28. Plenty of time to do this, of course - but worth a heads-up.
Open Controls
Kolarov hardly counts as he's already guaranteed blank(s) 😉
Open Controls
This is why I have 4 decent defenders I'm happy to play most weeks. Gives me some leeway to have guys like LOLarov in my team.
Open Controls
Away from Cabaye Who is ur Captain ??
Open Controls
Does Cabaye leaving mean HBA will be promoted to the #10 role? Or is this wishful thinking?
Open Controls
For me its Kun. What about you?
Open Controls
have got it on Haz as well. Have a good feeling about him, playing well, good record against WHU at the Bridge (1 game but 1 goal 1 assist), Chelsea on form, WHU leaky though getting some defenders back. Their midfield is still horrendous though.
Open Controls
Honestly think there is so much unsurity right now with fixtures and how teams will line up that probably saving the wc for the last week was the best thing to do.
Any of you early wildcarders taken real advantage of it?Open ControlsI'm happy with my WC. Besides Clyne 😡
Open ControlsMy team needed it. It was never going to be used for big money gains.
Open ControlsI don't think there's any obvious advantage to doing it next week over this week - the fixtures don't get any clearer.
Open Controls
Hmm I think your right, now with the various transfers I am wondering whether I should played it last week. But then that was always the risk and Only one week gone so too early to say. For me it all hinged in Agueros fitness. Had a good week last week hope that keeps going
