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:

        Thought to take into consideration about (c) hazard.
        Eto'to is a really greedy player, if you watch how often he gets the ball and let's other make runs to use as dummies so he can turn. With this there is more chance of him scoring, which would likely take the baps away from hazard.
        Would be interesting to see the stars for hazard returns playing with eto'o and playing with Torres.
        Though this may be slightly biased due to hazard picking ball up when Torres makes a mess of something.
