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:

      For me,

      Lallana > Ramsey
      Silva > Mata

      but, I can understand the appeal of Lallana and his fixtures are good.

      Long is likely to play out wide with Jelavic at Hull too, you can do better.

          Silva is slightly frustrating because he is often an injury doubt, but his points per game is still very good. Southampton's fixtures (after this week) are excellent. I'm tempted by A. Can always go to Ramsey if/when he starts producing.

              He's been brilliant to own, maybe my joint best pick of the year alongside Ramsey and Hazard (don't ask about my worst) but JK correctly predicted his points would go up with Baines out. Think the reverse might happen now, not quite as essential though still a top option.

                Not convinced by Kolarov (sacrilige I know, not sure he has fully ousted Clichy and City arent best for CS returns) or Dave yet so dont see any reason to sell. Sure Baines is dropping his returns but the price difference doesnt warrant switching for me.

                I got Mirallas for his 2, 1, 1, 1 run then sold before he just got 2 goals in 2. Sold for Eriksen so not too bad but just sums up my season..
