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:

    Hi chaps, this is my draft league team of 16...

    Mannone
    Baines/Azpilicueta/Evans
    Cazorla/Mirallas/Puncheon/Lennon
    Suarez/Bony/Agbonlahor

    Not used (this week): Shaw/Reid/Michu/Salah/Marshall

    I'm looking to get rid of two players (Lennon/Salah) to another midfielder (Snodgrass) and a fourth striker from these options....

    a) Berahino
    b) Deulofeu
    c) Jovetic

    Who would be my best pick here? Please bare in mind I'm saying these as I can't pick anyone else

      I did Silva > Mata. I have Aguero and Kolorov and Mata gives a better balance considering Citeh now have Spurs + Chelsea.

      Mata perhaps more of a goal threat and Silva made of glass. May be protected for CL games with Navas, Milner and Nasri options when he returns.

    1) Is having both Wilshere AND Ramsey sensible?

    2) Do people think Eriksen is a good bet despite a run of games that is: Man City at home, Hull away, Everton at home then NUFC away..

    3) What is the meaning of life?

        Also, I can upgrade Johnson to Ramsey within my budget if that makes it any better?

    On WC - does this look ok?

    Mannone Adrian
    Kos Evans Azpi Gabbidon/Ward Bruce
    Haz Mata AJ Ramsey Noone
    Suarez Aguero Bony

    £0.4 in the bank, if Ramsey is not in the lineup then Eriksen for one week
