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:

    Bought Giroud in last week - took out Ade for him and I was kicking myself over that.

    I now have 3 options
    A) Keep Grioud
    B) Get big Bony
    C) Relapse and get Ade again.

    Not particularly fond of C, but need some help. I'm on a FT

    Cheers lads 🙂

        I know. But with Boney I can have very strong defence and stil good front 8. This way it's quite unbalanced. Maybe I should try with Gnabry instead of Januzaj? Gives me extra 1.1 mil to upgrade Bennet or Bruce to Evans.

      Sell Gerrard, keep Coleman! FFS, he's only out maybe 1 gw. Gerrard has been playing very deep also and if he didn't get lucky with that cheap pen Suarez dove for, last match he'd have had 2 pts.

      If he wanted to not play he could have stayed at United

      I suggest yes, he probably will.
