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:

        Last page Demi reported the Times said Rooney is unlikely to play. Given RVP was scheduled to return this week according to PhysioRoom wondering what his situation is.

      Rooney / Rvp is all part of the ploy to please the masses.
      I really hope Mata shoves his wonderful attributes down Mourinos gob.

        Yeah and three pretty irresistible fixtures.

        Plus I am an ABU so this would hedge my displeasure if United do well with Mata.

          I would not do that, only because Adrian is not a definite starter, and you'd have no back up.
          At least Mannone is pretty secure.

    I've been severely hampered by my Team Value when putting together my wildcard.

    This happens year in year out.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Not wildcarding in September?
    Not making transfers early in the week?

      Usually need to catch bandwagons early enough.
      Ramsey, Coleman and toure to think of three.
      It also helps if some of bandwagons get injured and make you sell them to get profit.
      Look how well Ramsey and aguero early owners did out of them

          May seem over the top but my hand was forced. Lallana likely to do nothing against arsenal, Negredo is useless and is injured, Coleman out, Chester out, parr out and had pennant has my midfielder who has been released. Maybe could of got away with a -12. But thats about it

    How many blanks in GW 28 does your current WC team have?

    I have 7 which is not good at all. If GW 29 ends up with a bunch of blanks too (at least some are inevitable) I can see it being a miserable couple of weeks. We're going to have to just take some transfer buy back costs to get full teams out.

      Will certainly be tricky, but everyone's in the same boat.

      I only have 4 currently

      7 is too much for first week, but could be easily down to 3-5 by then

        Technically since one is a keeper it's no big deal, and yes as it gets closer they will get trimmed down, just hope unforeseen forced transfers don't get in the way.

    Would you keep Coleman if you could only get 5.9m for him now?

      That's my selling price and I was considering selling him to raise some funds for Mata, but then I came to my senses.

      Really no option but to keep him for the season if you bought at 5.0

      that defence is weak...id prefer noone to januzaj...then you could upgrade the 4.8 to koscielny or kolarov and bruce is more nailed on than r.bennett...

      Not a fan of Ramires and Mirallas. Either get Puncheon and upgrade one of them or change both to Lallana/Ramsey/Eriksen.
