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:

          depends on the rest of your team, only need 1 everton attacking coverage i think so if u have lukaku, u dont need Mirallas. Also double arsenal atttack could be tough with their heavy fixture list and rotation etc.

    only got one response so a repost in hopes for some more thoughts!

    hey all, need some advice for the last 2 spots in the 15 man squad;

    boruc/davis

    olsson/ward/williamson/kosc/kolarov

    haz/yaya/januzaj/_________/__________

    suarez/bony/aguero

    which is better:

    a. mirallas and wilshere
    b. erikson and wilshere
    c. ramsey and henderson

    or..........

    d. change three spots and replace januzaj and have mata/puncheon/noone

    hope you experts can help with finalising the wc team... cheers!

          hes a doubt for soton but anyway with Rambo back he could be farmed out to the flank and probs wont play as much....and is a constant injury worry

      I like eriksen ramsey/mirallas noone (with haz and yaya) if that works but otherwise mata puncheon and noone is good as puncheon and noone rotate well and januzaj gametime is going to be cut by mata

        i can do the ramsey/mirallas/nooone combo...

        was worried about d) b/c of the 2 cheap mids, but i guess i can't expect more with three premium mids

          id prefer eriksen to both ramsey and mirallas...tbh two of those three should outperform mata and whichever of the cheap mids you decide to play

            i guess only time will tell...worth the risk for the short term i suspect and could always use a FT for the city/utd blank week if he is not playing
