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:

    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.

          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.

          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

            Asked yesterday but would appreciate more input. 🙂

            Would anyone risk benching Gerrard and play Januzaj and Eriksen? If he starts then Januzaj is in, which leaves Eriksen or Gerrard.
            It seems crazy but Suarez is taking a lot of Gerrards free kicks and he will be playing a lot deeper than Eriksen but he does love a derby.

            No, I have to bench Eriksen unless Januzaj doesn't start don't I? 😕 😕

              Play Gerrard. I'm looking forward to him yet again playing too deep to score then miraculously doing so.
              Much like Yaya! 🙂

                I know I should play him, especially against Everton but I just feel I'm relying on peno's.

                It's a coin toss really , can see reasons for starting all and also for not.
                I think I would start Gerrard myself over eriksen.

                Ok, I'm going to bench Eriksen and hope Allen makes a recovery and plays deep. Cheers 🙂

                Had same problem with Gerrard and Eriksen, decided to bench Eriksen. after last week cant see Gerrard playing so deep and his returns have been pretty consistent.

              Surprised with the lack of love for Giroud.

              Considering he's the main man at "title contenders" Arsenal now, I imagine he's going to be great value at that price.

                He's been the main man since the start of the season though, and after a great start he's run out of juice. You can see when you watch him that he's tired, and he's always lacked pace. Quite frustrating to own.

                    Might have had some rest over the last few weeks yeah. I just think you can't expect more than what we've seen already this season and it's not very inspiring fantasy wise. Obviously very useful for the team.
