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:

    Hey guys I have a defensive dilemma and was wondering if you could help!

    Sczcesny
    Coleman Kolarov Gabbidon | Olsson McNaughton
    Eriksen Lallana Silva Hazard | Gnabry
    Aguero Sturridge Suarez

    0.5 ITB

    I already used my FT on putting Olsson in for Chester. What would you do? 🙂

        Do you think Kolarov will play at all? That's my only concern now. And will Coleman be back next game?

    2nd option I could have Cabaye (who I have now at 7.2 but looks likely to go to PSG).

    Ben Arfa is going to be interesting over the next couple of weeks. He could become my 5th midfielder if he gets nailed on now that Cabaye is leaving.

      Thinking about Baines but if I can't afford him Coleman stays. It's really tough to part though I brought him in in my original team at the start of the season.
