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:

        I'm gonna wait and see what role Mata gets with Rooney and RVP back.

        I'll probably ship Oscar next week so I could downgrade Navas to afford Mata...

        Hehe I was so set on not captaining him but then (of course) half of Evertons defense may be out so I'll have to wait and see.

        If Jags and Distin plays, I'm going Tekkers.

    Mexicano Milanista's post stuck on the bottom of the page... let's help him out.

    On holiday at the moment and it seems my team has multiple problem so could do with some help.

    Boruc
    Kolarov, Coleman, Parr
    Silva. Ozil, Hazard, Ki
    Aguero, Suarez(c), Sturridge

    Davis, Gibbs, Noone, Hudson

    Coleman, Parr and Silva are all doubtful, is there any expectation as to whether they will play or not? Also, has Gibbs lost his place? I see he started the cup game with Jenkinson which is worrying.

    No money in the bank and I would like to save free transfer to shift Ozil and Ki to two 7-7.5m players next week.

      Monreal looks to have won the starting birth at LB... Coleman is certainly out and may be out the weekend. Personally I'm shipping him for Ivanovic. There's a good read stickied on Coleman.

      If you were to save, you'd probably be with 1-2 defenders this week, so it's risky if both Parr and Gibbs don't start.

            The fixtures definitely appeal, problem is the defence has to be solid for the fixtures to pay dividends and it hasn't been for a while. If the injuries are easing (which I think they are) then it might be worth it but Reid is important to them.

              Man City have conceeded 4 goals in their last 4 games but people love a citizen in their back line. I think West Ham'll turn a corner now the right players are coming back.Also you have to look at teams they're playing. SWA NOR HUL can't buy a goal right now, avl have been flakey and SOT hardly convince away from home.

                FYI, I have no idea why I've suddenly become an advocate for WHU defensive options, but with minimal investigation they're a team that offer a -4pt that should give a bit more of a long term result

    It seems Luke Shaw might move...Terry Payne Honorary President of Southampton FC, mentioned on SA tv last night that if Southampton don't lose him in next 4 days they will def lose him next season.

    Sounds like United is his next home...

    So I take it Cabaye won't start today? It. Hurts. My. Heart. Have wildcard but will not use it till after the deadline is over and have already made transfers for the week and now Silva is doubtful. 😥

      Sterling could do something. Assuming you're keeping Coleman, he's out, Shaw 1 point incoming.

    My team is a complete shambles just a week after playing my wildcard:

    Boruc Davis
    Sagna Kolarov Collins Coleman (INJ) Chester (INJ)
    Hazard Lallana Colback Silva (DOUBT) Cabaye (PSG)
    Suarez Aguero Sturridge

    Obviously dependent on the team sheets, should I do?

    A) Cabaye => Ramsey
    B) Cabaye => Ramsey and Silva => Mata (-4)
    C) Cabaye => Ramsey and Coleman => Cahill (-4)
    D) Cabaye => Ramsey and Silva => Mata and Coleman => Azpilicueta (-8)
