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:

    So, how do I look?

    boruc, kelvin davis
    koscielny, debuchy, shaw, demel, bardsley
    hazard, yaya touré, mata, puncheon, noone
    suárez, agüero, giroud

    ITB: 0.1

    I have my eyes on the team sheets tomorrow night.

    If yoshida is nailed on for southampton, then I plan:

    shaw --> yoshida

    AND

    demel --> azpilicueta OR demel --> kolarov AND noone --> ponzuelo/gnabry

      Why not spread the love and get Ward instead of doubling up on Sot defence?

        I think he is a bargain at 4.7. I could upgrade davis to mannone, but the 0.6 is probably better spent elsewhere ATM.

          I'm struggling with the same thing. You think boruc will get points this week? He has solid fixtures.

          I'm doubling up with him n shaw I think. Thoughts?

            I doubt he will get a cleanie this week, but not worth the hassle of starting with someone else and wasting the transfer to put him in. Just be sure to spend the rotational cash savings (0.6M) wisely.

    For one game only (before I use my wc):

    Mata or Eto'o?

    Is it too much of a risk to pick one of Ba or Eto'o? Seems to be 50/50 for either to start.

          I think Ba will start ahead of Eto'o.

          1) Eto'o needs to rest up as he's their main striker now
          2) they play City at the weekend so he will be saved for that game

    I'm starting to worry about Noone's playing time, so I've been looking for replacements - in which order do you rate the following?

    Johnson (NOR)
    Bacuna (AVL)
    Tiote (NEW)

    I'll probably go for Johnson, seems to be a decent rotation for Puncheon, whom I have as my 4th.

    What keeper combo looks best from next GW to season end, ive spent some time looking this up in season ticker.. Is SOU/NOR really the best combo??

    The third striker spot really is interesting also.. Fixture wise its Rodriguez, Bony, Ade, Bentekke for me.. Hard to know.. Mata could cover United for the moment..

    Even in defence I done see any real essential players, Coleman and Ward ill keep..
