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:

    Is Cahill worth the extra 0.4 over Azpi? Azpi too risky with Ivan back?

        Thought to take into consideration about (c) hazard.
        Eto'to is a really greedy player, if you watch how often he gets the ball and let's other make runs to use as dummies so he can turn. With this there is more chance of him scoring, which would likely take the baps away from hazard.
        Would be interesting to see the stars for hazard returns playing with eto'o and playing with Torres.
        Though this may be slightly biased due to hazard picking ball up when Torres makes a mess of something.

                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.

              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

            How can you have two? 😉

            I assume you are not getting Ozil/Cazorla w Ramsey?

                Couldn't decide between Ramsey and Mirallas so no Cabaye solved it. Will miss him

        Really want to get rid of Coleman, but would only get 5.9m for him, massive loss. Could do a bit more with my team if I got rid though. On a WC
