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:

    A) Yaya + AJ

    C) Cazorla + Ramsey
    D) Silva + Ramsey + 0,2M

    what do you think? For some reason I don't like Silva+AJ as an option.

      I think Azpi will play since Ashley played 90 min against stoke. Cahill played 90 min with Luiz and since Terry was rested, I'm pretty sure JT will play. When it comes to the next spot with Terry, I think Cahill will play. Mou seems to like Cahill more than Luiz and Cahill has been Chelseas best defender this season

      Generally I get a little annoyed at people posting RMT's, but I'm seeing the appeal now I'm on a WC. There is a lot of different options and it has left my head spinning a little!

      A few comments on any changes you would make, and why would be appreciated...Thanks

      Mannone / Marshall

      Kolorov / Azpilicueta / Mertesaker / Ward / Coleman

      Ramsey / Mata / YYT / Hazard / Puncheon

        Silva > Mata

        but, I can understand the appeal of Lallana and his fixtures are good.

        Long is likely to play out wide with Jelavic at Hull too, you can do better.
