A home clash with Southampton sees Man City heavily backed in this week’s Captain Poll, with three of their options sitting in the top six. Luis Suarez, Eden Hazard and Wayne Rooney are the three front-runners, though, as we assess your selections for the weekend ahead:

With Sergio Aguero ruled out by injury once again earlier today, we take the top five available for selection in this week’s Captain Poll (Suarez, Rooney, Hazard, Yaya Toure and Edin Dzeko) as our starting point and construct a members table based around a number of their key statistics in order to flag up any other players offering a similar sort of threat.

    So does the Aguero injury news make him more or less appealing for the DGW?

    He's played 70 mins of football since before Xmas - my guess is 60-120 mins over the DGW, which combined with a lack of match fitness, has me heading in Edin's direction.

    Anyone still planning on going for Aguero next week?

    I told myself that I'd need to see him feature against Southampton before considering him but I'm struggling to decide how to use my transfers if I don't go for him.
