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 still have my winter WC, but my subs are Coleman, Chester & Redmond. That means I won't be able to field 11 players if Silva doesn't play.
    Or just do AJ move (or any other mid for 6.9)?

      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
