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:

      Not for a hit as I don't think you'll make the points back. Certainly not worth the risk. Hold Ozil until after Palace home game then re-assess

    Hi guys, looking for some final advice on the wildcard. Was planning on tinkering up to the deadline but I'm going to the Bournemouth game so didn't fancy juggling a pie, pint and my mobile!

    All I need is a cheapy to rotate with Januzaj and a Chester replacement at similar price - any ideas?

    Thanks for the help.

    Mannone
    Ward Koscielny Azpilicueta
    Hazard Mata Yaya Wilshere
    Aguero Suarez Adebayor
    Subs-Boruc Pozuelo Coleman Chester

    Should I play pozuelo or bring in ramsey for wilshere? Hazard captain or submit to the fear of suarez going crazy

    Would you play Gabbidon (HUL) or Koscielny (sou) considering I already have Mert and JRod?

    Well, I reckon this is what the WC is for, which I've been on for a week. But should I be ditching Ben Turner? For whom?
