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:

        Lallana coming off the bench...

        But if I dont take a hit, my bench will be Cabaye, Coleman and Chester who will all not be playing... and I have doubts over Kolarov and Januzaj starting probabilities...

      How long is Lovren out for? I feel Lovren is such a big part of their early defensive form that maybe it's not great to invest in them right now but 4.0 is a steal. I have Boruc at the moment but maybe drop him and get Yoshida instead if he's in for a while

        I know. But with Boney I can have very strong defence and stil good front 8. This way it's quite unbalanced. Maybe I should try with Gnabry instead of Januzaj? Gives me extra 1.1 mil to upgrade Bennet or Bruce to Evans.

      Bony, Giroud or Rodriguez I think ... you don't have to spend all your coin remember and I think that 3-4M could help upgrade the mid later!!

      Mata a risk and Ramsey a risk after only just coming back.

      imo Ozil. He's looked quite lethargic lately. Long term (and short term) I'd rather have Silva.
