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:

    In case there will be no line up surprises today, this is my final WC team. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated.

    Mannone
    Coleman Ivanovic Kolarov
    Hazard Mata Ramsey Lallana
    Aguero (c) Suarez Bony

    Marshall Ward Noone Bruce

    Confident that Aguero will outscore Suarez. Ward will most probably come in for Coleman.

      dont like azpi on the left fpl wise, his attacking threat is killed, he's just like a 5.3mil lemon sat there. that's fine, he's the cheapest route into the defence, but i like the more daring cahill, at least you're chasing bigger rewards

    Shame Wilshere didn't rise

    Also got profit due to their final rise from Mannone, Kolarov, Merte and Sturridge.

      It's very hard to ignore a player of his stature who has just moved to a team without where he will play every week in that midfield. Cup tied for champions league so no worry about him being rested and has a point to prove. I'm expecting big points

    i think baines has really underperformed this season in the ways you'd normally pimp him as an option. only had 1 penalty to take, 1 assist, and that one match with the 2 free kicks.
    lukily for him everton have overperformed for clean sheets, and he's overperformed for bps thanks to the defender friendly tweak. that's kept the argument for him going, but in unorthodox, and imo unpredicted and dare i say lucky ways. his ppg is still strong compared to the mids he always gets compared to*.

    *slight flaw with this, compare pretty much every defender with the same priced mids, it's the same story.
