We roll out another instalment of our new weekly article for Members this evening, offering an in-depth statistical analysis of the main captaincy contenders for the Gameweek ahead. Each of the top four supply us with a player apiece this time out as we crunch the numbers to determine whether there really is an alternative to a certain Uruguayan for the armband:

Open ControlsWas it you that recommended captain phillips to me?
Open ControlsAye, did you end up watching it?
Open ControlsYeah brilliant. Up there with Rush and Prisoners as the best of 2013 imo
Open ControlsAgreed. The new Hobbit movie looks amazing though... can't wait.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfflhfn1W-oOpen ControlsThe last one was visually stunning but I've found I'm yet to make it through a tolkien movie without getting quite bored. I'll definitely check it out for the CGI though.
Open ControlsI guess, some parts are boring but it's all part of the build up. The action scenes are just amazing.
LOTR was brilliant.Open ControlsYeah I can see the appeal and they're very well made. Just don't do it for me. Even the action scenes I find boring but that's just me. Plenty of my mates love them too.

2.1 in the bank 1FT, can't see any obvious transfers so might just go 4-3-3 this week. Ideally i want to upgrade jedinak but i can't see any good mid priced midfielders, save transfer the best option?Open ControlsAnyone fancy joining me on the pozuelo bus?
Open Controls
I'd rather walk.
Open Controls
Got a midfield of Nasri, Janujaz, Pablo Hernandez, Ozil & Sessegnon.
2 FT's. Does Sess & Ozil OUT for Hazard & Ramsey IN sound ok?...
Sess does have a nice home fix this week.Open Controls
I present to you the Super Seven
Ramsey Yaya Hazard Gerrard
Suarez Aguero Lukaku
very possible within budgetOpen Controls
Migs
Burner / Williams / Coleman / Ridgewell
Hazard / Wally / Cabaye / Arnie

2FT and 0.1 in the bank.
Please help as I am going round in circles and need some inspirationOpen Controls
From here to the Wild Card which would you prefer
Suárez, Agüero, Rooney
Suárez, Agüero, LukakuOpen Controls
Suarez, Rooney, Lukaku with Nasri in midfield.....sort of what I've got!
Open Controls
A little help for the only guy with RVP on this site please. 🙁
Mignolet
Terry,Glen Johnson,Clyne,Burner,Faye
Oscar,Ramsey,Sessegnon,Ravel,Januzaj
RVP,Suarez,Aguero
2 Ft and 0.2m in the bank.
A. Any reason not to do RVP+Januzaj>Lukaku+Hazard for free?
B. Would you take a hit to do Clyne>Mcauley for a hit to put 11 out. (if Clyne is confirmed out tomorrow)Open Controls
yes to both...even the hit makes sense to me wit the fixtures Sot'on have coming up
Open ControlsYou think McAuley the right choice? I can't find anyone better in that price range.
Open Controls
Do A.
Open Controls
Quick question; I was planning to get Howard for Mignolet after this GW, but will lose 0.2 if I don´t do it today. Seeing that Pool seems to concede goals against anyone at the moment, does it make sense to do the trade today instead? Not for a hit by the way.
Open Controlswondering the same thing myself
Open ControlsI would look at it this way-
Arsenal will certainly score but West Ham are not a free scoring side. So, if you can afford it I'd do it next gw.Open ControlsThanks for the feedback. That´s what I am leaning towards myself at the moment. It is not Pool´s resilience I put my faith in, it is watching the CPL-WHU on Tuesday that has me thinking that WH are almost incapable of scoring at the moment. RavMo out also means that the little bit of flair they have is gone.
Open ControlsLiverpool will most probably get that long awaited CS this gw.
Open Controls
Probably would do it today.
Open Controls
Narrowed my options down to the following:
A) Gerrard ---> Hazard
B) Brady ---> Whittingham/Bannan/Brunt/Shelvey
Which is the better option?Open ControlsA
Open Controls
Perfect team for the next 6-8 weeks. Suggestions please....
Thank youOpen Controls
Arsenal.
Open Controls
Bannan, Redmond, Oviedo - which one ?
Open ControlsSchurrle likely to start this weekend?
Open Controls
No idea what to do this week and could do with some help! 2 freebies, 1m in the bank
Migs Lewis
Coleman Ivan Fonte Dawson Chester
Januzaj oscar cabaye sess Ramsey
Giroud Rooney Suarez
Do I do giroud to Lukaku to beat the rise? ( I want to keep Rooney)
Or do I do surgery on my MF and look to swap out 1 or two of oscar, cabaye or sess?
Or some other changes needed?Open Controls
Not seeing much Remy love on here. Man U are rotten and he does best when hitting teams on the break. Sticking with him over Lukaku for the forseeable future. Terrible idea?
Open ControlsI'm forced to, but I'd much rather have Lukaku. I think Newcastle will drop like a rock on the table over the holidays, even if they have decent fixtures.
Open Controls
Good picks in the midfield is a nightmare this year.
Look at the next 6 fixtures.
Without the current suspects of Ozil, Haz, Rambo, Yoyo etc pickings are slim.
United, Norwich, Spurs, Everton... Nothing there.Open ControlsOne of my ML rivals bought him this week. Incredible stuff.
Open Controls
Errr, where does Norwich fit in with those 3? 😉
Open ControlsMichu's back this gw. 😉
Open Controls
Has Oviedo got any chance of playing when Baines is back?
Open ControlsHardly any. Maybe some sub appearances on the wing
Open ControlsShame, would have made a great 5th mid. I might leave him in and hope.
Open Controls
If Deyo-la-fayo was classified as a mid i'd take a punt on him, and if Lamela was nailed on id also take him...
but like Brent said:
"If me auntie had bollocks she'd be me uncle"
Still, i'm winging it all the way without Rambo or Yaya. Personal challenge.
I'm after a power 3 of Hazard, Walcott and Silva long term.Open Controls
so after 8pts hit i end up with this team
Vorm
Clyne , Olsson , Ward
Couthino , Hazard , Ramsey , Gerrard
Aguero , Lukaku , Suarez
is it any good?Open ControlsDefense is a bit weak, but solid front 8. Ship a Pool mid in a couple of weeks.
Open ControlsWoah! You have been harshing Gerrard all week! What happened?
Looks good though. Mine better
Gazza Davis
Terry Coleman Burner Ward Chester
Ozil Hazard Gerrard Ramsey Ravel
Suarez Aguero Lukaku
(Also -8)Open ControlsThat's got some points in it MJ!
Open Controls
Considering I just bought him for a hit, selling Rooney would be silly yes?
Open Controls
Yes, it's just one week. He looks in the form of his life.
Open Controls
if you sell him for a hit then it evens out
Open ControlsNice, the numerical thinking of a banker. 🙂
Open Controls
I caved and did as YOU told me when I saw Oscar was out 👿
Nah jk I cop it on the chin. Regretted it straight after though even before the games. Wanted my cash back in midfield. So I've sold him already 😮 Seems knee-jerky but I wanted to undo my error. Much happier with Lukaku and money!Open Controls
