These are the listing of 5 potential captains for game week 4. Please take a note that all names above are the potential captains for that week. All of them are the good captain pick, but the captain with better fixtures and stats will be at the top of the table.

Hazard
GW4 fixture: vs Swansea(away)
Form: 3 Appearances 2 Goals
Hazard is best captain this week, when Antonio Conte clearly mentioning that Chelsea upfront players must be very explosive and "Kill the game as early as they can". Hazard stats have increasing significantly in the last 2 game weeks and he become more explosive. 11 goal attempts with 5 of it inside the box, and 6 shots on target are the highest shots on target in comparison with other EPL players. 5 key pass in the last 2 games also putting him better for chance of assist than Diego Costa that only with 2 key pass. Chelsea will play Swansea that already conceding 4 goals after 3 game weeks.

Lukaku
GW4 fixture: vs Sunderland(away)
Form: 2 Appearances 0 Goals
Sunderland already conceding 5 goals and 2 of it are at home. Barkley is another option at Everton where both of them recording 3 shots on target in the last 2 games, but we already made the stats comparison and we pick Lukaku because his stats are better. Lukaku made 5 attempts inside the box and also with 5 key pass in the last 2 games. Barkley stats are not so far, 4 attempts inside the box and 4 key pass.

Ibrahimovic
GW4 fixture: vs Manchester City(home)
Form: 3 Appearances 3 Goals
The Citizen still not keeping any cleansheets until now, and in absent of Aguero in the front line will affecting their attacking forces. Ibrahimovic stats are excellent in the last 2 weeks when the arriving of Pogba made United midfielders are more dominants. 10 goal attempts and 8 of it inside the box, that's the stats for Ibrahimovic in the last 2 games and no one can challenge these stats except Aguero, 4 shots per game inside the penalty box by Ibrahimovic is the highest attempts per game in the Premier League right now.

Sanchez
GW4 fixture: vs Southampton(home)
Form: 3 Appearances 1 Goal 1 Assist
Southampton still not very solid at the back when they conceding 4 goals in 3 game weeks. Sanchez arriving in the 4th places it our potential captain, not just because his stats are lower than above 3 but also because of the return of Giroud and Ozil in the Wenger squad. Giroud will taking back his role as the target-man and Ozil will be the focus person for creativity. Ozil creativity already proving in game week 3 where he creating 3 key pass in only 1 match and that is better than Sanchez where Sanchez creating only 2 key pass per match. Sanchez recording 5 goal attempts, 4 shots inside the box, and 4 key pass in the last 2 games.

Michail Antonio
GW4 fixture: vs Watford(home)
Form: 3 Appearances 2 Goals
Who is the on form player in West Ham even they are playing without D.Payet. This is the guy, our 5th potential captain for GW4. Slaven Bilic maybe thinking now, why I put this type of player as full back in the early season. Antonio already netting 2 goals, 5 goal attempts and 4 of it inside the penalty box. Good fixtures are coming, and in gameweeks 4 they will facing Watford that already conceding 6 goals in 3 matches.

Good luck with you captain pick!
