This evening’s Members article takes a look over the action in Sunday’s Community Shield showdown between Arsenal and City. Having assessed Alexis Sanchez’ display our lunchtime Technical Area post, we delve into the data to discover for any hints of form ahead of the weekend Gameweek 1 deadline.
6.0 is expensive for a rotating defender imo. Vertonghen doesn't seem to be completely match fit anyway, so I'd wait until he's back, and see how their defence performs.
I expect them to be tight at the back this year, and will probably bring in Rose or Davies if one of them nails down a spot.Open Controls
Better cover on the flanks with two new signings. Still likely to bring in a new centre half partner to Vertonghen. So 'yes' but not immediately I'd say. I go to WHL a lot BTW.

thanks for the responses
Open Controls
is everyone spending their full 100m?
i feel like keeping 1m in the bank to make it easier to jump on bandwagons or solve an injury problem without taking any hits. last year i took hits the first 8 gameweeks to cope with some heavy injury problems while also trying to keep increasing the TVOpen Controls
Trying to keep money aside but its difficult.
Open Controls
Spent it all
Open Controls
Keeping half a million back as will want to change Jelavic into Ade or Soldado depending who spurs striker is
Open Controls
Depends if I do Erik or sterling final spot. I don't mind a hit or 2 early, just got to make each transfer count. Got a whole season to put the $ to good use on top of any immediate benefit from having a better player
Open Controls
Who is nailed on at the back for Stoke anyone?
I need a 4.5m man. Cameron or..?Open ControlsThis is the problem.
I really want to do a rotating pair of swansea and stoke but like you only have 4.5
Have had to go sunder land swansea instead which is not as good but they have nailed on 4.5sOpen Controls
Has anyone tried a team with Rooney+Sturridge+Costa?
Is it possible without compromising the rest of the team?Open Controls
433 its easy
Open Controls343 it's good yh
Open Controls
lol
Open Controls
Hot Topic
Open Controls
Hold on I'll link you the 66 pages that TFF has on this.....
But you already know this 👿Open Controls
😀
Open Controls
Lots of us have. Here's an example
Krul Elliot
Caulker Clyne Kelly Wisdom Moore
Ramsey Silva Eriksen Hendo Marney
Rooney Costa SturridgeOpen ControlsWow.
Open Controls
loooool
imo its just not worth it...what happened to balance 😕Open ControlsCan't fault the balance here
Krul
Jones/Terry/Chester
Mata/Ramsey/Snodgrass/Sigurdsson
Rooney/Costa/Sturridge
Elliot/Marney/Hutton/MooreOpen Controls
Ohhh Christina...:lol: 😆
Open Controls
A) Sterling + Hutton
B) Henderson + TerryOpen ControlsDzeko or Jovetic? I seem to change my mind every day. You would think Dzeko would be more secure given he is the classic number 9 yet Jovetic is on better pre-season form.
Open Controls
Have gut for Jovetic, and hes so tempting for me, but i think i will go with Dzeko
Open ControlsThats where I am. Tricky.
Open Controls
jovetic for me... oozes class
Open Controls
Jove. Just no that at some point you will have to change... Rotation risk.
Open Controls
A) Lovren, Henderson, Hazard
or
B) Moore, Sterling, Fabregas
?
Nasri or Dzeko for city coverage ?Open Controls
Liverpool have an all attack tendency, let the 4-0 not fool you… It was a 2nd string Dortmund!!
City coverage, Nasri fits. He was the outlet for almost all Mancity attacks in the Community shield… Dzeko, Match fitness has him 2weeks off top form. Wait for bout 2GWs. his price will have gone down too.
IMO…Open Controls
That's almost 2/3 of the budget for 12 players. Considering the present favour for 3-5-2 by PL clubs, CAMs will have a big year, FPLwise. Rooney Costa and Sterling & +2.5 for the squad!!
BR opts for 4-3-3, Sterling as the Inverted winger, SS!! He'l have >15goals this season. this translates to 21goals for a striker… Sterling wins!
IMO though…Open Controls
How's this for a midfield and strike force?
Sterling, Mata, Ramsey, Sigurdsson, Marney
Rooney, Dzeko, CostaOpen Controls
Which of these sounds the best option, choosing between 3-5-2 and 3-4-3?
a) Toure, Eriksen, Fab
b) Nasri, Lamela/Siggy, Costa
Any help much appreciated.Open ControlsB lamela
Open Controls
Pages are almost flying.. is this still DZ or not?
Open ControlsThe dead zone is now officially in another hemisphere!
😉Open ControlsHouston, we have a problem.
Open Controls
just you wait til friday 😯
Open Controls
Open Controls
Have space for a 9.0 midfielder, thinking -
A) Fabregas (have Costa)
B) Mata (have Rooney)
C) Silva (no City)
Forget Ramsey or SterlingOpen Controls
Hi Guys,
So has the arrival of Manquillo and Moreno affected Flanagan and Enrique's play time?
Was deciding between those two but now might look elsewhere....
Cheers.Open Controls
Not ready to be thrown straight in imo
Open Controls
When will the predicted line ups be up?
Open Controls
Sorry for the repost, got lost in the previous pages.
Which is better?
A. Begovic, Jones, Siggy and Puncheon
B. Krul, Naylor, 9m midfielder and Aluko(now that Long is likely to leave)?
Thanks.Open Controls
@Innsie: I'm currently on
Haz Mata Ramsey Mutch Marney/Albright
Rooney Costa Jovetic
and 0.5M in the bank for Bony/Giroud/Dzeko/whoever.Open ControlsLooks good. Bold strategy going with Mutch as a weekly starter though.
Open ControlsIt is indeed. I think I can find 0.5M if I opt out of a United defender and get Siggy or Punch, but not really sold on them either.
Open ControlsApparently QPR are the favourites to land De Guzman so watch out for that, he could affect Mutch's starting spot.
Open ControlsSurely he would play CM?
Open ControlsPossibly. Pretty sure he played as a CAM for Swansea on a few occasions.
Open Controls
Not worried about Hoilett rotation? I want Hoilett as my 5th mid in a 343/352, but bloody Mutch threat.
Open Controls
Sorry for the interruption, but is Mutch nailed?
Open Controls
I was just looking at the % ownership of my players.
Makes me think that it's pointless playing this game.Open ControlsVery few will have the exact same combo. By the time you have made a few transfers you will be unique
Open Controls
whats the thoughts on schurrle? think he has a chance of starting in front of willian?
Open Controls
Those who have evans in their draft, if he doesnt make it or is a doubt are you still going to get him?
Open ControlsA) Sterling and Dzeko/Jovetic + 3.5-4m
OR
B) Sturridge + CostaOpen ControlsA with Jovetic
4m a truckloadOpen Controls
I see Marney in a lot of teams now.
Did any of you bother to check his disciplinary record?
Just sayingOpen Controls
anyone going without any man utd defence? can't see them keeping many cleanies
Open Controls
How do those with the Holy Trinity (Rooney/Costa/Sturridge) aka cheap defenders going to fit in Baines later?
Open Controls
By having a crappy midfield.
Open Controls
Any update on Bosscielny?
Open Controlsjust has that tendon issue - sounds like he may not make it for palace 🙁
hence the haste to get manolasOpen Controls
Morning lads,
Anyone fancy doubling up on Pool with Sturridge + Sterling?Open ControlsTriple + hendo
Open Controls
9 years, 8 months agoWill tottenhams defense improve this year? thinking of putting in Vertonghen for rotation, they have a decent run of home fixtures
