The Numbers Game – Community Shield Match Analysis

5 August 2015 2569 comments

Paul

With only three days remaining until the 2015/16 Premier League campaign gets underway, we thought we’d take an in-depth look at the first match of the domestic season, which took place last Sunday. Arsenal’s 1-0 Community Shield victory over Chelsea finally broke Arsene Wenger’s winless streak over nemesis Jose Mourinho, thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s first-half wonder strike.

As Fantasy managers start to fine-tune their final 15-man squads for the campaign ahead, our next members article delves into the data from Wembley’s weekend showdown.

  Rate but I'd chuck cerci in the starting 11 for Francis or Huth. Considering your midfield depth and deeney being a good punt, you could even do a 2 5 3 for the opener... 😉

Schmeichel (Schwarzer)

Cedric - Bellerin - Azpi (Steven Taylor, Baker)

Hazard - Fabregas - Ozil - Carzola - Wanyama

Rooney - Pelle (Sakho)
.

Is a bad idea to have 3 players from the same team? 🙁

    Yes, I am not to afraid of Arsenal. But a tripple with both Chelsea and Saints maybe a bit to much?
    
    Should I consider changing Fabregas/Wanyama/Pelle?

Hello my good scouts. I have spent endless nights changing my team, I'm like "this has to end, just pick a team and be done with it". Will you please help me with this? W/e tips you have I will decide my team tonight and go with it unless injuries or announcements of not playing players are dropped. Please rate my squad if you have the time, I have spent too much money on bets this year and really need to win some of them 😉
Bla bla bla and this is it:

Ruddy (Butland)
Cedric Huth Kosch (Francis and Williams)
Özil, , Ritchie, Mane, Hendo, Hazard
Sakho, Rooney, Pelle

GW1 I will bench Sakho for Hendo mid (3/5/2)

Thoughts?

hazard and rooney probably most popular and i have them in my team BUT chelsea might just iwn by the odd goal probably 1-0

My current team is

Ruddy / Rudd

Azpilicueta / Cedric / van Aanholt / 4M / 4M

Walcott / Hazard / Depay / Sterling / Wanyama

Rooney / Pellé / Wilson

I still have 1M to spend. What should I do to improve my team?

Hey lads, Here we go again then!

Cant settle on a squad but this is what i have at the moment. Any advice?

Butland (Schmeichel)

Azp, Mert, Cedric, Huth, Gomez

Hazard, Sterling, Hendo, Mane, Mahrez

Rooney, Benteke, Wilson

Hendo or Milner? My thinking for Hendo is he will be on set pieces.

Cheers

I think I'm done (haha yer sure).. Going to be hard to get Kun back in but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.. He could go ping a hammy rd 2 and everyone's plans will be dashed anyway. Any thoughts/improvements?

Ruddy (Butland)
Azpi, Mert, Gomez (Coates, Saylor)
Hazard, Ramsey, Ozil, Sterling (Wanyama)
