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.
Guys could anyone tell me what they think about Bairds prospects to play in CM every week. He seems to have gone under the radar somewhat despite the fact he's been practically nailed on in all the friendly games at CM.
I'm not too familiar with how WBA usually line-up, so is there a player who is currently injured that will come back to take his spot? Or are we all over-looking what appears to be on the face of it a nailed on OOP prospect for 4.0?Open Controls
Same question
Open Controls
Would love to know this
Open Controls
I think it was Mulumbu and Yacob and when Yac got injured Morrison who'd been playing in the hole dropped deeper...I remember because some people had Morrison and suddenly his prospects were nerfed
Brunt plays mainly wide or maybe AMC and Dorrans is sort of a reserve central midfielder (box-to-box) who might be a good pick if he played more
but you should also beware Craig Gardner who's a new signing
(any of this could be wrong)Open Controls
Any idea why Arnautovic is being seriously overlooked despite him being in most of the teams when the game was released and Stoke's favorable fixtures?
Open ControlsHe disappointed on a lot of occasions last season, many were burned by him.
Open Controls
just got him in my team replacing siggy.
arnautovic had a rough start last season for sure, but he was prolific in the end. He had his time to adapt, I think he'll be stoke top point scorer this season and with the favourable fixtures, difficult not to pick him.Open Controls
Costa Captaincy wagon?
Open Controls
So Bafétimbi Gomis, haven't watched much of him so I'm not sure about his potential. But just based on his stats,
Average of 12.8 goals scored, and 35.6 appearances over the past 5 seasons is quite decent.
Anyone care to enlighten us on his prospects and how he will line up in the Swansea team?Open ControlsI'd be more interested in him if Bony leaves
Open Controlswhere does he play when Bony is there? Or will he play the Michu role. Hence, the suggestions that Siggurdson will be stuck out wide.
Open Controls
Will play second fiddle to Bony unless he leaves. If this does happen, expect his stocks to skyrocket
Open Controls
so guys luis is he worth it? I know he isn't nailed on so im worried
not sre about hutton or wisdom either
also best capitain optoion week 1? ramsey?Open Controls
If Luis plays, yes he is, but I am not sure what the consensus % chance of start. Hutton and Wisdom were common choices recently (at least for short term options). The best captain according to the poll is Rooney, however others are saying Sturridge, and/or Costa (and I am sure there are also a good number for Ramsey, Dzeko, Hazard, etc.)
Open Controlswell should I go vertogehn instead?
Open Controls
This is my current defence, some thoughts please?
Jones - Chester - Ferdinand - PvA - Naylor
Also considering swapping Jones for Ward and keeping 0.5m spare in the bankOpen Controls
Swap Jones for Ward and you have my defense. (talked about on the last page) I like it obviously.
Open ControlsWho's your gk btw?
Open Controls
Keep jones in there, make sure the other four rotate well, check it out on the ticker
Open ControlsThey rotate pretty well, would be even better if I could get Mariappa/Kelly in there but don't know that situation just yet.

Help! I am close to what I want but still hesitant. Need city cover?
Beg - Krul
Caulker - Baines - Luis - Chambers - Clyne
Grealish - Sterling - Eriksen - Noble - Ramsey
Costa - Rooney - Austin.Open Controls
You don't need City cover!!! Your midfield is very weak though
Open ControlsI agree that coverage does not equal points so if you are happy with your team except the coverage aspect, I would not worry about it. Just pick the players you think will score points.
You have a very strong defense at the expense of your midfield. If you think the points will balance out, then go with it. You could downgrade a defender and upgrade a midfielder if you wanted to, but once again, if you like your team, stick with it.Open ControlsI don't like that team at all
you'll have a lot of cash on the bench some weeks
it's perfectly possible to get a team where the weakest of your 7 attackers is Eriksson...you've got noble and austin who are probably weaker
ok you've got baines instead...but why?...have you checked the fixtures?Open Controls
I don't know why more don't have Noble
Last season 2nd amongst cost/pts valueOpen Controls

Open Controls
Would appreciate some thoughts on these 2 options please. Cheers.
A) Debuchy, Sterling, Jovetic
B) Clyne, Siggurdson, Sturridge
Rest of team
Krul Elliot
XX Ward PvA Moore Wisdom
Ramsey Mata Eriksen XX Marney
Rooney Costa XXOpen Controlsi have seen Marney in most of the teams.. any special recommendation??
Open ControlsB
Open ControlsMate the way I see it, if your going to have two 4.0 defenders, you better well have Sturridge in your team.
Open ControlsWell, Debuchy can become Clyne in A, and another 4.0 becomes a 4.5 (Chester most likely)
Would this swing things in A's favour?Open ControlsYou could get away with playing clyne every week after Liverpool for a while. Could work
Open ControlsYea the idea with Clyne was to play him every week after Liverpool. Well A definitely feels abit more secure balance wise, but B...yea B is B, big up top but not as strong across.
Open ControlsYou don't lose much in the midfield that's for sure. Keep tinkling with the defence, you may come across a combination that works well with your budget that you haven't seen yet
Open Controls
Good afternoon all,
Any good alternatives to Bartley and Wisdom?
Are they the best defenders that 4m can buy?Open Controlshutton is the best
and bruceOpen Controls
Think i've finalised my team thoughts?
Foster Krul
Luis Naughton (until walker is back) Naylor PVA Baird
Ramsey Hazard Mata Siggy (Isgrove)
Jovetic Costa RooneyOpen ControlsSo, I've finally arrived back at the team I started with just over two weeks ago... 😆
I was happy with it then, and I'm happy with it now...
If only I could stop tinkering... 😕Open ControlsYou always know when your team just looks right. Get this warm feeling all inside 😉
Open ControlsYeah I know what you mean, although I've had that feeling with a few different teams...
For some unknown reason, I have never felt good with Costa in my team so I'll start without him, and wait and see how he goes... only Hazard for me...Open ControlsHad this discussion with someone earlier.
As much as I would love to have hazard in my team, it's the second player, the one who will parter either hazard or costa who is swaying it for me.
I have gone with Eriksen and Costa - as I feel more comfortable with Eriksen rather then having Giroud or Bony parter Hazard, at the same value mind you.Open Controls
that's jizz I think aha

The posters in the RMT thread need to learn some etiquette! 4 replies to 4 posts and not one comment on my post.
How rude. Like it better in hereOpen ControlsMost are newbies just looking for praise and advice on their own teams but don't care less about posting for others. I don't spend much time in there because of this

Hello Folks,
I have a bit of dielema whether to select A Young or Henderson.
Both have done pretty good in Preseason.
A Young is 0.5 cheaper compared to Henderson has good fixtures and with Valenica injured he will be more advanced.
Henderson is also looking dangerous but after 1st fixture next 2 are difficult opponents
My current team :
Krul/ Foster
PVA, Cahill, Wisdom, N Taylor, Caulker
Young, Ramsey, Shurrie, Mata, Siggy,
Rooney, Costa, Dzeko
Let me know your opinions on the same
Thanks

Hendo
Open Controls
it's an interesting team...but S & Y are both punts who may well be in and out of their teams...you can probably get away with one because Y is your cheapest attacker...but two is very risky...remember you'll get other players injured and rested unless you're very lucky
W is also very insecure and you may well need to switch to 4-4-2 more often than you'd expect...but you could go Krul/Elliot and upgrade him to somebody decentOpen Controls
