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.

Can't decide on Clyne or Ward to rotate with Caulker... who would you rather for start of the season?
Open ControlsWard
Open Controls
Caulker and Ward rotate perfectly, but it's a lot of money spent on players spending time on the bench. Clyne could be played for about 10 weeks straight after Liverpool.
And just to put it out there. I'd much rather Ward in my team then Caulker; if I had to choose one.Open ControlsI knew this would happen.....
Open Controls
Well, maybe a consensus will be reached...I agree with MR...I would rather have Ward (or Clyne) than Caulker, but since you limited the question to start of season and with Caulker, I went with Clyne.
Open ControlsYeah fair enough. Looking for a good and cheap rotation.
Currently on Naylor, Wisdom, Caulker, Hutton, Clyne/Ward....
I think a downgrade of Rio to up Hutton or Wisdom and play Clyne each week could work (post GW1) as MR has mentionedOpen Controls
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis has always been one of my favourite words, but I find it quite ironic that people with the actual condition would struggle to draw enough breath to speak their own condition out loud...
Enter, the term Silicosis...Open Controls
Begovic / Krul
Ward / Debuchy / PVA / Chester / Wisdom
Hazard / Mata / Eriksen / Siggy / Puncheon
Rooney / Costa / Jelavic
1M in the bank. Where should I look to upgrade?Open Controls
vertoghen or luis
Open Controls
Damn Evans already injured.
It would have served his owners right if he was injured just before gw1 or gw2 - they should have known better and still picked him!
Also masses with Albrighton got lucky with that injury imo.
I'm a bit grumpy now, sorry 😕Open Controls
Tsk. Those masses again, when will they learn not to be so massy?
Open Controls
With Clichy and Kolarov both predicted to start GW1, it's sure tempting to start the season with Sir Aleksandar.
Open Controls
I put him in and took him straight back out. Felt gd tho
Open Controls
Better option?
A) Arnautovic + 4.0 defender
B) Snodgrass + 4.5 defenderOpen ControlsB
Open ControlsB
Open Controls
A, unless the 4.5 defender is part of a rotating def, and provided the 4M def rarely plays.
Makes it easier to downgrade to a 6M mid even if they go up by 0.1-0.2.Open ControlsThanks, I have 2 4.0 def's already, whoever I get (whether 4.0 or 4.5) will probably rotate with them
So that means A right?Open Controls
arnautovic on pens and free kicks, adam's not here!
Open ControlsThanks man,
Would give me this then
Krul
Evans/Terry/Moore
Mata/Ramsey/Arnautovic/Sigurdsson
Rooney/Costa/Sturridge
Elliot/Marney/Hutton/Duff
(I can always rotate the 3 4.0 defs)Open Controls
Who will score the least out of
A. Ramsey
B. Sanchez
C. FabregasOpen ControlsHmmm. Good idea to go Rambo & Sanchez as Arsenal cover?
That would leave Costa as my only Chelsea attacking coverageOpen ControlsOnce Sanchez settles, I would say yes, but no one truely knows when he will be settled.
Open ControlsHonestly think he'll slot in pretty quickly
Open Controls
1 is enough for me, at least for the start of the season, dont think they can score much with these fixtures
Open ControlsWho should I start the season with then?
Fab + Debuchy +1.5
Or Fab + Cahill + 0.5Open Controls
best mid option for 5.5 m??
Open Controls
a) mata + giroud
b) dzeko + ramsey
c) any other comboOpen Controls
Any Jelavic love now that Long's gone?
Open Controls
Debuchy over man u assets well worth it? I cant tell why he is not popular considering he bombs foward really often and Arsenal are tight at the back?
Open Controls
He's in my squad, especially with the points being added for successful dribbles now
Open Controls
Anyone tempted by Adebayor over Giroud, Dzeko and Bony in the 8.5m price bracket?
Open Controls
Is Ade going to get enough gametime? Soldado is looking better pre-season than last year
Open ControlsI assume he'll still get 90mins.
Open Controls
If he is nailed on,yes
Open ControlsSoldado is going to surprise many this season
Open ControlsHazard & Giroud or Diego Costa & Eriksen looks like it will be my final decision...
Open Controls
Mutch or Hoillet? Latter OOP acc to team lineups here.
Would be rotating with Davis for 4th mid.
(Yes, starting with Sturr-Costa-Roo)Open Controlsa) mata + giroud
b) dzeko + ramsey
c) any other combo
cheers!Open Controls
a
Open Controls
Lost on last page
Which 2 nailed on DFs are the best to have for 11m for this back 7
De Gea Guzan
PVA Shackell Pocognoli xxxxxxx xxxxxxx
Any help would be appreciated with this as this is the last piece of the jigsaw for the start of the season
TIAOpen Controls
i think the following is a pretty decent team
speroni / green
evans chester F.luis naylor moore
ramsey mata siggy erikson wanyama
costa dzeko rooney
potential improvements:
- downgrade luis but not sure where i would spend the extra 1m saving..0.5 on mid and def?
- speroni might not be nailed on...so go for krul and foster? use 0.5 to get a stk def
- dzeko > pelle and eriken >> silvaOpen ControlsI like it. I'd probably go Begovic+4.0
Looks really solidOpen Controls
Shameless repost due to five-minute pages last night
Probable Starters 14/15: Complete!

4 - most of the match
3 - played a half
2 - less than a half
1 - less than ten minutes
single underlined - scored
double underlined - scored two
bold underlined - scored three or more
name in red - injured, or suspended, or away on loan
name in orange - 50/50 chance of playing
name in yellow - slight knock or not match fitOpen Controls
Good work
Open Controls
Any idea whether players like Jerome Williams, Tyler Blackett and Reece James would be added into FPL? Blackett looked pretty solid against Valencia
Open Controls
Final RMT
Mannone (Krul)
Debuchy Terry Cameron (Taylor) (Wisdom)
Arnoutovic Sigurdsson Mata Hazard (Albrighton)
Sturridge(vc) Rooney(c) Jovetic
* Pantillimon or Mannone, based on what Sunderland do GW1
* Taylor Cameron rotation (not worried at all about cameron not starting, lock him in)
* Alternative 4.5 if Albrighton doesnt get up
* Selection is based on opening 8 GW's due to kind fixtures, will used WC around that timeOpen ControlsWhy is Cameron locked in?
Open Controls
Please RMT/10 lads, it would be much appreciated!
Foster
Naylor, Luis, Evans, Clyne
Mata, Cesc, Silva, Ramsey
Rooney, Costa
_____________________________
BENCH: Krul, Wisdom, Marney, Zamora
Will probably start Wisdom over Naylor in GW1.
Cheers!Open Controls7. Based on personal preference of not having 4 at back. And with all mids at same price difficult to get sanchez or hazard without kicking out rooney or costa.
Open Controls
Siggy or Hendo? No other pool or swans in my team.
Open Controls
Anyone have a link for defensive rotations
Open ControlsHow am I supposed to find the RMT thread?
Open Controls
9 years, 10 months agoCare to vote lads?
A: Bojan + Davis
B: Jovetic + 4.5
C: Zamora ( benched 3-5-2 ) + Henderson
