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.

    Anyone got an insight into the chelsea GK situation?

    Is it a case that Cech is number 1 until he gets injured/ loses form? Or is Teebow going to slot straight in & start... Or are they going to be rotated?

    A nailed on chelsea GK at just 6.0 would be fantasy gold & would also stop me from toggling between JT/Azpi/Luis/No chelsea defs!

      I think Courtois is #1...but if I get him it'll need to be him and a £4m and I'm worried if Cech plays I'll end up with 0 points from my keeper.

        Yeah i was leaning towards courtois... But its very harsh on cech to just get relegated to the bench right out the gate. I though jose might gove cech benefit of the doubt & start the season with him as #1... I was thinking of going with krul or foster for gw 1 & keeping 1.5 ITB to upgrade to whoever jose starts vs. burnley...

      The best insight will come from Demi, but I don't think even he will know for sure.
      Personally I am fairly certain Teebow, as you call him, will be no 1.
      Can you imagine how good he'll be training with Cech.

      Yoshida is flying under the radar quite nicely.
      Chambers could be good short term value & in line for price rises.
      Rosenior attacking & goal threat...
      NTaylor @ Swansea (altho bartley should get similar points for 4.0)

      Sunderland/newcastles 4.5s rotate well

    @ Royal 5.
    Sturridge is obviously brilliant, I'm just not sure what he'll be like without his right hand man. Coutinho will feed him a lot as will other players, but I think there is better value out there. The idea is to see how he and Liverpool play and potentially WC GW4.

        I like it too but I don't like the look of any 5.0 defenders to be honest.

        Unless I go 4.5 and upgrade somewhere else. Hmm.

      Caulker scored very well last year yet only kept 7 clean sheets. Surely QPR will get more than that. Highest 5mill current valued scorer. He ended up valued at 5.3 too....

      But at this stage the 0.5 is too valuable, Hull have good fixtures and are up and running thanks to the Europa League Qualifiers so I'd go Chester for now

      Are people seriously going Chester over Caulker? Caulker managed 122 points last season while he was playing at Cardiff, who were completely mis-managed and poorly structured. He's playing at QPR this season, but he has a proven manager and terrific players in defence with him, should only go up in points this season imo.

      Think Hull could rotate a bit with the Europa Cup plus the dreaded Thurs - Sun fixtures.
