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.
Is Phil Jones pretty much as closed to nailed on as they come? When they play 3 CB's I guess yes, but when they play 2?
Open Controls
this is a worry as I'm looking to get him in
Open Controls
He was at fault for Valencias goal tonight.
He is reckless.
LvG is not afraid to break up the defensive template.
None of Uniteds back line apart from DDG are nailed onOpen Controls
Did Shaw play?
Open Controls
i have done it, sacrificed my defence to get all 3 of the big boys in....
Open ControlsYou have got Bojangles, Austin and Ulloa too?
😯Open Controls
Long term Saints XI (probably quite different to the GW1 team):
Forster
Clyne - Fonte - Gardos - Bertrand
Schneiderlin - Wanyama - X
Tadic - Pelle - Long
X could really be anyone from a list: Davis, Taider, JWP, Ramirez, CorkOpen Controls
For all the players you've lost - that doesn't look bad. Doesn't Jay Rod start long term?
Open ControlsYeah sorry, I wasn't thinking far enough ahead 😉
Not sure where J-Rod would come in but great to have options 🙂Open Controls
Lucy, how do you think Saints will start their campaign?
Open ControlsIsgrove?
Open Controls
Mourinho on Drogba
"He's good. I don't want to say ready for Monday. But I am not saying it is impossible for him to recover."Open Controls
Which one?
a) lukaku and giroud
b) costa and bojanOpen Controls
B. i have costa and giroud though.
Open Controls
LvG confirms the absence of Valencia, Shaw & Welbeck is due to injury - the latter only being a minor problem #MUFC
Open Controls
which Man utd defender and which Chelsea defender are the safest picks for GW1
Open ControlsSmalling, Terry
Open Controls
I have jones and luis
Open Controls
Terry Jones
Open Controls
None and none.
I'm going with neither. Can't be doing with all the uncertainty over whether a £6m defender starts for Chelsea or not and none of Utd's CB's are reliable.
Evans is injury prone, Jones is a headless chicken and Smalling is pants. LVG will need better CB's if he's serious about a top 4 finish.Open Controls
A ..fixtures
Open Controls
Because he's a troll.
Open Controls*JK troll post in 3....2.....1..*
Open Controlsnah, I don't need to anymore, my point has now been made, and proven
Open Controls
Just be happy he reminded you of that before the season started.
Open ControlsAsked the same question on last page. Given their fragility, 5.5m might be too steep.
Open Controls
Lovren. Leave Utd defence alone I reckon, regardless of the fixtures, is the play. They haven't looked secure in the friendlies, plus injuries and new arrivals to come making things very hard to predict.
Open Controls
Atleast he's done it a week early
Open Controls
Henderson to Young means I can afford Evans to Cahill. Boom!
Might start with Henderson and transfer him to Sigurdsson after GWK1.Open Controls
Any closer to guessing who is in the net for Chelsea?
Open ControlsSchwarzer
Open Controls
LvG confirms the absence of Valencia, Shaw & Welbeck is due to injury - the latter only being a minor problem #MUFC - indicates valencia and shaw could be worse
Open Controls
I'm going to say it again. Don't get any MUFC defenders they are all so injury prone. DDG or a fully fit Shaw only.
Open Controls
What Stoke defenders are guaranteed to start ever game when fit?
Open ControlsWho long is Kyle walker likely to be out for?...
Open Controls
So Sturridge has suddenly become essential? Can someone explain why
Open Controls
That comment is so two hours ago. Now it's all about Diego Costa again.
Open ControlsI'm now concerned about not owning either. Not been on all day
Open Controls
Yeah I've got Rooney...to get giroud I'd have to get rid of terry for a 5m defender. Just think Chelsea will keep clean sheets so not sure to gamble on bojan!!
Open Controlswhy do you have to get giroud?
Open Controls
It's a bit of a waste of time having a RMT section when nobody goes there to reply 😐
I think it should be put up as a "tab" up at the top of the page (beside team news section, hof etc.)Open Controlsit think it's the best place to look for advice though
Open Controls
I think that it should be killed. Stone dead.
Open Controls
Nobody SHOULD go there just to reply.
If everyone rated two teams while they wait for their own to be rated, everyone could get two replies.Open ControlsRMTs get on my nerves. I love the change
Open ControlsMake a rule that you have to reply to someone before you can post on there
Open Controls
Dann vs. Ward. Playing with the new CBI category in the members area. Dann is miles ahead of Ward and has always been a decent goal threat. Should be first choice still at CB, correct?
Open ControlsCombined clearances, blocks & interceptions. That's used for FPL bonus points, I think.
Open Controlsbut where did you find it?
Open ControlsMembers tables. Under letter 'c'.
Open Controls
Baps doesn't just cover that though. I thought there was a Community Article that concluded that Full Backs benefit under the new system.
Open ControlsThe article by BG concluded, I think, that full backs will be better off than they were last year but CB's should still beat them in BAPS.
Open Controls
Where will Ward play this season? LB? RB? Mid?
Open Controls
what about hangeland?
Open Controls
He ain't.
Open Controls
Koscielny and a 7.5 mid
Or
Ramsey and a 4.5 def (already got van Aanholt, Vlaar and Chester)Open Controls
How did Aaron Cresswell end up costing 5.5m? Way to kill off a prospect!
Open ControlsInjured, also.
Open ControlsI think FPL has become VERY good at pricing players.
Open ControlsYeah that sucked
Open Controls
Price list out?
Open Controls
Someone with stubby fingers entered the West Ham prices.
Open Controls
trippier level of attacking threat combined with a non laughable defence
Open Controls
rmt pls guys
begovic (myhill)
cahill debuchy shaw (moore wisdom)
sanchez fab siggy eriksen (davis)
rooney costa bojan
feedback greatly apreciatedOpen Controls
The dedicated RMT article is the best place for team advice.

Answer me these questions three!
1) Who is the best 4.5m midfielder?
2) Is Ashley Young a good pick at 5.5m to facilitate the big three up top?
3) Lovren or Debuchy or another 5.5m defender?Open ControlsI called someone mad for dropping Hazard yesterday, and I've only gone and done the same today...
Open ControlsMight end up foregoing United defence
I have no spare cash floating around, which means if i want DDG I have to find a 4.5 CB that can play GW1 and rotates well with QPR and PalaceOpen ControlsColocini
Open ControlsNot sure I can play him GW1, i was only playing Krul as I had no choice
Open Controls
I dropped my Utd defender this morning.
Downgraded to Rosenior at the moment. Prefer to spend the extra £1m on attacking players.
I'm going with Debuchy and a host of £4.5m and Hutton. Not sexy as far as these hallowed pages are concerned but Arsenal should get 15+ cleanies over the season and I'll play him every week.
Good enough for me.Open Controls
Lovren, Debuchy or Jones?
Open Controls
not jones
