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.

    Would really appreciate some help lads...

    -----------------------Begovic / Krul--------------------------
    *Vermaelen* / Luis / Davies / Wisdom / Mariappa
    Ramsey / Hazard / Mata / Sigurdsson / Albrighton
    ---------------Giroud / Dzeko / Rooney-------------------

    First time I've looked at my team in a while, and clearly Verm needs to be sorted out, any suggestions...? Cameron?
    Or could down grade Bego and use the extra 0.5 to get another united defender?
    Also Albrighton's injury is concerning...?
    Thanks 😀

        Sounds good actually, don't know a lot about Marney though...
        Should I be concerned about the lack of defensive coverage from the likes of City/Utd/Arsenal/Pool...?

      tough fixtures, terrible preseason form and fitness doubts over the target man and Coleman.

      They aint cheap enough to be worthy of a gamble IMO and other sides have similarly priced players showing better form/fixtures.

      Blind is a DM primarily. He's a bit on the slow side to play LWB in a fast league like the Prem

      Rojo is the left footed CB they are desperate for. And can cover LB, LWB

      Seems like Ashley Young is doomed then. Backup to Valencia at RWB and no chance of playing LWB

        Under Van Gaal, at the World Cup, Blind played LWB and LCB in a 532 system the majority of the time. He only really plays that midfield role at Ajax. Would be some move by LVG if he benches a 30 million buy.

      Why is Lovren such a popular pick, what have I missed? 30%. most popular defender, and that's with city and spurs away in the first three games... Do people expect Liverpool to tighten up at the back? Why is Mignolet so unpopular then? Doesn't make any sense to me.

        I think people really rate Lovren as a defender and think he'll help Liverpool tighten up. Also he's a good goal threat. Liverpool only need to tighten up a bit and he's a good pick. If they tighten up just a bit more, I think he's a great pick. Mignolet's unpopular, I assume, because cheaper rotating gks tends to be more economical.
