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.
-
Palace could park the bus and Swans are probably gonna put up a fight against United. It's tough to go for Ramsey for the great initial fixture, but Mata has good long term value. What do you guys think. Ramsey or Mata? I have Rooney up top already. No other Arsenal coverage.
Open Controls -
Will try again. Thoughts on Carlos Sanchez's price tag when this is confirmed?

I see. THIS Sanchez.
Open Controls -
lol ah
Open Controls -
You wombat

reading that it sounds like he's a DM
Who caresOpen Controls -
DM, playing for a wonderful (but shit) team. 5m would be my guess.
Open Controls-
Ah okay. Would maybe have been tempted if he comes in at 4.5. If he's a proper DM though who never scores or assists, probably not
Open Controls-
well, El Ahmadi is 4.5 so he could figure at that price - but i doubt it. El Ahmadi could be a right bargain btw, I'm slinging him in for those early fixtures. Never coming off my bench but if he scores, bandwagon price rises!

Well Demi sometimes even you need to try twice 😉
Open Controls

who's taking a wild punt or two? I currently have Wilson from MU
Open Controls-
Tut tut
Open Controls -
that's not a punt, it's a big mistake
Open Controls -
Trippier for me
Open Controls

Schurle at 7.5m is a good buy, trust me. I am thinking of downgrading Fabregas..
Open Controls-
Is he likely to start GW1 though? Doubtful surely?
Open Controls-
He will start 25-30 games this season. GW 1. Oscar isn't back still. Tonight was our first lineup. more or less
Open Controls-
Oscar is a CAM, Schurrle plays on the wing.
Open Controls-
Schurle plays in our winger. With Oscar our, Fabregas could play 7 and Hazard could cut inside. Our new lineup isn't sterile. Oscar not playing increases Schurle starting chances IMO def.
Even when Oscar comes back, Ramires could be out for the easier opponents. Something like:
Costa
Hazard Oscar Schurle
Fabs MaticOpen Controls-
in out winger, stupid auto correct
Open Controls-
Salah, Willian
Open Controls

-
I do hope he starts, had him as a punt in my very first draft, but I think it's wishful thinking. That said, I may well go for him if I decide to drop Yaya, in my holy trinity team.
Open Controls

-
yeah and Schurle pumped his ppm last year, Oscar is shite, Schurle is decent, even from the wing

hummmm
Open Controls-
Yes agreed Daniel..... Have heard he could be one of Chelsea's key players
Open Controls-
He definitely upped his game. had great second half of last season,. great world cup and it seems to me that he is the only natural goalscorer from midfield. He is our goal threat. I might even start with him... Considering it.
Was just waiting will he be fit in time. But Jose was forcing him in the friendly matches earlier in order to become match fit.
He didn't do that with Oscar !!!Open Controls-
Oscar is his blue eyed boy though, giving him a rest.

was just thinking about this change myself Daniel,
Open Controls-
Give us a lot of cash to upgrade 3rd striker or getting decent defender.
Open Controls-
I would have preferred Fabs playing further forward but it doesn't look like this is what is going to happen. Schurle is risky, Mourinho pulled him early a few times last season but if he can start well then he could be worth taking the risk with.
Open Controls -
ok Danny Boy, lets do this !!!!

Open Controls -
Is Ashley Young and option or am i kidding myself?
Open Controls-
The latter
Open Controls
-
A or B?
A: Hazard and Eriksen
B: Fabregas and RamseyOpen Controls -
That article has validated who I am selecting from city and arsenal. Good stuff.
Although I think I can hear a small but growing voice in my head 'kolorov, kolorov, kolorov'. Not the voices againOpen Controls -
I'm doing Kelly Yoshida Bruce Chambers and one of Muniesa/Wilson, any stoke fans said anything? I heard Wilson will start the season until Huth is ready.
Open Controls-
What a headache that will turn out to be after a week or two
Open Controls

-
Is anyone else getting nervous they don't have Yaya in their team. He's the one player I fear not having this season.
Open Controls-
At last year's price, yes.
At 11.0 it means people with Yaya will be unlikely able to afford more of the "One in Four" mids for let's say 8.5-10.0m, so it could work either way to be fair.Open Controls -
I think the money I save and use for other players will outweigh the points he will score
Open Controls
-
Fabregas & 2 x 5.0m defenders
OR
Hazard & 2 x 4.5m defenders?Open Controls -
Go for DeGea or Jones?
Open Controls -
Best defender rotation pairing for 9M? 🙂
Open Controls-
Cameron/ Taylor is one I like but it's hard to say whether Cameron will start GW1.
See NEW/ WBA also and I think Hull-QPR rotate well.Open Controls -
Chambers Naughton
Open Controls -
Kelly and Ferdinand
Open Controls -
newcastle and Crystal rotate well after GW 1
Open Controls -
O'Shea / Coloccini is pretty good
Open Controls

-
Pretty clear cut B
Open Controls

Sigurdsson.

Anyone know of who chelsea's back four will be?
Open Controls -
Is Alex Bruce likely to start? Any Hull City fans about?
Open Controls-
Hull fan here..In a 3 5 2 he is likely to start but in a 4 4 2 he's likely to be benched
Open Controls -
Well, it seems like... oh wait, I'm not the one hull fan who may possibly frequent this site..
Open Controls -
not nailed
chester, davies nailed and they just purchased another cbOpen Controls-
OMG, Hull fans coming out everywhere
Open Controls

I'm a Hull fan, honestly.
And he isn't likely to start often.
Chester and Davies the two main centre backs. Just signed Harry Maguire from Sheffield United.
On the plus side for him, he is versatile and can fill in as a right back. And he's Steve Bruce's son, so probably gets more gametime than he deserves.
He'll be a utility player, also depends on how seriously we take the Europa League, if we get to the groups.Open Controls

All the Kardashian bints are fat ugly dogs. There, I said it

Defence
Midfield
Forward
My predictions are
Cahill
Hazard
Van persieOpen Controls-
Baines
Sanchez
AgueroOpen Controls -

Hi guys, just your thoughts on my team and who I'm also thinking about.
Foster (Krul)
Lovren - Williamson - Figueroa (Bartley, Moore)
Mata - Fabregas - Rodwell - Lamela - Ramsey
Rooney - Costa (Bojan)
What are your thoughts on Sterling, Henderson, Caulker and Nasri?Open Controls -
A) De Gea, Pieters, Mariappa/Kelly
B) Begovic, Ward, Caulker/Clyne
Which looks better? If B, Caulker or Clyne?
Thanks chapsOpen Controls -
These would be my only Chelsea or City:
Dzeko and Fabregas or Jovetic and Hazard?
ThanksOpen Controls -
