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.

          I've helped over there a few times but the amount of casuals that go on it and just leave after they've got their team rated. Like everytime it seems to be the same people rating.

    Is this the best or the worst reply? I (as you can see by my response) thought he was serious, but the guy he was replying to is a serial sponger so now I'm not so sure 🙂

    Is a front line of Sturridge-Costa-Rooney worth it?

      I've fallen into the trap of not paying for the best players in the beginning and been burnt so many times. I think alot of the players have potential, but we'll only see after a few gameweeks which ones are worth getting. with that in mind I think it might be best just to get the most guaranteed performers.
