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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      I think people are avoiding him because opening fixtures is against United and you can get Siggy for 6.0

        That's my concern. If he plays in the deep mid role his point potential is seriously reduced. If he plays in a more forward mid role like the old frank lamp and then he's a very good bet and at 1mil cheaper would be a better choice
