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.
Dzeko and 4.5 mid
Or
Fletcher and Erikson/SterlingOpen Controls
Is Wisdom likely to be a regular for WBA?
Open Controls
Jeez, I can't take this.
Off to bedOpen Controls
im outta here too, stroll on Saturday.

Last dilemma, I'm doing sun dream team. Transfer window 1 is after premiership game three. Arsenal's two euro matches count towards dream team. So I have Sanchez in because Arsenal have two extra matches before tw1. But Costa scored two tonight can I leave him out?
SANCHEZ or COSTA???
Cheers guys.Open Controls

best mids for 5.0?
Ben Davies tocked on?Open ControlsMuller

I was looking for a quick replacement for my man utd defender, who I am already losing patience with, and stumbled across manquillo. 0.4% ownership. What's wrong with him? Too much competition from Johnson?
Open Controls
He's .4 because he just joined and many casuals won't know who he is. Get Lovren anyway
Open ControlsBecause lovren will get more points or because manquillo isn't nailed on? Just tempted because full backs are supposedly more likely to get bonus points for attacking this year...
Open Controls
No City - Check
No Pool attack - Check
Scared? Only about liverpoolOpen Controls
So, chelsea GW1 defence, how sure are we Cahill and Terry will start at CB?
Open Controls
Schurrle, big attacking threat, Chelsea forums seem to think he's going to start, at 7.5 I feel it would be rude not to
Open ControlsMeh, Young is 2m cheaper and will outscore him
Open Controls
I am seriously considering it. Mourinho loves him, and we have seen what he has done with his other 'teacher's pets'. I.e Azpi took Cole's place and Oscar took Mata's place. Schurrle may become a starter on the RW, but I doubt he will.

Bedtime RMT. Good to go?

Similar to mine, see below.

How sure are we that Terry will start as many games as he did last year?
Open ControlsOne more RMT before bed. If you respond I will personally massage your testicles (or clitoris, ladies) for 56 seconds.
De Gea, Gilks
Cahill, Ward, van Aanholt, Wisdom, Moore
Ramsey, Sterling, Mata, Sigurdsson, Marney
Rooney, Costa, Dzeko

Open Controlssomeone already gave you it before didnt they?
Open Controls
Ok so i'll ask again...
What are people's thought on Henderson? I'm defo taking a chance on him, but people are still preferring Siggy?
My plan is a straight swap to Siggy after GW 1 anyway, but anyone big enough on Henderson to keep over Siggy?Open Controls
Mannioni
Like hendo. Prefer siggy. Got both.
Had to change team to accommodate costa but worried about lack of captain choices. Limited to just united chelsea and arsenal now. What do you think??
Courtious green
Baines clyne colo pva Moore
Hazard Ramsey siggy mutch 6.0
Rooney costa 7.0
Who do you think I should fill last spots with. Currently hendo and rivière but if I get rivière I have tj play him gw 1 which I'm not confident on. Just need the spaces filled with 13.0. What do you think??Open ControlsCheers TR, i'm liking Hendo for GW 1 then quick switch to Siggy.
I like the team but has it changed drastically from yesterday? or is that just my memory failing me? haha.
Personally i think Baines & Curtois could be downgraded to up Mutch and the 7.0 spot, but couldpay off with Baines potentially classed as an attcking mid as well as defender.
If i was confident on Curtois starting i'd feel much safer with him.
If you stick with what you have though, and there's no reason you shouldn't, then i'd go for Henderson at 6.0 and Austin/Jelavic/Bojan for the 7.0 spot and use the remainder to Upgrade elsewhere 🙂Open ControlsThanks mannioni.
Yeah had to change a fair but to get costa. Was hoping it would be hazard that bagged a brace and not costa. No such luck eh.
Thanks againOpen ControlsNo probs man, i think its worth the sacrifice to get Costa, i may even captain him GW 1 & 2. Still keeping faith with Hazard as well.
I'm sure you'll do fine anyway 🙂Open ControlsMannioni

DDG (myhill)
Rio ferdinand, bruce, Terry (moore, wisdom)
Hazard, Mata, Sterling, Ramsey
costa, Bojan, Rooney
Went bojan isntead of siggy, just cant see siggy getting on the scoresheet whereas can see bojan appearing for stoke quite a bit.
Thoughts?Open ControlsA. Ramsey, Sterling, Sigurdsson
B. Hazard, Coutinho, MutchOpen Controlsthink i may ditch utd def altogether tbh
Open Controls
Instead of boring you with my RMT shit, I've adopted the following strategy. Running two teams:
week 1 -- pick the FFS and TotalFPL teams to save me the donkey work.
week 2 - climb aboard the bandwagons, and wildcard with the balls out.
simples - less stress all round.Open Controls
I've finally settled on this. What could possibly go wrong?
Begovic (Green)
Terry Debuchy Clyne (van Aanholt) (Baird)
Rambo Mata Eriksen Coutinho (Marney)
Rooney Costa BojanOpen ControlsBojan, Coutinho could go wrong.
Open Controls
Very similar to mine. So for that reason I like it. I have fabregas where you have coutinho but apart from that an identical front 8 (including marney)
Open ControlsI had Fabregas at one point aswell but the fact that he looks to be starting deep put me off. I think Coutinho will play at 10 more often than out wide this season. I know Bojan is a punt but worth the risk imo...
Open Controls
So do we know if anyone's nailed on in Stokes defence yet
Open ControlsI joined a draft league on fantrax (8 teams, each of us couldn't share the same player). I got last pick in the draft and ended up with this squad:
Begovic
Terry Cahill Jones Evans Mangala
Fabregas Eriksen Lamela Henderson Tadic DeJong
Rooney Bony Pelle
Thoughts? Personally I'm amazed I got so many nice players!Open Controls
A) Silva, Tadic, Sturridge
B) Nasri, Eriksen, Sturridge
C) Sterling, Hazard, Dzeko + 1.0Open ControlsC
Open Controls
Least essential for first few GWs
Eriksen Hazard Mata Ramsey SterlingOpen Controls
I wasn't able to watch Chelsea's match. How did Fab and Hazard look? I have Costa and Hazard but am looking to see if I should drop down to Fab.
Open ControlsShane Long going to Southampton! Interesting
Open ControlsThe front line of Rooney Sturridge Costa initially looked absurd but now looks unbelievably tempting as you can still get a decent enough midfield
Open Controls
I planned my defense around DDG and Terry if that's of any help.
Open Controls
Thinking of starting with a defence of:
Cahill Mariappa Naughton Chambers Moore
I can then swap either naughton or chambers when their respective competition is back in the frame from injury. Seems like a good opportunity to have defenders from premium teams, even if I will be using a transfer or 2 down the line.
Thoughts?Open ControlsNot a bad idea but will Chambers actually start? also, I don't think Mariappa will start.
Open ControlsToo many ifs and buts in there for me. I don't want to be thinking about transferring players because you end up with other areas that are more important as well due to injuries etc.
Cahill, good. Mariappa, swap. Naughton, swap. Chambers, swap. Moore, good.Open Controlsthanks for the input lads
