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.
RMT please!!
DDG, Begovic
Ward, Cahill, lovern, Davies, Debuchy,
Sterling, Ramsey, Barkley, Eriksen, El Ahmadi,
Bojan Rooney, LukakuOpen ControlsLukaku unlikely to start GW1
Bojan unproven in the Premier League, but could be a great acquisition
Barkley overpriced for me with poor fixtures
Davies might not start early on, competing with Danny Rose
Don't need DDG & Begovic in there, one or the other plus 4mOpen Controls
Cahill + Baines is 300 points. Isn't that worth a measly £13m?
Open ControlsI think nearer 350
Open Controls
Why are people getting Dzeko over Jovetic exactly?
Open ControlsPlease help!!!!
A) Begovic, terry, fabregas, Costa
B) courtouis, terry, sterling, CostaOpen ControlsBest 4.5 defender?
Open ControlsRMT
Begovic
Ward Lovren Luis (Wisdom Bartley)
Fab Ramsey Hendo Young (Marney)
Costa Sturridge RooneyOpen ControlsNow that Long is going to play for Saints, Jelavic is their only striker.
His he a good option for 6m? Also his he on PK or is snodgrass?
I believe Jelavic might have a great start, with the easy fixtures they have.Open Controlshow did young look?
Open ControlsWould like to know the answer to this also

WHATS IT ALL ABOUT??
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 ControlsSo I currently have Luis, Fabregas and Costa and no Liverpool cover.
Do i change Luis and Fabregas to Cahill and Sterling just to get a definite Chelsea defender and Liverpool cover?Open Controlsyep
Open ControlsSounds a descent plan
Open Controlsyes. i have that and think its a better option
Open ControlsWhat no... don't do it because you think you need Liverpool cover. Pick whoever you think will get more points Fabregas and Luis or Sterling and Cahill

B) PVA, Siggy, Gaston, Diego Costa
A or B?
Thanks 🙂Open ControlsI still don't see the appeal of Dzeko over Jovetic but everyone going with D makes me nervous...
Open ControlsI'm going jovetic if that helps?
Open ControlsThe appeal is that he's scored really well and consistently in the premier league before. Jovetic has never had that chance. There's also a theory that Dzeko/Negredo is more likely to partner Aguero when he's fit because they're more typical target men. I don't totally buy that, I think that if Jovetic performs better than Dzeko he could keep his place.

Your feedback please:
Now that Long is going to play for Saints, Jelavic is their only striker.
His he a good option for 6m? Also his he on PK or is snodgrass?
I believe Jelavic might have a great start, with the easy fixtures Hull has.Open ControlsHuddlestone took their last penalty away vs Slovenian team. He missed.
Brady often takes pens. To be honest, they don't really have a proper penalty taker.Open ControlsThought it was jelavic
Open ControlsShow me more than 1 penalty that Jelavic has taken for them.
And I'll show you Huddlestone vs AS Trenčín away (Jelavic was playing).
Long vs North Ferriby at home (ok - Jelavic wasn't playing that one)
Brady vs Norwich and West Ham last year (Jelavic hadn't signed, but in fairness, Brady was injured when Jelavic missed his penalty vs West Brom, so who's to say that Brady wouldn't taken it?)Open Controls
So whats your thoughts on Jelavic , now that Long is being sold?
Open ControlsI think they'll sign a replacement before deadline day. I suppose he could be their main man for the short term.
4-5-1?
2 of Snodgrass, Brady and Ince on the wings
Huddlestone as holding midfielder
Livermore and Aluko in the hole maybe?Open Controls
RMT
Foster - Krul
Debuchy - Lovren - Wisdom - Hutton - Moore
Ramsey - Fabregas - Coutinho - Eriksen - El Ahmadi
Rooney - Costa - DzekoOpen ControlsDo you prefer Coutinho to Sterling? Why?
Open ControlsLook its a toughie two different type of players, I think our more difficult fixtures at the start of the seasons will suit coutinho more then sterling , whereas i think once we start playing the slightly easier teams sterling willl start wreaking havock on the lower teams fullbacks.
Open Controls
Sterling, Eriksen or Coutinho?
Arnautovic, Sigurdsson or Mutch?
Arnautovic is on penalties by the way.Open ControlsSterling.
Arnautovic/Siggy , depends on your 3rd striker.Open ControlsDzeko
Open Controls
Are you sure Aranautovic is on pens? If so this may change some of my decisions
Open ControlsYes, pretty sure. Adam and Walters won't be playing as much of a role this season.

Is there any FFS Head to head league for nonmembers ??

Sterling, Ramsey, Barkley, Eriksen, El Ahmadi,
Bojan Rooney, Lukaku
Thanks in advance guysOpen ControlsLooks solid
Im not convinced by Barkley given Evertons tricky startOpen Controls
Bit of a dilemma for GW1,
Not sure whether to go with Ferdinand in a 4-3-3 or Tadic in a 3-4-3
Any suggestions?Open ControlsThat was my first thought but then I can only really see him getting 2 points GW1
Ferdinand could well get a CS and some BPS on topOpen Controls
Definitely the 3-4-3 if those are the 2 options
Open ControlsHutton and Isgrove are my other two bench players so realistically its a toss up between those two
Isgrove may need to change now Long looks set to signOpen Controls
A Van Aanholt - Siggy - Giroud
B Ward - Sterling - BojanOpen ControlsCan anyone please tell me the situation with Luke Shaw?!
Open ControlsNot match fit atm.

Simple yet important question. The best cheapie dmen out there to be had..
Open Controls5 man rotation until GW 23 that only uses up 1 rotation:
Possible players: Cameron - wisdom - O'shea - coloccini - Taylor (22m)
Stoke - West Brom - Sunderland - Newcastle - Swansea
After GW12, transfer stoke to west ham and get the following:
Ast, sun, wba
Bur, ast/sou/hull

Open ControlsApart from Bojan and snoddy i like it.
Open ControlsWho would you go with instead then, have £1m spare
Open Controlscould defo put that 1m to use, Snoddy > Henderson Bojan > Austin and bank the 0.5 in my opinion.
Open ControlsIs Snod not on free kicks and pens though? Don't rate Hendo, not enough involvement in the game
Open Controls
Has Mourinho said anything about limiting his WC players' game time early doors. Schurrle looking puntalicious.
Open ControlsTo all those who entered my Talksport Predictor league
Thanks to everyone who entered. I have now reached the limit of 50 players. A message appears telling me that no more can enter the league but I currently have 61 players in there. Not sure how that works.
So if anyone applied after 10;30pm on 11 August I suggest you enter/make another league as you may not be included in mine. If I get any more news I'll post it on hereOpen Controlsmy front 7
