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.
Any advice?
Krul | Elliot
Luis Ben Davies Debuchy Ward | Duff
Ram Fab Silva Mata | El Ahmadi
Rooney Costa | ZamoraOpen Controls
Are any of Hull's 4.5 defenders guaranteed starters? Chester?
Open Controls
Looks like Ill have to stump up an extra 0.5 for Cahill. Really wantes Luis though
Open Controls
Luis should play LB imo, but get one of Terry/Cahill if you can, just for extra security.
Open ControlsIm feeling the same way at the minute. Can always downgrade later right
Open Controls
I have both.
I'd probably prefer Cahil early
but long term LuisOpen ControlsYeah me too. Ill just stick with one though
Open Controls
Cahill or Terry are better picks and worth the 0.5 cost imo
Luis scored 0 goals and has 3 assists only last yearOpen Controls
Any of Southampton's 4.5 defenders guaranteed starters?
Open Controls
Is it worth downgrading Williams and Ward (to £4.5m players of the same team) to upgrade a £5.5m player (such as Mutch, Young, Shelvey) to Aranautovic?
Open ControlsArnie is love...
Arnie is life...
do what you must.Open Controls
Why swap Mutch? Great value
Open Controls
arnie hasn't been playing that well, so i'd say no
Open ControlsIf your 5.5 player has to plah a lot then mybe yeah. Otherwise dont bother
Open Controls

Shane Long £12m to Southampton is an odd one
Open Controls
Will Chambers be straight back out in GW2?
Open Controls
Won't last further than GW3 imo, as an arsenal supporter. He's looking great but would be a bad move to instantly replace Mert with a kid
Open Controls
Thoughts on this bunch? Improvements?
Mannone - Krul
Luis - Debuchy - Ward - Wisdom - Bruce
Ramsey - Eriksen - Fabregas - Sigurdsson - Marney
Rooney - Jovetic - SturridgeOpen Controls
A Schürrle / Sanchez
B Hazard / Sterling
Any thoughts?Open ControlsSo, Jonny Evans is trolling before the season has even started, the little tinker. I would have liked a Cup Noodle FC™ defender but I'm slowly going off the idea as Smalling, Jones and the others fill me with no confidence at all.
Open Controls
Yeah whos going to play? Blackett?
They've really pissed about signing players...again.Open ControlsI imagine LVG is seriously unhappy about this situation. The season starts in three days and they've still only got half a defence, and not a good half at that. Woodward had better come up with some decent signings quickly....
Open Controls
Best option for 8.0m or less? Coutinho, Eriksen, Lamela? anyone else in the bracket?
Open Controls
A) Eriksen/Lamela and Luis (would mean doubling up on Chelsea defense and going without united defense)
B) Jones and SterlingOpen ControlsAye, nailed on for a grim relegation struggle.
Open Controls
Bojan ?! He was crap at Ajax in a system ideal for him. Now he is supposed to do better in a higher league? Insanity!
Open Controls
There is a 2M difference there, for me toreally suggest what is better say what the extra 2M for Siggy over Lamela/Eriksen will get you
Open Controls
Anyone know if Vertonghen has played at all yet? Will he play this weekend?
Open Controls
Last season I remember defensive options being pretty clear cut.
This season is an absolute disaster to start, the world cup has certainly muddled some things.
I can't wait to wildcard GW4.Open Controls
use it wisely, no point saving it if you've made a balls of it.
Open Controls
Last few slots left to pick..
DDG, Hamer
Cahill Ward PVA Chester Moore
Mata Ramsey Marney ? ?
Costa Rooney ?
A - Hazard, Arnie, Austin (0 in bank)
B - Hazard, Siggy, Austin (0.5 in bank)
C - Fabregas, Eriksen/Lamela, Bojan (0 in bank)Open Controls
Dear Arsenal Experts,
What is Carzola's game time looking like? With all of Arsenal's midfielders will he be first team most weeks?Open ControlsSo is it best to swap Evans out for Jones now?
Open Controls
should I go with a big 5 mid ramsey hazard mata erikesen and sterling
with rooney and Austin
or downgradeone to a 4.5 mid and get costa?Open Controls
Please help RMT with my team playing a 3-5-2

A very respected voice around these parts turned me on to Diouf as a 3rd fwd option to begin the season. He feels Diouf is generally nailed on, Stoke's top striker ahead in the pecking order over Bojan and Crouch.
Yet, not much love from anyone else, and I am seeing in a non FPL version of fantasy that Bojan actually costs more.
Anyone else have a opinion on the merits of Diouf?Open Controls
I have a long term bias against Stoke attackers. Little expensive too. Could be an inspired choice though with their fixtures.
Open Controlsit has all the makings of an inspired choice I feel. This may be the 5th preseason Ive chatted on this forum and every year, there are one or two players that explode out of the gate that are virtually not talked about at all. I got a feeling Diouf is the one at Fwd. This isn't Pulis' Stoke anymore. 🙂 Their reputation makes me hesitate too, but those fixtures make me think its worth a shot.
Open Controls
If you have the money get Diouf. Nailed on and actually plays as the striker.
Open ControlsI am officially a Dioufus!
Open Controls
Diouf or Crouch will start up top imo. Bojan has been playing behind the front man all pre season has he not?
Open ControlsFPL usually get the pecking order right with their prices. Diouf is .5 more. That along with the scouting report from that trusted source have me thinking Diouf will be there much more often than Crouch. Crouch seems like the better bench weapon of the two.
Open ControlsStoke tried to get rid of Crouch a few days ago only for Crouch to say no. Diouf will play a lot more games than Crouch.
Open Controls
Hiya Fuzzy. I'm a Dioufus as well - he looks like he could be the best bet for discount striker this year. Lots of decent midfielders behind him, good fixtures, fair record in a strong league, Crouch on his last legs etc.
Open Controls
Hello guys.
I am at the dire position of needing a 4.5 Defender, which one you guys think will be either the safest option or the most likely to score option?
Thanks a lot!Open Controls
I love your grav.
It sort of depends on the rest of your defense. Newcastle & Sunderland have nailed-on options at this price range.Open Controls
Lol, just read the Mourinho quote on the Scout Tweets. Amazing.
Open ControlsIt's obviously Cech he's just not told Courtois yet as he doesn't want him to leave.
