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.
Team done and please RMT
Begovic Krul
Morgan Terry Azpilicueta Bruce Wisdom
Eriksen Tedic Mata Sterling Sigurdsson
Rooney Costa Bojan
I am considering to downgrade Sigurdsson to 4.5
and replace Bojan, good?Open Controls
do that
or make Tadic > Davis
Azp > Cahill azp not nailed Luis gonna get minutesOpen Controls
Brown Drinkwater
Open Controls
How essential are Sturridge and Costa to you guys?
Open Controls
Costa- essential
Sturridge- luxuryOpen Controls
A) Eriksen & Terry
B) Hazard & ChesterOpen Controls
I thought you had the team done? Go with your gut.
Open Controls
Which of the following would you prefer; if you had to choose between these two options?
1) Mata, Luis/Azpi
2) Sanchez, Coloccini/Ferdinand
Note: I already have Ramsey and RooneyOpen Controlsmata no contest
Open Controls
Thoughts on a punt on Schurrle? Looks like he'll be first choice on the right wing, and could get some big hauls against the weaker sides (i.e. the first few gameweeks)
Open ControlsI'm looking at Schurrle + Dzeko -> Bojan and Sanchez after the first 2 weeks (since I think sanchez needs a little bit longer to settle)
Open Controls
its risky, but i like it. too risky for me though.
Open ControlsCan't see it. He's only been back with the team a week right? If he gets the minutes, it'd be great, but it's possible he'll play 30 minutes or less over the first two weeks. Too risky for me.
Open Controls
am i the only one freaking out about this evans injury?
Open ControlsYep, Man u attack is where its at or DDG if you want a defender
Open Controls
rooney or costa
keep in mind I have both hazard and mata./..Open Controls
I guess not many people spend time in the RMT thread. I strongly suggest you go there now, though, to rate MY team 😉
Open Controls
Just put here and I'll rate it.
Open Controlswill do, its all about me, me, me in the RMT thread. One chracater posted the same team 3 times on the one page within 30 mins before.... stand by
Open Controls
Anyone considering Jovetic? I think if he gets game time he's a bargain. Prolific striker and is in hot pre-season form. With the way he's playing you'd think he'd be favourite over Dzeko, and there are still doubts over Aguero's fitness.
Open Controls
A. Begovic + Evans/Jones
B. DDG + Ward
Ward would be my most expensive defender and play basically every weekOpen Controlsalan hutton to play much for aston villa? best 4.0 defenders?
Open ControlsWard or Ben Davies(if he's first choice)
Open Controls
Replacing Sterling with Henderson and Mata with Young gets me so much extra cash to put into defense and strikers, someone talk me out of doing it!
Open Controlsshit, Koscielny is injured too!
Open Controlsshit you had Kos in your team to start?
Open Controls
A) Sturridge and Wanyama
B) Remy and Fabregas/ Ramsey
C) Giroud and Coutinho/ Eriksen ( Lamela in my team)
D) Bojan and Hazard / Yaya / AlexisOpen Controlshaz
Open ControlsDepends on who you get to partner them
Open ControlsCosta will score more over the first 6 gws imo, therefore i pick him to start
Open Controls
Open Controls
Thoughts on this bunch? Any improvements?
Krul - Mannonw
Luis - Caulker - Ward - Bruce - Wisdom
Henderson - Mata - Ramsey - Siggy - Marney
Costa - Sturridge - Rooney
Defence too light? Cheers 🙂Open Controlshttp://tinypic.com/r/2w2ehlg/8 my team
Open Controls
The £4.5m midfielder.
Not exactly much along the line of decent options folks. Who we going for?
I'm nearly tempted to wait for word from Pearson and hold Albrighton. I don't really plan him playing anyway.
And if I have to pick Marney I'll gouge my eyes out with a fork.Open ControlsI'm sticking with wanyama. 2-3 points when you need it
Open Controls
Get the fork ready, or Wanyama/Tiote.
Open Controls
At 4.5 I would rank them Albrighton, Wanayama then Marney.
Also thinking if it's worth paying 0.5 more for Steven Davis from Southampton?
Does he play behind the hole? If any of my player don't play and this 5th mid step in at least there's potential for more points..Open ControlsI used to have Albrighton but have switched him to Marney, simply because he is nailed on.
If Albrighton becomes nailed on I can switch on a WC and get him. But for now I want my squad members to start for their teamsOpen ControlsHow would you compare the nailoness of Wanayama vs Marney then?
Surely Wanayama plays for a better team?Open Controls
I'm going for Isgrove, just in case he's the next great winger from that Academy. He might not play, but I if you're going to gamble, it might as well be with a minimum player.
Open Controls
me too
Open Controls
I've currently got Wanyama, though I'm not all that enthused about it. Apparently he scored a few for Celtic prior to joining Southampton (6 I believe) so he's got an eye for goal and should be nailed on in the saints midfield with all the departures. Then again, he picks up cards.
Some have touted another Saint - isgrove - as a cheeky punt but I have no idea who he is.Open ControlsBy then of this you will have no dick and a gorged out eye. This FPL business is dangerous for you
Open Controls
Has the Sigurdsson bandwagon ground to a halt?
Open ControlsIt's slowed down, but hasn't reached a complete halt.
Open ControlsI got off at the station, sat on the platform for a while mulling things over, watching other vehicles (e.g the bojan-wagon) speed by at break-neck speed, bound to crash.The Henderson train stopped for a while to refuel, and I considered hopping on. Yet eventually I came to my senses and reboarded the siggy train as it came back the other way, shedding thoughtless owners. All aboard the siggy express!
Open ControlsBut the Hendo line is a one stop to points heaven.
Open ControlsThe Hendo train, once boarded, leads to instant gratification with good early progress as it rips through Southampton.Yet this proves to be a false dawn. As the train begins to move faster, it becomes weighed down by it's many occupants, leading to spectacular collapse. The siggy train chugs by scornfully, picking up survivors from the crash site, whilst some remain stuck in the wreckage, with the price of boarding the siggy express now too high and out of reach for many.
Open Controls
😆 I upgraded to the Alexis Bullet and imagined enjoying $1000 caviar. But I couldn't bear the expense and hastily got a refund.
That said, have you considered a Siggy/Bojan wagon combo? Two for the price of two! It cannot be beat!Open Controls😀
A thought briefly considered and hastily dispatched:
I sit aboard the now quiet Siggy train on a Friday night, considering my options. A long journey is scheduled for the next morning, and impatience is the word of the day, so I decide to switch the plush interior of the siggy express for the more jaded, crudely designed bojan-wagon, as it need not travel further than it's home town of stoke the next day.
The following afternoon, whilst travelling aboard the bojan-wagon, I hear a joyful cry over the radio that all travellers on the siggy express have just been delivered bounteous returns, in the form of breakfast buffets and banquets, for its namesake has just won Swansea a tight game. The driver of the bojan wagon is do distracted by the news that he forgets to apply the brakes in time as we approach the station. The train skids, loses traction on the rails and a number of carriages are thrown from the tracks. The bojan-wagon eventually stops in a crumbling heap, with only a single red carriage remaining on the tracks, ironically reminding its former occupants of the red card and season-ending injury its own namesake has just sustained.
I'm good thanks.Open Controls
its not a bandwagon (yet).
6 mil for a starting attacking mid is a good investment (one i haven't made though)Open Controls
A, B or C for the last few slots?
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 ControlsB
