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 want to captain Bojan for GW1.

    Is he completely nailed for 90 minutes though?

    Odemwingie and Arnie could challenge him for game time?

        Yeah, but I remember last season Campbell or Gayle or someone like that got the most points first up. This season it could be Bojan, especially with a lot of the big stars still recovering after the World Cup.

    It would have served his owners right if he was injured just before gw1 or gw2 - they should have known better and still picked him!

    Also masses with Albrighton got lucky with that injury imo.

      A, unless the 4.5 defender is part of a rotating def, and provided the 4M def rarely plays.
      Makes it easier to downgrade to a 6M mid even if they go up by 0.1-0.2.
