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.

@Doos: Can you honestly tell me if you still rate Young very high and gonna have him in your team when the season kicks off?
Open Controls-
How's it going Avishek? Team sorted?
Open Controls-
Hey. Going good mate. Been working crazy hours but all is well on FPL front ;). Team almost sorted. Just been weighing Dzeko vs Sturridge
What about you?Open Controls-
not to bad mate. Planning my wedding 🙂 more or less sorted with my team as well... currently no Chelsea mids

Obviously I'm not Doos, but I think he's an option, considering how well he's played... Certainly for first couple of GWs

Will Kelly start for palace?

So on this thread everyone is saying Hendo. On the RMT thread, everyone has Siggy in their teams with no Pool coverage. #Confused
Open Controls-
Belief in Hendo since day 1 !!!!!
Open Controls-
I guess the people needing their teams to be rated don't know as much!
Open Controls-
People think I'm crazy because I believe that Hendo is going to outscore Siggy and Ramsey
Open Controls-
Ramsey might be pushing it haha
Open Controls -
LOL
Open Controls -
But if the majority of people think Siggy is gonna outscore Hendo... maybe I should get Siggy? Why the faith in Hendo?
Open Controls

Surely siggy over Hendo
Open Controls-
Any reason why? Hendo been getting forward and plays for an attacking team. Fixtures against him though. I just like having a middle 4 all from top teams haha. Looks better

What's everyone's strike force like ATM?
Mine is: 'Rooney, Dzeko and Bojan' but I'm thinking of getting Costa or Sturridge for Dzeko.Open Controls -
A) Sterling + 6.5M def + 5.5M (3-5-2)
B) Sturridge + 5m + 4.5M (3-4-3)Open Controls-
A would have Zamora
Open Controls
-
-
Mmh, am I thinking strategically or plain stupid?
I choose Fabregas for GW1 and keep 1.5m ITB to upgrade a player if need be.
OR
I choose Hazard for GW1 and keep 0.5m ITB which isn't really enough to upgrade anyone (except maybe def).Open Controls -
Still sticking with Palace double defense with Ward and Dann. though the injury doubts and changes at the back have got me a bit worried
Open Controls-
is it likely to be
Kelly Dann Hangeland WardOpen Controls-
Yup... though he should stick with Mariappa for a bit. with Speroni just a couple of bad performances away from gettin serious pressure from hennesey they only real options seem to be dann and ward with a swap to kelly later on
Open Controls -
Yep, this ^^^^^
Open Controls-
That was supposed to be at Ramessi's line up
Open Controls
-
-
though i gotta mention!! Palace eyeing George friend from Middlesborough.. a natural LB too
Open Controls
-
-
Dann or Ward VALAR? I have Wad, but fancy the differential...
Is there more risk to Dann?Open Controls-
Hangeland should replace Delaney.. Dann is a Pulis signing and has not put a foot wrong so he should start every game. Delaney has looked a bit off and Hangeland looks like his replacement.
Open Controls-
Fancy both to start. Ward does take a few corners and should shift to his natural position this season so expect more assists. the BP system looks like it'll favor him too. i love dann though. cant go without either 🙂

Morning all, the Dzeko v Jovetic poll yesterday got a great response with Dzeko edging it 63 votes to 58. Thank you to all who voted. http://strawpoll.me/2323820/r

http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Philip-Buckingham-Hull-City-boss-Steve-Bruce/story-22711904-detail/story.html
according to this, Bruce is nailed on for HullOpen Controls-
Lol he is not nailed..
Open Controls -
"Harry Maguire, Paul McShane, Maynor Figueroa and Alex Bruce will vie for that spot but it is the manager's son who heads the queue."
Hardly nailed on.Open Controls-
And that's IF they play 3-5-2

I feel pretty certain having Sturridge from the go is a good idea, but when I look at it, it becomes a choice between Sturridge + Sigurdsson and Dzeko + Mata.
What is your opinion?Open Controls -
Which 4,5 mid is likely to play most this season?
1. Wanyama
2. Marney
3. Tiote
4. Al Ahamadi
5. AlbrightonOpen Controls-
Hi guys,
would really appreciate some help - can you please RMT?
De Gea
Debuchy, Distin, Lovren,
Mata, Fabregas, Ramsey, Henderson,
Ronney, Costa, Austin
(Murphy, Cameron, Shelvy, Targett)
I'm thinking of swapping Fabregas or Ramsey for Sterling?
Also maybe Henderson for Siggs (especially if i brought sterling in)...
Any thoughts / suggestions please?
Cheers!Open Controls -
I am guessing that Marney, Wanyama and Tiote are pretty much nailed on. Out of those I would go Marney, simply because we do not -know- that he offers next to nothing attacking wise.
Open Controls-

Wanyama offers near to nothing attacking wise. Just gauranteed 2 points

Open Controls -
Thanks lads! Seems like we think Marney is the most nailed on 4.5 mid and that none of them are more than 2 pointers.
Open Controls-
I would say Albrighton. I have very little faith in Burnley and Marney is quite susceptible to picking up bookings...

Thoughts on:
1. Young as a first 3/4 week gamble.
2. Sigurdsen prospects/value at 6m
3. Van aarnolt as a 4.5 defender
4. Krul/Foster keeper comboOpen Controls-
1. Think it could be good. If I do not go Mata, I am considering it myself.
2. He's a good prospect, most likely.
3. Yeah, also good, but opening fixtures do not rock my boat.
4. I am between this and DDG/4.0. Not sure what will bring the most points (although I am sure it will be less of a headache)Open Controls -
You think Young is sure to start the first 3 GWs?...
Open Controls

What do you think of the prospects of the following players:
1) Luis
2) Mariappa
3) Cameron
4) DzekoOpen Controls -
Hey fellas.

Hey, how's the tinkering going?

MATA VS GIROUD: My team dilemma is
A) Mata,
feeding RVP + Rooney, but as last night might be non existent, early substituted by Kagawa or Januzaj as the man in the hole is a common substitute watching LVG sides over the years, but with great opening fixtures
OR
B) Giroud,
being fed by probably the best midfield force in the premier league with the likes of ramsey alexis santi ozil theo etc, there is no way he shouldn't be scoring big (even I would score if fed from those players), but a low rotation risk and not the kindest opening 7 fixtures
Would it make sense to start with A and the switch to B or other thoughts please?
thanksOpen Controls-
I thank u both, even though B gives me a more balanced team as there would be a 4,5 mid instead of a 5,5 forward, plus the 0.5 giroud is cheaper, it is 2mil difference
Open Controls
-
PvA or Rio?
Open Controls-
Pva
Open Controls

Had my team sorted and ready for GW1, log on this morning and find that Evans is an injury doubt. WHYYY
Open Controls -
@Home Run Baker... Are you on Sturridge over Costa now? How does your team look?
Open Controls -
Does anyone know how many cleanies Chelsea got in the Prem last season?
Open Controls-
18
Open Controls

-
Need 3x 4.0 Defenders that are likely nailed on?
Open Controls -
Chambers - is he worth a punt for first GW? If Arsenal continue where they left off, a clean sheet looks likely, and hopefully a price rise or 2 out of him before selling him later.
Doesn't hurt to bench as well @ 4.5Open Controls-
I was thinking the same but I went for pva
Open Controls-
reason why I bring it up is I recall Jenkinson the season before last - given a surprise start in first GW, gets a clean sheet + assist and bonus...cheap as chips too.
Could be sth similar. He could even get a goal on his home league debut!Open Controls-
It would also give you a bit of time to choose the best 4.5M option
