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.

Will tottenhams defense improve this year? thinking of putting in Vertonghen for rotation, they have a decent run of home fixtures
Open Controls-
6.0 is expensive for a rotating defender imo. Vertonghen doesn't seem to be completely match fit anyway, so I'd wait until he's back, and see how their defence performs.
I expect them to be tight at the back this year, and will probably bring in Rose or Davies if one of them nails down a spot.Open Controls -
Better cover on the flanks with two new signings. Still likely to bring in a new centre half partner to Vertonghen. So 'yes' but not immediately I'd say. I go to WHL a lot BTW.

thanks for the responses

is everyone spending their full 100m?
i feel like keeping 1m in the bank to make it easier to jump on bandwagons or solve an injury problem without taking any hits. last year i took hits the first 8 gameweeks to cope with some heavy injury problems while also trying to keep increasing the TVOpen Controls-
Trying to keep money aside but its difficult.
Open Controls -
Spent it all
Open Controls -
Keeping half a million back as will want to change Jelavic into Ade or Soldado depending who spurs striker is
Open Controls -
Depends if I do Erik or sterling final spot. I don't mind a hit or 2 early, just got to make each transfer count. Got a whole season to put the $ to good use on top of any immediate benefit from having a better player

Who is nailed on at the back for Stoke anyone?
I need a 4.5m man. Cameron or..?Open Controls-
This is the problem.
I really want to do a rotating pair of swansea and stoke but like you only have 4.5
Have had to go sunder land swansea instead which is not as good but they have nailed on 4.5sOpen Controls

Has anyone tried a team with Rooney+Sturridge+Costa?
Is it possible without compromising the rest of the team?Open Controls-
433 its easy
Open Controls -
343 it's good yh
Open Controls -
lol
Open Controls -
Hot Topic

Hold on I'll link you the 66 pages that TFF has on this.....
But you already know this 👿Open Controls-

Lots of us have. Here's an example
Krul Elliot
Caulker Clyne Kelly Wisdom Moore
Ramsey Silva Eriksen Hendo Marney
Rooney Costa SturridgeOpen Controls-
Wow.

loooool
imo its just not worth it...what happened to balance 😕Open Controls-
Can't fault the balance here
Krul
Jones/Terry/Chester
Mata/Ramsey/Snodgrass/Sigurdsson
Rooney/Costa/Sturridge
Elliot/Marney/Hutton/MooreOpen Controls

Ohhh Christina...:lol: 😆
Open Controls
-
-
A) Sterling + Hutton
B) Henderson + TerryOpen Controls -
Dzeko or Jovetic? I seem to change my mind every day. You would think Dzeko would be more secure given he is the classic number 9 yet Jovetic is on better pre-season form.
Open Controls-
Have gut for Jovetic, and hes so tempting for me, but i think i will go with Dzeko
Open Controls-
Thats where I am. Tricky.
Open Controls

-
jovetic for me... oozes class
Open Controls -
Jove. Just no that at some point you will have to change... Rotation risk.
Open Controls
-
-
A) Lovren, Henderson, Hazard
or
B) Moore, Sterling, Fabregas
?
Nasri or Dzeko for city coverage ?Open Controls-
Liverpool have an all attack tendency, let the 4-0 not fool you… It was a 2nd string Dortmund!!
City coverage, Nasri fits. He was the outlet for almost all Mancity attacks in the Community shield… Dzeko, Match fitness has him 2weeks off top form. Wait for bout 2GWs. his price will have gone down too.
IMO…Open Controls

-
That's almost 2/3 of the budget for 12 players. Considering the present favour for 3-5-2 by PL clubs, CAMs will have a big year, FPLwise. Rooney Costa and Sterling & +2.5 for the squad!!
BR opts for 4-3-3, Sterling as the Inverted winger, SS!! He'l have >15goals this season. this translates to 21goals for a striker… Sterling wins!
IMO though…Open Controls -
How's this for a midfield and strike force?
Sterling, Mata, Ramsey, Sigurdsson, Marney
Rooney, Dzeko, CostaOpen Controls -
Which of these sounds the best option, choosing between 3-5-2 and 3-4-3?
a) Toure, Eriksen, Fab
b) Nasri, Lamela/Siggy, Costa
Any help much appreciated.Open Controls-

Have space for a 9.0 midfielder, thinking -
A) Fabregas (have Costa)
B) Mata (have Rooney)
C) Silva (no City)
Forget Ramsey or SterlingOpen Controls -
Hi Guys,
So has the arrival of Manquillo and Moreno affected Flanagan and Enrique's play time?
Was deciding between those two but now might look elsewhere....
Cheers.Open Controls -

Not ready to be thrown straight in imo
Open Controls

When will the predicted line ups be up?
Open Controls -
Sorry for the repost, got lost in the previous pages.
Which is better?
A. Begovic, Jones, Siggy and Puncheon
B. Krul, Naylor, 9m midfielder and Aluko(now that Long is likely to leave)?
Thanks.Open Controls -
@Innsie: I'm currently on
Haz Mata Ramsey Mutch Marney/Albright
Rooney Costa Jovetic
and 0.5M in the bank for Bony/Giroud/Dzeko/whoever.Open Controls-
Looks good. Bold strategy going with Mutch as a weekly starter though.
Open Controls-
It is indeed. I think I can find 0.5M if I opt out of a United defender and get Siggy or Punch, but not really sold on them either.
Open Controls-
Apparently QPR are the favourites to land De Guzman so watch out for that, he could affect Mutch's starting spot.
Open Controls-
Surely he would play CM?
Open Controls-
Possibly. Pretty sure he played as a CAM for Swansea on a few occasions.

Not worried about Hoilett rotation? I want Hoilett as my 5th mid in a 343/352, but bloody Mutch threat.
Open Controls

Sorry for the interruption, but is Mutch nailed?

I was just looking at the % ownership of my players.
Makes me think that it's pointless playing this game.Open Controls-
Very few will have the exact same combo. By the time you have made a few transfers you will be unique

whats the thoughts on schurrle? think he has a chance of starting in front of willian?
Open Controls -
Those who have evans in their draft, if he doesnt make it or is a doubt are you still going to get him?
Open Controls -
A) Sterling and Dzeko/Jovetic + 3.5-4m
OR
B) Sturridge + CostaOpen Controls-
A with Jovetic
4m a truckloadOpen Controls

I see Marney in a lot of teams now.
Did any of you bother to check his disciplinary record?
Just sayingOpen Controls -
anyone going without any man utd defence? can't see them keeping many cleanies
Open Controls -
How do those with the Holy Trinity (Rooney/Costa/Sturridge) aka cheap defenders going to fit in Baines later?
Open Controls-
By having a crappy midfield.
