Today’s Wembley showpiece between Chelsea and Arsenal affords Fantasy managers further opportunity to scout our options for the upcoming campaign, with the Premier League kick off now just six days away.

For the Blues, Diego Costa is sidelined due to “discomfort in his hamstring” once again. Loic Remy is handed the chance to lead the line in the Spain international’s absence, with loan signing Radamel Falcao on the bench. William and Ramires join Eden Hazard in the attacking midfield three behind Remy, with Jose Mourinho naming last season’s defensive regulars along with Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic in the double-pivot.

Theo Walcott gets the chance to lead the line for Arsenal, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain selected in the XI as Olivier Giroud is named amongst the subs. Arsene Wenger’s side are as expected, otherwise, with Hector Bellerin selected ahead of Mathieu Debuchy at right-back, whilst Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey join Oxlade-Chamberlain in the positions behind Walcott. Jack Wilshere misses out through injury for the Gunners.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Believe it or not Ox was the first the name on my sheet when I saw the prices- think he'll have a breakout season and nail down the right wing spot eventually but it seems such a silly punt to waste an Arsenal spot if he doesn't start. Besides most of his impact will probably creating the space for goals rather than getting the goals/assists.

        Caz/Walcott/Giroud are the ones along with Ox to get rotated I think. Ramsey and Ozil only two that will play 95% of games.

    Still better having Walcott/Ozil/Ramsey from the off. If it is the case that the Ox is getting gametime and fantasy pounts then it's an easy transfer switch after 4 or 5 gameweeks.
