With only three days remaining until the 2015/16 Premier League campaign gets underway, we thought we’d take an in-depth look at the first match of the domestic season, which took place last Sunday. Arsenal’s 1-0 Community Shield victory over Chelsea finally broke Arsene Wenger’s winless streak over nemesis Jose Mourinho, thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain’s first-half wonder strike.

As Fantasy managers start to fine-tune their final 15-man squads for the campaign ahead, our next members article delves into the data from Wembley’s weekend showdown.

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

    325 on RMT, happy with that! What score does your team have?

      I've generated a 325 team too but I'm settled on 311.

      Kane's numbers won't be achieved, in my opinion.

      1. Lucy.
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah. I think his numbers are optimistic, but he'll do very well imo.

    4. Ludo
      • 12 Years

      Must have Kane with a score like that!

      1. Piggs Boson

        Yeah 🙂

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        You have to enter a full 15 players. Then the number is in the bottom right hand corner.

    2. The Nuttmxn

      Not sure on Villa, could be a lot of new faces on the pitch.

  5. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A) Ritchie + 4.5M defender + Graham (3-5-2)
    B) Wilson + Cedric + Fletcher (wba) (3-4-3)

    Thoughts guys?????

    Thanks!

    Schmeichel
    PVA - Elphick - Bassong

    Good enough for the sky game defence?

  7. Swift
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A) Cedric and Coates
    B) Jenkinson, Targett, 0,5m ITB

    Which would you go with? Aguero transfer plan already decided and this has no impact on it.

    Southampton manager Ronald Koeman refused to be drawn on speculation that he wants to sign Celtic centre-back Virgil van Dijk.

    "We need one more in that position," Koeman said, but added: "He is a Celtic player there has been a lot in the media about him, my best position is to say nothing about that. Everyone knows he is a good player, there has been a lot of interest for him we will see what happens."

    Azpi and fabregas hazard

    Or

    Ivanovic mane hazard

  10. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    is this MID-line too weak:

    Hazard - Mane - Chadli - Milner - Sinclair

    ??

    1. Fernando Torres
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't say so.

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No it looks good. I have the same but with Mahrez over Sinclair.

    3. AVIELD949
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    4. mahone24
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      On paper maybe but with rotation and a strong strike force it could work well

  11. r0scr0w
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A. Courtois, Mings, Walcott (+0.5).

    B. Mignolet, Azpilicueta & Cazorla

  14. Ibralicious

    Westwood surely the best nailed on low ownership 4.5 mid?

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      yes..keep it a secret

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years

        Haha well I guess I just ruined that :O

    2. r0scr0w
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Bentaleb?

    3. Lucy.
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Is he completely nailed? I'm interested.

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Sherwood gave a particular mention to him, saying only a VERY good player can displace him. You can find the article if you look around. Also started most games solidly pre-season.

        1. Lucy.
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Awesome thanks

      2. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        FPL Towers have priced 7 mids ahead of him on the pecking order, It's not completely without risk. And a non-nailed 4.5 mid often quickly becomes a non-nailed 4.4 mid. And then it gets worse.

      Eh? 🙂

  15. DD DUBAI
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Carzola & Payet or Walcott and Ritchie ?

    1. mahone24
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      W & R for me

  16. mahone24
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    going Hazardless for the opening 3 GWs so with that in mind what's the verdict....?

    A/ Fab + Deeney
    B/ Depay + Sakho

    Already have Mane + Walcott so adding Depay might be one too many streaky addition....?

    1. DD DUBAI
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Depay and Sakho imo

  17. QPR expects... glory!

    Evening all. Anyone know the schedule for the official Managers press conferences on Thursday and Friday?

    Will really put the cat amongst the pigeons if Pellegrini pronounces Aguero fit and Rodgers says he'll start Tekkers 😆

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I hope neither give a clue. Those who go with them should be rewarded. 🙂

      1. QPR expects... glory!
        • 14 Years

        Hopefully we'll have the bib theory revealing all up in Liverpool 😉

  18. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is anyone considering Ibe or Sinclair?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I don't think Sinclair is a bad shout at all. Will be on pens too at Villa.

      I'll be shot down for mentioning it though

      1. QPR expects... glory!
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        More the case that 'penalty' and 'Villa' aren't often mentioned in the same breath. Except when they're defending of course 😀

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      ibe is a good pick.

    DUGOUT FC Draft Review :

    My college league draft has just finished.
    I've assembled my team in the form of 1GK - 6DEF - 7MID - 4FWD.

    Will like to have some thoughts from you guys ? Here it is,

    Guzan
    Dann - Morgan - Bertrand - Naylor - Jenkinson - Cawson
    Milner - Ayew - Blind - Matic - Tadic - Bolasie
    Lukaku - Giroud - JRod - Rooney

    Thoughts please ?

    1. Kevkav
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Blind is going to be playing defence for united this season

      1. A-VB
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        In Dugout FC game you can either play him as Mid or Def as you feel the need to and points will accordingly be alloted..

        Besides, the rewards for DMCs in this game is way better than in FPL.
        Matic was in the top 15 last season for that reason. Blind was in the top 25 or so.

    Who is this Oxford I'm seeing in teams?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Obiang back in training

        I am not confident on this one Doos

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Who's confident?

          I have ALWAYS said that he may POSSIBLY play ...

          Burke is more likely, which I have also made clear.

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            but he too is only very short term

    C) Other, please state name

    1. najk

    Sunderland back 4, does anyone look nailed on at 4.5?

    1. El Cube
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      OShea?

    2. QPR expects... glory!
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Coates

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Only PvA is 'nailed', but Coates looks pretty safe to me. Jones probably starts over Matthews but there may be some rotation.

    4. Huddersfield
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Matthews / Jones O'shea / Kaboul Coates PVA

    Question is whether to captain Lukaku or not...

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Might as well. It may pay for the double hit, if you're lucky ... 😉

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I think you should captain Johnny Evans instead

    3. El Cube

      Be bold, go with your guts. =P

    4. Coldplay

      Not why you have Lukaku? 😛

          No particular reason. Have nothing against him. Just think there are better options than him.

    Just realized I have 3 players from Southampton. Cedric, Mane and Pelle? Have I lost my mind or is this normal?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Normal. But you have the wrong defender ...

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Agree, but I have Cedric, too, because of monetary constraints. I agree that Fonte could get more BAPS.

      2. Coldplay
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Don't really have the cash to upgrade him to Fonte (I know 😉 )

        What would you do with this?

        Schmeichel Ruddy
        Kosc Cedric Huth Francis Saylor
        Haz Wally Mane Ritchie Bentelab
        Rooney Kane Pelle

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          If you are serious with the question ...

          Ruddy to Butland
          Cedric to Fonte, Saylor to Williams
          Walcott to Cazorla; Mane to Chadli, OR
          Kane to Sakho or Gomis

          1. Coldplay
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            I definitely am and thanks for the ideas Doos. I' going to have a tinker again. See I don't have Palace players anymore 😉

    2. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      You have lost the plot but I am biased!

  26. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who is the best placeholder for Aguero?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Agüero. 🙂

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. I was just thinking Of bringing him in wk 3 but I may just keep him and bench come into play.
        I hate to say this but my team is starting to look like yours. I'm even thinking of doing Mane > Chadli now.

    Chadli has been subbed off btw. 55 mins and a great goal, lovely.

    And Lloris is on the field...
