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.

        1. Traviscon
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Thought similar. I've contemplated getting rid of Depay and putting in an Arsenal mid but not sure who.

            Wondering about Man City cover.

          Try Ki (5.5 mid) and Jerome (5.0 stk)

        4. svgcr
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          STK. Wilson/Deeney are the popular choices. I am going with Defoe, can´t ignore those fixtures.

          MID. Sinclair

      4. GrumblyBlowfish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Anyone else think Benteke could do an Andy Carroll? Or just me? I realise he doesn't rely on crosses as much as Carroll but I wouldn't say he's a Liverpool style player.

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

          i dont think anyone can do a carroll, masssssssive fraud

        2. Moore FPL
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Apparently he's got more to his game than Carroll but we'll see I guess

        3. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          What is Liverpool's style anyway? Sterling was a small unconventianal type of striker and he didn't do that well, Liverpool may be able to mold their game around Benteke

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

            Sterling isn't really a striker and I wouldn't say he was terrible for them. When I think of Liverpool strikers though I think Owen, Torres and Suarez. Not really the Benteke mould.

        4. Butthead
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Totally different players.

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

            I wouldn't say they're that different. Both target men.

      5. Butthead
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        A) Azpil, Mane, Ibe
        B) Merte, Walcott, Wanayma

        1. Moore FPL
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          C) Merte Mane ?

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

            I think id probably do Merte and Ozil in that case.

      6. palace ash

        Does anyone know what actually happened to the 6pm Dugout FC draft today.

        Pushed to tomorrow at 9pm, but why?

        1. Gunners n' Roses
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Apparently was always tomorrow. And was showing today due to some technical errors.

          1. palace ash

            Thanks

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

        Has De Jong been playing in pre-season?

        Also, how has Wijnaldum looked?

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

          Yes and very good. Really like the look of both of them but I have Aarons and Mitrovic...howay the lads

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

            Cheers. Saints had a poor away record last season, and Newcastle had a good home record, so I can see Newcastle scoring. Will wait until fixtures improve for those two though 🙂

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

              Problem is we have a lot of players that can play the number 10 role. De Jong, Wijnaldum, Cabella and Perez. I'd expect De Jong to play there if he can stay fit though.

          2. Dušan Citizen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Is Aarons nailed on? This could be his season.

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

              No but I'm hoping he'll play he's our best player for LM and can actually cross a ball which Mitrovic will need. I presume the 3 behind the striker will be Aarons, De Jong and Sissoko with Wijnaldum and Colback in front of the defence. We could play Wijnaldum on the left though. I am taking a risk with him but it could be worth it

              1. Dušan Citizen
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 6 months ago

                Is atleast Mitrovic nailed on? Nobody threating his starting place? He is my favorite.

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

                  Mitrovic will be the main man this season but we may start Cisse for the first few games just to give Mitrovic a bit of time to settle in but I think it's more likely that he will start. We're trying to get rid of Cisse if the rumours are to be believed.

                  1. Dušan Citizen
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 12 Years
                    10 years, 6 months ago

                    Thanks

        10 years, 6 months ago

        Chadli got taken off after 53mins today. Safe to say he looks good for the weekend now?

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

          yep

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

          100%

      9. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Think I've cracked it... Well for today...

        Ruddy/Rudd

        Bellerin - Cedric - Azpi - Huth - Saylor

        Hazzy - Chadli - Sterling - Ozil - Ritchie

        Benteke - Wilson - Rooney

        Quite content with that. Can squeeze a .5 out of the defence or Chadli if I opt to go for Wally instead of Ozil

        Alternatively, here's the Wally team

        Ruddy/Rudd

        Bellerin - huth - Azpi - Coates - Saylor

        Hazzy - Chadli - Sterling - Wally - Ritchie

        Benteke - Wilson - Rooney

        Favouring the first one since it gets me a ticket to the Southampton defence and ozil is guaranteed once fit + better sub options too.

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

          Wilson > Deeney. Gives rotation option with Ritchie.

          1. Clintymints
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Only question I had left for today really!

            Checking both their stats on whoscored and they're pretty even. Deeney just notches it I think... I know little about both apart from their stats but I do like to spread the love

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

          No love for soton mid/fed?

          1. Clintymints
            • 16 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            Tadic if he can stay fit possibly, but not sure where I can squeeze one in!

      10. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Have Ozil.

        A. Wally

        Or

        B. Sterling

          A.

          Sinclair as 4th mid would concern me a bit. Like it other than that

            It's the sacrifice I had to make to get a strong front three, which makes the Aguero move easier.

        0.5 itb. Use it somewhere or keep to help get Kun in at some point?

        Myhill / Hennessey
        Azpi / Kos / Cedric / Francis / 4.0
        Haz / Silva / Cazorla / Mahrez / Westwood
        Rooney / Kane / Deeney

        Evening gents. Thoughts on these triplets please.

        1) Benteke, Sakho and Chadli + 2m

        2) Kane, Wilson and Sterling

      22. Lemmiwinks

        Coutinho or Henderson ?

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Henderson. Not a lot in it either way IMHO.

          Coutinho is the greater footballer but in terms of FPL, Henderson is a better pick.

          Still can't quite work out how that whole thing works but that is a good scenario.

            Thanks...I'm playing the sun dream team and have no Liverpool coverage. I think Benteke could have a slow start to the season so I don't want him in my team yet. I'm happy with my defence so that leaves midfield. The Sun award points for goals, assists and 'star man' performances. I feel this could give Coutinho a slight edge, what do you think ?

        So if everyone takes the full 2 minutes per pick in the draft tomorrow, that will be 20 minutes per round.

        They're are 18 rounds which means potentially 6 hours all together.

        Anyone going to be around at 3am still?

          Mine lasted about 3 hours.. highly recommend you check this out before you draft tomorrow

        FFS they priced Gradel at £6m. Not even going on my watchlist at that price
