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.

      Similar to mine so I like... Spent too much on keepers tho

      1. Traviscon
        10 years, 11 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.

    Best 5.5M striker and 5M Mid?

    1. Yome

      Deeney, MAhrez

    2. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years

      Deeney (Wilson if you don't own Ritchie) and Sinclair

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Is Sinclair nailed?

        1. 32chickens
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          This week yes

    3. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

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

    4. svgcr
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

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

      MID. Sinclair

  5. GrumblyBlowfish
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      i dont think anyone can do a carroll, masssssssive fraud

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

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

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

      Totally different players.

      1. GrumblyBlowfish
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

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

  6. Butthead
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

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

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

      C) Merte Mane ?

      1. Butthead
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

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

  7. palace ash

    10 years, 11 months ago

    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, 11 months ago

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

      1. palace ash

        Thanks

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Has De Jong been playing in pre-season?

    Also, how has Wijnaldum looked?

    1. GrumblyBlowfish
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 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, 11 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, 11 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
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Is Aarons nailed on? This could be his season.

        1. GrumblyBlowfish
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 11 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
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 11 months ago

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

            1. GrumblyBlowfish
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 11 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
                • 12 Years
                10 years, 11 months ago

                Thanks

  9. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      yep

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      100%

  10. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      Wilson > Deeney. Gives rotation option with Ritchie.

      1. Clintymints
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 11 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, 11 months ago

      No love for soton mid/fed?

      1. Clintymints
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

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

  11. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Have Ozil.

    A. Wally

    Or

    B. Sterling

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      B

    Here is my non-template rmt

    McCarthy - Hennersey
    Azpi - Kosc - Soares - Coates - Taylor
    Hazard - Walcott - Sterling - Mane - Sinclair
    Rooney - Pelle - Wilson

    1. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Mane and Pelle bit much for me

      1. Demel

  18. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Okay boys, A or B? This could make or break my season.

    A - 3-4-3
    Ruddy (Rudd)
    Mertesacker, Cédric, Huth, (Coates), (Targett)
    Sterling, Hazard, Özil, Mané, (Fletcher)
    Rooney, Kane, Sakho

    or..

    B - 3-5-2
    Ruddy (Rudd)
    Huth, Mertesacker, Azpilicueta, (Coates), (Targett)
    Depay, Mané, Sterling, Hazard, Özil
    Kane, Sakho/Wilson (perfect rotation H and A)

    The thing I love about this site is that everyone posts with such apparent authority when in actuality, we all know very little 😆

    1. Parm

      Lukaku is destined for greatness.

      Im completely certain you're right

    4. Butthead
      • 12 Years

      Unless you're talking about the team you support as you're bound to have a bit more insight

      1. 4vets
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Most don't though. I'm a Liverpool supporter but have no idea what Rogers might be thinking 😆

        1. 4vets

  20. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    I have 0.5m to improve this team;

    Ruddy - Butland

    Koscielny - Darmian - Huth - (Prodl - Francis)

    Ozil - Hazard - Sterling - Sinclair (Wanyama)

    Rooney - Pelle - Benteke

    A. Darmian to Azplicueta
    B. Ruddy or Butland to Fabianski

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      A.

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

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

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

  21. Teddy Brewski
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    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

  22. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Evening gents. Thoughts on these triplets please.

    1) Benteke, Sakho and Chadli + 2m

    2) Kane, Wilson and Sterling

  23. Lemmiwinks
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Coutinho or Henderson ?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 11 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.

      1. Lemmiwinks
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        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 ?

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Henderson

  24. palace ash
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    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?

    1. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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