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.

    ARS v WHM

    Both Walcott AND Giroud have superb records against West Ham... a real favourite team for them both.

    Giroud:
    5 goals, 3 assists, 428 minutes.

    Walcott:
    5 goals, 4 assists, 486 minutes

    Minutes per goal:
    Giroud: 85.6...... Walcott: 97.2

    Minutes per assist:
    Giroud: 142.7...... Walcott: 121.5

    And finally...

    *drum roll*

    Minutes per attacking return:
    Giroud: 53.5.............................. Walcott: 54!

    So they both need to start. Who will? http://replygif.net/i/942.gif

    🙂

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

      Both will start, Walcott on the wing

    2. Nexus
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Both... Wally on the flank

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      And how Ox will feel if he starts on the bench ... ?

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

        Fancy cazzorla or Rambo on the bench to b honest

    4. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Walcott (C)

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

      Ozil definitely, Wally should do

    6. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Strewth! Gru burned me badly last year; don't want to go there. How has Caz done vs Collins and friends? I'd take the odds of a peno for the wee lad.

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

    Ozil or Benteke?

    First to 3...

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

      Bentke

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

      Ozil

    3. Yome
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ozil

    4. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Ozil

    5. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Tekkers!

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

    Haven't changed my team in a while despite multiple log ins. Think this may finally be it! Thoughts?

    Stekelenburg 4M
    Azpi Mert Cedric Huth Oxford
    Haz Caz Mane Milner Fletcher
    Rooney Kane Sahko

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

      Looks great

    2. Neilio66
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about the love for Huth in the teams ive seen so far. I would play Richards as a dove tail with Oxford.They have decent run of fixtures.

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

        Thanks
        I'm rotating Cedric/Huth
        Oxford will probably be my 3rd sub every week

  3. boerniew
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    pls rate my team

    butland / ruddy

    ivanovic / muniesa / huth / st taylor 4.0 / oxford 4.0

    fabregas / sterling / mane / özil // fletcher

    rooney / pelle / benteke

    -> both 4.0 could get some gametime
    -> downgrade ivanovic and get aguero

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

      I'd be concerned with 2 4M's, would get rid of one

  4. FPL Daniel

    Chelsea team? It's not hulked

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard out.
      Reserves mainly.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Falcao and Moses to score

  5. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
    • 14 Years

    Max Gradel will be a great signing at some point this year. Really makes things happen

    REPOST!

    Changing my formation a bit again. Haven't had any rotating 4.5s in my team before so I would love some tips. Thank you guys!

    1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      get 3x4.5's and rotate them 😉

    2. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I like cheap rotating defenders.. works for me ... Francis/Prodl
      is good as they get forward as well..
      I am alsp going OShea or another 4.5 Sunderland and S taylor Newcastle as he has played pre season, but not sure if he will keep his place?

    Evening chaps, pages are flying quickly!

    Any news on Aguero recently? 🙂

  10. Cassius Clay
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    lost in last page

    Why is no one mentioning Yoshida... Does not he have more chance of starting than caulker?

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

      50/50 imo, not risking either

    2. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Unlikely. Plus Koenan said he wants one more CB before window closes and they have a list they are working on

      1. Cassius Clay
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yes not worth taking risk thanks

    3. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldnt get him initially, better option would be to wait and see who Koeman is happy with as its between Yoshida, Caulker and potentially a new buy

      1. Cassius Clay
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yes Thanks

  11. Yome

    Team to play Fiorentina tonight: Begovic, Cuadrado, Zouma, Terry (c), Aina, Mikel, Loftus-Cheek, Traore, Oscar, Moses, Falcao. #CFC

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

      Cuadrado at RB lol

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Falcao and Moses to score tonight

        1. The Nuttmxn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

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

          Yes it would be nice for Falcao to score his first goal

  12. Yome
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea subs tonight: Courtois, Blackman, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta, Cahill, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Hazard, Willian, Remy. #CFC

  13. semiconductor
    • 11 Years

    muniesa good option??

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Too much of a risk, Pieters at LB, Wollscheid at CB.

  14. Beatle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who to start this GW -

    Francis (H to Villa) or
    Cedric (A to Newcastle)??

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

      A

    2. Catley94
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Depends how much Cedric is played tomorrow, don't think it will be much as they have a pretty comfortable lead at the moment.

    Please rmt...

    Im a regular finish in top 20k for last 5 years but this season feels different!

    Adrian (hennessey)
    Cedric, jagielka, mert, huth, baker
    Hazard, silva, sterling, ozil, fletcher
    Kane, benteke, wilson

    I need to shave 0.5m of this.

    Either jagielka for a 5m def or downgrade ozil to a 8m mid but not sure who?!

    Comments appreciated.

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

      I'd downgrade Jags
      Mane a decent option at 8M

    2. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I would not have silva and sterling..downgrade one, possibly silva?

  16. palace ash
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Max Gradel 6.0 mid Oop.

    Anyone interested?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Nope.

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day

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

      Not unless he's got pens or set-pieces off Ritchie

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Has that been announced? Or just a guess?

      1. palace ash
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Played as a striker lady season and on free kicks off which he scored loads.

        Classed as a mid in fpl.

        1. palace ash
          • 16 Years

          *last season

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          So have FPL announced his price as £6m? Or are you guessing?

          1. Every Dog Has Its Day
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 6 months ago

            It's announced

        1. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Agree. Things always happen around him. Not sure about from the start tho as he's OT just rocked up to the club so not sure I see him stating gw1

    5. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Just posted five mins higher up about him!

      I'm gonna let him get settled, keep an eye on him and look to use him for the nice fixtures starting gw4 if all goes well

    6. Jazz!
      • 11 Years

    RMT Please.

    Stekelenburg / Schmeichel

    Cedric / Francis / Jag / Azpi / Mert

    Hazard / Hendo / Ozil / Ritchie / Depay

    Rooney / Sahko / Wilson

    Thanks

    1. eish
      • 11 Years

      looks great playing a 442!

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

      First one I've seen who also has Stekelenburg :-).
      Looks good.
      Personally I'd turn Ritchie//Wilson into 1 better player and 1 filler.
      Not sure about Jag with their start...

      1. Catley94
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah well i was going to put fonte in but thought Stekelenburg will get more points and is a cheap gk option. Saints have a great starting fixtures for clean sheets. As for wilson/ritchie, would you suggest a stronger striker or midfielder?

    3. eish
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      but id downgrade ritchie and upgrade sakho to tekkers or someone if possible

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

        This but upgrade Wilson

      2. Catley94
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Sahko is going to be west ham's main striker for the first few GW's I feel, and has done well pre season so far. Cant think of any good strikers for 7 mill or so to replace wilson

    Really interested in both WBA and SUN defenders, anyone know either (or both) of their back 4?

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

      WBA have tough start, I'd go Chester
      Sun no idea on CB's, Van Aanholt looks safest

  21. Yome
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Van Persie not even on the bench tonight for the return leg against Shaktar

    1. The Nuttmxn

      RIP for RVP.

  22. Chris P Bacon
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Finally a new season! After som tinkering these last days I am almost happy. Any suggestions?

    Boruc Schmeichel
    O'Shea Bassong Azpi Mert Taggert
    Hazard Wally Ritchie Mane Sinclair
    Rooney Benteke Pelle

    Thinking Schmeichel --> Pantilmon but then I have to get rid of O'Shea.
    Also thinking of downgrading Sinclair to 4.5 mid.

  23. KeepCalm
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    So after that goal, im guessing Chadli will be nailed and bandwagon time?

  24. Josh736
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Would anyone be kind enough to have a look at my team please?

    Schmeichel (McCarthy)
    Targett Mbemba Clyne (Alderwerield) (Ward)
    Walcott Hazard Depay Sterling (Ibe)
    Wilson Rooney Benteke

  25. Carcaju
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    My front 8 are

    Walcott / Hazard / Sterling / Depay / Wanyama

    Rooney / Berahino / Pellé or Benteke

    Should I trade one of the midfielders for a cheaper one and get a better forward than Berahino? If yes, which one should I get rid off?

    From the 4.5M, who's the most likely Sunderland defender to play?

  26. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Any criticism for this 352 team?

    Ruddy / Mignolet
    Azpi Kosc Francis Prodl Coates
    Milner Sterling Hazard (C) Chadli Ozil
    Rooney Sakho Hooper

    0.5M ITB

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You need better 2nd striker imo. Tekkers or Pelle imo.

    2. Catley94
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Being a Norwich fan, not sure how much game time hooper is going to get. If you just want him there for the price then thats fine but even as a potential substitute I doubt he will make many appearances, to start anyways. Had a couple of brief spells pre season but nothing special to show he will be our regular striker

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

        Thanks guys!

    3. palace ash

      Hooper -> Jerome

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

    Is it daft to start Wilson for the near future?

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      What's daft about it? Bournemouth were the most attacking in their league and start off with really good fixtures

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

    A or B?

    A. Jenkinson, Pudil, Sakho

    B. Clyne, Morgan, C. Wilson

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Pudil = Prödl?

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

        Pudil the 4.0m option

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years

            Watford. Don't know. He was just a 4.0m filler.
            Those changes give me this

            Schmichael

            Azpi, Bellerin, Clyne

            Hazard, Cazorla, Chadli, Mahrez

            Aguero, Benteke, Wilson

            Butland, Ki, Morgan, Francis

            Is it worth going Mignolet + a 4.0m keeper or keep the combo I have?

        Pudil is a 4.0 Def.
