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

    1. Kane & Milner

    2. Benteke & Mane

    Got to be Harry Kane, surely...

        Definitely! Sounds great 🙂

      2. May wanna save up another mil by getting Chadderz in there instead of Mane? 🙂

        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Interesting. I honestly think he'll do very well though. The manner in which he took those 21 goals showed extraordinary talent, not luck. He petered out toward the end due to fatigue imo.

      A.

    Any thoughts on my final team? I'm wildcarding WC 4 and double Saints defense is my punt.

    Stekelenburg Hennessey
    Mert Cedric Huth Coates Saylor
    Haz Walcott Sterling Mane Bentaleb
    Rooney Benteke Sakho

  3. Skruffy
    • 11 Years

    Who is the best forward under 6.5 for the whole season?

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

      sakho imo, berahino maybe but we gotta see how he does

  4. 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!

  5. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Bellerin has competition from Debuchy right?

    1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, but he seems to have nailed down a starting place.

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Surprised to see that the TOT game is on ESPN2

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

        by the way I think its his spot to lose

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not really imo.

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

    Anyone else just copying GBs team to save themselves the hassle?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      highly considering

    2. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Is he any good at this, anyway?

    3. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Don't people usually copy Triggerlips?

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

        He said he won't share his team/ transfers until after GW1 😉

        1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Hehe. Usually posts a fake RMT right?

          Interested in the below Aqua?

    4. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Has he posted his current squad recently?

  7. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    God dammit, choosing between chadli and milner just gets tougher and tougher 🙁

    1. Loser@FPL
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez or Ritchie ? 🙁

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Ritchie

    2. Theatre_Of_Screams
      • 11 Years

      Hahahaha innit

  8. Adro3
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Am I crazy going without no Arsenal midfield? Hazard Sterling Milner Mane (Wanyama)

    (Have a feeling Sterling will score)

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, but Walcott will score a hattrick

      1. Adro3
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Not confident of Walcott, have to go with my gut!

  9. Theatre_Of_Screams
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    (A) Mane

    (B) Chadli + 1m for elsewhere

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Still think A

  10. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Still not happy about my defence

    xxx xxx
    Azpilicueta xxx Cedric Huth 4.0

    Here are some good options, which one should I pick?

    A) Panti Butland Williams
    B) Cech Hennesey Williams
    C) Fabianski Butland PVA

    1. sargonthelegend
      • 11 Years

    Thoughts this is for skys ff as i want to take my mates ££££££

    pantilimon

    depay hazard gardner ozil wijnaldum

    rooney lukaku

    1. sargonthelegend
      • 11 Years

      maybe add strength to Defence. Look at mine below

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

    RMT, or any suggestions? I think i'm set.

    Cech
    Koscielny - Azpilicueta - Cedric
    Özil - Sinclair - Sterling - Hazard
    Wilson - benteke - Rooney

    Hennessey - Wanyama - S Taylor - Baker

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

      Also, have 2.5 in the bank. Using that to either get rid of Rooney or Ozil to Sanchez or Aguero.

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

        Use that to upgrade Sinclair. Huge weakness there.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about playing Sinclair every week, rest looks good

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

    hmm

    Cedric to Gomez frees up the 0,5 I need for Kos

    But it means playing Huth at home to Spurs GW3

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't get Gomez

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

        trying to find 0,5 to get Kos in

        1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Wilson man!! Gives you a rotating keeper/Panti as well!

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

            can't look past Sakho mate

            think I just need to forget Kos

            1. Jaffalicious! #SomosCubanos
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              🙁 Downgrade Rooney or Cedric then.

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

          Just get Bellerin

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

        😀

  14. stuporman
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    RMT please?

    Schmeichel (Butland)
    Yoshida - Clyne - Coates (Huth - Ryan Bennet)
    Depay - Hazard - Sterling - Wanyama - Walcott
    Rooney - Benteke (Sakho)

    or

    Ruddy (Butland)
    Cedric - Clyne - Coates (Huth - Ryan Bennett)
    Depay - Fabregad - Sterling - Mane - Ozil
    Rooney - Benteke (Wilson)

  15. Budweiser
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on my new team name? Cecil's Mané

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      good one

  16. thepuntmaster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    So here's my latest draft...

    Stekelburg (Elliot) - Stekelenburg is only temporary, will get Forster in when he returns.

    Azpi - Bellerin - Richards - Poccognoli (Saylor) - Always play Azpi and Bellerin and then rotate villa and west brom.

    Haz - Walcott - Fab - Sterling (Stanislas) - heavy hitting

    Roonpig - Lukaku - Jerome - Jerome is my little punt, ignore that...

    Thoughts?

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

      I guess you're banking on Fabregas finding his form early like last season. Are you tempted to swap out Jerome?

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

      Lukaku(c) ?

  17. Mitos77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    i have monreal,is it bellerin safer option,
    Pelle,Benteke,ROONEY if you have to choose 2 from them,is Cazorla better pick for season than Walcott

  18. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    How does this look?

    Schmeichel Schwarzer
    Mertesacker Ward Cedric Francis Coates
    Hazard Mane Sterling Cazorla Bentaleb
    Rooney Sakho _______

    8.5 left for a striker

    A) Pelle
    B) Benteke
    C) Lukaku

    1. LC1
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. zon
      • 11 Years

      B

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

      I'd go with Benteke so that you're not doubling up on Southampton straight away. However, Pellé is still a good choice. I had Lukaku earlier but he's never done it for me in the past.

  19. stiflersmom
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    azp & ozil

    or

    walcott and a 5.5m defender possible Mertasaker?

    other four defenders are

    cedric, francis, huth and targett

    Really really dot know what to do. Plz help!!

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Go with walcott- -at least till Sanchez is back

    2. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi and Ozil for me.

  20. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Worried that Chadli is playing today for Spurs. Should I be?

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

      Depends on how he does and if he is brought off around 60-70 minutes.

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

      Yes.

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

      Not sure why Spurs are playing two games in a row leading up to their season opener

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

        cos they haven't played many games

    4. Doogle__
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He has scored today

    5. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No because Pochettino will not play without Chadli against United.

  21. jimboggles
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Choosing Arsenal midfielders is tough right now. Hopefully, will become easier in time.

    Please RMT:

    Schmeichel (Schwarzer)

    Francis Ivanovic Mertesacker (Richards Bassong)

    Walcott Mané Hazard (c) Ritchie (Sinclair)

    Rooney Benteke Diouf

    Benteke + Mané could become Sterling + Pellé. What do you think?

    1. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like Richards or Diouf. Would do Diouf-->Sakho and then Richards-->Coates

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

        Thanks for the feedback!

  23. JimmyB
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Best midfielder under 9m?

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      prob ozil

      But I have Walcott already

      Wondering weather to go for depay or mane

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

        Cheers, but I've got no city coverage or Spurs

  24. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A. Ivanovic and Oscar

    B. Williams and Sterling

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

    Are people confident Walcott will definitely start? I'm getting nervous and really thinking about just changing him for Cazorla as i already have Ozil.

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

      I don't think he will.

    2. Budweiser
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I have Cazorla and Ozil. Playing it safe the first week.

    3. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He'll start but he won't play more than 70 minutes and who knows if he'll start GW2.

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

        think ill just swap to Cazorla, play it safe. The most soul destroying thing is tweaking your team for 3 weeks just for sky sports to announce the teams and you be majorly disappointed

  26. Budweiser
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is Schlupp nailed on?

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

      Huth a better option regardless

  27. Return Of Chamakh
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Crikey I'm having a last minute wobble, how does this look please:

    Pants
    Cedric - Azpi - Mert
    Wally - Hazard - Mata - Milner - Chadli
    Rooney - Benteke

    (Henessey, Targett, Bennett) - don't worry I know this is stupidly risky haha

    What do you reckon?

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

      I like the team overall but for the first GM but maybe not enough coverage (man u, liverpool, chelsea...)

      1. Return Of Chamakh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers - I'm not really bothered about coverage to be honest, I quite like the eggs-in-one-basket approach as long as it's stuck with for long enough haha 😀 Although I am slightly worried about not City players I'll admit!

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

      Is Mata nailed on? What about Chadli?

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

        Chadli will start

      2. Return Of Chamakh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I think Mata will start yeah - the way LVG talks about him and the positions he can fill. Chadli should be after last season I would have thought too

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

      Panti>4.5
      Bennett>Huth

      Better squad that way
      I prefer Tadic to Chadli as well given Soton's nice fixtures.
      Good team otherwise.

      1. Return Of Chamakh
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Cool cheers for the advice!

  28. gtf
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    How's this look for GW1?

    Ruddy
    Ivanovic Cedrik Huth
    Hazard Walcott Mane Payet
    Rooney(c) kane Jerome

    Hennessey Sinclair Lescott Oxford

  29. zidanesque
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Gentlemen,

    Could some of you rate my team please?

    Butland, Ruddy

    Azpi, Bellerin, Cedric, Bassong, Jones (sun)

    Hazard, Mane, Milner, Walcott, Sinclair

    Pelle, Rooney, Ulloa

    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers

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

      8/10. Ulloa possible rotation risk.

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

    Ok, I'm sure it's been asked 45,000 times but what's the best 4.5, 4.5 and 4.0 combo at the back!?

    Huth, Richards and Coates are who I have at the minute

    I hear Frances might be played in midfield so he is probably worth a shout out.

    but yeah, is there a set 3 cheapies to go for?
