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

    thought on this team pls on how you'd improve this team?

    Panti / (Henessey)
    Azpi / Cedric / Huth (Francis / Martin)
    Haz / Ozil / Sterling / Hendo / Ritchie
    Rooney / Sakho / (Deeney)

    2m itb

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Use the 2m ITB

    2. Doctor X
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      You need more captainable players in that team. there's just Hazard and Rooney. You have 2 million, use it.

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

      I've got the same goalies, 3 of the same defenders, 3 matching mids & Deeney up front, replacing Azpi with Mert, Collins for Martin (I need some advice from Doos or another Irons stato on that one), Mata for Ozil, Sinclair for Hendo, Aguero for Rooney (but will have Rooney if Aggy doesn't make it) & Tekkers for Sakho (but had Sakho before Tekkers scored at weekend) 🙂

    Panti Ruddy
    Azpi Kosc Cedric Huth Francis
    Hazard(c) Walcott Mane Ritchie Wanyama
    Rooney Lukaku Wilson

    Thoughts? 1.5 itb to upgrade Lukaku to Benteke and Wilson to Sakho on GW2

    Sorry for repost got lost on page

    In scale of 1-10 how stupid is to ignore Sterling from the start?

    Those who don't have him whats the reasoning behind it?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Stupid as much as is being legally high

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO

      Far better options at similar or lesser price.

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

      Don't like the fixtures until GW4.

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

        City score goals vs everybody though

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

          Not entirely true.

    4. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      happy to wait till gw4.

    5. Beautiful Game
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      My thinking is city struggle with end product when Aguero doesn't play... And when he does I'll get him instead

      1. 4vets
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        +1... but I already have him.

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

      It's not stupid. There are only so many players you can have at that price range. City don't have the easiest start fixture wise although of course he has the ability to score well.

      I have judged that there are other options any ways of spending that money that I think will produce more points

    7. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He'll be a great option this year, but his greatness won't shine through with those first 3 fixtures yet.

  4. Mick
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Anybody else completely stumped as to whether to go for a slightly more rotation friendly team or not?

    How does everyone feel about rotating:

    GK's

    DF's

    MF's

    FW's

    ??

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'm rotation two pairs of defenders and the goalkeepers.

      Currently on

      Casper/Butland
      Francis/Prodl
      Toby/Martin

  5. Bobmarley121
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Chadli or Henderson

  6. Beautiful Game
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    What's the latest news or consensus about Costa??

    1. Davido989

      good place to relax and have a coffee

    3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…

      Even if he plays he won't be right. Look elsewhere for now

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

    I was on Huth but now it looks like Morgan is nailed to start. What is everyone else doing please?

    1. inter the wild
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Morgan

    2. Huddersfield

    0.5 in the bank. 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

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

    Ruddy, Rudd.
    Cédric, WHM, Francis, Huth, Coates.
    Hazard, Walcott, Depay, Mané, 4.5m.
    Rooney, Lukaku, Wilson.

    £2.5m ITB, Lukaku & Wilson to Kane & Sakho GW2.

    Banking on a few big game weeks to make my likely GW4 WC worthwhile.

      2. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        They rotate well until GW4 😉

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          time for a new one 😉

    2. Davido989

      And when Aguero scores on monday?..

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

        Rooney > Aguero, money ready for it!

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

        He can wait till GW4.

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years

      Too many punts . I love this team 🙂

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

        That's the whole point 😉

        Go hard or go home.

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

      Why not start with Kane/Sakho and not take a hit?

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

        agreed

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Seconded

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

        Because Lukaku & Wilson will outscore Kane & Sakho by 4pts GW1.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Will Kane and Sakho do the same....???

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

            Come GW2/3, yes.

            1. Eden Hazardous
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 6 months ago

              Hmmmm I think the risk outweighs the gains

    5. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Depay to Ozil and you are good to go

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

        No

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Just my imo

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

      The defense is ultimate template, everyone has been posting the exact same defense on here.

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

        It's only for 3 gameweeks though. Then jump on the bargains on a WC come GW4.

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

        It being 'template' does not make it bad

    7. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hits and an early WC being spunked planned...

      RIP your season.

    8. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Has a gw 4 wildcard written all over it 😀

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

      Any ideas on the WHU defender Parm I've just stuck Collins in as I only had 4.5 to spend & he's done well for me in the past but is he likely to be a regular?

  12. Mr.What?
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Ozil or Rambo?

    or should I double them up !!! 🙂

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

      I like Rambo. His output was more impressive than Ozil last season even though it dropped from the previous season. If he can avoid injuries I think he can be gold this year

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

    Best 7.0 midfielder to have as 4th mid?

    A Tadic
    B Lens
    C Hendo
    D Milner
    E Chadli

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

      I like the idea of D or E myself.

    2. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i am on tadic right now, but chadli or lens may sway me...

    3. Fozzyb34r
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      D

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

      E then A then B then D then C ^for me 😀

  14. Fozzyb34r
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Going off all these RMTs, everyone on here will be getting exactly the same points in GW1

    1. inter the wild
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      and we share 98% of our genes with apes, but put a human and a gorilla in a boxing ring. or a chess tournament.

      1. HERECOMETHEBELGIANS!
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Pretty sure the gorilla would simply rip the boxers arms off - and probably the chess players too!

  15. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    doing some forward planning with haz, aguero and sanchez... it really kills your team... so sad...

    1. Exeter Gently
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      yes and no. sanchez's points definitely make up for the replacement 6.0 mid that you drafted to get him in. but i agree it does look more imbalanced as a result.

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        ye true, its the same thing with haz... hopefully some good cheap options will present themselves...

    2. inter the wild
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      don't forward plan, you will only make a rod for your own back

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

    Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had a link to the Excel spreadsheet containing a season ticker and home/away rotations posted by a Leicester City fan whose name I can't remember? Thanks in advance

  17. Sergeant Garcia
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Who really believes Sinclair will stand up this season with AVL?

    1. Mr.What?
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      me !! also he is only 5.0m

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

      Not even Sherwood believes that

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

      Well if people are taking punts on Ritche...Sinclair is a fair punt in my eyes.

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

        Definatley. Probably less of a rotation risk now too and 1.0 to invest elsewhere.

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

        I'm double-pumped on both

  18. Mr.What?
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A. Ozil

    B. Ramsey

    C. Double them up (got Haz/Ritchie/Sinclair)

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      B

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

    Not brodcasting Spurs ACM here, anyone care to tell me if Chadli got subbed off? If he doesn't then surely be burned out for GW1 :/

    1. Fozzyb34r
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He hasn't been yet. It's HT at the moment

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

        Cheers

        1. Fozzyb34r
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          No worries, decent finish from him though.

  20. DrunkPhilosophy
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Would appreciate a quick RMT

    Ruddy / Butland
    Kos Cedric Huth Coates Saylor
    Hazard Mane Ozil Sterling Westwood
    Benteke Sakho Rooney

    I feel defence might be a bit light? and I really don't like Saylor in there, what do you guys think?

    1. inter the wild
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      sterling to milner

      coates to azpi

      ozil to walcott

  21. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Serious template emerging.

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

      But of course. Don't worry if you missed it, though. There will be another along soon.

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        😆

    2. Davido989

      it's getting quite boring

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

      Is there?

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

        Yeah big time

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

          I'd like to know what it is.

    4. Beautiful Game
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Will you be kind enough to post it so that I can copy 😉

    5. The Chosen One...
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Haz/Fab, Mane, Sterling/Silva, Mata/Depay, Chadli, Mahrez, Wally, Caz, Ramsey, Henderson/Milner, Lens, Payet

      Kun, Rooney, Benteke, Pelle, Wilson/Deeney/Defoe, Sakho, Lukaku, Costa, Kane, Giroud

      More than enough options if u are brave enough, it's the herd mentality causing the template imo

  22. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Walcott? Essential week one?

    I will feel sick if he goes off and I didn't get him in.

    Would you downgrade Cedric to a 4.5 ( will have four of them) to dump Ozil for Wally?

    Help Please!

    1. Fozzyb34r
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Have faith in Ozil

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

        Would keep Cedric but agree with you, Walcott is presenting a problem!

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

      Not essential, puts up good stats historically but so have the other Arsenal mids.

      I'd never dump Ozil, especially no to end up with 4 4.5 defenders.

    3. chrisdale98
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      both? Don't downgrade Cedric someone else

  23. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    To everyone who read my Walcott-Article before. I wasnt quite happy with the editing, as the historica analysis was cut out, which was mainly my reasoning for walcotts projected 30-50% exclusion. I've posted an initial Version velow in the comments section under the article now. I guess there are a lot of repititions but it should give an idea AS why I feel, we shouldnt have Walcott in our initial Teams. Thanks!

    Mert, Cedric, Huth, Francis, Coates

    are there any 4.5 defenders worth getting in for Cedric to turn Mert into Kos or just keep Mert?

      4 4.5 defenders doesn't sound like a great idea

        well you've seen my team champ would you just forget Kos?

        1. Bubz

          Kosc is definitely a better option, but I dont think it's worth downgrading Cedric to a 4.5 for. If you went for McHennessey however.. 😉

            such a risk in McHenessey though and the fixture aren't that good

              Yeah can't say I'm thrilled about it. Might stick with Ruddy combo. But I dont know if that will even be worth 0.5m more.

      Bassong would go nicely with those others, JK.

        BTW, what's with the name change? 🙂

          It was a response to something Megatron posted

          Got Ruddy and Rudd, not fancying Bassong as well

            Ah fair enough - that would be a bit much.

    Has anyone gone through a season without taking a single hit? If so, what was your rank?

      Simon March last season

      He did pretty crap though, had a rank of 1 I think

    2. Ludo

      Simon March managed to reach #1 with that strategy.
