Today’s Wembley showpiece between Chelsea and Arsenal affords Fantasy managers further opportunity to scout our options for the upcoming campaign, with the Premier League kick off now just six days away.

For the Blues, Diego Costa is sidelined due to “discomfort in his hamstring” once again. Loic Remy is handed the chance to lead the line in the Spain international’s absence, with loan signing Radamel Falcao on the bench. William and Ramires join Eden Hazard in the attacking midfield three behind Remy, with Jose Mourinho naming last season’s defensive regulars along with Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic in the double-pivot.

Theo Walcott gets the chance to lead the line for Arsenal, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain selected in the XI as Olivier Giroud is named amongst the subs. Arsene Wenger’s side are as expected, otherwise, with Hector Bellerin selected ahead of Mathieu Debuchy at right-back, whilst Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey join Oxlade-Chamberlain in the positions behind Walcott. Jack Wilshere misses out through injury for the Gunners.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    So Fab is playing a more advanced role? Is that correct?

    Two ARS questions based on CS:

    - Coquelin: at 4.5 could be a decent alternative to the Bentalebs and Wanyamas?

    - Wally's role: Giroud is on the bench, which is not likely to persist, so he comes back and Wenger moves Walcott to...where? Half-considering switching Wally to Ramsey/Ozil on that concern, but perhaps I'm being overly paranoid.

      Walcott in for Ox, or Caz/Ramsey when Sanchez is back.

      Would much rather waste a southampton/spurs slot than an arsenal one for my 5th midfielder.

        Which is why I currently have Bentaleb 🙂 Still, am not awfully likely to have three of anyone this season, so worth an ask. Coq isn't playing a role conducive to scoring goals, though, so perhaps that's all moot.

    Giroud on bench, worry...should I go for Kane instead who will get more gametime and just as good?

    I don't see Ozil playing on the left.

    For me he is playing a free role all over the attacking mid positions, either that or ignoring AW and doing want he wants?

    Lovely assist from Payet and well taken goal from Sakho.

    Then Adrian has a nightmare and let's a shot slip under him. 1-1.

    Would be great to see Wally come off at halftime and Giroud come on and score a brace. Mass havoc would break out in FPL.
