The Numbers Game – Community Shield Match Analysis

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

    I must be the only who doesn't worry about Arsenal midfielder.

    It has been Wal(c)ott since day one.

    Just heard about the new rules that PL now can give players retrospective bans for up to 3 games for diving. Great news imo

      About time, if true. I'd like to see some evidence of this rule change, though. I doubt the EPL would do it without it being UEFA or world-wide.

    Was browsing on Jerome history in FPL and noticed he bagged 10 goals and 4 assists, while priced 4,7 in 2009/2010... Quite a catch back then...;)

        Ha! Heard someone say that Caz relies on pens for his points...true?

          Had him at the start last season but then removed him so cant judge really. Could be true. But Oz doesnt score a lot and Im worried of another blow for him, the main reason he scored low points last season.
