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 think Tekkers could go on to be a season keeper. He was priced to be at Villa and he will still be the main man at Pool and we know he can score 20 goals and may take pen responsibilities from Henderson. I can see Rodgers wanting a bit alpha dog striker taking on the goal burden in a very deliberate way.

          I have to say I'm a bit more dubious on Walcott. So much competition and I felt like Wenger didn't trust him last year. If anything the fact that he's signed a new contract is a negative for me because he can't leverage anything

      I would change chadli or lens to a 4.5 mid which will give you even more cash, then upgrade williams perhaps? Or you could put Pelle in for Sakho, or have Kane in your front 3

    Bacuna had a strong finish in last season, with a goal and 4 or 5 assists, and in pre season he played in the midlfield on the right side.

    Sinclair had a good pre season, with a few goals scored. They both cost 5mil.

      He's my preferred 4.5. Nailed on, and doesn't get many yellows. That puts him ahead of card magnets like Wanyama and Bentaleb straight away. Hasn't got much attacking potential, but his history suggests he'll probably get a couple of goals and a couple of assists over the season - I rate his chances of scoring as higher than Fletcher, anyway.

    Cedric > Targett

    Coates > PVA

    Caz > Walcott

    Worth the hassle of having a 4.0 defender for a few weeks?

    Benteke > Kane is another option
