This evening’s Members article takes a look over the action in Sunday’s Community Shield showdown between Arsenal and City. Having assessed Alexis Sanchez’ display our lunchtime Technical Area post, we delve into the data to discover for any hints of form ahead of the weekend Gameweek 1 deadline.

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

      I have to disagree. I am on Giroud as my Arsenal asset, slightly more appealing to me than Ramsey and cheaper. But I would have Sanchez were he costing £9m or even £9.5m. I have even made a case for his inclusion at £10.5m but it's just not a good option.

    Was getting inclined towards a United defender but the lineup tonight is a great reinder that United CBs are too injury prone and always in need of a rest.

    DDG firmly nailed on in my team now. Can't afford to see my United defender getting a breather vs QPR at home.

    Rojo could be a good FPL player if he goes to United.

    No reason he shouldn't be more than Evans, Jones and Smalling at 5.5 unless FPL apply a "shiny new signing" premium.
