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

    Ok last bit of tinkering needed and its come down to:

    Jovetic and 4.5 mid (probably Wanyama)
    or
    Bojan and Eriksen

    I have Siggy who rotates with Bojan pretty much each week, or would have to play Siggy every week but have Jovetic instead of Bojan

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Both strikers are risky as not nailed (Jovetic not when Aguero comes back)

      Isla could be rotated with Simpson, Caulker is a threat at set pieces so I'd say him

      Jovetic early on because Soldado has a chance of being Pochettino's first choice striker.

      Caulker because he is Caulker and Isla isn't Caulker, simple.

    Are people slightly over confident about United defense? Evans maybe injured again... LVG struggling to buy CBs after Vermaelen fail... I think I will start with Roo and Mata and see what happens in the back

      If Evans is injured I'll just get Jones or Smalling until we sign Rojo and he is added

        Also United will play a total different formation this season, it may take time to settle. Fixtures are great but they could still be leaking goals

    Can Young potentially be shifted to the right thus nailing down the RM spot ?

    To continue discussion from previous page:

    Pellegrini obviously rates Demichelis but they didn't spend a ton to replace Kompany, so how much time will Mangala share with him?

    Nastasic doesn't seem to be favoured and wasn't great in the Arsenal game which probably doesn't help his chances either. I can see cup games being nasty and Demi and the league pairing being Mang and Komp but how soon will that partnership take to start up?

    If you had £6.0m for a defender right now, who would you spend it on. (Got £5.5m UTD defender and Ward as other starters)

      Mangala and Kompany first choice pair. Nastasic and Demi backup.

      Mangala will start as soon as he regains fitness.
