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.
Any defenders at 4.0 nailed on to start?

Anything of note happen in the friendlies today? Who picked up the assists?
Open Controls
Is Bartley nailed for 1st 3 gameweeks???
Open Controls
no
Open Controls
Filipe Luis, surely he starts GW1.
Looked class today in the second half. Nice combination play with Hazard down the left, can see a few goals and assists from him.Open Controls
Not so cynical now...
Open Controls
I'll eat my shoes if he doesnt start
Open Controls
Chelsea fan. New member.
Would love Luis to start as his overlap will enable Hazard more space. Hazard found himself double/triple teamed last year as Dave wouldn't overlap/he cannot cross with his left foot!
That being said, I was intrigued by the comments from the Chelsea TV analysts tonight. They think Azpili and Dave will start and Luis will be introduced with a few cameo appearances... Strange.
Because of that, I've opted for Terry.Open Controls
a) Courtois Luis Fabregas (means I have Studge and Roonpig)
b) Luis Fabregas Costa (No Rooney)Open ControlsPVA or Yoshida?
Have Terry, Caulker, bruce, duffOpen Controls
Rooney captain, what could go wrong?

Ultimate Fantasy Premier League Keeper Options
Ideally you want one keeper who plays Saturday, one who plays Sunday, and if there is a Monday game, one for that night too, however planning for Monday games is near impossible, and giving yourself a good selection over the weekend seems the best way to maximize the chance of getting the clean sheet.
A look at some 3 keeper options
Man Utd, Newcastle, Sunderland (DDG, Krul, Mannone) (14.5)
Gives you 2 options a weekend, except weeks 3, 12 and 13, but gives an easy home fixture in all 3 cases. The second option in a gameweek is usually David De Gea, useful for UFPL as you want your punts to play and have strong backups to come in on Sunday (More on this on the Mid and Fwd articles)
DDG – Fantastic shot stopper who is the cheapest nailed on option in the United defense, strong opening fixtures should mean he cleans up the clean sheets points.
Krul – Solid option at a decent Newcastle team, any fears over clean sheet potential should be alleviated by his save points, you wont need to play him much anyway
Mannone – A hero from the season gone by, no BPS in the UFPL game means he wont be in for many 11 point hauls but should garner plenty of save points in a surprisingly resilient Sunderland side.
Man Utd, Spurs, Newcastle (DDG, LLoris, Krul) (15.5)
Gives you at least 2 options EVERY weekend up until week 15. Sightly more expensive but the option i would recommend.
LLoris – one of the league best keepers, in what many are expecting to be a strong spurs defense under Poch
Man Utd, Spurs, Mignolet (DDG, LLoris, Mignolet) (16.5)
Gives you 2 options a week except weeks 11 and 5. Even more expensive but Gives you 3 keepers from top 6 Team teams, all of which are nailed on every single match.
Mignolet – Pool should be more solid this year with Lovren and other defensive additions, although not sure Mignolet is worth the 5.5 tag.
I reckon option 2 is the best choice for the coming season, you can see a bit more detail here http://ultimatefpl.wordpress.com/2014/08/12/ultimate-fpl-goalkeepers/

It's amazing Barkley's ownership level when you will hardly see him in a RMT on here.
Are we guilty of too much groupthink and not enough original ideas?Open ControlsYes. That's why I've got rivière. 😉
Open ControlsNot sure, what do you think?
Open Controls
In this case, no. I didn't want Barkley last season at 5.5m. What has changed?
Open ControlsThis. Was a disappointing headache even at a low price. I'm sure he'll score a few more but no reason to invest in him at 7m yet, especially with poor fixtures.
Open Controls
Rumours of Zaha to Palace - 5.5m - any takers if it happens?
Open Controls
Not if his stint at Cardiff is anything to go by.
Open Controls
So what is this rojo bloke like?
Open Controls
Attacking. Very attacking.
Open ControlsReally? Cool.
I'm a united fan so hope it works.Open Controls
Only when he plays LWB. He normally plays CB for his club though.
Open Controls
An aggressive defender in every sense of the word. Gets forward plenty from either centre back or left back, a threat from corners, and a serious card magnet.
Open ControlsWell he will almost cirtainly play cb then?
Especially if blind is signed tooOpen Controls
Hadn't heard of him before the World Cup, but he looked strong for Argentina, very attacking.
Open Controls
Was fantasy gold at the WC.
Open Controls
Mata or Fabregas chaps? 🙂
Open ControlsFab
Open ControlsI liked him at WC anyway
Open Controls
good question!
*flips coin*Open ControlsWhich side did it land on?
Open Controls
Fab
Open ControlsThe consesus seems to be Fab, then! Might just stick with Fab, and monitor it! 🙂
Open Controls
Mata will have a great season I reckon, I'd say Mata
Open Controls
Tadic or Wilshere?
Open ControlsTadic
Open Controls
Haven't asked for any advice today so which would you prefer out of these two?
A) Young, Sterling, Hazard
B) Hendo, Mata, Fab
Cheers guys.Open Controls
B

Premium Players: I am sure most of you are also struggling to find the right balance for your team. How do we fit in Yaya, Hazard, Sturridge and a Man Utd striker? Is RVP going to fire on all cylinders under Van Gaal? Or is Rooney a better option at 2m less? Thought id try to create a little discussion on everyone's thoughts...
Open ControlsI think most people have decided Yaya isn't worth it. Hazard isn't worth it to start the season, over the likes of Costa or Fabregas. Rooney is much more popular than RvP. Sturridge becoming more popular but Costa's brace today will divide opinions.
Open Controls
im pretty set on my premium players(8+)
Mata Eriksen Ramsey Sterling
Rooney Sturridge
Doubt i'l change it much before deadlineOpen Controls
No chelsea is very brave considering their opening two games
Open Controls
Is Baird not nailed on any more?
Open Controls
He never was, but he was and still is decent punt
Open Controls

Open ControlsWilshere or Tadic?
Open Controlswho else for that budget?
Open Controls
Which 2 are essential:
A) studge
B) costa
C) RooneyOpen Controls
Repost
Little advice please, lads. Now that Kelly is in for Palace I'm not so sure about my team. I suppose I could replace Mariappa with Kelly as I'd be benching him the first week anyway. But with Costa firing again I'm thinking of a top heavy team as well...
A or B
Bego Myhill
Baines Chester Kelly Wisdom Hutton
