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.
Am I doing something wrong if I do not have a single City player? Really don't see who I should drop out of this midfield/attack:
Ramsey - Eriksen - Siggy - Sterling - Marney
Costa - Rooney - Sturridge
Could possibly drop one of the strikers and use Dzeko but wouldn't be comfortable leaving one of those out.Open ControlsLooks good. If you really want city could swap Ramsey for silva
Open ControlsI have the same strikers and Ramsey, Eriksen, Silva and Hendo midfield.
So maybe Sterling to Silva?Open ControlsFor City, anything other than Yaya, Silva, Aguero are punts.
Open ControlsI know players get points and not teams but City will finish top 2 so anyone ignoring their attacking players is brave.

Ok guys one question why is rooney prefered by mainly everyone over RVP?
Open ControlsRvp isn't starting the season.
Open Controlssurely you already know this.
Open ControlsFit.
Sexy Form.
Captain.
Playing as striker.
On left sided corners, direct FKs and spot kicks for now.
2 million cheaper than RVP.
Nailed on 100%.
Allows improvements elsewhere in the squad.
van Gaal has basically elevated him to God status.Open ControlsRooney also bee announced as United captain too.

Whats the status on folks picking United defenders/GK?
People be like...F**k that? ..or People be like...Let's just Phil Jones in?Open ControlsDdg been there for a while now.
The rest.... meh.Open Controls
Who is the best midfielder for 4.5m?
Open ControlsApparently Shane Long is heading to Southampton.. would make him a much more viable option, no?
Also, when does Mangala get added and what would his price be? 5.5/6.0?Open ControlsDespite the fact that half the team have been sold, and theyre facing lpool gw1, are there anyone here getting in any soton players?
Made room for tadic in my team, but also checking out Forster for their kindly fixtures.
Anyone else who should be on the radar, or potentially bargains?Open ControlsWhat are people's thought on Henderson? I'm defo taking a chance on him, but people are still preferring Siggy?
My plan is a straight swap to Siggy after GW 1 anyway, but anyone big enough on Henderson to keep over Siggy?Open ControlsDoes it look like Steven Taylor will be starting for Newcastle?
Open ControlsA. Hazard siggy Ramsey sterling
B. hazard Henderson Ramsey silvaOpen ControlsA
Open Controls
Where does Jordon Mutch play? Is he likely to start GW1 and what are people's thoughts on him?
I'm considering him as my final midfielder starter.Open ControlsYou know nothing about him but are considering him as your last mid?
Open ControlsHe's rated highly on here, I know he was decent for Cardiff City last season but want to get more information before I make my decision. Is he worth a punt?
Open Controls
Qpr, yes , too dear for a 5th mid, too cheap for a 4th.
Open Controls
How good are bookie odds to pick player? Like least condeded goals odds? Southampton are rated quite high.
Open ControlsBookies make money.
Open Controls
Best 4.5 defender except for kelly
Open ControlsEvening Gents
Anyone think Tadic looks a better prospect now he will be feeding Long and Pelle?Open ControlsFinally got home from the United game.
Even though I imagine a fair few of you watched it on TV, I thought I would share my thoughts:
De Gea was rarely seemed challenged and I thought United's defence did very well against Valencia, Jones did very well. As soon as Valencia won the free kick that led to the goal, I knew a goal was imminent, very poor defending from set pieces.
Rooney was a concern for me, after the goal from Valencia he dropped deep, when he was attacking he played through the left. He missed clear chances and made the wrong decision on when to pass and when to shoot.
James, however, now there is somebody for the watchlist.Open ControlsDidn't think James had a great match personally!
Did you boo Fellaini?Open ControlsFellaini changed the game when he came on, he did not warrant the boo's he was recieving from fans.
Open Controls
Left early to catch a train and missed Fellon's goal :'(
Open ControlsI left with two minutes to go, also missed it.
Open Controls
Seeing Gardner on the fpl home screen made me think he could start right back for WBA rather than wisdom
Open ControlsHes been playing amc in preseason.
Open Controls
I've seen teams with 7 heavy hitters in mid n art, people we all need def
Open ControlsWould be great to get some feedback on:
Costa + Eriksen (and Albrighton)
Or
Jovetic + Fabregas (and Hendo)
Bearing in mind, I have no city cover if not for Jovetic...
Thanks in advance!!!Open ControlsGood luck to anyone getting their LC results tomorrow!
Open ControlsDzeko and 4.5 mid
Or
Fletcher and Erikson/SterlingOpen ControlsIs Wisdom likely to be a regular for WBA?
Open ControlsJeez, I can't take this.
Off to bedOpen Controlsim outta here too, stroll on Saturday.
Open Controls
Last dilemma, I'm doing sun dream team. Transfer window 1 is after premiership game three. Arsenal's two euro matches count towards dream team. So I have Sanchez in because Arsenal have two extra matches before tw1. But Costa scored two tonight can I leave him out?
SANCHEZ or COSTA???
Cheers guys.Open ControlsSUAREZ
Open Controls
best mids for 5.0?
Ben Davies tocked on?Open ControlsMuller

I was looking for a quick replacement for my man utd defender, who I am already losing patience with, and stumbled across manquillo. 0.4% ownership. What's wrong with him? Too much competition from Johnson?
Open ControlsHe's .4 because he just joined and many casuals won't know who he is. Get Lovren anyway
Open ControlsBecause lovren will get more points or because manquillo isn't nailed on? Just tempted because full backs are supposedly more likely to get bonus points for attacking this year...
Open Controls
No City - Check
No Pool attack - Check
Scared? Only about liverpoolOpen ControlsBiggest price riser after week 1, who do you think it will be?
I predict Sigurdsson or Filipe Luis.Open Controlslet me guess, you have both? 😆
Open Controls
So, chelsea GW1 defence, how sure are we Cahill and Terry will start at CB?
