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.
Let us talk about Yaya Toure...

I don't really have any clue about fantasy football, but I did it for a few weeks last year. Anyway made this team with help from someone, so any help would be good!
Krul - Myhill
Debuchy - Wisdom - Luis - Shaw - Ward
Lamela - Mata - Ramsey - Arnotovic - Puncheon
Rooney - Costa - BojanOpen Controls
I'd scrap Wisdom as he isn't guaranteed starting player.
Attack looks good although not sure about Arnautovic as he's looking poor in pre-season.
Maybe the following would be better...
Sigurdsson. Mata. Hazard. Marney. (Young for UTD has had a great pre-season but bit of a punt)Open ControlsHi thanks, who's Marney play for?
And ok, I'll look for someone to change WisdomOpen Controls
Woodward has supposedly set off to Cardiff to wrap up a deal on Di Maria. Thoughts?
Open ControlsThen I'll need to rejig my team!
Open ControlsLVG could face the same sweet worries as well. Di Maria is a winger, right? Surely he can't play RWB, I smell a change of formation and tactics if the deal goes through.
Open ControlsWhich makes Young AND Januzaj both invigorating prospects and a proper bargain at their FPL price.
Open Controls
How did Ashley Young play today?
Open Controls
who is the most likely to play 4.0 defender?
Open Controls
Ive gone with Hutton
Open ControlsIn terms of nailed-on-ness I'd go Moore or Hutton
Open Controls
Open Controls
A Hazard Ramsey Dzeko
B Sterling Carzola Costa
which is better?Open ControlsWilson played most minutes pre-season so may be ok for GW1 but after that who knows
Open Controls
So do you guys reckon Kelly would be nailed on or just back-up ?
Open Controls
Debuchy or Lovren?
Open Controls
lovren
Open ControlsWell Liverpool are shit defensivly but Arsenal are without both their 1st choice defensive pairing so can neither work ?
Open Controls
Impossible to gauge how Liverpool will be defensively this season, certainly unwise to use last season as a measure methinks.
Open Controls
i have both, but if i had to choose just 1, then Debuchy, purely because of fixtures.
Open Controls
mata(C)
Open Controls
Quick bit of help.
1) Eriksen or Sterling??
2) Best cheap defender??
ThanksOpen Controls
Anyone here doing the Sun dream team? What does your team look like?
Open Controls
Jelavic or Steven Fletcher?
Shane Long is no longer with Hull.Open Controls
The whole thing about the GW1 draft is thinking (a) let's score some points and (b) let's not have a total shit heap to cleatlr up by GW4 wildcard.
Open Controls
Hazard or Fabregas from the start is making my head spin. It would be easier to downgrade from Haz
But his pre-season form and WC has not been inspiring - He's a lock for around the 200 point mark but if he get's off to a slow start then you could be playing catch up
So the question is:
Haz - Rambo - 8M - Henderson/Siggy - 4.5
or
Fab - Rambo - Mata - Henderson/Siggy - 4.5Open ControlsB.
I think Fabergé hits the ground running then everyone says shit he plays Leicester next week and you've got yourself a rise out of him to buy Hazard.
Did Hazards value not drop a bit last season when he bombed the DGW?Open Controls
I think b
Open ControlsCheers lads, hopefully Fabregas will shine - I think Hazard may have dropped, I just keep thinking about his start the season before last
Open Controls
I like the Fab/Mata combo as well. United's fixtures are just so cake, there will surely be a lot of points for Mata.
Open ControlsAgree that Mata should pick up the points in the hole with those fixtures, would be concerned about going without him too
Open Controls
I'll ask this now it's calm down a bit. Which would you prefer from A or B?
A). Henderson, Fabregas, Mata
Or
B). Young, Hazard, SterlingOpen Controls
Is anyone else got Tadic on here or is it just me?
Open ControlsJust you. Can wait one week as opening fixture isn't great for him anyway.
Open ControlsIve just put him back in today
With the arrival of Long im hoping he will get some decent assist returns if Pelle turns out to be a donkeyOpen ControlsI've been thinking about him. I can kind of sell him to myself as "Lallana: maybe with penalties!" But I'm starting with Silva/Ramsey/Eriksen/Mata, so surely one of them will flop/get injured and it will be easy to swap later...
Open Controls
I think I'm almost there..just one little problem left:
A) Chambers,Cahill and Long( if Sout)
or
B) Debuchy,Luis and Bojan
thanksOpen Controls
Anyone know where Wakey's been? Is he on hols? I always get so many new ideas from his little musings on here....sorely being missed right now.
Open Controls
Stuck on Eriksen vs. Sterling.
I realize Sterling may be poor in GW 2/3, but I'm afraid of a bandwagon/price rise if he scores well in first week. Could be required GW4+. And its not like Spurs have amazing fixtures over that interval.Open ControlsGood point
Open Controls
Couthino
Open ControlsHaha - been burned there before. I realize it is irrational but I need confirmation before I got there.
Open Controls
I personally like Eriksen. It feels like he's been underpriced by a million to me. I guess Lamela could push him out wide and he could be less effective but he was really really productive last year. Sterling certainly has the talent to do the darned thing though...
Open ControlsThanks...I'll think it over more.
Open Controls
Just got back from the Chelsea, match......10 minutes of it were great!
Open Controls
Hazard or Costa?
Open ControlsCosta for sure, IMHO Hazard is a great pick, and will do very well.
I expect Costa to be in the middle of everything, he is the answer to Cheslea.
Chelsea for the Title, Costa for the Golden bootOpen Controls
What about the 80?
Open Controlsmix of players, not much going on. but in the first 10 minutes Costa scored twice, and looked fully on his game.
Open Controls
Schurrle looked great, absolutely fantastic if u ask me, he took a lot of free kicks and corners, I cant believe that he wont start games, but thats what everyone says.....
Open Controls
if you could list your top 3 5M, 4.5M, 4M defenders i will be very happy (;
Open ControlsWhats Shelvey like? Does anyone have him?
Open Controls
Is Wisdom the best of the 4m defenders?
Open Controls3 man def
terry lovren caulkerOpen Controls
simple yet important question..
