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.
Which of the £4.5m Crystal Palace defenders are nailed on? Need to free up 0.5m
Open Controls
Mariappa/Kelly...one of them should nail down the RB spot.
Open Controls
Not really nailed on then if you can't pick which one will nail down the RB spot.
Open Controls
Suitable replacements for Shaw and Mariappa? Both are doubtful for GW1 and their clubs have been linked with other players in their positions (Rojo, Martin Kelly).
Open Controls
How do I view defender rotations in the members section?
Open Controls
I believe it's by re-arranging the season ticker (fixtures) to compare when different teams have favourable fixtures in relation to others. However I'm not (yet) a member, and haven't been before, so don't quote me on it.
Open Controls
Ramsey
Open Controls
Any advice?
Krul | Elliot
Luis Ben Davies Debuchy Ward | Duff
Ram Fab Silva Mata | El Ahmadi
Rooney Costa | ZamoraOpen ControlsAre any of Hull's 4.5 defenders guaranteed starters? Chester?
Open Controls
Looks like Ill have to stump up an extra 0.5 for Cahill. Really wantes Luis though
Open ControlsLuis should play LB imo, but get one of Terry/Cahill if you can, just for extra security.
Open ControlsIm feeling the same way at the minute. Can always downgrade later right
Open Controls
I have both.
I'd probably prefer Cahil early
but long term LuisOpen ControlsYeah me too. Ill just stick with one though
Open Controls
Cahill or Terry are better picks and worth the 0.5 cost imo
Luis scored 0 goals and has 3 assists only last yearOpen Controls
Wes Morgan is my GW1 punt. 4.5, captain of Leicester, 3 preseason goals, 2 disallowed, one off the post. That's very nearly 5 or 6 goals from set pieces by a defender.
Can't find a more nailed 4.5 defender imo.Open ControlsCleansheet likelihood though?
Open ControlsIt wont be a fun first 6 weeks for you then
Open Controls
I'd rather cut my dick off than spend £4.5m on a Leicester defender.
Open Controls
Any of Southampton's 4.5 defenders guaranteed starters?
Open ControlsIs it worth downgrading Williams and Ward (to £4.5m players of the same team) to upgrade a £5.5m player (such as Mutch, Young, Shelvey) to Aranautovic?
Open ControlsArnie is love...
Arnie is life...
do what you must.Open ControlsWhy swap Mutch? Great value
Open Controls
arnie hasn't been playing that well, so i'd say no
Open ControlsIf your 5.5 player has to plah a lot then mybe yeah. Otherwise dont bother
Open Controls

Shane Long £12m to Southampton is an odd one
Open Controls
Will Chambers be straight back out in GW2?
Open Controls
Won't last further than GW3 imo, as an arsenal supporter. He's looking great but would be a bad move to instantly replace Mert with a kid
Open Controls
Thoughts on this bunch? Improvements?
Mannone - Krul
Luis - Debuchy - Ward - Wisdom - Bruce
Ramsey - Eriksen - Fabregas - Sigurdsson - Marney
Rooney - Jovetic - SturridgeOpen Controls
A Schürrle / Sanchez
B Hazard / Sterling
Any thoughts?Open ControlsSo, Jonny Evans is trolling before the season has even started, the little tinker. I would have liked a Cup Noodle FC™ defender but I'm slowly going off the idea as Smalling, Jones and the others fill me with no confidence at all.
Open ControlsYeah whos going to play? Blackett?
They've really pissed about signing players...again.Open ControlsI imagine LVG is seriously unhappy about this situation. The season starts in three days and they've still only got half a defence, and not a good half at that. Woodward had better come up with some decent signings quickly....
Open Controls
Best option for 8.0m or less? Coutinho, Eriksen, Lamela? anyone else in the bracket?
Open Controls
A) Eriksen/Lamela and Luis (would mean doubling up on Chelsea defense and going without united defense)
B) Jones and SterlingOpen ControlsAye, nailed on for a grim relegation struggle.
Open Controls
Bojan ?! He was crap at Ajax in a system ideal for him. Now he is supposed to do better in a higher league? Insanity!
Open Controls
There is a 2M difference there, for me toreally suggest what is better say what the extra 2M for Siggy over Lamela/Eriksen will get you
Open Controls
Anyone know if Vertonghen has played at all yet? Will he play this weekend?
Open ControlsLast season I remember defensive options being pretty clear cut.
This season is an absolute disaster to start, the world cup has certainly muddled some things.
I can't wait to wildcard GW4.Open Controls
use it wisely, no point saving it if you've made a balls of it.
Open Controls
If someone put a gun to your head and told you to pick a £4.5m gk with a non playing back up who would you pick?
Open ControlsLast few slots left to pick..
DDG, Hamer
Cahill Ward PVA Chester Moore
Mata Ramsey Marney ? ?
Costa Rooney ?
A - Hazard, Arnie, Austin (0 in bank)
B - Hazard, Siggy, Austin (0.5 in bank)
C - Fabregas, Eriksen/Lamela, Bojan (0 in bank)Open Controls
Dear Arsenal Experts,
What is Carzola's game time looking like? With all of Arsenal's midfielders will he be first team most weeks?Open ControlsSo is it best to swap Evans out for Jones now?
Open Controls
should I go with a big 5 mid ramsey hazard mata erikesen and sterling
with rooney and Austin
or downgradeone to a 4.5 mid and get costa?Open Controls
