Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 1 – Fantasy Premier League 2015/16
GW1 is live! What better way to kick off the season than with a lunch time match up with 4th place implications written all over it. United will look to secure an early 3 point advantage over perennial Europa League participators, but non-contenders to win, Spurs. At 3pm we have 4 games on the menu. Recently promoted Bournemouth carry the hopes and dreams of many FPL investors as they take on Sherwood and the Benteke-less eleven. In another game that features a recently promoted side, Watford travel to Goodison Park where Everton will be playing for the only 3 points they stand a chance of winning until Christmas. In an early relegation battle we see the Foxes welcome the Black Kitties from Sunderland. If that wasn’t enough of a preview of the probable bottom of the table this season in the 3pm games, we add the also promoted Canaries to the fray, who play host to the Liverpool dream killers, Crystal Palace. In the last game of the day, Chelsea will look to continue taking the manhood away from Swansea as they look to humiliate the Swans with another pasting similar to those of last season.
On Sunday we have three fixtures. Arsenal will look to impress and have all Gooners excited and proclaiming them Champions after week one. Saints (the Liverpool B team) will travel to Newcastle and hope to make their mother club proud, with an away win. Speaking of mother, Liverpool will travel to Stoke where they look to exorcise their demons and by that I mean the memory of Glen Johnson.
The game-week finishes off with the Baggies looking to stop the vaunted City attack with a taller, wider custom made bus. Can’t wait to see the twitterverse explode about Sterling and proclaim the investment on him a complete failure or success based on one half.
Don’t forget to also share any experiences if you are participating in any or several of the fanteam.com leagues. Remember scores update in real time, so don’t be shy and let us know how much you are in line to win.

Just registered
had a little scare as I forgot to do my last minute changes before 11:30 which was putting haz as captain instead of Sterling, but then when i made the change at 11:31 I realised the deadline changed. Phew 
Anyone know how to get FanTeam (WoofBet) back into English rather than Norweigan?
Hey EBC you can choose language on the right up hand side of the screen (desktop).
Damn, I forgot to change my team…… lol yeah right
First line-ups of the season! Good luck guys.
Manchester United: Romero, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Carrick, Young, Depay, Mata, Rooney
Spurs: Vorm, Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen (c), Davies, Bentaleb, Dier, Chadli, Eriksen, Dembele, Kane
Thanks mate. Good luck everybody. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ROONEY! :dance:
Davies playing over Rose, interesting..
Blind still in CB hahaha
LvG wants a CB that can play football. Something that didn’t work for Blind at midfield (to be honest). In preseason he has looked decent. I’m curious what will happen.
I see several average players at United: Romero, Blind and Young. Latter 2 are hard workers for the team. Romero I don’t get, for me he’s a shite goalie.
Dier in midfield?
Yeah he’s apparently been playing DM in pre-season
Damn! TJ is back!
No Trips? 😮
It’s going to be a long season of unexpected line ups this one I feel B, sooner or later everyone will be bit by the rotation bug, having regular GT from the bench will be more important than ever.
Dying to see this United team in action.
Whats the views on Romero ?
He’s shite, has always been shite and will always be shite. He’s quite the looker though. Depends on your view? Good model, bad goalie. Am I clear enough for ya? :dance:
Aaah yes, one thing he is good at is stopping penalty’s. 😉
Well shite or no shite he is for now the cheapest route to Man Utd CS as An alternative to Darmian, which I had and replaced for Romero. Also he’s argentinian and named Sergio so there’s your rational. Half time, so far so good!
Thanks TJ and good luck to you this season!
did Blind play cb?
Good luck everyone!
Have the feeling that I’ve totally ruined my team in the last three hours or so… even did a very last second change with Wilson out and Defoe in… well, time to relax a bit and try to enjoy some games.
Ha, I had the same dilemma Albertini. Even woke up in the middle of the night and switched it from Defoe to Wilson, and then back again, lol. We can always bring Wilson in if he starts off well, but I think Defoe has the better schedule and players around him. Best to start off with as few risks as possible I think, it’s a long season. Best of luck to you, hope you have another belter this year.
To anyone that captained Rooney: He has scored 10 goals in his last 12 against spurs. Let’s hope for more :dance:
oi, stats man, declare those sort of stats before the deadline or not at all :finger: 😉
Make people pick the wrong captain, win FPL :dance: If you have hazard, he will score so nothing to worry about
I didn’t go for him either! hahaha
Wanted to but I didn’t want to deal with the disappointment if he failed as it was the early Saturday kick off.
Still rooting for some goals as long as Caz outscores him. Wait…Caz to outscore Rooney? Wait, I captained Caz.
Oh what have I done!!!
