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.

I fear Hazard will steal the game for Chelsea. Montero was/is truly awesome.
Can’t wait for Mourinho attacking the ref for not giving the penalty to Chelsea in the first half. :dance:
Just saw the theatrical Mourinho smile. Match of the day will be fun.
By the way, how old is Costa? He looks 40 now.
Reports are that he’d like to be able to play into his fifties like Arjen Robben, yeah I’m looking forward to MOTD, EPL looks like it’ll be a blast this season already.
2-2 draw. Yes!
Great for Chelsea not to win, and Courtois can’t play against City. Not that Begovic is a bad backup, but he’s still not Courtois.
Oh the irony!
To any Courtois/Hennessy owners.
Who is thinking of just bringing in Cech now and being done with it?
I’d probably avoid doubling up if you’ve already got Arsenal coverage, predicting early CS’s looks like being a nightmare, Spurs and West Ham have 2 decent looking upcoming fixtures, I’d lean towards Spuds coverage as they were pretty decent by all accounts defensively at Old Trafford but I’m not sure on the Lloris injury.
Im not sure at the moment. Is it a one game ban? Considering Chelsea were away to City I think he would have struggled to get a clean sheet. I might just leave it and have no starting gk next week. Id rather that than get a keeper in, get 2 points but not be able to get Aguero.
I’m considering just leaving Courtois in and playing 10 ten men next week.

So unsure you posted it twice eh? 😉
I think it’s a three game ban as it’s a straight Red, no way would I go 3 games with 10 men.
Yes – one game; three is for violent conduct
It was a professional foul so it should only be one game. Three game bans are only for dangerous play.
That’s a shame, I wouldn’t of minded a fire sale of Courtois.
Rather a 0 point goalie if Curt only gets a one game ban, transfering him will break my Kun plans
I may have spoken someone out of Albrighton last night, I hope you stuck with him and started him!
Can Courtois go down tonight?
I’d guess so if enough people sell him as he hasn’t been flagged yet, to be honest though we’ve no idea how price raises and falls will be judged yet.
Wont tonight but wouldn’t be surprised if hes dropped by the end of the GW
As long as its not tonight coz I’m drunk and I need to decide his replacement haha
