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.

How are people looking after today?
A very disappointing 20 points for myself with Cedric, Ozil, Sterling and Benteke to play…
Also 20 with Sterling, Ozil, Benteke, Wallclock, Cedric & Wanyama to go. Oooh – plus some BPs for Azpi apparently
BPs for Azpi? Nice!
crazy to get bonus’ based on that game
23 pts – Kos, Cedric, Mane, Ozil, Benteke left
15 here.
Cech, Cedric, Mane, Sterling, Ozil, Benteke and Sahko to play
7 points haha. But i have Cedric, Gomez, Mert, Sterling, Mane, Benteke and el capitano Walcott still to play
Captain – link your team?
The Cappo in hand might just save our GW although it has been tough scoring, I’m 21 with 4 left to play.
Bad day all round! The brave who didn’t captain Hazard must be buzzing now!
Hi Rambo
32 points with Cedric, Koscielny. Cazorla, Payet, Sterling and Pelle to play.
Awesome GP. A whopping 7 points here
CC
No prizes are handed out on the opening Saturday. Unfortunately.
Happy birthday my friend. Hope the lady has treated you well.
Best I’ve seen GP nicely done!
Cheers mate.
Wow and not even with Mahrez, just evenly spread across the board :thumbup:
GP, shut up. :p
Sorry ell. :sad-face:
Cracking opening gameday mate. – Great going.
15 with Mert, Ozil, Sterling, Benteke and Pelle remaining.
Poor.
8 points from 5 players and a suspended goalie that I have to transfer out. Boarderline disaster if you ask me.
But I’m keeping up my positiveness. I’m happy that the blues only got 1 point and my main focus is on the Liverpool game tomorrow! GO REDS!!!
I still have 6 players left, including my captain. The good gameweeks will come.
Hope it has gone better for all of you, my fellow FF247’ers. :beer:
Time for some card games, see you tomorrow.
:thumbup:
25 points with Cedric, Gomez, Cazorla, Mane, Sterling, Oxford, Benteke and Cech still to play.
28 points sorry.
28 from 3 players, not bad at all.
Can’t believe the “experts” on this website have Hennessey in their team and Palace have played McCarthy! Who said Hennessey would fill in for Speroni??????
It was a 50/50 shot, everyone was in the dark as to who would get the nod for the opening GW.
Not good enough sort it out
Sort what out? I’ve got 2 playing keepers
You are taking FPL too seriously. You sort it out.
Calm yo tits, don’t remember anyone saying he WOULD start. There was hype a couple of weeks ago when he was supposedly going to WBA where Pulis would play him, and I believe he also played in the last pre-season game (though I may be wrong there) which is usually a decent indicator. For most people though he is simply a filler spot for those not opting for a GK rotation, so it doesn’t really matter if he plays anyway. It’s just rotten luck for those who had both him and Courtois.
Yeah!! Calm yo tits punk!!!!!
It was a punt, pure and simple. Everyone had the choice of who to pick.
No one said it was written in stone.
smithy
You can’t blame anyone on here. OK so I personally said I fancied McCarthy to play but I also fancied Matthews to start over Jones at Sunderland so there is absolute proof that none of can call it right all the time.
But I called Palace right 😉 Sorry . . . .
More accurate advice required!
I couldn’t have been more accurate.
I agree Smithy. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m leaving
Bye then Init 😉
What a bunch of twats! I agree Smithy. I certainly would I least have them fined. *wait, what? They work for free?
Well someone shoot their dog then!
Hahaha, you can’t be serious.
I completely agree Smithy. I can understand that there was no information publicly available about which keeper would play; that most of the mainstream media and their highly paid journalists didn’t know; and even the players themselves probably didn’t know; but that’s NO excuse for people on here guessing incorrectly. Experts, my arse.
:popcorn:
When things don’t go well, blames everyone on here. When things do go well, thanks nobody. Good logic there, well done :thumbup:
NiN, what I don’t understand is why he’s not thanked me. I successfully predicted both Hazard and Rooney would start.
I would like to say a massive thank you for predicting Hazard and Rooney would start. I’m just disappointed I did not go for the Rooney advice and took a risk with Aguero. No hint of sarcasm.
As for the Palace GK ordeal it’s hardly a big deal and I started Hens. I do have Butland on bench though
😉 I dread to think what will happen if there’s a surprise in the Arsenal lineup. Might as well just shut the site down if there’s another hiccup.
Ha ha especially if Walcott is on the bench. Which could easily happen
Oi, Smash, we’ll have less of that talk, ya hear? Wally starts and bags a hat-trick 😉
I really hope not Nin. My biggest game week fears were big points from Walcott and Rooney. Rooney with his lucky assist
What!? Please tell me you are joking, right?
You can’t solicit their opinions and then blame them for your game week. It’s YOUR team, YOUR decisions. These ‘experts’ give up countless hours producing articles and rating teams and this is how you repay them?
I don’t understand how you expected anyone to know who would start in net when both had been playing.
Laughable.
21 points with Cedric,Milner,Benteke,Sterling and Wally as Capo plus Huth coming on to make it 22. Glad I didn’t choose Haz as Cap.
Matt
Evening pal. Yeah those who went away from Hazard (self included) are a bit relieved after tonight’s game. Suddenly Rooney doesn’t look so bad. Although I’ll admit, those with the armband on an Arsenal player, I’d swap positions with right now.
You are poised for a really good GW score providing results go to plan tomorrow.
Evening GP,How’d your day go??
Ye I wasn’t impressed with Hazard today he just wasn’t at the races didn’t get involved in too many attacks unless he was starting them.
That’s what I’m hoping for even if he gets 10 the same as Rooney I won’t be annoyed as long as it isn’t a measly 4 like the ones that Captained Haz.
Hazard was pretty invisible. Disappointed with his performance, but this wasn’t Chelsea’s best performance either.
Very true Tekno. Chelsea just seemed unfit and the commentator pointed it out a good bit throughout the match that Jose had given them 2 extra weeks off. Wrong choice there it seems. I was impressed by Oscar though he played well.
Matt
Happy with my score today. It’s still early days and you can’t hang Hazard or Chelsea for one game.
That in my eyes, despite last seasons corresponding scores, was never an easy game for Chelsea. Swansea are always underestimated I think.
Oh god I’m definitely not. I think give them a week or two and in GW3 or 4 they’ll probably put 4 or 5 past West Brom or Palace. Just meant for today’s game I wasn’t impressed and in my opinion Swansea should have won thought they were amazing.
I just realized that Westwood is sitting third on my bench, and he got an assist. He has also outscored my 2 midfielders who have played. Westwood > Hazard + Ritchie.
Is Westwood this season’s Boyd?
Hi B
Haven’t seen the highlights yet but the commentators on radio when I was listening were saying that the Villa midfield were not committing themselves to attack so I’m not really sure how the assist came about exactly. I don’t think you could class Westwood as an attacking mid in any way. Always been a good protective mid, in my eyes.
