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.

What a cracking start to the season for my team Pompey 3-0 winners today. Thoroughly enjoyable day!
Unfortunately my fantasy team have done poorly just 12 points.
Hey ho. Let’s hope Theo and Benteke can put things right tomorrow
Hi horse
Great to see Pompey off to a flyer. 16,000 at the match as well. Incredible. Love to see you come up this season mate.
There a lad in midfield called Bennett 2 goals an assist and a cleanie. Wish I had him in my team. 😉
Great start for Rangers too. Hope they come up as well.
Horse
Should be ok this season mate.
Went up last night and they played really well I have to say :thumbup:
Nice one TGP.
Pfft fantasy is a long way down the pecking order when it comes to your team Horse, you fancy pompey to finally have a promotion run this season?
Didn’t know the BBC had lost the football league highlights, I think I’ll miss Manish as I liked him, channel 5 does have them on at a more friendly hour though.
Very true Andy.
Pompey looked really impressive today. We play Derby in the League Cup on Wednesday.. Should have a better idea of how good we are then.
I didn’t know about the football league highlights show either. When are they showing it on Channel 5?
It’s on now mate, they’ll be on before MOTD now.
Cheers Andy.
(Hunts for remote)
26 points from 5 with Merte, Cedric, Wally, Sterling, Mane and Benteke to go. I’m pretty happy with that after my initial cap score from Rooney.
Damn you Raz that is a huge score, for you. I am only at 15, and without a keeper for next GW. SHITE.
Not using your ft on a goalie?
Aah yes, what makes it better is that my nemesis put the treble cap on Hazard today. 6 points he gets, awesome. 😉
Well what can I say 12 points with 6 to play worst start in 10 yrs oh well it’s a marathon not not sprint Swa looked very good Che of the pace let’s hope better score tm
Evening Silver. Did you captain Wally if so then by 3 tomorrow your GW could have turned right around
really liked the look of Swansea today especially Monteto that lad was making bits of Ivan and made him look like a schoolboy.
Also just checked the doubles team and realised we had Mahrez!! Should have captained him hahah
Does anyone know if they is an accurate (free) site for price rises? FISO and total FPL don’t seem to be working
Fpl statistics was the best site last season. However, it appears fpl ain’t showing certain stats for them to calculate anything. So right now, no site is working, all blanco. Fpl statistics is showing the ownership though.
Cheers Raz. Looks like one of the biggest advantages we have over the casuals has now gone.
Good news. FISO is up and running
We’ll have to wait and see. Ususally takes some GWs for the sites to figure out the price rise system.
27 pts with 5 players to go. Made two poor last minute changes replacing Cech with Courtois and making Hazard as a captain instead of Sterling.
Lesson learned to go with your own choice instead of influence of someone else.
Well, next time you could ignore someone else’s advice and make your own choice, and it will turn out that listening to the other person was the right call. You can’t exactly predict stuff like Courtois getting a red card.
Actually looks decent in a low scoring day, I don’t think your alone with the Haz (c) pick but the likelihood of picking the right captain every week is slim, best get the wrong ones out of the way first.
Decent score on a low scoring day. Shit happens but never blame another for the decisions you make.
i did go with my own choice 10 points with six players left, lesson learned dont listen to myself always go on fpl247 infuence
Bit of both is a nice balance. I’ll spend all week answering questions on twitter on behalf of the site with a measured opinion and most others within this community do the same on here. I do that but then will still ask opinions on my own choices / options on here. All done with one understanding though – only one person makes that final decision.
Main thing I’ve noticed so far on MOTD is that Sunderland still need to buy 2 centre halves, even O’shea might get back into the team after that performance, Deeney was lucky not to see red.
