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.

Once a red always a red!! YNWA!!
nice touch
YNWA come on Tekkers YNWA
Can someone please explain to me how Courtois got -1 for conceding 2 goals when he didn’t face the penalty? If Begovic would have saved the penalty he would have got the points for it not Courtois so it should be the same for conceded it
Players that get sent off continue to be affected by goals conceded in FPL. It’s because they’re deemed responsible for the team being weakened.
Defenders/GK’s who get sent off continue to lose points if their team continues to concede. If Swansea scored another two then Courtois would have been docked another point. All of this is in the rules on the FPL site.
Ok thanks for your help
Sitting on 13 points with 6 to play including my entire midfield. Feel like i still have a chance this week as Wally is my captain. I need him to start in front of giroud today. Fingers crossed
Same here Matt, hoping for a big haul from Theo! Really hoping Aguero comes on and outscores Rooney too!
Lets hope so mate. Wally doing well this week would be a major bonus. Especially as alot of people captained Hazard 2pts
Matt – Same, need captain Walcott to have one of his good days today.
Yep, and not just Hazard, but Rooney too, and Kane. I cant remember the exact figure, but something like 60-ish-% of teams have a captain on no more than 10 points so far.
Just in, Wally ain’t starting. :p
Haha Raz, you damn monkey.
You better be messing Raz!!
I heard this too, Raz
Sounds pretty worrying to me 😉
I have Wally, he’s pretty much a differential since most other people have Santi/Ozil/Ramsey, so I wouldn’t mind a Wally monster haul.
I have both Wally and Özil. Would be nice if they linked up nicely today.
I capped Shrek, I expected a lot of goals in the Spurs game. That was one depressing game to watch though. Sighs, fear Arsenal will go on a rampage today. On that note, I have both Merte and Wally.
What are people considering to do with Courtois? Can’t do Cech as have arsenal DF.
Don’t want to lose value and not goin a GW without a playing GK as Hennessey is my sub
McButcher – I’m going without a playing GK. I don’t see using my FT for a return of 2 points, or maybe even worse as worth it. I’d rather save my FT so I can use it to get Agüero in soon.
i like to have Chelsea cover in the defence, dumping Curtois will break my plans to get Kun. ( i dont fancy doing a hit to get a gk)
I will play with 10 men if i dont decide to use my WC in gw 3, but i dont think i will use it that early
Aaah good. Means I can write off both Ruben and Wafflez as opponents. :p
Lol
hehe time will tell Raz
I am time, and I just told ya ass. 😉
Fabianski/Pantilimon/Stekelenburg?
Might do pants as also got spurs and saints cover in DF.
I’d love to put in De Gea or Romero but obviously have to wait to see what the story is there
Yeah, best to wait and see what the story is there. Romero would be great value at 5m.
Anyone considering bringing in Romero for Courtois? Or is the consensus to have a non playing keeping?
Romero is to risky, I’d bring a nailed on starter in instead of him, we’ve no idea yet how this DeGea saga will pan out yet, the last thing you want is to be in the same situation twice in a couple of GW’s
Darmian and Shaw are both very interesting, Darmian topping Shaw.
yea they are both on my watchlist…
Oh man, I was so tempted to take a United defender but the amount of options they’ve got at the back is unnerving, I wouldn’t like to put money on any of them until at least the transfer window closes.
Andy, I had Darmian and Romero in different drafts near the closing stages, gutted!
I agree, once the uncertainty lifts they will be good options I think.
I actually had De Gea in until Friday so I’m glad LVG dropped the bombshell when he did, I just didn’t have the stones to go straight to Romero
Has the Arsenal lineup been announced yet I can’t find it anywhere?
Yeah, all your players aren’t starting :hippo:
You’ll have to wait another 20 minutes, normally we get team sheets an hour before kick off
Ah crap I messed up I thought it was kickoff half 12 didn’t realise it was coverage at half 12 Cheers Andy and AT your hilarious mate
haha
