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.

Hey guys, not a bad week for me 55 points with Sterling still to play. Ime top of the Fantasy 24/7 regulars league and around the top 5k overall so cant complain.
inittowinit
Great start that Ant, nice one. Got some prizes for monthly winners for that one that we will announce soon.
Ant0800
Thanks mate. Gomez was a great gamble
.
inittowinit
Surprised they kept a clean sheet there I’ll be honest. Never once considered a Liverpool defender because it still looked like comedy capers in pre-season. Only caught glimpses of the game. Did he look the part?

Ant
Great start mate and I think you’ll be one of the few to benefit from Oxford today thanks to your bench boost.
Great shooting :thumbup:
Ant0800
Thanks mate. I thought week one could work out great for bench boost as later in the season my bench tends to hold a lot of injurys..
inittowinit
Ah ok, wasn’t aware this included a BB. That’s an odd decision this early Ant!
Ant0800
It is, but as i said, my bench tends to hold a lot of reds with injurys and suspensions later in the season. It worked out well so ime happy with a good start.
inittowinit
Cool, if it worked out then it’s as good a time as any I guess!
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
I feel like a broken record, but irrespective of suspension/injuries wouldn’t the bench boost have been better served in a DGW, Ant?

Or just on here then
Raziel
It’s green. Like my comments were green before as well. WTF is this about? Explain yourself right now or you’re grounded. :thumbup: :thumbdown:
Floydeth (CDLS)
Ha, you will find out soon enough Raz. :lurker:
Raziel
PERV!
inittowinit
Hi Raz, it’s a Hot Comments thing which is a new addition – you just got caught in the testing.
So basically if GP for example posts a Community question or say a Potty comp reminder is needed on articles that aren’t at the top then people can have a way of checking the latest news on those – if that makes sense.
There will be a Hot Comments comment section above the normal Latest Comments one. Also if someone posts something of particular interest and info then we can flag that too. I think it’s a great new feature and allows us all to keep up to date on these issues / comments without having to search through multiple pages and articles.
Raziel
Oooh that’s good. But for me, the Razman. I’d like to post bigger GIFS. ZOMG. I would love that. Bwahahahar. 99 out of the 100 gifs don’t work, only Cartman and Cartman ain’t Razman. But he does say something I would say.
”Screw you guys………”

Works, but we knew that
Raziel
Owwwwwwwwww shit, dropped 6 places in my private league and now my nemesis is beyond me. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sterling hatty incoming, I hope.
Like I hoped Wally, Mane, Cedric, Merte, Benteke to shine today, the 5 of them grabbed me a total of 9 points. HAHA! Pathetic.
Raziel
Something rather funny, someone used bench boost and he has a lot of minus points on it. HAHA.
By the way, are we certain they loose those chips for the rest of this season? Or just the first half? Or what?
Andy
We’ve only got one saved chip and that’s the January WC one, for all the others it’s use em and lose em, they are having a teething problem with an app for the bench boost one.
inittowinit
Think it’s showing all BB points regardless of if you played it but only on their official App from reading this…
smithy
What are the Courtois/Hennessey owners going to do? Use a transfer or go with a non playing keeper?
elleffcee (ex champ with a potty prize)
Hoping McCarthy picks up an injury in the week, if not its 10 men i fear. Wondering what the peeps with Cech are gonna do, stick by him i presume.
Smash10
Might be just me but I thought McCarthy may have been at fault for the goal
The Gallant Pioneer (@mitchellcraig81)
Smash
I saw that too. Cane from a long way out and his starting position wasn’t the best which meant be was struggling to get across.
Los Machos F.C.
I’m not in any rush to sell Hennessey. Just because McCarthy started gw1 doesn’t mean that he’s nailed on.
Raziel
Shrugs, he did very well. 😉 :p
Andy
Very unlikely that Hennesey sees any game time though, it’s an awful situation to be in with no GK though, sell Courtois and lose CFC coverage or go with 10 men, I honestly couldn’t choose the right course, terrible luck.
KI
Same problem. The 4.5 keeper who rotates with Courtois is Schmeichel, and they’re away to West Ham (I have 0.5 in reserve, for nonsense like this). Still, we were warned about having 15 starters early on…
I wasn’t planning to start Huth, so I won’t gamble 4 points on next week.
Bigpopz
How’s this WC team looking..
Knee jerk or wot..?
Not influenced by this game week wotsoever…lol
Bigpopz
Think I like it..
Ant0800
Hold on to your WC mate. Its early days.
Raziel
You won’t in a week. 😉
Mito21 @TheLegendMito21
Targett was at fault for that 2nd goal. Just go Oxford and hope he plays next week or two. Bertrand almost back anyway.
chins
Bigpoo,
I’ll tell you what mate. It’s bloody unlucky you didn’t start with that squad, because… now, this’ll be news to you…. those players all did well this weekend!
It’s incredible to think that squad wasn’t influenced by this weekends games. Massive coincidence.
😉
