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.

West Brom vs Man City = Boys vs Men
Need to get more City into my team, after the Chelsea game.
Thank the footballing gods for YYT!!
Do you have him?
Yes – he has saved my week!!
Why are you linking someone else’s team. Get that fixed. 😉
I thought it was linked?
Sterling should have got himself a goal there…
Himself? He should have gotten me that goal. Annoying.
That was a pathetic attempt at a finish. Ref should have blown for a back pass.
Holy shit, first Mane, now Sterling.
Yeah the replay suggests it should be Silva’s goal, Yaya’s assist
Didn’t a wba player also get a touch? Should be an own goal and Silva assist.
Silva’s flick was on target though. Still, it looks like it’s going to be one for the dubious goals panel – which if I remember correctly doesn’t affect FPL points.
No Raz, that was a shot on goal. Needs to be a massive deflection for a shot on goal to count as own goal.
I can understand Sterling’s bad shot accuracy. Many of his shots come when he’s at high speed. I know for myself that I finish worse when I’m at high speed vs when I’m at medium speed.
That being said, Ronaldo can do it, Messi can do it. Sterling just needs to put down a lot of work to get it right.
It’s also bad footing and ball control.
Which most players experience when they’re at that high of speed. He does need to work on it though.
