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.

Hazard to Yaya and Rooney to Kun. :dance:
Pancho
I have sterling, but my opponent in head to head has him captained. if he scores or assists then I lose the head to head.
Verdict: Sterling needs to stay anonymous or store a hatty!!!
EBC
Bloody Toure. Looked at him long and hard then dismissed him in favour of Depay and Ramsay.
Idiot!
MadHatter
Early Doors!
Raziel
Fu king Kompany scores. Fuck.
Raziel
Week keeps getting worse, holy shit.
Raziel
Geezz 12 points from Sterling, Walcott, Benteke, Cedric, Merte and Mane. Can’t get much worse than that. Fuck.
Tekno-kun
Wrong. If WBA scores it’ll be 11 pts.
Wafflez
My two top scorers will be Rooney and Cedric. Glad this gw is almost over
Raziel
I know, would also steal 4 points from several opponents I have.
RedVT
Was that a Silva assist?
Tekno-kun
Yep
RedVT
Thanks Teks, thought so but I wasn’t sure.
Tekno-kun
Hm, I may ditch Hazard for Silca when I WC. Their points returns are pretty similar, and Silva is 1.5m cheaper
DMC
Hey Tekno, I have Sterlo myself and will give him a go for a few weeks, but Chelsea seem all over the place (since pre season) and though Hazard looked better than the rest in pre season I just think they struggle to score many goals without a fit and inform Costa. That makes me lean to … Sanchez, who seems poised for an early return maybe? I have Kun already.
Hazard is obviously a must but team form suggests it may take a little longer for regular double digits hauls. What do you make of it?
Tekno-kun
DMC, I wouldn’t get Sanchez for Hazard until he has proven his fitness. I’ll give it at least another GW myself before I make any major judgements regarding Aguero, Sanchez, Hazard, or any other big player.
DMC
Fair enough. Not the best week for big changes that’s for sure.
Tekno-kun
Aguero on
Raziel
After the next game though.
Tekno-kun
Yup, prob WC after GW2 for me. Probably.
