Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 1
Welcome to Fantasy Football Live Match Chat Gameweek 1. As the great Bruce Buffer would say “IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTSSS TTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMEE!” Here we go, the planning stage is over and the moment has come to test all your pre-season theories. This season we don’t even have to wait until the weekend either, as the season kicks off on a Friday night. The invincible Arsene Wenger and his boys take on the now “back where they belong” Leicester.
Saturday hits us with a lunch time feast as Watford welcome in Liverpool and their high octane attack. Three o’clock has five fixtures on the slate. The Champs grab their first 3 points when they face Burnley, Palace host newcomer Huddersfield, The Toffees tangle with Stoke, Saints pummel Swansea and The Baggies back from vacation finally after leaving in February mix it up with The Cherries. The Saturday fixtures finish up when recently promoted Brighton tries their hand at figuring out why City paid that much for that defence.
Sunday hits us with the last two fixtures. Newcastle reacquaints themselves with the Premier League when they face Harry Kane and company, geez, what a welcome back. The late game pairs up Man United side versus a Hammers team whose big acquisitions were in part, three old Manchester leftovers, Chicha, Zaba and Hart.

87 for me happy start
jamesimmo
Looks like really strong defences are bailing us all out for once!
Frustrating times further up the field but J Rod and KDB both played well. Willian too, for you, actually.
I found Ince vs Mounie was the most agonising performance comparison this weekend…
Congratulations on the solid score.
wylecoyote
good score ,
whatsmypasswordagain
So……….is contemplating playing my wildcard suicide, had cahill and fab, iwobi(dont ask what I was thinking) and lindoff. So a terrible week.
Horse
That’s really bad luck. What’s the rest of your team like?
inittowinit
Happens, may be best to fix it with one, even though it’s less than a ideal scenario. Depends on your bench though I guess, you could always ride it with a small hit?
wylecoyote
i had Fab , switched out already for next week – –early doors for a WC though
cant you try the new chip to buy yourself a week —
BennyB
I usually use my WC by week 3 anyway and do fairly well from it, so don’t think it’s that bad
whatsmypasswordagain
rest of the team elliot, hennesy, cedric, yoshida, mason, mane, carroll, loftus-cheek, jesus, kane, lukaku. Went heavy up top, didnt pay off until lukaku. Bad start, taking the hit and praying. I always have a terrible start. Ahhh this game can be so frustrating. Swapped out shelby for iwobi mid week too, so maybe some luck there…..
Smash10
Congrats to those that had a strong start
wylecoyote
amen to that
wylecoyote
86 with Lukaku not selected as Cap and Fab Offed – Should be happy as a good score
but a bit annoyed on captain choice
inittowinit
Only cost you 10 points though I suppose, always more helpful to look at it that way! Some left Hegazi on the bench so that’s even more, just feels like it hurts more when it’s the captain.
wylecoyote
yes i suppose I cant complain and be too greedy , 86 is not a bad start
I think Lukaku Ownership now will go through the roof and the price !
BennyB
What a 1st gameweek, 94 for me!
wylecoyote
great score , and with some poor ones in there as well Jesus /Bellerin
BennyB
Cheers Wyle!
Yep, sticking with them tho. Jesus looked deadly, just unlucky. Bellerin keeps his spot for now just on faith!
Raziel
Congrats mate. I Ended the week with 81 points.
BennyB
Well done Raz! Let’s hope it continues, seen some good scores posted on here!
Horse
The rankings have come up really quickly. Top 95K for me.
banjomaker
Top 16k for me… can we stop now 😉
inittowinit
157k here. Think I began with a 500k or so last time so that’s an improvement already I suppose.
