Fantasy Premier League 2015-16 Pre-Season Round up
[three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″]
[/three_fourth]
Hello. Happy Summer everyone and welcome to your Pre-Season Article. The article is intended as a ‘work-in-progress’ and a workspace where we can keep each other up to date with all the latest line-up and substitution news for all twenty of this season’s Premier League teams ahead of our final selection of our fantasy squads.
We should also record the scoreline particulars including the all-important scorers, assisters and ‘nearly men’. Any salient information such as a defender on penalty kicks duties, a midfielder playing striker or Asmir Begovic playing some part in a Chelsea match to let him think he has a chance of playing this season, can be found here.
Of course, if you are lucky enough to witness any of the action, your opinion is valued too so let us know who impresses and doesn’t impress during these games.
Now you may have noticed the cunning use of “your”, “we”, and “each other” above. This is not a one-man band, because I’m useless musically and I’m not on at all hours (as much as I would like to be), so please do get involved – get the line-ups ‘up’ and the opinions flowing.

You beat me to it
Cheers for this GP.
That’s interesting. So Hendo behind Milner in a 4-2-3-1 formation. If that is the case then one would think, Milner will stay further forward if one of the two has to sit deeper.
That seems to be the way their playing but I have a feeling Milner will be the more attacking player but will rotate with Hendo so they can both get forward at different times and keep teams on their toes.
Mito,
From what I could gather from Liverpool and a few of the fan sites. I prepare to be corrected by Mr Warrior :smiling:
