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.

Looks like Cedric is getting in good assisting positions. 2 assists there.
And a goal too. I think he’s going to be a good bargain at 5.0 because Southampton are a solid unit usually so should get a good few clean sheets to add to his attacking potential.
Oooh, missed the goal. Nice!
Matt/Mito
Scanning through the reports, he has been involved in the second half of the pitch quite a bit. Very encouraging reports on him.
Cheers GP. He’s sounding like a cheap version of Coleman hopefully.

I see Hoban has played in the 3 games does anyone know how he is playing and if the Manager will keep faith in him??
Matt
Everyone in the squad has been playing in each of the games. I wouldn’t get excited just yet.
Crap :/ haha
Has he been playing well though?
Matt
Haven’t heard either way I’m afraid.
No worries GP. I’ll try find something out.
