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.

Gallant Pioneer,
A bundle of thanks on the pre-season reports. The lineups are invaluable, and hard to get from the yellow press. Invaluable stuff. And gratitude to Mito for the ManU breakdown. With all those newbies, it really helps to sort LVG’s talk from his real intentions.
KI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t interrupt the man when he’s busy. Geeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Haven’t you learned anything? :rant:
You’re welcome KI,
At least it’s here now and we can all come back to it.
Right first RMT of the season for me
Stecklenberg Bourc
Ivan Mangala Clyne Baker Morgan
Hazard Schneiderlin Shweinst Ramsey Mirallas
Kane Rooney Hooper
Good to be back!
Hi Hazardo. I think your mids need a bit of tweaking. Well when I say tweaking I mean major heart surgery
Mirallas will be subject to rotation as there are so many players competing for those slots in the Everton midfield and Martinez does rotate a lot. Probably to his detriment but he does. That may change a bit due to no Europa but even so Evertons fixtures beyond the opener are terrible for a good while.
If I was picking a Man U midfielder I would go Depay or Mata, not of the holding mids and certainly not both of them!
There are doubts over Morgan retaining his place but that’s a wait and see.
I like the forwards. Well 2 of them anyway!
Hazardo
