Fantasy Premier League 2016-17 Pre-Season Round up
Hellllllooooooooo FPL’ers! We’re back. It is that time of the year again when we begin to look ahead to how our 20 Premier League teams are preparing for this the most potentially cash-laden, superstar-fuelled, world class manager-jewelled season in history.
FPL will again afford us the chance to back our favourite players (which is of course price-dependent – but that’s for another article) but we need to know that they will be playing in a position worth having them, that they are in form, and more exciting perhaps, where the next bargain of the ‘Alli, Mahrez, Payet, Vardy’ ilk are to be found.
And so to assist us along the way this article is intended as a pre-season scrap book where we intend to record all teams pre-season fixtures and will include where possible all salient information as to who is scoring, who is assisting and who is looking hot and who isn’t.
I will do my best to get all information posted as swiftly as possible but it will all eventually appear here. I would appeal to you to follow my example and in the format of previous seasons assist me by including team news with substitutions, team formation information, goal scoring and assisting records and any other information FPL-relevant.
The main new addition here is that this article is linked in with the HOT COMMENTS section that appears above the Latest Comments. Basically we have created a comment link for each team. Simply scroll to the Hot Comments for the team you require info on and it’ll take you to their section and we will have all their pre-season info in one place courtesy of our fantastic community members.
The purpose of this is so that –
1. There is a specific place to post relevant pre-season info for each team –
Please post any findings – line-ups, signings, team news, match reports, etc…
2. It’s easy to find all the info.
Need to know the pre-season line-ups for Arsenal? Easy, just click on their link in Hot Comments and you will come to their hub.

SOUTHAMPTON – Pre-season.
Fixtures, results, line-ups, signings etc…
New Signing: Southampton have completed the signing of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg from Bayern Munich on a five year contract for an undisclosed fee. Could be a decent signing possibly to replace Wanyama.
Snap
Haha
I wouldn’t see him as a like for like replacement. From the little I know of him he’s more of a box to box midfielder whereas Wanyama is more of a destroyer. I’d consider him to be more creative than Wanyama.
Yeah I should have said a player who has come in to perhaps take over that spot but due to the new manager it could be a more attacking side than when Wanyama played. By the sounds of it this lad is very promising so he could be a great punt in FPL this year.

There’s a blast from the past. I didn’t even know N’zogbia was there. I wonder if they did. Took some DFK’s as well from the sounds of it. £4.5m and he’ll be on the watchlist. Any more though forget it.
