Pre-season Hub 2019/20 FPL season
Hello and welcome to the Pre-Season Hub 2019/20 season. A new season of FPL action is ahead and as some of you may now have become accustomed to FF247 will run an article detailing all relevant pre-season news focusing specifically on the team line-ups, goal scorers and assisters. This is the article and here’s how it works;
This article is a living document which we update daily during pre-season. The intention is to offer a one-stop-shop for all fantasy relevant pieces of information as we begin to assemble our new squads over the coming weeks and months.
I intend to personally update this as we go but as always, I’m not precious about it and your help is appreciated in copy/pasting all relevant and salient pieces of information against each team’s comment thread with reference to which game the information relates to.
Each team will be listed alphabetically, and a Hot Comment will be created for each one and kept in the usual place so that for example, all of Aston Villa’s or Sheffield United’s pre-season progress and team news is only a click away. To this end, all we ask is that you keep all talk of any particular team to their own comment thread – this makes it easier to follow the discussion and for any returning persons to locate all chat relating to that team easily enough – and that’s really it.

Crusaders/B36 Torshavn (A, Europa League Qualifying)
*Wolves are a big one to note here as they will begin their season competitively on 25th July as they attempt to qualify for the Europa League Group Stage proper where they will have to negotiate three rounds.
Second Qualifying round – above.
Third Qualifying round – 8th and 15th August.
Play-off round – 22nd and 29th August.
And that’s it – all we need now is to see how the managers begin to shape their squads and integrate new signings. We would advise you pay close attention to the end of the pre-season programme as that is when it is most likely to be the best indication of how the sides will line up come opening day.
Any questions, queries or observations please leave them in the thread for comment or open discussion.

SOUTHAMPTON PRE-SEASON HUB
Don’t know whether anyone is bothered but here goes Talking about Saints new signing Djenepo in Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final match between Ivory Coast and Mali…
“The 21-year-old winger was one of, if not, the standout performers for Mali at Afcon these past couple of weeks, wreaking immense havoc on the flanks with his insatiable change of pace and innate close control. And, this afternoon at the New Suez Stadium, he once again demonstrated exactly why Southampton fans should be very excited about his arrival from Standard Liege this summer – even if the result didn’t favour him on this occasion.
In the first half alone Moussa Djenepo successfully completed more dribbles than any other player on the pitch with four take-ons, demonstrating his unnerving ability to carry the ball forward with venom and vigour.
Ivory Coast boast the likes of Wilfried Zaha and Nicolas Pepe, but for large spells of this round-of-16 match in Egypt it was the Saints wide-man who looked the player who should be drawing links to Arsenal and Liverpool – not the two Ivorians – as he was frightening with every touch of the ball and every marauding gallop.
If Southampton fans were disappointed Mohamed Elyounoussi failed to really stamp his mark on the wings at St Mary’s Stadium last term, then, on evidence of Djenepo’s Afcon form, they may not be in for such misgivings with their latest wide recruit this time around.”
Music to my ears 😀
Nicely wrote Zed! I see Villa’s Kodjia assisted the Zaha winner in this game also!

WATFORD PRE-SEASON HUB
Watford looking as helpful as usual with their info, are they secretly run by North Korea?!
Was scrolling through and had to do a double take on them. Guessing they will play closed doors or in North Korea. Burnley last season played a ridiculous amount of games, the complete opposite.
