Here we go again. In just a few hours, Chelsea and Jon Reeson begin the defence of their respective titles in what will, undoubtedly, be a campaign of total frustration and regret for many a Fantasy manager. Then again, would you have it any other way?
So before a ball is kicked, we thought we’d stick our necks out at Fantasy Football Scout Towers to offer up a few predictions. No doubt many of these punts will come back to haunt us (some quicker than others) but here’s how many of the contributors think the upcoming season will pan out, both in league and fantasy terms.
Have a good season everyone!
