Saturday Dugout Discussion

The Saturday Surgery has closed. Pre-season is over. The sea of “Rate-my-teams” will begin to subside. The deadline for team selection has slammed shut and then some.

At least for now, what’s done is done. It’s time for the football to begin and for some new Fantasy Football champions to be crowned as we open the Dugout Discussion…

Fulham and Aston Villa have new managers looking to start their season off in style, QPR and Norwich both return to the Premier League with ties at home to Bolton and away at Wigan respectively.

Liverpool and Arsenal are seen as big rivals for fourth place as they open against sides from the North-East. Blackburn also host Wolves.

As you can see, plenty of action going on as the season kicks off. Will your gambles pay off? Have you made the right captaincy choice? Will all that effort require a sudden wildcard? Were you even able to get through the sky-high walls around the Fantasy Premier League castle this last 24 hours? The Dugout Discussion will be open through it all as we welcome “soccer” back with a warm embrace. It’s been a long three months.

Here’s hoping Gameweek one starts with a bang deserving of the last day’s frustration. I’m sure we’ll all have a new bandwagon to jump on by the time evening is upon us – Mauro Forimica anyone?

      I agree, this season's Fantasy League is a bit of a disappointment regarding the 'real time' points. Hopefully those responsible will have it sorted by next Gamewweek after they realise the immense cock-up(s) on their behalf.

    Can people not wait? 45 minutes into the first gameweek, we all know who's scored and assisted, even at that all players are on 0. What's the hurry?

      Not the point I'm afraid, half teh fun is to check out how you're doing 'real time' instead of having to figure out how many points you've got and comparing with other teams.

    I dislike that fact that the points are updated AFTER the games have finished

    It was much better when it was being updated in real-time. Don't fix what ain't broke etc.
