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?

    For what its worth I have just sent this to fpl towers. Anyone else done the same or agree.

    I'm sure you are aware myself and a significant number of other players were unable to log into our teams on the evening of Friday 12th and Saturday 13th August. This meant we were unable to.complete our teams in time for the deadline. This is the first time I have been able to log in. I would like to know if you are planning any special measures as this has messed up a number of teams. Perhaps the best approach would be to allow an additional wildcard to be used in gw2 which could ensure people get to select the teams they wanted. Look forward to hearing from you shortly.

    does anyone know with these EA points when they say the winning team benefits more from points, is that winning the match for a longer period or just the overall game?
