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?

      You can get into the fpl going on a link someone posted in the last post page 27

      change team number to 1 - that is someone on FFS league

      Then find yourself on the FFS pages

      Click game week one - your team will be there

      then you can go into your league

          Yeah that's what I want to know, who I'm matched against this weekend.
          It better be a temp glitch and not a feature. Knowing who we were going to be up against made it so much better to pick our team.
          Thanks for your help though guys, much appreciated.

            But also missed a penalty so not so bad. Suarez was always coming in for Carroll after this game. Silly not to.

            Unless big Andy does something immense.
