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?

      3 pts. but not sure exactly since the site is still down. if i were actually able to make changes i would have used my frees to bring in suarez for carroll and enrique in w/out capt. carroll. anyone see that foul that disallowed carroll's goal? so so soft.

        They run a site devoted to one thing. So you'd think they'd pass comment on the fact that it's not actually working and the vast majority of the posts on their site are complaining about how shit it is.

      FFS gives so much great content and OPINION away for free (and it is worth paying to get even more) yet there's always people moaning when things completely out of their control or influence accidentally go wrong... Exactly what do you expect FFS to do about it... They've already posted an article telling us they are trying to get some more info on what's happened. Positive vibes people, it will all soon be a distant memory as the GW's roll by!
