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?

    Hoolahan and Given are my points scorers.

    Anyone got more than two, or a different two ?

    Finally (after 15 hours) managed to get into the FPL site. Pages painfully slow to load and no latest points update. Great redesign there fellas!

    Larsson was flying out there. I don't care so much though. I need a winner from Carroll.

    In bed in my hotel room on the Gili Isles (near Bali), next to my sleeping girlfriend, feeling incredibly smug because, after 10mins of guessing on my iPhone, I've just cracked the neighbouring dive centre's wifi password

    The dive centre is called Trawangan Dive, and after many failed attempts, I guessed the correct password: divetrawangan
