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?

    Apologies lost on last page....

    Afternoon All,

    I’ve been doing FF for a few years but can’t get my head round the new layout.
    Sorry to ask such a basic question but how can I view my mates teams in our mini league.
    Appreciate the feedback.

    I went to the beach this morning thinking Enrique and Suarez wouldn't play, so I didn't put them in my initial team. I got back a few hours ago, and read they were both starting! Already accepted a 2pt hit to get them back, BUT I LOVED THAT PENALTY MISS! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! We've all got stories...
