It’s here. The new Premier League season is upon us and begins within the fitting confines of the β€œtheatre of dreams”.

Old Trafford hosts the season opener, as Louis van Gaal’s freshly sculpted Manchester Untied lineup host Tottenham.

It’s a lip-smacking, sun drenched prospect, played on a billiard table of a surface, with an array of Fantasy talent on show.

Immediately we hope to assess the prospects of both Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane – two protagonists who will surely play some part in our seasons, if not our Gameweek 1 lineups.

Following that, we’ve a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs and a tea-time date with the champions.

It’s great to be back.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Well carved, Young should have shot. Same with Memphis, actually, had it on his left.

    Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

    Inadvertent touch... Assist

        Assists can be added hours later

    Own Goals
    If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player to put the ball in his own net, then an assist is awarded.

  24. mutatedllama
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Calm down everybody. Rooney will get the assist.

    "If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player to put the ball in his own net, then an assist is awarded."

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Going by that he did neither.

    2. Exilizer
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      did rooney pass? No

      did rooney shoot? No

      All he did was take a touch.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      He didn't shoot or pass

  25. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Remember when United scored 2 goals against Arsenal last season without having a shot on target πŸ™‚ πŸ™‚

    1. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, nothing much has changed!

  26. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I forgot there are worse things than constant RMTs πŸ˜€

    Gotta love FPL.

  27. Exilizer
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    the rules clearly state:

    Own Goals
    If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player to put the ball in his own net, then an assist is awarded.

    Rooney did neither. So rightfully no assist.

  28. 420king
    • 11 Years

    it either takes FPL longer this year or he's not getting it

  29. Jay_

      Depay time

      1. Jax
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Mempiss

    • Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney last man utd player to have controlled and touched the ball. Doesn't need to shoot or cross. Assist will be given, calm down.

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        His touch was a very subtle pass to Walker so it's an assist 😎
