It’s here. The new Premier League season is upon us and begins within the fitting confines of the “theatre 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.

  1. Captain Berbarossa - arrrrr…
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Rooney on course for 3 baps too 😛

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

      Hilarious

      He has been awful

      1. Owd Big 'Ed
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Not really. He's done alright in there. Not seen him give the ball away.

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          We are seeing different games

    2. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Clean sheet baps not added yet.....

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

    If there's no change in the score line Roobey will prob get 3bp too for that choke

  3. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Must say, Depay looks a very good buy for 8.5m

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      don't think we have seen much of him first half

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        I can tell hes going to score goals already

    2. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Still so soon to draw conclusions but confident in him over Mata.

    3. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      He looks good so far, quite selfish which is good for FPL.

    4. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Everybody said that about Di Maria. Depay will be another LVG flop.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        What does Di Maria have to do with it? 2 completely different players

    5. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Looks relatively slow to me. And that's when he's playing alongside Rooney!

  4. jam sandwich
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    how many dream team players do you guys have?

    rooney, vorm, dier, bentaleb, blind and carrick here 😀

    1. megatronaldinho
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      what the heck game are u playing? carrick? blind? u gone mad, bro

  5. Arsenal@Gunners
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    8 points for rooney as captain
    YEAH!!!

  6. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Whether you own Rooney or not, "assists" given like that are a joke.

    1. Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      How? He was gonna score if walker hadn't done that

      1. Philmatic
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Exactly. no different to Rooney shooting and Walker deflecting it into his own net

      2. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        It doesn't bode well for the BS assists to come. Remember the Austin one?

    2. 420king
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      lol this is a game that gives assist for being fouled

    3. Birdman77
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      It goes with the territory of objectivity. If you start giving the scorers the opportunity to award assists based on opinion of biggest influence of opens up all sorts of blow ups. This assist was more logical than when a player gets a bootlace on a beautiful pass on the way to a striker and gets the points

  7. Van Klinkert Delarosa
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Any insight for the match?

    Is Rooney playing okay or drop deep? What about Kane?

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. 🙂

    1. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney playing preetty badly tbh. Spurs looked really good but classic spurs.

      1. Owd Big 'Ed
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        He's not playing badly at all.

        He has done alright.

        1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 9 months ago

          Which one guys? :p

          1. Birdman77
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 9 months ago

            Rooney has played some nice passes in general play but United have not shown much attacking threat for Rooney to look good to be honest.

    2. Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Rooney is bossing it. Should have seen the assist

      1. Van Klinkert Delarosa
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Saw the goal.

        No one was marking him, madness.

  8. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Mental not to own the top scoring player in the game only priced at 10.5

    1. Heydudes13
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Continues at this rate he's looking at 8ppg

      E-Ssential.

    2. Van Klinkert Delarosa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      *Mental note.

  9. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    So how are bonus points shaping up

    All seems pretty balanced

    Creative players Depay , eriksen , mata fairing badly

    United keeper keeping up with his defence

  10. Trotter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Haha to all those hyped up people shouting at people for not reading the rules and and that is wasn't an assist.

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

      They were reading the wrong section regardless. If you're going to be smug, do it right.

  11. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Do

    The assist is a grey area. They should just add the “inadvertent touch” line to the bit on OGs as well as goals.

    I think the implication though is that an inadvertent touch counts as a pass within these rules.

    Loop

  12. Futbol Heritage
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Im a Rooney owner and I dont know if it was an assist or not, but who cares. It was awarded 😀

    1. Arsenal@Gunners
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      it was. They just added it

  13. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Wijnaldum seems an absolute gent.

    Hope he does well this season.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah I'm watching SSN too

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

        Aye, decent chap.

    2. Owd Big 'Ed
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Newcastle will be the surprise package and he will come good.

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

        I think he's a class signing so I hope it is true. Defensively still not sure but going forward could be great.

    3. Tiki-Taka
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Think Newcastle will be decent this year, no relegation battle

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

        Not if they get it right, should be grand.

  14. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    So Rooney is a goal/assist away from making the Rooney disbelievers a bunch of schmucks? 😀

    1. PSEBJ27
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Done

  15. PSEBJ27
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Kyle Walker got so tired of Rooney wasting time in front of goal that he just decided to put it in himself...

  16. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Cmon Depay (C)!

    1. ChelseaKTBFF
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

  17. trinzoo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    New site for bonus points ?

    http://totalfpl.com/bonuspoints seems to be off :/

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      TFPL was off last year too... this was the site to go: http://anewpla.net/fpl/live/

    2. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Well, look on the fpl site itself under stats

  18. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    The assist is here boys!!

  19. boc610
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    same ol' match day BS on FFS.

    nothing changes.

  20. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I am sure Pereira will come in second half

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

      would like to see that. Massive potential just waiting to happen. (januzaj as well)

  21. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Have assists ever been revoked?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Anything is possible with FPL Towers.

    2. inter the wild
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      FPL have clearly thought about it, given the delay in awarding the assist.

      Very doubtful this one will e revoked!

  22. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    By their own rules, in FPL terms it was a clear assist.

    Obviously in the real world it was just Rooney doing a bit of a Carlton Palmer impression in failing to control a football, but it is definitely a FPL assist.

  23. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Darmian MOTM so far

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      This! Absolute Gem that guy!

  24. LMNO
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Rooney upfront on his own is a bad move for LVG. He's to slow with the ball at his feet in that position, much better No10 imo

  25. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Best purchase so far is surely Darmian, looks so solid.

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

      Is he attacking too?

      1. Birdman77
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Yep. Making some good runs

  26. Mary
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    FPL towers are afraid of scout. There a pack of cowards. They should hire someone with a bit of bottle

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      🙄 This site used to be fun on matchdays.

  27. Griezlad
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Shaw on my bench........

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    walker on for 1 bap still, it was a good clean finish to be fair. Real determination to get there behind rooney

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

    Mata looking sharp

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Rooney owner and Hazard (c) so am happy if he gets 8 points
