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.

    Anyone already getting nervous about a potential manu clean sheet? This game is so painful haha

  4. JPeg

    10 years, 9 months ago

    Damien has been positionally excellent. Big difference to what we're used to in a right back.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years

      Omen?

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years

      The omens are good

      Deeeemiiiiii!!!!!

    >Rules as written - no assist, there was no pass or shot

    >Rules as intended - assist, Rooney forced the OG

    >Actual decision - assist, people would have kicked off for days about it if it hadn't been given, so FPL were always going to take the easy way out

    >In future - I'd bet that the rule will be clarified slightly

    Can we all move on now?

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

      We like the controversy

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

      Yeah but then even the word “pass” or “shot” is debateable. It might have been an absolutely horrific shot πŸ˜›

      Surely the word should just be “touch”

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

        Oh yeah I'll move on. I'm not actually bothered just like fuelling the debate haha

    3. Evs

      Here, here !

      Well said πŸ™‚

    4. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      So it doesn't adhere to the rules but we should move on? Alright.

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        It was the same last season and the season before that

    5. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      You can't account for every eventuality, assist was right.

      It would have been had a United player scored.

  7. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Unless Rooney sharpens up, he's not going to be scoring many goals this season.

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Its game 1. Chill, everyone can have 1 bad game.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Should get one b4 time.

    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

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

      Top points scorer in the game at the moment.

      Ungrateful.

      1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        lucky points though. should have scored a goal.

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

          Well there you go, he should have had a goal!

    • 14 Years

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

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years

    Not sure about the new PL ball. It looks like they're kicking about Tom Hanks' mate from Castaway.

  17. The Machine
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Rooney has been shite all day. Even the assist was due to him taking too long

    Would have no problem shifting him to aguero if the latter impresses

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

      Sterling -> Milner or other mid, Rooney -> Aguero

      1. The Machine
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        I have 2.5 itb

    2. skeanos
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Shite all last year. Shite today. Priced at 10.5 and did well in the captain poll, ahead of Costa in premium strikers poll. Couldn't make it up!

    1. Punty
      • 12 Years

      Good defensively but how good for BPS and attacking returns?
