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.

      Just how did you get that right?

    What was the site that had the live bonus points updates last season?

    1. La Décima Chaser
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I don;t know how accurate it is, but on the FPL site, they have a detailed run down of the stats, with BP one of the categories! So i could tell that Smalling, Romero and Darmian were likely to get the BP the entire game.

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah but there was a site last year that had a live update showing who was getting the points. Was easier than the FPL site.

        1. Despilgrim
          11 years, 2 months ago

          totalfpl but its down and tbh died last season

          1. Cilly Bonnolly
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Nope, wasn't that. Wish I could remember the name of it!

        Been reading your views from some time now..you haven't linked your team here though..really wanted to see your team..

  3. Nurse Chilli
    11 years, 2 months ago

    First mistake of the season, left Romero on my bench.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Darmian here. High five!! 😀 😆

  4. Rogue Todd
    11 years, 2 months ago

    BT Sport coverage very average - 3 commentators never works in any sport, especially a fast-paced sport like football - don't know why they have done this. Also, don't see the point in switching to Howard Webb to discuss pointless offside decisions during the action. They tried this with Mark Halsey before and it didn't work so why are they doing it again? Backward steps.

    1. Nickofoz
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I agree regarding the Howard Webb part, we don't need him to see if a ref/linesman has made a correct or incorrect call.

  5. Del Griffith
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anybody know Triggerlipps fpl ID, think I'll WC and copy it! 😆

    1. Breadbin
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He'll be happy.

  6. #WinterIsNotComing
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Darmian will earn lot of pts if utd sign a world class CB

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Smalling is a World Class CB.

      1. Seb Wassell
        11 years, 2 months ago

        HA

      2. @BigChrisso
        11 years, 2 months ago

        think he's talking about the other CB spot

      3. #WinterIsNotComing
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Seriously? I mean someone like Ramos or Otamendi.

  7. Jas aka The age of Ozil is …
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku (c)

    You know why I'm here

  8. Jay_
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Last minute transfers :

    Schmeichel Martin Gomez > Mccarthy Targett Darmian, confirmed transfers but not team, now Darmian sitting on bench with 8 points 🙁 Leicester cleanie and Norwich to win to nil will be a sickener

    1. inter the wild
      11 years, 2 months ago

      you won't do that again eh

  9. Gunners n' Roses
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So my guess that Darmian would be the first bandwagon turned out to be right!

    1. @BigChrisso
      11 years, 2 months ago

      you riding shotgun?

  10. Alan The Llama
    11 years, 2 months ago

    If anyone hasn't seen Bournemouth play, they make Arsenal look like route one. Imagine watching a basketball team where there is no shot clock. Like Rogers' Swansea on steroids.

    1. Shipstontrev
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Got them 98 goals last year!

    2. Somalion
      11 years, 2 months ago

      1-0 Villa

      1. Shipstontrev
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Naughty 😉

        1. Somalion
          11 years, 2 months ago

          😉

  11. PhoggyRatherGroggy
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Luke Shaw looks like he's going to be great this season! Very attacking.... I think him and Darmian will be the best picks on United

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      11 years, 2 months ago

      And Smalling

  12. joinho
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone got the link/id for Simon March's FPL team?

      1. joinho

  13. Milner4eva

  14. Drip Doctor

    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney can barely speak.

    1. Jax
      11 years, 2 months ago

      needs to a few more bleep tests

    2. The Banter Panther
      11 years, 2 months ago

      He's just played a full 90min game, I'd be a little out of breath atleast!

  15. halnone
    11 years, 2 months ago

    especially Ritchie and Wilson!

    1. Shipstontrev
      11 years, 2 months ago

      +Ritchie

    2. The Banter Panther
      11 years, 2 months ago

      wilson!

  16. HuttonDressedasLahm
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Damn
    Wish I'd gone for draft 53.45 when I had Darmian and Smalling double up

    Scheiderlin = CSs

  17. World XI
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So who got the baps?

    1. Root
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Defenders

    2. CaTriEm
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Smalling 3
      Darmian 2
      Romero 1

      (I think.)

      1. Dynamic Duos
        11 years, 2 months ago

        This

  18. CaTriEm
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of Rooney's assist being revoked?

    1. Del Griffith
      11 years, 2 months ago

      why would they do that?

    2. GYM JUNKIE
      11 years, 2 months ago

      lol dont think so

    3. Bubz
      11 years, 2 months ago

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No chance.

    5. Rogue Todd
      11 years, 2 months ago

      It was an inch perfect lay-off

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        11 years, 2 months ago

    6. Somalion
      11 years, 2 months ago

  19. theeribert

    Mings benched. Ah this is not gonna be fun.

    1. Eden Hazardous
      11 years, 2 months ago

      unless Francis gets a red card......

  20. Trotter
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else notice the FPL app is saying xxx Boost played?
    Mine is saying bench boost played and a friends saying All out Attack - but we both def didnt play it

    1. QGOONER
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't pay for that app in a million years so I don't know what you're talking about

      1. Trotter
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I dont mind paying £1.49 for a free game that I really enjoy but thanks for your input anyway.

        1. QGOONER
          11 years, 2 months ago

          I don't know what phone you have but an iPhone let's you create an app shortcut of any website for free, including FPL.com

      2. @BigChrisso
        11 years, 2 months ago

        why pay for an app when the site complies ok on mobile?

        1. Trotter
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Good point. No real reason except that the app can be slightly faster in low signal areas.

  21. QGOONER
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney's in the Dream Team...

    1. Eden Hazardous
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Duh you need one striker

      1. QGOONER
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I know. Just stating how ridiculous it is considering he's a forward who's job is to score goals. It'll change in 15 minutes

  22. toluthadon
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else think Quique Flores looks like House?

    1. Shipstontrev
      11 years, 2 months ago

      More of a bungalow

    2. Eden Hazardous
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Dr.House yes

  23. Scoredelario
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    You know that feeling, when your vice captain did average and you feel optimistic about your captain choice....

    Always the same...

    Cue a Hazard blank!

  24. inter the wild
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Shocking, can't wait for this season to be over.

    1. GYM JUNKIE
      11 years, 2 months ago

      whys that?

  25. Feanor
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Thought about Darmian, but went with Jagielka.

    1. @BigChrisso
      11 years, 2 months ago

      you didnt look at the fixtures did you?

  26. Limbo Exile
    11 years, 2 months ago

    How do we follow price changes these days? I was absent for a couple of season.

  27. icywrists23
    11 years, 2 months ago

    hey do you guys like cabaye for today's match

    1. MattysFantasyFooty
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I will pick him soon to get Aguero in can't believe no one is talking about him though could potentially be one of the best buys of the season

      1. puddingbrood
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Doesn't really have great matches GW7 onward he is a good pick.

    2. Piggs Boson
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Sure. But I like Jordan mutch more.

      1. Alan Hansen's Emu
        11 years, 2 months ago

        YES

  28. foreverton
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Who else has luka(c)u? or Barkley?

  29. Shanty Toon
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku, I hate you. Had to change my team around this morning after I was happy with cause of him and he plays. You know what happens next don't you?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      11 years, 2 months ago

      he gets two points and you laugh it off?

  30. Dušan Citizen
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Now all I need is Hazard's blank.
