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.

    Rooney captain. Bad times. Man outside the house drilling and drowning out Michael Owen..good times. It's a win in my books

    Memphis is the only ten I see

      Old but gold.

      He's really playing calm and in control

      Did I just see a clever Silver Jews reference?

  3. The Machine

    Rooney should have hit it it the first time.

    Everyone thought I was mad for getting Rooney. Tried telling you I was just a genius maverick.

    1. Ron_Swanson
      11 years, 2 months ago

      everyone has Rooney!

    Trippier nailed on for next week then 😀

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, what about him? Didn't we have people here swearing up and down he was going to be an assist machine for the Spurs and he isn't even in the XI?

    is it even an assist? if he 'trapped it' for a teammate to shoot it, it would be an assist.

      yes

  8. The_Socca_Philosopha

    GOAL, ASSIST, OR NOTHING?

    1. Drosiah
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Well it's definitely not a goal, I don't even think an assist

  10. Salfpilgrimlfc
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Calm down will be young assist

  11. Wouter
    11 years, 2 months ago

    IS THAT A ROONEY ASSIST???????

    1. Jax
      11 years, 2 months ago

      relax. probably.

  12. Syd.
    11 years, 2 months ago

    The ref isn't having a good game

  13. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Will he actually get an assist since he didn't shoot?

  14. Would an idiot do that?
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney (c) I hope he gets assist

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Me three

  15. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    11 years, 2 months ago

    no assist?

  16. 420king
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Lol all this happiness and no goal/assist from Rooney 😀

  17. stachman
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Walker clearly started his FPL season without Roo in squad 😀

  18. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Really need Herrera on the pitch to take control of the game.

  19. foreverton
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney looks terrible, glad I don't have him.

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed, look at all the owners loving a lucky assist that may/may not be given. He is an ok pick early on though but he is playing like a donkey.

  20. Piggs Boson
    11 years, 2 months ago

    It's not an FPL season without arguments about assists 🙂

  21. Somalion
    11 years, 2 months ago

    It's 100% an assist, he took it in and Walker slotted it home.

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Of course an assist

  23. Chenku╰☆╮
    11 years, 2 months ago

    wtf no roo assist?

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

      He didn't shoot.

  24. Hakuna Juan Mata
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Rooney's shooting position in front of goal forced Walker to make the own goal. Should be an assist for Rooney. I'll be blown if it isn't

    1. PSEBJ27
      11 years, 2 months ago

      So far, nothing

    2. GuillermoDickero
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Exactly that. Were he not in that position, then no own goal

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      That is quite an expression of dismay. I wish that happened to me every time things didn't go my way. Super consolation prize.

  25. PSEBJ27
    11 years, 2 months ago

    No assist lads, just checked.

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      regardless it will be by FPL rules.
      Any other debating is trolling really

    RIP FPL Towers inbox

  27. Duke Silver ☑
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I'd be surprised if Rooney gets an assist for that.

    1. Root
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Why?

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        11 years, 2 months ago

        He was dispossessed rather than took a shot or tried to pass to someone but he's English so he'll probably get it anyway.

  28. Bubz
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Does it have to be a shot for it to be an assist?

  29. Nascimento
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I got Rooney when the game 1st opened
