An inauspicious start at Old Trafford leads us into four more Premier League encounters, with all three promoted sides in action.

Bournemouth host Aston Villa at “Vitality Stadium” (no really), Norwich take on Alan Pardew’s emerging Palace lineup at Carrow Road, while Watford make the testing trip to Goodison Park to face Everton.

Leicester and Sunderland complete the quartet, with Claudio Ranieri making his Premier League return in the Foxes hot-seat as he locks horns with Black Cats boss, Dick Advocaat.

These four matches are followed by the late kick-off at Stamford Bridge as champions Chelsea open their account against Garry Monk’s Swansea.

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

    I'm just happy I accidentally put on triple captain while on Mahrez and my phone broke

      Calm down. 45 minutes played. People lose the plot so easily here.

  5. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years

    Had albrighton in a few drafts. (Obv)

    Is his place at risk from any new players?

  6. Djerbil
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Had a decision of who to bench next week Mahrez or Wilson ..looking an easy one now

  7. ihateramsey2
    • 10 Years

    Stick with Ritchie or twist to Mahrez/Zaha?

    1. emperikal

      It's been one half FFS

    2. andrei

  8. Nascimento

    I'm finding it funny how many people were writing me off in pre-season as an FPLer because I went with differentials like Mahrez and Rooney and now everyone's trying to suck up to me again. This place is so fickle.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years

      what's happening for the remaining 37 gameweeks?

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      no, they just don't like you and are taking the p!ss for a bet

    4. Tallahassee

      Differential like Rooney?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu

    Why are those without Marez so bitter? You either have him or you don't. Same pool of players for everyone

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

      I'm not bitter. I like my team.

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

        Right but a lot of negativity towards those that have selected him

  10. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
    • 11 Years

    How did Kane play today ?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Very well indeed. Eriksen, not so much.

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

      Flashes of decent play, showed he can set others up.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Good, should have had an assist. Twam around him were poor though.

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Not much service.

    5. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO

      OK, thanks.

  11. Judas

    Congrats to Mahrez owners. Very tasty.

    Im pretty happy with Roo captain and hoping for LEI and BOU cleanies

    How the hell did Grabban miss that?

    1. GuyIncognito
      • 16 Years

      He's not very good.

  13. Piggs Boson

    That Mahrez ppg is double Kuns from last year 😉

    Hattrick please!

      GB. We get it. You have Mahrez. Well done 🙂

        Sorry Lucy, didn't mean to annoy anyone 🙁

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

    LOL @ all the Mahrez owners coming out of the bushes. I went Ritchie instead and will try and stay patient... Him and Francis looked lively in the first half

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

    So did anyone have Mahrez and Vardy. Both mentioned preseason on here as good options, I went Sinclair and Wilson though in the end

    1. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Vardy here

  17. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Literally no chance i'll be able to make up Mahrez's 15 points over the next 37 weeks.

    😥

        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        11 + 1pt for 60 minutes + 3 baps

        No CS when Lens scores 😉

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

      Already took a -100 point hit and closed FPL fur good.

  18. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years

    Who here has Mahrez?

    Well played.

      Thank you

    2. andy85wsm

      Lots - a very nice pick indeed.

    3. emperikal
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Apparently everyone

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Who knew he was so good in the air and suddenly on pens, eh? 😉

    5. Lawrø

    6. OliverK

  19. GlamRock Chauffeurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    10 years, 9 months ago

    At 11.44am I asked the question, Mahrez or Ritchie? Somebody, can't remember who, gave a typically non-committal answer and replied Ritchie for pens, Mahrez for the hole. I went with Mahrez on the hope that Leicester would go all out attack as opposed to hoping that Villa would give away a penalty. I used to hate non-committal answers but not any more. Said just enough, distilled the choice down and left it up to me. Thank you, whoever you were.

    did anyone else bench Francis and play Huth also? if so how do you currently feel? Francis could be on for CS+BAPS 🙁

    1. gdog2244
      • 13 Years

      Oh boo hoo

  21. Every Dog Has Its Day
    • 11 Years

    Does anyone here have Pardew's number? I need to tell him to get Bolasie on.

    Thanks.

    • Has Moderation Rights

    To everyone who knew Mahrez was due a brace did you also know that Ulloa wasn't going to start? 😉

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. Actually. Tinker man was muttering about his lack of match fitness.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        So much vision. Expecting a high finish this year!

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      The articles FantasyFreak put up showed that Ulloa was not going to play; that helped my decision more.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 9 months ago

        Oh yeah? I saw some about Vardy I think but still thought Ulloa was going to start (almost opted for him too). Shows how little I know 🙂

        Well played lads!

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

    Literally would have never of thought to go with Mahrez from the off

    Fair play to those who did

  24. GREENDREAMS11
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I hear that the Leicester fans are asking people to contribute for flowers for Mrs Advocaat. 😉

  25. The Light Knight
    • 14 Years

    4 with seven + Kolarov (c) to go
    Any good?

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

      You captained Kolarov? I love you.

  26. CaTriEm
    • 12 Years

    The only thing worse than the smugness of (some) Mahrez owners is the knee-jerk panic of non-Mahrez owners.

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

      I cannot stand the knee jerk

  27. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    i dont have mahrez or vardy, but i'm a leicester fan and i'm happy

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

      you should have them

  28. Woeisme
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I had this guy in but then I put in this other guy. People told me that this other guy was no good, so took him out last minute for a good guy. Now the first guy turns out to be the good guy and my entire season is ruined after 45 minutes
    I hate this game bla bla bla no chance of pulling back this deficit in 37 weeks bla bla

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      lol, So much this

  29. Mull
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 months ago

    If you find 2.5% of people scoring 16 points annoying then you have a very miserable season ahead of you.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 9 months ago

      You mean FPL isn't already over before half of the first game weeks games are over?!

    2. Eden Hazardous

  30. Eden Hazardous

    I feel frustrated

    My only hope is Hazard......then I realize his ownership is 60% 🙁
