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.

    This is sick. My last season's ML winner has Mahrez in his team.

    He also finished in top 200.

    Damn, he's got skill.

    In Arabic the meaning of the name Riyad is garden. People with this name tend to be creative and excellent at expressing themselves.

    Essential.

    Mahrez is outscoring my team

  8. Pratik

    Got Mahrez, but he's sitting pretty on the bench 🙂

    1. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Ouch. But whyyy...?

      1. Pratik
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Decided to come out of retirement, and people who come out of retirement suck 😛

      Same boat as you.

    Anyone else notice how large the blue Gameweek Points rectangle is this year? No subtlety on the feedback there.

    I get it, I have 5 points, no need to shout.

    1. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      U'll get use to it

  10. Make United Great Again
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez owner here. Yes we've done well, but those who think they're now Sir Alex Ferguson please be quiet.

    1. JamieLfc
      11 years, 2 months ago

      the excitement gets to people

    2. RyanC

  11. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 2 months ago

    1. TJ_777

      1. Jax
        11 years, 2 months ago

  12. Jafooli
    11 years, 2 months ago

    1. Somalion
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Kun enabler

      1. money face bandwagon
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Haha yeah he offers another downgrade option to fund

  14. Somalion
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone know if SweetestPrince took my advice to get Mahrez?

    1. Cevap
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yes I believe he did. What a follower no vision

      1. Somalion
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Always knew he was a sheep.

        1. Cevap
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Hahaha sweetest sheep is the new name

    2. Nascimento
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I was the one who told everyone about him. I invented Rooney too.

      1. Cevap
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I'm sure you did. Go crawl back in your hole please

        1. Nascimento
          11 years, 2 months ago

          Not my fault you didn't listen to me. Plenty did.

          1. Cevap
            11 years, 2 months ago

            Hahahhaa too funny.

      2. Somalion
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Think it's disgraceful you ignore my contribution, you wanted to buy Sessegnon.

        1. Nascimento
          11 years, 2 months ago

          You said Glenn Whelan would sign for Utd and play as the lone striker. I'll try finding the bookmark later.

      3. Paganoi
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Because no one else saw him preseason. Get over yourself mate.

  15. The Pep Revolution
    11 years, 2 months ago

    A poor start for me but Sterling and Walcott will make up for it 😉

  16. PINKFISH (SANCTIONED AND GA…
    11 years, 2 months ago

    MAHHHHRReeezzzzzz

    Aint got him.

    1. kalmoffit
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Who has?

  17. Ziro Becomes One
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Eh! Saw the Lei goals. Both were no fault of the defence and the PK is well, a PK. Am a Panti owner and happy to keep him till GW6 at least.

  18. Lord Dragon
    11 years, 2 months ago

    So my Panti - PvA double up isn't looking too hot right now...

    1. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Next fixtures are better

      1. GuyIncognito
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Sunderland don't have good fixtures, they are the good fixture.

      2. Lord Dragon
        11 years, 2 months ago

        I hope so, though I had counted on Leicester as a 'better' fixture.

  19. spotfixers
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I missed the Utd game. Was Depay worth keeping?

    1. Epic Fail
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Looked like he had potential though a little off the pace at times.

    2. Make United Great Again
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No need to jerk those knees. I'd keep

    3. AIRMILES
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Bit of a dull match. Not much went on. Depay looked okay, but hard to say. Darmian looked good. Smalling looked good. Young wasn't bad either.

    4. La Décima Chaser
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, he showed signs of being much better in the future. Had a shot from around 9 yards that he could have done better with and Mata took a FK on the outside of the box that anywhere else (more central) I expect Depay would have taken. I would keep him.

  20. icywrists23
    11 years, 2 months ago

    oh congrats for the people that picked mahrez because he was on the scout picks

  21. EOS
    11 years, 2 months ago

    hazard + vardy or mahrez + costa?

    1. RyanC
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Mahrez + Mahrez

  22. Studgie G
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Writes down on notepad Pick a 11 consisting of Arsenal/Chelsea/City/Pool players then WC in gw2 for next season.

  23. Jax
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone surprised by sunderland's defence? kaboul? coates? both awful.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I fancied a third consecutive 0-0.

      1. Jax
        11 years, 2 months ago

        nah was never gonna happen imo. prediction was 1-0 leicester.

    2. BRONALDINHO
      11 years, 2 months ago

      more of the same please

    3. Captain Peacock
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Not in the slightest. Dick gave them a new manager bounce, then back to the same old Sunderland.

    Advocaat's half time team talk went something like this:

  27. andy85wsm

    Community scout pick team has Mahrez

    1. Nascimento
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I advised it.

    2. Ziro Becomes One
      11 years, 2 months ago

      So long Fuzzy. Well tried.

  28. La Décima Chaser
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I wouldn't be surprised if Everton come back and win that game! By all accounts Watford have scored, but Eeverton were by far the better team before the game and have just been misplacing key passes afterwards.

  29. puddingbrood
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Damn why did I take both Mahrez and Vardy out.

    1. Captain Peacock
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I hope you learned a lesson - don't underestimate the Tinkerman!
