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've 16 from 3 (with either 2 or 3 bonus to get).

    More interested in price drops than rises. The price risers won't last tbh

    1. Jolly Good
      11 years, 2 months ago

      good point

    For anyone disappointed look at it this way, what is just a few missed points in the grand scheme of things of this game. We are five matches into the first week of a 38 week game. Relax. We will be playing this next May. There will be good times (Mahrez owners know about this right now), there will be bad times. Role with it and enjoy the ride. Great to have FPL back regardless of a points haul or points drought to start off.

      Hopefully tomorrow's games continue in the same trend.

    Shouldn't Mahrez get the winning goal bps pushing him above Albrighton? Or where those already given?

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

      Oooooo, I want to know this!

    2. GuillermoDickero
      11 years, 2 months ago

      I often find the numbers change after the 90 minutes is up. Hopefully!

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

    27 with hazard ozil Walcott Benteke and Adrian to play 🙂 Mahrez!!!

  7. Defcons are for Kinnear
    11 years, 2 months ago

    8 points from 5 players any good?

    1. Del Griffith
      11 years, 2 months ago

      killing it!

    2. TJ_777
      11 years, 2 months ago

      No

    3. La Décima Chaser
      11 years, 2 months ago

      This Chelsea game is the match that most people are fearing! Hazard/Hazardless is all on this! I am on Hazard so i hope he goes off! He is also my captain!

  8. La Décima Chaser
    11 years, 2 months ago

    I know he got an assist, but Lukaku was up to his old tricks again! Home to Watford may be the most appealing fixture he has all season and by all accounts did nothing!

  9. GreennRed
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Feck all points from feck all players.

    In Croker and don't even care 🙂

    1. Ayew Serious

          1. GreennRed
            11 years, 2 months ago

            I think so. I'm sitting under the Sky box.

  11. Mindless Freak

    11 years, 2 months ago

    Diego Costa trolling since day, good to see him start after all the hamstring kerfuffle this week 😛

    1. Fred54
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Damn it, if he was defo starting I would have got Fab over Haz.

  14. Indalo

    Any price rise/fall sites that can be trusted this season?

    1. ​
      11 years, 2 months ago

      You have to wait 3 or so weeks for them to calibrate to the system.

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

        Cheers for the response

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

      It takes them a few weeks to calibrate usually

  15. Matt
    11 years, 2 months ago

    1. ChildishFirmino and Lallana…
      11 years, 2 months ago

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

  18. Red Devil Swede
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Great, Costa to finish off Fabregas' assists.. Mou trolling us as always.

    1. ChildishFirmino and Lallana…
      11 years, 2 months ago

      i remember last year when he had that bloody yellow "i" button over his name in fpl almost every week, i would bench him a few times thinking he won;t play and then he would score twice

      1. Red Devil Swede
        11 years, 2 months ago

        Yep..

  19. Bolivian Seaman
    11 years, 2 months ago

      11 years, 2 months ago

  24. Fred54
    11 years, 2 months ago

    Hazard will drop like a stone if he blanks and with two away fixtures to come, start planning your exit strategy now!

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard -> Fab
      Rooney -> Kun

    2. Huddersfield
      11 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero will score a brace for the 1st time
