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.

    Chelsea defence at 100.8% ownership total and I have none of them. G'wan Swansea!

        ? I do, but me dropping two points is good when the field could drop 5 points on average (if you take into account everyone else with Hazard (C), Hazard or Fabregas and defensive BAPs.)

          Would have benched Swans defenders myself

    So was planning on going Pelle --> Kane, but could use the money to go Bentaleb-->Mahrez

    Thoughts? Too soon? When will the first price rise happen?

      Isn't it just the same people making further teams to get the highest single GW score?

    Decided to leave Mahrez + Albrighton out in favour of bench warmer Tettey and 0.5 to upgrade Caz > Walcott if needed.

    Considering an early retirement already. This game will be the death of me.

    Just had a thought that with the chips this season, it's going to be really difficult to get a good single GW score. Each week, there'll be thousands of managers playing triple captain, or all out attack, etc.

    Chelsea defense leaky enough to get 3 saves, but not leaky enough to concede?

    Courtois' a good "gamble" I'd say

      Didn't see the game, but heard VERY little from him, and Bournemouth for that matter. Pretty bad start so far, should've gone with my gut for Villa and Palace wins.
