After yesterday’s disappointing start, many Fantasy managers will be looking for some of Sunday’s heavy hitters to come to the rescue.

A couple of 1.30pm kick-offs get us underway. Community Shield winners Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates before Steven McClaren takes charge of Newcastle for the first time in the top-flight as in-form Southampton roll up to St James’ Park.

Stoke play host to big-spending Liverpool in the late kick-off, with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to immediately avenge their 6-1 mauling at the Britannia in the final league fixture of 2014/15.

  5. Mull

    Why is the cheap Southampton defender the only one that's causing problems!?

  6. Jax
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    goal newcastle! 2-1

  7. parkerdip

    This is my 8th season playing and this had to have been the hardest initial team selection ever and is probably my lowest first week score ever.

  8. Mary
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    doubt Cedric is dropped. Just a tactical change because of his yellow

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Wishful thinking.

  9. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Meh suppose Cedric would've lost another point there if he was on the pitch

  10. Nicks93
    • 12 Years

    Gdi Southampton

  11. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years

    Year of the budget mids

    1. Mull

      • 14 Years

      Lol

  12. heylo
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    glad Cedric went off then. Dont lose those points if not on the pitch right?

  13. Seb Wassell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    So was saying Cedric didn't look nailed on...

  14. ihateramsey2
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Janmaat assist?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Obertan right?

    2. Desperate Dan
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Papiss Cisse chips the ball into the path of Gabriel Obertan who sprints down the right wing and puts in a perfectly weighted cross for new boy Georginio Wijnaldum.

      The £14.5m signing rises to meet the cross and places a header into the top left corner.

  15. megatronaldinho
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    obertan shud be released back into neptune's underwater kingdom or whatever planet he was found on and williamson shud just be shot, while we're at it

      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      It was a great assist, though

  16. Rafa Cakes
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Can't handle this pressure and its only GW1

  17. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years

    Obertan 4.5m mid alert! Just got an assist

    1. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not loved around here. But firmly on my radar for that spot

      1. Clintymints
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Pls don't!

    2. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I do love him, may do.

  18. FantasyFootballNerd
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Cedric off! Why? Had bloody great stats in the first half. Tactical? Injury?

    1. arthadox
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Tactical for the yellow card.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Liability apparently. Looking like a second yellow on the cards

    3. RSe
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Red card waiting to happen

    4. EAGLES (0 Chelsea players)
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      For real? You don't know why?

    5. Geordienufc1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He was definitely on for a red.

    6. A La Pelle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Haha great start...every Cedric owner was complaining until he got the assist

  19. HP.
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Why has Cedric been subbed???

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Avoiding a red card.

  20. skeanos
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is anyone else actually considering wildcarding? This is the worst start ever.

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Possibly 😕

    2. arthadox
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I am! o/ Terrible start, yet I am first in point right now in my league. XD

    3. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hold firm , long season

    4. heylo
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Relatively though?

  21. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Cedric avoids -1

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      by getting not getting the 1 for playing 60? 🙂

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Avoids a second appearance point too.

      1. Legendary!
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Swings and roundabouts. Would have been 0 at the end of it all. Potentially a red

  22. ihateramsey2
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I CAN'T CATCH A BREAK

  23. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Giroud to stay on until 70th before Sanchez comes on?

  24. Billy Gilmore
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    No Cedric, no defence 😉

  25. Mane Of Steel
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Goal incoming fellas

  26. AIRMILES
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    I'll be surprised if Sanchez doesn't come on by 70 mins if it remains the same score.

  27. mitro
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Wow Wijnaldum...congrats to people who picked him

    1. LMNO
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i was put off by fixtures- damn!

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I decided to have a punt on him rather than leave my "Aguero" money in the bank.

  28. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    West ham number 10 is frustrating. Pass it to Sakho!!!!

  29. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    How did Cedric play in general? Worth keeping or ship him for Oxford or Darmian?

    1. The Raging Bull
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      very dodgy defensively, not bad going forward

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Good going forward on the overlap. Struggled against pace of Obertan and Haidara. Could easily have had a yellow before and after he was booked.

  30. Royal5
    • 14 Years

    Lol at Cedric lollers 🙂
