Attentions now turn to the Etihad where Pep Guardiola makes his Premier League bow.

David Moyes’ Sunderland are the guests and potential party poopers, although the odds do seem stacked against them.

The Black Cats are in transition under their new manager, while City boast such attacking riches there can be no doubt that they head into today’s clash as overwhelming favourites.

Expectant Fantasy managers will be looking to Sergio Aguero to capitlise – the Argentine heads into the teatime kick-off as the most popular captain choice in the Gameweek and with over 40% ownership.

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

    Zlatan to get the first brace of the season...

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Leg brace?

      1. meerlight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        plenty at hull seem to already have a leg brace club going on

    2. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Could well do

  2. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    52 after BPS with Valencia, Firmino, Hazard and Costa to go

    Not too shabby

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Indeed

    2. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Very nice. It's been a good start for lots on here which is nice.

    3. phace
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Decent, can see Costa grabbing at least one on Monday.

    4. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, I usually start poorly, but I'm happy tonight

    5. Hibbo

      • 13 Years

      Well done Bowstring.

      Some super scoring by the Irish Contingent.

    6. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      51 with exact same 4 left. High fives your gloopy fin

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Actually Zlatan to your Costa

  3. SuperMario
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Have gone through a good few pages looking for the bonus points and the stickies etc.

    Am I missing something?

    Can't see how you guys also found them on the FPL site also!? Any guidance appreciated

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Click on the scores on fpl site

    2. Clumsy Sakho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Click on each fixture and it gives BPS

    3. Vedas
      • 10 Years

      Replied on the previous page.

      1. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        appreciate Vedas

    4. phace
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      FPL Official Site > Fixtures > Click a game

      Highest # in brackets = 3 pts, 2nd = 2, 3rd = 1 (i think)

      1. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        thanks all, it works on a laptop but not in the app it seems!! That explains why I wasn't able to use it..

  4. phace
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    55 pts with baps and Hazard & Valencia still to play.
    20 points on the bench.

    Already given Gray the boot.

    Not too bad I don't think?

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not too bad but why so knee-jerky on Gray?

      1. phace
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He was abysmal, but I had Negredo in last night and swapped him for Gray last minute. Think the GW1 emotions got to me. Poor FPL discipline.

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Very good. A bit kneejerky on the transfer though.

  5. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This year is one of the most successful FFS GW1 templates

    1. QueefParkRangers
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not as fun, when every squeezed 9.0 to put Walcott in last year and he was on the bench.

    2. Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      this

  6. Keno
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Site for rises/falls?

    1. Don't think there's any working this early

  7. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    56 with Valencia, Hazard, Firminho and Rooney to play.

    Was lucky enough for some last minute tinkering to pay off. 🙂

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Actually 59, oopsie!

  8. Sheeeit
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Are we predicting Diomante price hike? He just looks like casual gold dust.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mate he's a great pick regardless

  9. El Patron
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    With Vardy off penalties there´s no point keeping him, better options.

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      But who? I own him and was disappointed today, but he had some chances and no other striker has really impressed this week. Unless someone looks impressive tomorrow or Monday, I'm holding. A carried transfer will be useful for GW3.

      1. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        exact same thinking... annoying he isn't on pens and that does lessen his appeal but 2 FT for GW 3 would be nice to see who stands out and potentially allow to upgrade a Mid like Townsend to someone like Payet/ Pogba or Firming Im thinking....

  10. Amazing that you can't all these claims of high scores 😕

    1. Check =;

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Just need a link.

  11. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    At the moment, Gray is a prime candidate to leave my team.

    Llorente or Carroll or Negredo ?

    1. Dickie1898
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm staying strong, giving him another week and the picture may clear up for an obvious replacement.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I agree that time will give us more clear picture. It's a prime time for playing the price though.

    2. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      See how Carrol plays tomorrow

  12. â­ Bemba_Da â­
    • 15 Years

    All the gloaters are here 🙄

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      was just about to post my score ðŸ™

      1. 78 with 6 players tomorrow?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Almost. Much better start than I could imagined

      2. Essan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Mine would only cheer a lot of people up .... So I wont 😛

    2. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The gloaters have just as much right as the moaners imo

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I don't mind gloaters it's the humble braggers who are the annoying ones .

      2. Its GW1. Being reserved is the order of the day

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Come on Bemba, don't be sour! Everyone gets their moment in the sun.

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I post bad GW scores very often.

  13. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Feeling distinctly underwhelmed by today's games, but can't complain about 41 points with three three to play. Wasn't last year's opening weekend a bit flat for non Leicester owners? I seem to remember getting something like 30 points and being grateful for a Rooney(c) assist. No big scorers out there yet this week.

  14. Clumsy Sakho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who's the Malouda triangle in regulars league?

  15. Cecil The Lion
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Keep Bojan against this City defence?

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Trae44
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes didn't Arnie tear them apart last season too?

      1. Cecil The Lion
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Yes he did

  16. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    No Foster, Redmond or Lamela ðŸ™

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      But no real damage done either. If you score poorly this week, you won't lose lots of ground and have the breathing space to assess things after week 2.

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed. Not too much damage done...

  17. Dickie1898
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    anyone essential to bring in or drop at this point? I'm staying strong this week bar injuries, i hope.

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      None imo

  18. ceerus
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    average?

    1. Clumsy Sakho
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      23 apparently

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I can't work out how it's so low.

        1. UshFPL
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal still to play

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Low 20s

  19. *sigh*
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Had practically given up on finding a decent starting 4.0 defender but Love, love changes everything.

    1. Clueless24
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      unlikely, city will get minimum 30 points a match

  24. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Probably been asked a lot but when will be be able to see the teams of other people in our leagues?
