The final match of Gameweek 1 see Man City play host to Swansea. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business as usual, so come in, take a seat and let’s see if we Roberto Mancini’s side can be the only team to win at home in the opening set of matches…

Edin Dzeko starts up front for City, with Mario Balotelli dropping to the bench as Adam Johnson takes his place in the first XI. And no, Aleksander Kolarov doesn’t start.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair. Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.

      Going on how the site has worked in the first week, you will probably lose 16pts per transfer...

    I love how FPL even messed up the apology…

    “Fantasy Premier League is still run by the same provider.”

    then said

    “The login/registration system had to be upgraded during the summer – this service is delivered by a new third party provider…”

    Same old City.

    First shot on goal against a newly promoted team after 20 minutes. Sack the manager.

    In other news that one shot on target for Silva means three bonus points in the bag already given this new season...

        I can't see how No points will be deducted for any transfers you make up to the Gameweek 2 deadline (11:30 BST on Saturday 20th August 2011) can mean anything other than what it says. If my pts hits count ...then I won;t be the only one...hilariously they may have to restart again at gw 3. 😉
