GW 1 - Matchday Thread

Mr Moon

It's finally upon us. 3 months of waiting, a month of swapping and changing our teams for what seems like a million times. As the clock rolls down to 11:30 there will be no more changes, your team is live and it all begins now...

Best of luck to all for the season. Lets hope it's a good one.

Liverpool vs. Stoke
Arsenal vs. Aston Villa
Norwich vs. Everton
Sunderland vs. Fulham
West Brom vs. Southampton
West Ham vs. Cardiff
Swansea vs. Manchester United
Crystal Palace vs. Tottenham
Chelsea vs. Hull
Man City vs. Newcastle
Chelsea vs. Aston Villa

Argghhh the anticipation!!! Come on The Pool!!!!!

Degag

Hope we might get the teamsheets for the first game before the deadline.

It's kind of scary to think that all the tinkering will stop in 45 minutes!

alchemist33

Another nine months of hoping teams I hate keep clean sheets and score goals!

No chance I'm afraid. Team sheets are only submitted one hour before kick off ie: 11.45am.

BNMC

Great to have it back! RVP and Hazard hatricks please.

Harvey Low Fat Milk

No RVP and the nerves are kicking in. I'm hoping for a comfortable Liverpool win to set me up nicely. Sterling at 5.5m is starting to tempt me, if he's a regular starter then he can really free up some funds for elsewhere in the team.

Kerrydude1981

Nearly deadline time,best of luck everyone.

BNMC

You know what has gone unnoticed......the fact that the site hasn't crashed!!

Mr.Prodston

11:31 on GW1. We fight with what we have now lads. Whether it was a last minute switch to Lukaku from Benteke or downsizing Dzeko to fit in Ivanovic. Or even casting RVP aside like a rag doll because you want to pin your hopes on Coutinho and Sturridge. We can relax momentarily before the line-ups trickle in and games start kicking off before we reach a fever pitch as the BPs role in late in the evening tomorrow. Just for now it's over, it's done.



Best of luck to everyone and may RVP and Mickey Turner rip everyone to shreds as Lukaku and Dzeko remain quiet and unsure with their new found popularity.

THIS. IS. FSA!!!!

First year that's ever happened!!!:eek:

I'm awaiting a delivery from the postman This evening around 6

Amirani

No Liverpool or Stoke players for me. I'll be able to watch the first game in relative relaxation.

MikeCork2009

So what teams did people finally settle on. This is mine. No postman....a little nervous but we live and die by our choices in FF

MagicIRL

If you'll excuse me gentlemen, the surround sound is calling.

Dr. Bre

Ha, I forgot to take a pic of my team, and I can't now because the game is updating. But rest assured, my team is great

The Colour Of Money

Gerrard to have a stormer today

Jimmy Iovine

I haven't seen any mention of this before.

Anyone know anything more?

First injury to my team and the deadline only closed 7 minutes ago. **** me.

#Everton defender #SeamusColeman faces a potentially lengthy lay-off after scans revealed he has suffered ankle ligament damage.

Well the shower is calling me, it's been a long, panic filled few days :eek:

Mr. Guappa

Not long now until the first of these:

Ugh... I had ___ ______ in my team all summer and only took him out this morning, and now he goes and bangs in a hat-trick. FML. :mad:

With injuries at the minute he'll probably start.

MikeCork2009

A Liverpool clean sheet with a Coutinho hat-trick and a goal by Toure would be nice to start, then I can watch Swansea vs Man U without hiding behind the sofa....It's like watching a horror movie with the tagline "The Postman Always Delivers" not having RvP!!

I had in on my bench anyway. I just preferred Turner to him today with Norwich being at home etc.

Jimmy Iovine

What a ****ing disaster.

Forgot to arrange the order of my subs.. Hopefully they don't come into play, but I fcukin put Lescott behind Ramage :mad: Wouldn't mind but I was nearly starting Lescott only to take a bit of a risk on Coleman.. Urgh, the frustration starts!!

manual_man

Is this our first FSA joke of the season Jimmy (i didn't jump on the Coleman bandwagon btw)

I really hope so, but I'd trust PhysioRoom. They don't seem like the guys to go around trying to wind people up.

The fact that I can't seem to find any other information about it is weird though. Seems so out of the blue.

alchemist33

Bollocks. I even named my team after Coleman.

You are joking!? We find this out right after the deadline:(:(:(

KevIRL

Decent chance thats a fake tweet imo

manual_man

LFC: Mignolet, Johnson, Enrique, Toure, Agger, Lucas, Henderson, Gerrard, Coutinho, Aspas, Sturridge

Sturridge looks to be playing right wing forward. Interesting if that keeps up Aspas may be a must-have!

Double edit: might also mean Henderson playing in the hole now that would be VERY interesting

McSasquatch

re Coleman; They're saying he's had the scan already, so the injury happened Thursday, yesterday at the latest. Very surprising that we haven't heard of it before now imo. Can't see anything on the Everton website either.

qwabercd

I think the coleman thing is bull. Exact same as injury he had in 2011, down to the wording of how it was reported.

Jimmy Iovine

Right, I've dug around a bit more. The quote I put up there seems to be from an article that was written a few years ago:

Head physio Danny Donachie said: "Seamus has torn the lateral ligament in his right ankle. He will be visiting a specialist in London later this week for further assessment."

http://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-fcs-seamus-coleman-out-2687905

There's a chance that this might not be true.

Subbed Coleman in at 11:29, would prefer if this wasn't true!

Dempsey

**** you Coleman!!

Was going to take him out and mignolet at the last minute and upgrade miralles to a 9.0-10m midfielder :mad:
