Jaysus you are up early.

FHFC

Mahrez or Gradel?

Liam2012

I'm going with this

Schmeichel
Gomez Cedric Francis
Hazard Ozil Sterling Milner Ritchie
Rooney (c) Kane

Subs Schwarzer Coates Sakho Bassong

Loads of goals in the early game would be great. Rarely happens though but it's set up for a high scoring game.

Gooners

I have been changing my team half the morning.
Have Benteke and Pellé.
Henderson or Manéour or go another team altogether?

Mahrez did the business late last season. Gradel is an unknown. Easy one for me.

Mahrez. More certain to start

Lemlin

I see FFS reckon Cabaye will start behind the CP striker. That's where I'd expect Pulis to start him as he was a huge success at Newcastle in that role.

Glad I went with him now.

Little Bubbles

Lukaku what's the story. Injured or not

Where do you think Pardew will play him?

Gradel scored 18 goals from wing in his last season with Leeds (11/12) and was player of the year. Scored 17 with St Etienne in French league last year. Very attack minded winger

Start Francis or Huth?

I'll blame the early morning start!

Last year I finished GW1 at 82k. Would snap your hand off for that sort of result this weekend..

Great to have it back. Fantastic weekend of sport. Rugby, soccer football today, up to croker tomorrow for the hurling. Only pity is the ashes looks like it will be wrapped up early today.

Yep, top 100k GW1 would be immense! 38 of those and you walk the whole damn thing :P

Went with Huth also.

I'm trying to resist messing with the team any further. Will probably cave in before 11:45 and start the season with a completely different 15 to what I have now.

Menas

Its time to put down the lap top and stop tinkering!

Brilliant! Good luck to all, will be out of the loop most of the day with no data or WiFi

Western Pomise

Right lads here's my defence...one place up for grabs...who should I go for that suits rotation/likelihood to play?

Courtois Schwarzer

Huth. Coates. Koscielny Martin (Norwich)

And one from
Joel Ward (Crystal Pal)
Or
Gomez ( Liverpool)
Or
Francis (Bournemouth)

That will finish me for day so really appreciate any feedback:)...
Have a feeling Liverpool will sign a LB

Difderential FPL isn't free but it is good value. I can't see any updates since Oct 2014 though

Update was in play store this morning.
Not fully functional yet for this season but better than nothing.

thewools

Start Deeney over Martin (Norwich) / Coates (S/Land)?

Opinions plz..

Black Menorca

Good luck everyone.

Dr. Bre

Courtois, cedric clyne and francis, Sinclair hazard (c) depay mane and ozil, rooney and benteke. hope deeney on the bench is the correct call!

24 Hours From Tulsa

Lukaku in or out?

MarkSRFC21

All sorted apart from one call. Morgan or Huth?

I took him out because of the injury concern. Upgraded him to Benteke. Went with him, Rooney and Sakho.

KevIRL

Probably going to be asked a thousand times today.

- In Gameweek 1 you cant view other teams the 'normal' way ie by clicking the team name in the league table until the tables are updated later tonight. Instead to view a rivals team before that, click on the managers name in your league (under where it says 'Players to be added after next points update) then click on gameweek 1 under gameweek history

Morgan for me.

Swapped Morgan to Huth last night on advice that Morgan has had a summer of football.

dahat

Still on decision making mode....

Benteke or Kane?

Start Wilson or Payet?


Or just go full on Aguero?????

Western Pomise

Just bumping this lads as I can't look at team from 11am on.

Gomez gives you the best rotation.
Kos, Lei/Sun, Liv/Nor
I don't know how nailed on he is though.

Fantasy Football Manager, free too..

Going to miss out on most of today's action due to golf and Mayo hammering Donegal.

Here's my 11 that will go into battle this week.

Ruddy
Ivan, Bellerin, Huth
Sterling, Fab, Mane, Walcott
Rooney, Tekkers, Pelle

Gone with...

Ruddy (Rudd)
Cedric Kolarov Huth (Coates Saylor)
Haz (c) Walcott Henderson Depay Mahrez
Rooney Kane (Sakho)

But nervous about Depay in the team as I planned to play it safe last night. Otherwise pretty happy.

Gomez. Liverpool are more likely to sell a LB (Enrique) than buy one. It'll be Gomez and Moreno until Flanagan is back fit then who knows
