Gameweek 1 Matchday Thread

ScummyMan

Here we go again, another season of euphoria and self-loathing, I wouldn't have it any other way

*Side note: Contrary to the image above, Jesus may not feature in the final edition of my team. TBC.*

Similar team talks happening all over the world tomorrow at 6.30pm

Best of luck all, hopefully we're all a bit more this on Sunday night:



And hopefully not like this:

Good luck all, can't wait for a kick off

Today's Google Doogle is seriously distracting me from the task at hand.

sheroman01

Can't believe the PL is back....and more importantly that the FPL is back Team below, I don't think I'll make any more changes. No players for tonights game though

Foster / Elliot
Jones / Yoshida / Daniels / SWard / Rosenior
KDB / Salah / Tadic / Fabergas / Carrol
Lukaku (c) / Kane / Gabbi

DDG
Kolosanic - Daniels - Lowe
KDB - Ritchie - Fab - Puncheon
Lacazette - Kane - Lukaku (C)

Elliot/Long/Carroll/Mason

And out the door, so no more tinkering

Jeju

Had my team picked a few days after the FFL website came back, I haven't made any changes since then, hoping for a settled squad. Foster, Cedric, Dawson, Lindelof, Redmond, Pogba, William, Eriksen, Jesus, Lukaka (C) Firmino. Good luck lads

dasa29

Just finished picking my team for this gameweek.

Foster,
Daniels, Dawson, Cedric,
De Bruyne(v), Alli, Snodgrass, Fabregas,

Good luck everybody.

I'm guessing this is a joke and you know he's injured and won't play this weekend?

DarraghF197

I think I'm settled with this team now:

Foster (Elliot)
Kolasinic Bailly Yoshida (AlexArnold Long)
Salah Fabregas Redmond KdB (RLC)
Lukaku (C) Lacazette Hernandez

Took Km's advice and lightened the defence up and added more power to the midfield.

I'd like to talk about how I'm planning to wildcard on GWX, but I don't really have a plan at all.

Mint Sauce

But wait, there's no football tonight....



















































Had to finalise my team yesterday, working till after deadline, so little opertunity to look at it. Was hoping for a Saturday morning of final tinkering at it but no luck.

Paully D

Finally done and dusted.

Foster
Bailly - Stephens - Lejeune
De Bruyne - Salah - Willian - Ward-Prowse
Lukaku (C) - Kane - Gabbiadini

Subs: Elliot, Carroll, Suttner, Mee

Pretty happy with that. Lots of eggs in the Southampton basket which could backfire spectacularly, but I hope they'll be value for money at their price points.

Good luck all and don't get too downhearted if things don't go well in gameweek 1. It's a long, long, long season.

greedygoblin

Foster
Stephens Otamendi Holding
Iwobi De Bruyne Zaha Alli
Jesus Firmino Lukaku(c)

Elliot Lejeune Carroll SWard

Going offline for a few hours so that's my team one way or another.

Good luck y'all.

Father Hernandez

I'm done & dusted, far too many drafts I wouldn't actually like to know how many I did in the end so this is it:

Foster (Elliot)

Jones, Alonso, Bertrand (TMF, Long)

KDB, Ritchie, Zaha, JWP (Carroll)

Kane, Lukaku (C), Firmino

Hoping WBA can get off to a decent start with Foster, CS might be in the rarity though.

Previously mentioned about Alonso coming in as a 5th/6th MID and he's fairly nailed on, don't see value in Fab or Willian long terms.

KDB a no brainer, wish I had Jesus/Aguero to complement but shurrr look. Ritchie after this GW has a nice run of things and he takes all their set pieces. If Newcastle score a goal, he'll be involved. Zaha could do v well against Huddersfield, most attacks go through him and JWP will get as much points as Tadic for 1 mil less I think (hope). Plan to rotate with Carroll.

Lukaku is owned by too many to not own so he's getting the armband, Kane the same, there's a reason he's 12.5 and be gunning to prove the doubters wrong. Firmino my Liverpool coverage, it's a bit of a goldmine who'll get goals/assists so hope it's him, if he's on pens too even better.

Been a long aul pre season but thank fook it's here, best of luck all. See you for the WC Monday :P

Benimar

Late call up for Nathan Redmond!!

Some say I'm addicted to buying players OOP potential, but in my defence I have Bellerin and Milner.
While in MF I was Walters.

Anyone want to talk me out of this defence heavy line up?

eagle eye

Gotta say that there are big differences in a lot of the predicted lineups between the Guardian and FFS.

Which would you be more likely to go with? I'm tempted to the go the Guardian route.

A couple of instances are the Everton team where the Guardian have them lining up in a 4-4-2 with Martina at full back and they also have Klaasen playing behind Rooney and Rooney and Sandro. FFS has Holgate as part of a back three and then Calvert-Lewin in attacking midfield with Klassen playing deeper.

In the same game FFS has Stoke with a back three with Cameron playing as right centre-back while he isn't in the Guardian team as they have a 4-4-2 again with Glen Johnson starting.

I wouldn't pay any attention to Gaurdian predicted lineups.
They were way off last season.

Agreed.

GW1 will be tough to predict but FFS are usually quite on the ball

Devia

Predicated lineups leaving Kolasinac out so far. Is there something we don't know about?
