    Low team ID makes it look like I take the game seriously :P

    My ID was under 7k last season so hoping for improvement on that this season :D

    I barely got lower OR than ID last season, hopefully the trend continues after I snag a top 100 ID number :cool:

    Season before last I got 20 and it was a horrible season super low is a jinx! Last season I was 168 and did way better.

    I'm new to this level of geekiness!

    I got 4695 last season and wasn't clued into the thing at all, just happened to check back in here post World Cup on the day it opened or shortly after.

    A 3 figure ID would be a thing of some excitement!

    When you have a low ID and you give it to someone to enter a tourney you feel pretty dam cool! It's like yeh this is how serious I take the game I spent hours mashing F5 to get this badboy.

    What price is Mickey Turner going to be I wonder? Ahhhhhhhhh excitement :)

    The break was great but I'm very ready to get back into things. The month of planning only for it to go tits up within 10 minutes of GW1 is one of the best parts of the game :pac:

    Just makes it worse when you try to explain that your shítty ranking is just a temporary blip :pac:

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    According to FFS, the gap between re-reg and re-launch last year was 5 days, so everyone just calm down!

    I saw that, but I still think it will be this week. With the pl kicking off a week earlier it's always been around 4 weeks from launch to gw1 deadline and I can't see them going much shorter.

    My guess is Wednesday. The 5 days mentioned above included a weekend, re-reg Fri to launch Wed or something like that, so 3 working days.

    Alexis Sanchez likely to miss the start of the season.

    It's also the same amount of time for Aguero between end of international tournament and start of season as 14/15 when he didn't start until GW3. Although he scored in both sub appearances and got a brace from the bench after Copa 2011

    The fact that they have an early showdown with Chelsea in GW2 I think increases the liklihood he'll be rushed back for that game at least.

    Already there is an Aguero conundrum! Thankfully Pellegrini is usually fairly forthright in team news so hopefully it will be clearer (but not too clear) by the KO.

    I probably won't start with him since I wouldn't even captain him until GW4. Hazard, Costa, and Arsenal attackers will be the main captaincy shouts for GW1, I imagine.

    i'd wager on a 20min sub appearance gw1 and then to start vs Chelsea after a full weeks training

    I think a lot of people will be using their wildcards to bring Sanchez and Aguero in this season!

    Its possible. We're definitely bang in the middle of the window you when you would expect it to open. The last few years it's opened a day or two either side of a month before the season starts. Keep an eye on the player list that is normally the first thing to update.

    Yeh i'm expecting them not to bother now. Like how UFPL was delayed there was all the hype leading to it then just a message saying UFPL will be coming next season. Would love to see the twitter reaction if they posted from the Premier League account saying FPL was cancelled for a season!

    J-Rod with 2 goals for Southampton on his return from over 12 months out.

    New RB Soares who'll replace Clyne also scores.

    Just throwing it out there :)
