With the first gameweek of the season now only hours away the excitement is palpable as fantasy managers put the final touches to their gameweek one team and then of course change it 20 times before 11.30am on Saturday. The double gameweek of course has thrown a spanner in the works and slightly skewed the thought process, not that it is always too clear for the first week.
Robin van Persie’s move to Old Trafford is another talking point and one that has a huge knock on effect at both Arsenal and Manchester United. although Van Persie looks set to make his debut on Monday night the likelihood of RVP getting 90 minutes are fairly slim and really this week is probably to early for the Dutch Master.
So with that said here are our first gameweek tips of the season.

Joe Hart (Man City) £7.0 Million Fixture: Southampton (Home)
Petr Cech (Chelsea) £6.5 Million Fixtures: Wigan (Away) Reading (Home)

I smoked for quite a while and quitting tobacco had been harder than you can imagine. I tried using most of the quitting methods and yet not a single thing helped me. Then I found the electronic cigarettes. The smokeless cigarette utilizes a nicotine liquid which is created from only nicotine. Absolutely no toxic chemicals in the least. They have fortunetly made all the difference.
Can anybody tell me, what could likely be the team for gameweek 2. Your ideas will be highly appreciated.
my is cech kompany terry zabeleta diaby davis nasri michu petric torres lukaku subs are foster o shea vermaelen moses cool huh.
Do you get double caotain points when a team has 2 games iun´´n the GW? F.eks Torres, he has to games. If I set him as captain do I get double both games?
Yeah but don't do it. Torres will ALWAYS let you down. Beleive me, I'm a Liverpool fan.
How’s this?? Please Rate :
GK : Cech (Pollitt)
DEF : Kompany, Hangeland, Evra (Tate, Gorkss)
MID : Pienaar, Sinclair, Hazard, Michu (Noble)
ATT : Petric, Aguero, Torres
Should i replace Hangeland for Gorkss?? He does have a double GW… But i am having doubt about a reading defender…
Hi everyone!
Here is my team.
Cech
Skrtel lescott mertesacker
Kagawa hazard allen Ramires
Rooney aguero vaz te
Any thoughts?
I'm guessing you may support liverpool like me. Well, the fact is, we have got one of the toughest starts out of everyone so i would leave big skrtel out for now and bring him in later. As for Allen though, very very effective in real life with so many accurate passes, but in fantasy world, hardly any assists or goals. A few bonus here and there but probably not even a clean sheet bonus with liverpools start.
I think Dyer is the same price as Allen, and I would swap them. Dyer is going to be the main star now that Allen has left and Sinclair could be moving.
My team: Tips appreciated;
Cech
Zabaleta Ferdinand Jose Enrique
Kagawa Bale Hazard Noble
Tevez Podolski Ba
Krul
Walker Clichy Riise
Mata Yaya Allen Hazard
Torres aguero ruiz
My current team
Vorm
Walker, Kompany, Shawcross, Cole A
Bale, Ramires, Yaya Toure, Allen
Torres, Aguero
Feedbacks would be appreciated, please!
ye why gorkks instead of pearce?
First of all good luck to everyone.
I would to have some opinions about my team, thank you
De Gea
McCartney-Kompany-Cole
Yaya Toure-Arteta-Nani-Guthrie
Torres (C) – Podolski – Graham
Subs: Green(GK) Walker, Larsson, Barnett
I'm not so sure about podolski(just have him for the long-run) probably have rooney instead a cheaper midfield, don't think on bringing ManCity Forwards they are rotated a lot.
Any recommendations are appreciated
Guys – I have Kagawa on my squad, but he played 90 minutes for Japan in Sapporo this week. That's an awful lot of travel to play 90 minutes tomorrow…..worried he'll come in off the bench for this match.
Uniteds game isn't until monday. He is in my team right now. Although I am biased being a fan and all ;D.
Some advice please on my team:
Jaaskelainen
Vlaar Gorkss Williams
Nani Ramires Yaya Santi Cazorla
Aguero Torres Pogrebnyak
Subs Ruddy Sigurdsson Tomkins Clyne
I'm not so sure about Cazorla, specially after the press conference of Wegner today, besides that I like your team
You may want to change your goalkeeper… Maybe Tim Krul or De Gea

Any comments on my ‘ten commandments’ and team are welcome…
I am trying to decide what is the better pair: Kagawa and Van Persie (or Rooney -either one) or Silva and Aguero?
Great to hear what you think
Thanks
This is my line-up 4-4-2
Hart,
Colocini, Kompany, Vermaelen and Walker
Cabaye, Bale, Mikel and Sinclair
Graham and Rooney.
play 3-4-3, it is the best formation for making big points. Also, get rid of Mikel, he offers no value for Fantasy Football. Defenders are too expensive, replace either Kompany, Vermaelen or Walker with a cheaper defender.
Rate my team plz peeps:GK: Begovic, DEF:Cole, zabaleta Hangeland MID: Cazorla, Bale, michu, pienaar ST: Kun, Torres, Petric Subs: De Gea, Clyne, Noble, Demel
Nice midfield. Zabaleta is a risk at the back though.
My Team: 3-4-3
Begovic, A.Cole, Vermaelen, Assou-Ekotto, Bale, Y.Toure, Mata, Nani, Graham, Torres, Pogrebnyak.
Sub: Allen, Gorkss & McCartney
Any comments?
Why is there only 14 players selected out of 15??
or isnt this for the fantasy.premierleague.com game? :p
Please respond
only 4 defenders, surely going with 2 expensive keepers is a waste?
Is there a reason why it says Torres is playing only Wigan (H) and not reading? Or is it just a mistake?
My current team is
Begovic
Hangeland Vlaar Gorkss
Kagawa Bale Cazorla Michu
Torres Tevez Rooney
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Went for Michu as well in my side. Think he will be a big hit at Swansea and scored a bag full of goals in La Liga last year.
Excellent strike force by the way…
mcanuff or kagawa for.gw1 plz?
on the tips more prefer to mcauff but emmm …. kagawa on pre-season quited good perfomance and will provide of rvp and rooney on gw1.
Why u suddenly change alex pearce (Reading) £4.5 million to Kaspars Gorkss (Reading) £4.0 million. Fixture: Stoke (Home) & Chelsea (Away) on Defender issue GW1 tips?
yea trying to figure that one out myself!
0,5 mill. Cheaper. Non had goals or assist last season. both high appearence level. If Pearce gets the points, so will probably Gorkss i guess.
