Just under week until the new premier league season kicks off & pre-season fixtures have been giving us all a taste of what to expect from newbies & oldies alike.
The summer has also seen some big managerial changes with Pep now sailing the City ship (careful how you say that), Koeman peddling toffees & the return of The Spacial One, who, even before the season’s begun, has been facing calls to be jailed for ignoring Bastian Schweinsteiger as he prep’s Ruggy’s red devils for the off.
Now Big Sam’s powerpoint skills are good enough, he’s been seconded to the England post, allowing the return of Moyes to the premier league following his unparalleled success in Spain last season.
So the scene is set. Gary Lineker has washed his best pants for match of the day & Leicester will begin their defence of the title this coming weekend.
In the FPL, some new faces too, as the Eleven Imaginary Boys welcome @gongoro73’s Throw Your Foot FC who make their debut this season.
No changes this term for the IGM, but the biggest change for this season is the inclusion of the Blood Brothers & Sisters who’s 11 strong band of Eskimos set out on a m*****n (see what I did there) for world domination *insert maniacal laugh here*.
BB&S currently reside on their facebook group. It’s a closed group, so if any of you would like to join & meet your opponents & even strike up new friendships, drop a PM to me (mav787) and i'll arrange access
& as always, we’re happy to welcome the BB&S to the forum to join in the GW chat & general nonsense
GW threads will still alternate between TheCureCommunity & MyHeartland for those who don’t want to sell their souls to The Zuck.
In a hark back to our goth glory days (& a 20 character limit), the new, extended league has taken on the moniker “The Big Hair League� .
So, brush up your boots, tighten your studs, slice your half time oranges & don’t forget the pies.
Let’s meet the teams
Welcome everyone to the Fantasy Premier League season 2016/17
