    Palace away would be a tricky start to the season…

    Interesting fixtures I am already thinking of good FPL assets of course the following fixtures will need to be looked at also. Potentially tough starts for City and Liverpool though they are almost immune to tough games if last seasons form continues.

    P. S. It's good to see United have a televised game opening weekend

    We'll know tomorrow (I think) if this is the real gameweek 1 fixture list. To me it looks like every top six side have an easy start – Arsenal excluded. Typical.

    As for FPL options, Liverpool, City and Sp*rs assets looks the way to go. They are the most expensive ones too, so that will require finding some good cheap options from other teams.

    Yeah tomorrow one of the FPL YouTube channels are doing a reaction at 9pm to the fixture list tomorrow.

    Opening fixtures can throw up the odd unexpected result if teams are not at it, you could get something at Palace

    Early announcement then? Nice!

    I guess everything is possible, but Palace is always a tricky team to face. Better than playing City in the first game of course, like last season.

    Palace had a poor start last season and there home form was not great

    Can only hope that continues into gameweek 1! Wonder if Aaron Wan-Bissaka is still a Palace player going into the upcoming season. What a season he had.

    United have been linked with him, though decided to ignore all the rumours there is so much bs, until I see a player signed and wearing the shirt I am not believing anything

    Some teams do their transfer business early, while others (Arsenal)…
    _________
    The leaked list was wrong; Arsenal play Newcastle away in gameweek 1. Even worse!

    And what a nightmare of an August Emery will have:

    If not counting Sp*rs at home, City doesn't have a difficult fixture until Liverpool away in November.

    Newcastle away.
    Could be worse,might even win,considering we nearly always lose on the opening day usually.

    Unfortunately that’s their only difficult fixture all season.

    Crikey Ole could be out of a Job by the end of August if United do not hit the ground running with those fixtures, very tricky run for a miss firing team

    The statue of Rosenborg legend Nils Arne Eggen was just unveiled at Lerkendal Stadium. Of course, he's pointing out towards Europe. He's won the league 14 times (with Rosenborg), and the cup six times. Well deserved!

    Easy to see it was just unveiled as there is no bird dung on him. That will come, Mr Eggen.

    They'll surely keep the statue in pristine condition, washing it when needed! ;)

    A statue is not a statue with no pigeon shit on it.
