In The Battle For First

Haters Gonna Hate -8.5 Pitch Punters

Randy’s must have a really great NFL fantasy team, like really great.  Usually Fletchermetrics won’t spit out lines over 8, but that was before I saw Randy’s team.  It certainly doesn’t help Randy that Jeff should be the highest scoring team this week.

Snoop Poggy Pogba -3 TBD

John continues to fall ass backwards into wins.  Zaen was unlucky to get the loss last week, however his defense is an absolute mess that needs cleaning. Unless of course he’s fine with playing double stoke defense and having no backup options.  Tough to be counting on that away at Goodison park this week or counting on that to work out as if it were 2013 all over again or something.  The good news for Zaen is that he gets to play John this week who continues to think you only need 4 players on your team.

Downing Young Boys -3.5 O Boyle Rules

Boyle’s team of misfit toys actually have decent matchups this week, asking the age old question of form vs fixture.  Ken will be hoping that Boyle’s team shits the bed for at least one more week before Mark kicks off his season long battle against Johnny Bluegrass for the Golden Sandal, or whatever crappy imaginary trophy those two are playing for.

The Rest of You

XhakaKhanLetMeRockU -5 Dethohol

Pat’s team is littered with injuries, both minor and major, and in order to assuredly field a full team this week, his squad would require major surgery.  With that in mind he’s still the prohibitive favorite in this one as Eoin continues to vice captain Rashford.  I’m a little confused on how he made a transfer last week.  Like he looked at his team, decided to make a change, and then said, yep I’m all set, let’s vice captain Rashford.  He must be playing this game from somewhere without reliable internet access or something.

5X MLS Fantasy Champ -5 Red Cards

I’m a little unsure of how this spread is only 5 points considering that if no transfers were made, this matchup boils down to Aguero vs Callum Wilson.  Embarrassing.

Pooponastick  -1.5 Car Ramrod

Diego turned his luck around last week, but thanks to players like Siggy and Gradel one look at his team and you can see he still has a loooooong way to go.  Thankfully he’s playing Cooper who’s front line is filled with the forgotten bargain basement heroes of week 3 2015.

Muchados -3 League Average

I have no way of guessing what the world average will be on any given week, and last week I just thought it would be bad so I gave Boyle a big headstart.  From now on this line will be against the presumed league average score.  Muchados is slated to have the 4^th highest score of the league this week, so he should rest comfortably vs an imaginary opponent.

The Big Boy Games

Haters Gonna Hate +2 5XMLS Fantasy Champ

Haters forced into an early Ayew replacement makes it tough to get 2 wins out of the gate, look for the MLS King ‘s 3^rd striker Gray to make all the difference in this one.

Downing Young Boys -3.5 TBD

Having six different goal scorers in your squad isn’t something Downing will come to see again this season, however his front 7 remains settled so the metrics give him a slight edge over “TBD’s TBD midfielders” (in Lingaard and Deulofeu).  Edge might be to TBD if playing time were assured.

Red Cards +1.5 XhakaKhanLetMeRockU

Red Cards opted for big guns in the middle of the park, over Xhaka’s big money frontline, but No Aguero for Red Cards makes the ML an easy call.

They Will Also Play Games

Boyle -8 The World Average

After week one, Boyle’s contrarian team has him backed into a Firmino shaped corner, and unfortunately he doesn’t really get involved with those, so it’s open play Bobby Firms goals or nothin’ this week for him.  Oh wait, he’s playing against the world average.  He’ll be fine.  His team is still terrible.

Muchados +0.5 Pooponastick

Muchados somehow put up 70 points with Fletcher on the field, so I’m not sure what to make of his team, some great pieces some big question marks.  What a shitshow GW1 for poop, should bounceback with a big week from Vardy, unless of course he already dropped him.  If that’s the case who knows what to make of this matchup.

The Oh Someone Let These Guys In The League Games

Snoop Poggy Pogba +1.5 Pitch Punters

When I plugged Snoop’s team into the Fletchermetrics Computer, half his team came back with error 404 source not found.  If Payet starts it could be an interesting captain for Pitch Punters, which is always something you want to be saying about someone’s team in week two.  In the end, Snoop Poggy Pogba is managed by the best fantasy manger on the planet, and I have much to learn from him.  He will very likely win the liga.

Dethohol +0.5  Car Ramrod

Both of these teams have already lost value, and this should be easily the lowest scoring game of the week.  I took the under at 1.  Long gameweek even longer year ahead.  Dethohol’s VC didn’t even play last week.  Not looking good for the sequel to last years squad.   Look for next year’s reboot of this Ghostbuster to have an all female cast.  Car Ramrod hoping that Mktharian starting this week could make all the difference.  Regardless, it will be a low scoring affair, that I won’t be watching.

Welcome back to the greatest English Premier Fantasy League on the face of the earth. I want to encourage everyone to post whenever they feel. Let’s see if we can get this website rolling again like we did early on last year.

To begin I present to you this opening day video:

Good Luck!
