I've been playing Fantasy Premier League for 7 seasons now and it still remains a good way to follow the progress of the league. You need to stay at least a little up to date with the fixtures and the player form, player movements etc to put a competitive score.
The introduction of weekly prizes also helps to sustain the interest when the inevitable falling down the league rankings happen. To put up top scores, you really need to stay on top of things and have many lucky breaks. Anyway, here's my team for week 1:
I've gone for a different approach to my usual selection process where I normally pick players from only the big teams. This time, I've included Spurs and Leeds players as I think they will over-perform, while Liverpool will have a slow start.
The Premier League starts tonight with Arsenal vs Coventry. Remember to get your team registered before the deadline because you don't want to start the season at a disadvantage.
