Premier League 2020/21: Gameweek 1

[Rex Stone]

Predictions

Don’t know if anyone will bother but maybe we can set up a predictions game on a weekly basis.

I’m willing to keep track of all guesses and score it as follows. 1 point for a correct result (Win, loss, draw) which would increase to 3 points for each exact score. If enough people play I’d add bonus points for the top 3 of each individual gameweek and crown a winner at the end of the season.

All predictions must be made prior to the first match of each gameweek kicking off and any posts or edits made after that won’t be included.

So for my predictions for this week:

Fulham 1 - 2 Arsenal
Crystal Palace 1 - 1 Southampton
Liverpool 2 - 0 Leeds
West Ham 0 - 1 Newcastle
West Brom 0 - 1 Leicester
Sp**s 1 - 0 Everton
Sheffield Utd 0 - 0 Wolves
Brighton 1 - 2 Chelsea

Hope you all play and best of luck!

Game of the Week

My game of the week is at Anfield on Saturday evening. In theory it should be a comfortable Liverpool win but Klopp vs Bielsa is still a heavyweight tactical battle.

With both sides making high use of counter presses and Leeds having spent big on firepower like Rodrigo means there could be goals a plenty.

Liverpool haven’t had the busiest summer only signing a back up LB so far and looked a bit leggy at times in the Community Shield, with the first XI having clocked up a lot of minutes the last two years.

Also Leeds’ first game in the top flight for sixteen years makes essential viewing.

Fantasy Football

Finally, with the new season now only two days away, if you want to play in the AM fantasy league, time is against you.

I’ve set up an Arsenal-Mania fantasy league and a head 2 head League which requires no extra work and if anything is even more fun.

Would be funny fat frank drop points already they haven't yet improved the defense Chilwell and Silva still out they'll concede 3 goals with ease.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Nice finish from Wilf Zaha.

 

[Garrincha]

 

[BobP]

Zaha looks gutted to still be at Palace.

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

Just hope either Liverpool gets smashed or Leeds gets smashed.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Zaha scoring a goal in PL today while Pepe rides the bench but yet AM told me Pepe who we overpaid 50 M for was a better business.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Red card? Come on

 

[carter777]

That's how VAR should work. Never a straight red

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Foot high but not harmful. John moss is terrible

Liverpool fans must be bored of this even if they win PL. Same line up names like since beginning of last season.
