    Hi @Globster, 
                            Great question, I have to say I agree with @Ross_Scope. I think that Newcastle have by far got the better value for money and Wilson made a positive start to his Newcastle career last night (at the Irons expense :( ) It's hard to say with Watkins because not only is it whether he can carry the responsibility of being their first choice striker but it is also whether he has the service provided for him to be able to do his thing. Other than Grealish and McGinn, there's not really much above average quality in the Villa team and like @Ross_Scope said he has been used to being of BMW who worked really well with one another. It remains to be seen whether he can have a positive impact but looks like Wilson might though he does have a formidable record against West Ham. Thank you. 

    Hi @Ignatiusyork, 
                                 How are you? I am going to let @Adrian_Scope know that you have asked about the Fantasy League and see if he may be able to help. I'm sorry I can't be of any more help regarding this. Also, just a quick thing we are holding the football competition again this season, you're more than welcome to join at any time :) Thank you.

    Hi @Ross_Scope, 
                                  How are you? What a performance by Leeds last night, unlucky to lose and looking really promising for an exciting season, please may I ask what are your thoughts on the performance? Thank you.

    With the laws about fans being able to go into stadiums being different in Wales, does that mean that clubs like Swansea can bring in fans?

    Our first game was a bit too exciting! I think Leeds Inited will shock more than a few teams this season.

    Hi @m_burrell82, 
                                How are you? That is a really good question that you ask, I'm afraid I am unsure of the answer but definitely one to look into. I would imagine for fairness they will stick to what the rest of their respective leagues are doing but then again due to them being in a different country and under different rules this may override what happens. Hopefully we will have an answer soon. Thank you

    Hi @Richard_Scope, 
                                      How are you? I agree, Leeds look really good and are definitely going to cause more than a few shocks this season. Please may I ask, what do you think is happening with Liverpool's defence? I am thinking of Van ****'s clearance that led to Leeds second goal, do you agree with what Jamie Carragher said about it being arrogant? Thank you

    Hi @Ignatiusyork, 
                                  I am pleased to hear that you are well. That is great that you would like to join in with the football competition, we have started game week 1 but you could still make predictions for tonight's two games. You can either access it through the Coffee Lounge under the thread 'It's back game week one- football competition' or if you go to the online homepage you can access it through there. Hope this helps. Thank you.

    Hi @WestHam06
    I think it's fair to say that a certain degree of complacency has crept into his game. The whole backline looked shoddy for me, I can't remember the last time I saw TAA give the ball away so much.

    Hi @Richard_Scope, 
                                      I agree with what you are saying about the complacency within VVD game and also that the backline didn't look as good as it did in previous seasons. I guess there could be this feeling within the Liverpool side that they can just out score teams but then again if one of the front three gets injured or aren't having a good game, a certain type of pressure falls on the other players to score, that said Liverpool have goals in them throughout the team. Please may I ask, do you prefer Gomez or Matip in the defence backline? Thank you

    I'm hoping that it's just early season rustiness for the back four. I'm old enough to remember a time when Liverpool sides thought all they had to was turn up and they would get the three points (Souness era when I was a season ticket holder). That didn't turn out well at all. I would rather have Gomez, more pace.
    I watched the highlights of Brighton vs Chelsea last night. I thought Brighton played well. Did you see it @WestHam06?

    Hi @Richard_Scope, 
                                       That's true, it may well be just a little bit of rustiness and getting back into it. Interesting what you say about Gomez, please may I ask, do you think Klopp will keep him in the back four as his first choice alongside VVD? Yes I did see the Brighton vs Chelsea game and to be honest I thought Brighton were unlucky to lose and the score line didn't reflect the game. Chelsea looked vulnerable at the back and their new signings didn't really impact the game other than winning the penalty. That said it's a tough league the Premiership so it may take a couple of games for them to settle. I would say though if Chelsea play like they did last night they will struggle to win any trophies this season. I mean in terms of goals, it was a penalty, a deflection and a wonder goal that won them the game and Brighton gave as good as they got so I think Potter is trying to change the way Brighton play. At 1-2 Dunk had a free header and put it wide, had that gone in, who knows? Thank you.

    Hi @Ignatiusyork, 
                                  I have left a post on your page but in case you don't get it I just wanted to let you know @Adrian_Scope has set up a Fantasy Premier League for Scope and has put the details in a thread in the Coffee Lounge. Please join in if you would like too. Thank you

    My Team performance against crystal palace at home was poor. Manager blames it on match fitness though.
