The 08/09 Fixtures for the English Premier League were released today so why not get the thread rolling for the upcoming season!

My Predictions for the 08/09 Season:
Champions: Chelsea
Champion's League: Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool
FA Cup: Manchester United
League Cup: Chelsea
UEFA Cup and/or Intertoto: Everton, Tottenham
Relegation: Fulham, Hull City, Stoke City
As soon as the Fantasy Premier League is ready to go i will post up the details here. |

How long does it usually take until the Fantasy Premier League is ready after the Fixtures are released? Not that I'm impatient ... ;-) |

I would imagine it will be sometime near the end of July or early August.
I will probably end up missing the start of the season as i will be away on holidays! |

Website: Fantasy Premier League
League: Suikox League: 65-30
I know it is early but what the hell! You will have unlimited transfers up until the deadline of GameWeek One.
Let me know if there are any problems joining the League. All you have to do is re-confirm your registration. |

I'll withhold on making predictions at this point in time - anything could happen before the start of the season. Who knows who goes where.
I'll just say for now that this is the year that my prediction of Fulham dropping will come true. Not even Mr. Schwarzer can stop that. _________________

No problem. But did you get you Fantasy Team in early? No harm as there is unlimited transfers before the first gameweek.
I will miss the first few weeks of the season so I will have my team ready to go! Hopefully! |

Haven't done that yet, but I suppose I'll probably get my account up within the next week or so. Hopefully.
And another short prediction: Let me just say that it might be more than a 2-horse race this year if Liverpool actually get Barry and Keane, and if Arsenal sign someone really, really good. _________________

Yeah, it should be an interesting year!
Manchester United seem to be at a stand still in the Transfer Market and looks like they will need a no.2 with Carlos set for Portugal. As for Ronaldo......
Chelsea with Big Phil (oops...he hates being called that!) look like they will be a more entertaining side! He is looking to off load about 10 or so players though.
Arsenal seem to be having trouble holding onto players but at least Sami FINALLY signed! They still need a few players though!
Liverpool have been the most active and if they get all the players that they are looking for they will be pretty strong this year. |

I joined the Suikox League. I wouldn't mind if Liverpool was the strongest team this year ^__^.
Btw: is it safe that Ronaldo leaves England? |

I do not know. I have not picked him either! His price is inflated even in the Fantasy League! :*laugh*: |

Yes, I've seen it and of course I picked him, I'm sure he's worth every penny or cent. ;-) |

Well if Ronaldo stays I might rearrange my team.....but that is the problem, I might not be able to as I am away from next Friday until September 2nd! :P
I suspect I will be well behind by the time the first few games are played and I get back. |

Hahaha....you never know! I will have a look at my team just before I go.....but then there is a whole month of possible transfers that could mess it up along with bad performances!
Of course, I will check in from time to time when I get the chance. ;) |

It's finally a good time to make predictions!
Premier League: Manchester United. I mean, yeah, things were looking soooo good for Chelsea... until Ronaldo stayed.
Champion's League: Real Madrid. Real Madrid is essentially the Netherlands National Team + Spanish National Team + couple players. That's a good formula.
Premier League:
Champion - Manchester United (see above)
Champion's League - Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal
UEFA Cup/Intertoto - Portsmouth, Tottenham
Relegation - Stoke City, Hull City, Bolton
League Cup: Portsmouth
FA Cup: Arsenal
Oh, and I finally joined the Fantasy thing again. Go me! _________________
