Teams most likely to perform well in the opening weeks of Premier League Fantasy Football

Premier League: Manchester United Champions 2009

The season opening matches usually offer many surprises but there are couple of teams whose first opponents should be easily beaten. The best team to buy players from considering the first few gameweeks is definitely Manchester United. Birmingham, Burnley and Wigan should all be easy wins for last years champions. I also believe Manchester City will be at 6 points after first three gameweeks. And the reason they only have 6 points, instead of 9, is that they don't have a match in gameweek 2.

Seven other teams that don't play on gameweek 2 are Arsenal, Aston Villa, Blackburn, Bolton, Everton, Fulham and West Ham Utd. Of course they get to play these matches some other fantasy premier league gameweeks, and then these teams' players will be worth their weight in gold.

Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 1 Fixtures

Chelsea v Hull City
Aston Villa v Wigan
Blackburn v Man City
Bolton v Sunderland
Portsmouth v Fulham
Stoke City v Burnley
Wolves v West Ham
Everton v Arsenal
Man Utd v Birmingham
Tottenham v Liverpool

It's going to be tough opening for some teams. But for example Chelsea and ManU are clear favourites. I'm also waiting big things from Manchester City and they should win Blackburn by a wide margin. New teams Burnley, Wolverhampton and Birmingham are going to have a lot to show, so there might surprises. Especially Wolves are going to be tough to beat at their home field. More detailed previews from interesting games coming little later.
