Revealed! The Premier League team with the toughest start

Like millions of football fans around the world, Brendon loves playing Fantasy Football. And players can also log-in to the game by logging in via Facebook. Having assembled a Goal Fantasy Football team now, we pick his brain in order to gather a little insight into his selection. This formation allows me to do just that.

Don’t miss your exclusive 16-page football pull-out, with everything you need to know about the 2015/16 Premier League season.

He was signed very early on in the summer and looks like someone Louis Van Gaal has a lot of faith in. Last season’s top goalscorer, Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero, should be in action. He’s a certain starter and a mercurial talent. If he’s used in the hole behind Rooney as was the case in pre-season, he’ll only get more chances in front of goal.

Points can be collected from matches in the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 as well as the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and Capital One Cup.

Well, that’s a bit strategical on my part.

As well as picking players who can cope with a cold, wet Wednesday night in Stoke, there’s an opportunity to select more glamorous stars from the continent by bringing in a marquee signing such as Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi to compliment your Premier League mortals. I reckon players chosen from the other leagues won’t be earning any points until their respective competitions get underway.

I will decide to go three at the back and rely mostly on attack, as Scott Dann sits the bench in my squad.

I have also formed a league “Fans League”.

Several changes have been made to enhance the experience this year, including bonus transfers and power play codes that can be picked up throughout the season to boost your team’s performance.

2014/15 saw both the aforementioned Super Hoops and Burnley make an immediate return to the second tier – and had it not been for a miraculous late run, Leicester City would have joined them, too – but that should not serve as a source of great negativity for the current crop gearing up for life in the big time.
