Was he drunk when he was battering the opposition in the Copa America?

The 2015/2016 Fixture Release keeping everybody quiet today? Was there a fixture list that was leaked before the official one was released?

Manchester United: Tough Opener! Can't take anything for granted, especially when Swansea turned up and played very well at the start of last season. First month on paper will prove if United are up for the challenge of competing for the League Title.

Crewe: Very strange to start the season with a local derby, especially at home. Could be the momentum they need to get a good start in League 1 for once this season.

AZZY! Any word on when we're getting results?

Azzy I've finally caught up to you in the post count. It has been a long and arduous journey but I come out of the closet and into the light of miracles shining upon my face. I like to thank my beloved hands for not letting me down iwhen I needed you the most. Miky, YOUR NEXT!

Do you really want those sort of characters at your club? Your reputation is on the line here hero

Turn up smacked off their t1ts if they get me 3 points for all I care.

Results and Lawyers will be later this afternoon, if someone sends me my Lawyers. And someone needs to do injuries too.

Ill send you some now

Lawyers now up, thanks to Nando for mine. Now have a meeting about volunteers so results will be anywhere between 15:30-17:00 xx

All results now done. Some teams put a lot of effort into tactics, some none at all, some need serious work. Arsenal v Bayern was impossible to call, every match up was so even and there were so few points to separate the two. Well done both teams

Thanks mate.

Thank you Azzy.

Good game bam bam.

Would help if you were playing him

You were playing Enigma mate.

Good game Olly, thought it'd have been closer x

Ha, I was playing Marky! Sorry for the rubbish tactics guys, will do much better for next week!

You better bambino. Miky will lyricaly wreck you with his tactics otherwise. Miky is my manager of the season so far. Viva has been the flop of the season.

Meh I have no defence so thought might as well chuck the kitchen sink at it - not a lot else I can do with Vidic against Neymar

League table and top scorers have been updated.

Let me know what you think.

Nice job manager of the season so far until I do a comeback and win the title

Thanks mate.

Yes excellent job HM x

Thanks Rich

Everyone may add 2m apart from Azzy who gets 2.5m

The rich get richer

I don't know how Miky has conned you all out of your players but for me, Miky's midfield is probably the most balanced. He's done a great job of mugging you all off.

As I said to Miky last week, signing Modric takes him from "best of the rest" contender to genuine title challenger.

Thought you hated Modric Azzy?

I deliberately played Hazard at AM when Azzy voted as Azzy openly hates Hazard

I wouldn't say I conned people mate!

Oh have you seen the league table and scorers Azzy?

Yeah I noticed his love for Benzema translated to everyone but him scoring when Azzy voted

I do hate Modric, but Miky now has:

1 top class DM
1 top class box to box
1 (everyone else thinks) top class playmaker

Best midfield three in the league.

Benzema was so isolated due to the team's tactics, and being well managed by the CBs. It was one of those 15-touch games that forwards sometimes have when the rest of the team does the attacking.

My only hate for Hazard is for his diving. He's a good player who can run past a player easily, but he is no, and will never be, Messi or Ronaldo. Or even Robben.

TBF knowing your hatred for Benzema I did instruct him to just do holding up and layoffs

Azzy, Ronaldo and Robben are worse divers surely! Especially Robben!

Thanks Azzy.

Azzman what's your feedback on my team/tactics

I love that front 6 Miky.

You are playing my favourite 4-3-3 formation too, with wide men who tuck in, full backs who are forwards, and two very mobile CBs and a strong CM to allow the full backs to bomb on.

It looks a lot like a team I would put together, just better!

Miky sell me modric to go with rakitic

This week will be a test though - just seen Mad Mand is injured.

Can I have some feedback on my team and where I can look to improve?

First choice would be

------------------Courtois---------------

Ivanovic ----Otamendi ----Terry----Alaba

-------------------Matic-----------------

-----------Koke-----------Fabregas------

---Muller-------Lewandowski------Sanchez

Marky - they contribute far more than their diving though. Hazard is 2/3 diving, 1/3 football.

Olly - it was a curious formation but not one suited to Ribery and Brahimi, I also didn't think having Quaresma at RWB was sensible. You also didn't make nearly enough of a deal about Clasie, he's your best midfielder, use him as the focal point of your tactics! Great warm up song though

BamBam - Depth to cover injuries, and Otamendi. I just don't rate him, despite his apparent £30m move soon. He's easily the weakest link in your team and when you're playing Messi and Ronaldo, you need CBs that can cope. I also think Koke gets overworked in that formation, but that's just me.

Thank you mate, I appreciate it and I am happy with my team.

Trebs make me offers mate, can't promise anything though.

Yeah I saw Mandzukic is injured, we'll see what happens.

Tbf my choice was between Maicon and Quaresma - so I was screwed either way

Will keep the feedback in mind - somebody for the love of god do a deal with moi

I'd be interested to hear where people think I need to strengthen. I've tried tinkering with a few different tactics but none seem to have paid off yet.

TBF you've had probably the hardest opening set of fixtures of anyone.

Up against you this week Hero so they don't get any easier. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I don't believe there are any easy fixtures in this league, especially with the quality of squads that we started off with.

I do enjoy this league and the premise behind but I think if it was to be done again then I'd remove Real/Barca from the pot initially to make it more spread out and give teams players to be nabbing from those teams.

Couldn't quite tell whether playing Maicon at RWB screwed you because you thought he was an aging wing back or because he was a CB.

Unsurprisingly with you being Porto, you have the Porto Maicon, not the Roma and ex Inter, Man City, Monaco one. The one you has just had a really good season and is probably your best CB.

Well considering CF had him down as Maicon (RB) I assumed he was the one bale destroyed.....

Maybe trusting CF wasn't something I should do

Agree with this, but then Bayern aren't much worse off than those two, tough to know when to draw the line

CF is an idiot, so there's your answer.
