30 players had opted to continue this game in their
quest for a reduced pot of £932. As the new season kicked off, the remaining
players couldn’t pick any Manchester City players. Four different teams were
picked in this round – with just one player having a chance of winning the pot
in this round.
The new season kicked off on Friday evening as
Manchester United welcomed Fulham to Old Trafford – a tough set of fixtures saw
twenty-two players putting their faith in last season’s FA Cup winners and they
were probably all cursing their pick until the 87th minute when a late winner
saw them progress with a 1-0 win.
On Saturday, in the lunchtime kick off, Liverpool made
a trip to Portman Road to take on newly-promoted Ipswich – Andrew Wilkinson,
Dave Brown, Gemma Jackson and Neil Metcalf were hoping that the Arne Slot era
started with a win and a 2-0 win saw them through. In the 3pm games, Everton
faced Brighton as they started their last season at Goodison Park – Kenny Rogers
had picked the Toffees but a 3-0 defeat sees him drop out. Newcastle also took
on a newly promoted team as Southampton headed upto St James’ Park – Dan Milton,
Dave Nicholls and Tony Smith had picked the Magpies and a 1-0 win was enough to
see them through.
Deadline for Round 9 is
Friday 23rd August at
12pm.
