FIND OUT THE FIXTURES FIRST

So we'll know after a week who are our opponents. The question is, who do you want as the first 4-5 teams to play against you?

The fierce rivals? Play them, get them over with and go on a nice run till December? Not to mention the injuries/suspensions in-between can be taken care of as the opponents left later would be not be the big teams?

The easy oppositions? Get on the season with nice wins and a boost of confidence? Try out different combinations of formations and the new players?

What would you like to have?

I would have the easy ones, take the top spot hopefully in the first weeks, and then build from there.

I don't care, we'll step all over our opponents next season anyway

But seriously,....

Considering we could have a rusty start/first game after the summer break, I would prefer to play a (standard) mid-table team first so we have a better chance of winning our first game and get our confidence up from the start.

After that, I really don't care

Easy fixtures first to get formations and the like to get sorted out, almost gives a good confidence boost.
