Atletico and Villarreal will play their first two games away because of work on their grounds so their fixtures are reversed.

Wouldn't mind something similar to a repeat of Sevilla Espanyol on the opening weekend of last year, finished 6-4 to Sevilla

I'm looking forward to seeing Girona. First time in the top flight. Great fixture for them to start with. How are Valencia looking now?

It is a really lovely town that I only ever saw because of Ryanair! Would be well worth a trip for a game.

Hard to say, awful lot of change at the club. Enzo Perez and Diego Alves are gone (for a combined 3.3m Dead), new manager, some players could still leave. Oh, and Negredo is back because nobody will take him. A season without them being in a relegation battle for most of the season would be nice at this stage

I'm waiting (dreading) the day Newcastle are linked with him.

In all fairness he usually starts the season well then drifts off if

Girona are getting quite a few City fringe players on loan

Yeah, I see Roberts is being linked with them and Jason Denayer publicly stated he didn't want to go there. What is the link? I assume that it is through Pep?

A feeder club set up and Guardiola's brother works for Girona as an advisor

I think EPL clubs should be sending their kids on loan abroad. Learn more about the continental style of play. They always seem to opt for other English sides. 

Anyway back to La Liga  - 
Hard to see Barca topping Madrid this season. With Ronaldo on fire and experience in the team they will be hard to beat in the league and Champ league.

Looking forward to the new season. Madrid slight favourites, but Barca are always going to be a threat. If they can bring in a central midfielder to help out Rakitic and Busquets (not Coutinho) I'd have them as favourites. Thiago is exactly what they need, their transfers have been awful in recent years.
I think Semedo might be a great signing at right back though. Looks far better suited to Barcelona than the Barca born Bellerin. He might be able to replicate (to some degree) what Alves did, helping control a game from right back.

Interesting to see how Sevilla do this season.
Lost Sampaoli, Vitolo, Iborra, Nasri, Jovetic, Konoplyanka and Vietto. Great to see Banega back though.

Madrid continue to make brilliant signings..Ceballos is outstanding and appears to have a great attitude. Bit of a risk going into the season with Benzema as the only number 9. Morata was very good at filling in, squad depth won them the trophies last year.

Hopefully Atletico get off to a good start this year. Moving into the new stadium in gameweek 4 might cause them problems, the Calderon record was excellent under Simeone. Could take a while to get used to the new surroundings.
No players coming in for the start of the season due to the transfer ban, but Vitolo signed and loaned to Las Palmas, and potentially Costa in January as well, those signings would leave them very well equipped for a strong finish. Two perfect players for Simeone.

Marcelino was excellent at Villarreal and now he is in charge of Valencia. I hope he can sort that mess out. It'll be much tougher managing up at Valencia than it was at Villarreal. Apparently he identified Nani, Enzo and Alves as players he wanted to get out as soon as he arrived. Two of them gone so far.

And Monchi, probably the biggest loss of them all

Apparently Oscar Arias the lad who is taking over from Monchi was working very close to him at Sevilla since 2013 and was a key member of his team. They expect a smooth transition.

You can buy them direct from the club's website and they're usually not to hard to come by.
