There's a new season and a new expert.
Chris is taking on the challenge from Mark Lawrenson and will try to pick the correct scores for every top flight game against a variety of guests.
"Lawro has left a lot of shoes to fill." I would be a millionaire by now if I were that good at predictions.
Ali Bruce-Ball is a football commentator for the opening weekend of the football season.
"I don't worry about Ali at all." I have big fish to fry.
Do you think you can beat them both? Each game has a prediction you can make.
How will the woman do? Bruce-Ball knows his co-host's mindset well from their time together on Fantasy 606 and expects him to do the same when he makes his predictions.
Bruce-Ball said thatChris is always brave. Sometimes that comes off, and sometimes it doesn't.
One of his rules is not to do the obvious and it will be the same with his predictions.
Lawro was famous for going years without saying that the game would end in a loss.
"That will be like a red rag to a bull with Chris, so I am almost 100% certain that he will predict that Cottagers will beat the Reds on the opening day."
I can see him doing that and I can also see him going for a few wacky results.
I wouldn't be surprised if Chris chucked in some big numbers at times and also some wild results.
The guests who take him on will have a decent chance of beating him because he will definitely take risks.
You can listen to the new Fantasy 606 Pod, where Bruce-Ball, Sutton and Statman Dave revealed their fantasy league squad for the new season.
Adding a listener's team to their mini-league is one of the new features for the new campaign.
Bruce-Ball said that the manager of that team would be a radio personality.
They can listen, but they have the steering wheel and can make their own decisions. The pressure from Dave and Chris about whether they are making the right calls will be terrible, but it will be completely down to them.
To join the main Fantasy 606 League, the code is ahrsf2 and to become a manager of their listener's team, email the Pod.

They didn't have a bad campaign last season, but it was a step back after finishing fifth.
If they lose both Maddison and Fofana, that would be a big blow for them.
I am concerned about how second-season syndrome will affect the Bees if they can get Mikkel Damsgaard in.
The game is difficult to call.
The Foxes were terrible at defending set-pieces last season, but they have some very talented attackers.
The prediction was one point.
The prediction was 1-2.
I'm not sure what to think about Manchester United.
It's really disruptive and new United manager Eric ten Hag doesn't have to deal with it.
It used to be difficult to play United on the first day of the season.
They won't be afraid of them because they were stuffed by the Seagulls. The Seagulls will get something here under Graham Potter.
The prediction was one point.
Awkward opening fixture for United, and I sense an early stumbles in the offing. The first 0-1.
I do not think he is up to speed yet.
The Hammers are my main concern. They spent a small amount of money on Aguerd, but he is out with an injury.
I don't think the Hammers will cause City problems like they did at the end of last season.
City hit five past them there a couple of years ago, and I think they will get a few goals this time as well.
I think Erling Haaland will open his account because the side was not at their best against the Reds in the Community Shield.
The prediction was made by Sutton.
The champion will start with a win and Haaland will get off to a good start with his new club. 0-1
