The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite is expected to publish a catalogue with more than 100 Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected above 100 MeV thanks to a new detection algorithm and a new event reconstruction. This work aims at revising the prospects for GRB detection with the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) based on the new LAT results. We start considering the simulation of the observations with the full CTA of 10 bright GRBs detected by Fermi LAT. In the future we plan to
more » ... gate how these GRBs would be observed by different subsamples of the array pointing to different directions.
