The final fixture of Gameweek 1 takes place at 16:30 BST as Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford.
There weren’t too many shocks upon the release of the teamsheets but perhaps the headline news was that both Mason Mount (£6.0m) and Ross Barkley (£6.0m) – rather than one or the other – start together in Frank Lampard’s first Premier League starting XI as Chelsea manager.
Christian Pulisic (£7.5m) is the man to make way, with the USA international dropping to the bench.
Pedro (£7.0m) completes the trio of attacking midfielders lining up behind lone striker Tammy Abraham (£7.0m).
N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) is only fit enough for a place on the bench, while Willian (£7.0m) and Antonio Rudiger (£6.0m) miss out.
Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (both £5.5m) are handed their competitive United debuts but Daniel James (£6.0m) is only a substitute.
Andreas Pereira (£5.0m)
An ‘out of position’ Anthony Martial (£7.5m) is reportedly set to lead the line.
Budget FPL forward Mason Greenwood (£4.5m) is on the bench, meanwhile.
Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, Emerson, Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount, Barkley, Pedro, Abraham.
Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Maguire, Lindelof, McTominay, Pereira, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

9 days, 13 hours agoThey amount of people with 65+ pts talking about wildcards and hits is absurd. If you had the essentials going into GW1 and good team structure, don't react to the fact your OR is 1M. There are a bunch of players using TC, BB, and fielding 1 GW squads. Stay the course. You’ll be happy that you did.
