FPL Gameweek 1 tips: From team budget to ‘no Salah’

With Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) days away, we’re welcoming back our stellar team of Pro Pundits, Hall of Famers and guest contributors for the new campaign.

Our writers will be providing regular articles and team reveals throughout the new season, with only Premium Members able to access every single one.

Next up is two-time Indian FPL champion Lateriser, who offers some tips ahead of 2022/23. You can read his Gameweek 1 team draft here.

How the unlimited World Cup transfers have changed Lateriser's strategy

Before the new season started, I wanted to write about a few macro/generic things that are on my mind. These are just some overview thoughts that I have had and have generally served me well.

DON’T SPREAD FUNDS TOO MUCH

I think it’s advisable not to spread your Fantasy Premier League funds too much. Try compressing as much money as possible into 11-12 players. I think this can be achieved quite comfortably because the likes of Andreas Pereira (£4.5m) and Neco Williams (£4.0m) are perfectly playable bottom-price options that can mostly sit on your bench.

This should make it easier/take fewer transfers to get to players you like or want and I’ve found it’s always better to focus your transfers and cash on the pitch. Our benches may be of less worth than usual due to the impact of the five-sub rule because the likelihood of your player coming on in a real-life game increases – and hence the chances of you needing your FPL bench decreases.

OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVIATE FROM THE ‘TEMPLATE’ – BUT NOT SALAH

I also strongly believe that this season there are a lot more good FPL options than in previous years. A lot of perceived top-half teams have strengthened, there are a bunch of decent enablers and the ‘viable’ player pool at least seems considerably larger than in previous years.

Keeping these things in mind, I want to hammer home the fact that this year, in particular, there are many ways to skin the FPL cat. If you see a couple of players that you like that aren’t a part of the template, back yourself. There is always going to be enough FPL opportunity this season. I personally never enjoy playing this game too much if I’m not backing myself.

That said, think very carefully if you’re considering going without Mohamed Salah (£13.0m). Simply put, he’s the best pick in the game – in my eyes, anyway – irrespective of ‘effective ownership’ (EO). He looked really sharp in the Community Shield and is a 90-minute man that is on penalties in arguably the most potent attack in the country. If you want to go off him, do it when you’ve seen enough of a downtrend. Gameweek 1 is not the time to do that, in my humble opinion; I did it once and it absolutely derailed my season. My wounds are fresh, which is why I feel the need to reiterate this. But you know, outside of that, play your own game…!

EVERY SEASON IS DIFFERENT

Assume that we know nothing. Every year in FPL is unique in its own way and having preconceived notions carried forward into this year generally doesn’t help.

One of the biggest mistakes I’ve seen FPL managers make is assuming causation equals correlation. This isn’t always the case. For example, a few years ago, many people were against getting Danny Ings into their team because he was injury prone. Because of this, they missed out on an asset who was, at that time, just £6.0m. A lot of people refrained from buying him even when he was a sure thing because of preconceived notions that they carried forward.

Even carrying forward previous ‘bad’ experiences with FPL picks isn’t a healthy habit. Give everyone a clean slate because Fantasy Premier League is a very dynamic game and roles are constantly changing for players.

READ THE ROOM

When the season starts, a lot of us just get into the rhythm of ‘get rid of bad player’ and ‘get good player’ without thinking too much about strategy. Try taking a step back for a second and think macro. Consider which positions you want to spend your transfers on, which positions are going to be glue positions and who are the potential future targets. Think of how long-term or short-term you want to play with your Gameweek 1 team and build your squad accordingly.

Once about three Gameweeks have passed, think macro again: look at fixture shifts and try assuming when you want to play your Wildcard. As mentioned previously, we’re all getting free transfers between Gameweek 16 and 17 anyway so you don’t need to think beyond that.

READ MORE: What’s new in FPL for 2022/23: Unlimited transfers

Because of the short-term nature of the first half of the season, we’ll need to think from the ‘helicopter view’ – as my fellow Pro Pundit Pras likes to call it – a lot more. Identifying potential fixture swings and Wildcard opportunities might help.

USEFUL TOOL: Filter clubs by fixture difficulty using our Season Ticker

One thing in my head is that because of the number of players we will have in our teams due to the pricing, our threshold to Wildcard shouldn’t be super-high. We will always have a ‘good enough’ team with a bunch of assets from Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal. So I reckon maybe wanting to make four or five changes in your starting XI is enough for a first Wildcard.


That’s enough macro tips from me for now. I’ll be with you all season out here, anyway. Make sure you enjoy the season and I wish you the best of luck for 2022/23!

    Final decisions:

    A) Neto + Gabriel (or 5.0 def)
    B) Bailey + Perisic (or 5.0 goalkeeper)

    Thanks

  3. HAMMERTIME107

    Template or slightly differentials?

    Sanchez | Ward
    TAA | Dalot | Trippier
    Salah | Bailey | Sancho | Neto
    Kane | Jesus | Haaland

    A | Sanchez & Neto or Ramsdale & Dewsbury Hall

    B | Sancho & Haaland or KDB & Martial

    1. CapK
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      No city def,

      Sancho only 0.5 less than great 8.0 mid options,

      A) Sanchez + Neto (Leicester opening fixtures not great + no signings - wait and see team imo)

      B) Not a fan of either, but would go Sancho + Haaland to secure premium forward spot

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      A but careful with being stuck with no 5 mil alternatives

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      A) 2 starting 5’s in midfield is a little too much. Personally I’d have KDH over Bailey. Yes, more attacking but Doubts over Bailey starting. KDH. Probably nailed and chips in.

      B) like both options but Sancho and Haaland give you a premium spot.
      B’s tough actually.

    4. who the Ozil r u
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      It’s definitely not template! I would drop Haaland or Kane and put some money in Def + Mid.

  4. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Liking this.
    Ramsdale
    TAA,Cancelo,Perisic,Digne
    Salah,Martinelli,Trossard
    Haaland,Jesus,Wilson

    Ward,KDH,Andreas,Nico

    1. CapK
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Nice team, differential also.

      No 8M mid could hurt if one starts firing, but could downgrade wilson and get there easily enough

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Thanks, 8m easily got to with that Wilson downgrade, maybe after Newcastle’s first 2. Clearer picture on whom is the best 8m midfielder then.
        I keep going back to Trossard, although United in GW1 I think he could do well.

    2. HAMMERTIME107
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Like the differential picks. I feel this season you have to steer from template and take a risk with at least a couple of differentials.
      My reason for thinking of having KDB and Martial over Haaland and Sancho!

    3. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      No Son/Kane?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Would love them all but we have to settle somewhere.
        I decided if I went Salah that he’ll be captained most weeks.

  5. Pep Roulette

    Hey fam! Thoughts on this lineup?

    Raya
    TAA Cancelo White Dalot
    Salah Martinelli Bailey
    Kane(C) Haaland Jesus

    Ward Andreas Neco Colback

    1. FOO FIGHTER

      Template

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Good as it gets for a thremium.

  6. Raiser153
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    A - Alisson & Mount
    B - Ederson & Diaz

    Cant have Alisson & Diaz as I already have TAA and Salah

    1. CapK
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      B)

      3rd liverpool spot better used on Robbo, Diaz, Darwin (in that order)

    2. who the Ozil r u
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      A - I think Alisson is best pick in the game (best points per million last season!)

      1. Raiser153
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Interesting. Thanks.

        If I put Ali in, and couldn't have Diaz, would Mount be the best 8.0 option considering i already have martinelli and don't want 2 arsenal mids?

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Correct

  7. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    For those that want a high quality differential:

    Eriksen - 6.5m - 4.3% - On set pieces

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      In my thoughts. I currently have Trossard in that spot.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Trossard's a pretty good one too. Something about that wingback position that just gets him a ton of returns... Nice fixtures too!

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Do you think Erikson starts from the off?

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            He played on both Saturday and Sunday, so it seems he's being fast-tracked. Two games in two days!

            I think he'll start out of nessessity. They literally have no one that can do what he does.

            1. Scrumper
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              1 year, 7 months ago

              How does Erikson fit in? (Isn't he best in a similar role to Bruno F?)

              1. Piggs Boson
                • 12 Years
                1 year, 7 months ago

                Against Atletico he was a 10 with Bruno moved to the left wing i think. Hard to tell. But Rashford moved up front with Martial subbed.

                On the Sunday he played a deeper DLP role, the one marked for Frenkie, this is the one I think he'll take up as McTominay seemed to frustrate Ten Hag.

                But regardless he roams, he delivers into the box, he takes set pieces. As he said in his interview, he'll play anywhere.

            2. The 12th Man
              • 10 Years
              1 year, 7 months ago

              Hmm. Might wait and watch until after United play Liverpool then decide. Could be great at that price if United click. Suppose all depends on CR7 leaving.

  8. si
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    I noticed Robbo played 300 mins less than TAA. Is this the Tmisikas factor after CL games? I assume a similar pattern this season if so. Was trying to save £0.5m and Robbo was marginally ahead PPG last season

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Injury

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Tmisikas is a decent player and I reckon will occasionally play in league matches. Not worth losing sleep over though.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      in the long term, you might find with the world cup TAA could lose minutes. Every wingback will lose minutes in the top 6

  9. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Bailey or Neto?

    1. CapK
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      First 2 bailey first 8 neto

    2. 15men1cup
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Neto

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Neto might be on set pieces

    4. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Bailey

  10. FPLGOOD
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Currently on this one. All starters above 10% ownership, so I guess this is pretty template even without Salah, James and Cancelo. Oh, actually also Bailey and Pereira over 10% ownership.

    Ederson
    TAA, Robbo, VVD, Perisic, Trippier
    Saka, Martinelli
    Kane, Jesus, Haaland
    Ward, Bailey, Pereira, Dasilva

    Current plan would be to bench Perisic (GW2) and Trippier (GW3) for Bailey in the first 4.

    Do you like it?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Let's say i don't hate it. Different setup but every player is a good asset.

      1. FPLGOOD
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Thanks!

    2. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      No Salah though 🙁

      1. FPLGOOD
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Yeah, I know. I was in a Threemium for a while, but with my PPG projections switched from N.Williams, Dalot, Salah > VVD, Robbo, Saka. I dont think I will captain Salah often enough in the first 8 to go with him.

        On the other hand I'm very settled on Kane, Jesus and Haaland. Everyone is the best asset of their teams in my opinion.

        Do you have PPG projection for Salah, Haaland and Kane? For me it's 7.5, 7 and 7 which is likely the main reason that I'm going for "No Salah". Well that and the other great Liverpool assets.

        1. Bleh
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          I like all 3 of Haaland, Kane and Jesus too tbh. I think the main things at this point are to keep flexible and try not to fall too behind so early.

    3. who the Ozil r u
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I think I would prefer Alisson + Cancello + 5m over Ederson, VVD + Perisic.

      1. FPLGOOD
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Yeah I can see that. Just love how attacking Perisic is. He is definetely more of a winger in his mind and has eye for goal constantly. Personally I have been thinking Ederson+Robbo vs. Alisson+Cancelo. Alisson's injury issues basically made the decision for me.

  11. 15men1cup
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Quick question:

    A) 5.0 Def and Neto
    B) Perisic and Bailey

    1. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      B for me.

      1. 15men1cup
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        cheers

    2. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Easy B for me, but I can understand going A with Trippier, Zinchenko, Gabriel, Digne, Cash or Walker.

      1. 15men1cup
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        thanks

  12. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    White or Saliba?

    1. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      White more nailed of the two.

    2. sentz05
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Saliba more nailed imo

    3. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Neither for now. Zinchenko or Gabriel (or Ramsdale) from Arsenal def.

      1. who the Ozil r u
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Ramsdale is the most nailed.

        I think Zinchenko may offer more going forward but could be at risk of rotation when Tierney returns. Although I heard he may move into Midfield (replace Xhaka) or Partey (when he is injured or jailed).

    4. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Neither

  13. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Currently on this. Any improvements? Gabriel may become Walker or White to save 0.5.

    Ward
    TAA, Cancelo, Gabriel, Trippier
    Salah, Bowen, Saka, Bailey
    Kane, Jesus

    (Sanchez, Neco, Andreas, Archer)

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Maddison or Mount over Bowen.

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Chelsea haven’t convinced me so far and there are all sorts going on at Leicester. I think people are slightly ignoring Bowen because he has City first. Fixtures afterwards look decent.

    2. Irish Villan 1985
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Love this team, does no City attack worry you? Especially with Bournemouth GW2?

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Thanks! Doing the horrid thing of booking Kane > Haaland in GW2. City’s fixtures are too hard to ignore. Can always look to bring in Kulu or Perisic if I’m in desperate need of Spurs cover.

    3. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I would also probably save (at least) 0.5 with downgrading Bowen. I dont think he has done nothing compared to the 8m mids to justify 0.5 more and also has City first. This would let you upgrade Gabriel to Perisic if you like that.

      But solid team, if you prefer Bowen then go with it 🙂

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Cheers! Trouble is none of the other 8.0 mids excite me (apart from Saka who I already have). Who would you go with?

        1. FPLGOOD
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          I'm not feeling the love for 8m mids neither that much. But since you dont have 3 Liverpool then Diaz is by far the best choice IMO - even better than Saka.

          Personally I would Probably dp Gabriel, Bowen > Robertson, Martinelli. That would even leave you 0.5m in the bank 🙂

          1. Bleh
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Thanks, I did consider both Diaz and Robbo… Not convinced by Diaz’s numbers and I recently switched Gabriel > Zinchenko who I actually think can match Robbo for clean sheets/attacking threat for the first few!

    4. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Bowen just not a great pick for GW 1 which puts me off

      1. Bleh
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Scored two against them last time they played 🙂

  14. fpllbe
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 7 months ago

    a) Aaronson
    b) Neto
    c) Martinelli
    d) Almiron

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Definitely Martinelli top of that list but he’s the most expensive.
      My order would be C,A,B,D

    2. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      C for now

  15. mdm
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Which option?

    A. James, Walker and Neto
    B. Cancelo, White and Dalot

    Thanks.

    1. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Dalot ruins it for me. I would say B but Ait-Nouri instead of him.

  16. Irish Villan 1985
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Ok, I think I'm done - Rip my team to shreds 🙂

    Meslier

    Digne, James, TAA, Tripper

    Bailey, Salah, Martinelli

    Kane, Haaland, Jesus

    Ward, Pereira, Neco, 4.5 MF (open to suggestions)

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Decent defence and top forward line but your midfield is absolute garbage.

      1. Irish Villan 1985
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Any suggestions to fix this? I don't really know how to do it without losing Kane or Haaland? And not having either terrifies me.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          The only way to fix this is to drop one of Haaland or Kane unfortunately.

          1. Irish Villan 1985
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Thanks Mate, could do Haaland / Kane to Wilson and Martinelli to Bruno? Defo gives the team more balance but I lose either a City or Spurs attacker 🙁

    2. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I quite like it. Would take Meslier and Digne out though for sure.

      1. Irish Villan 1985
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Really? Digne has created a lot of chances since he joined in January though, would you do him to Walker?

        Who'd be your goalkeeper instead of Meslier?

        Thanks.

      I think this depends on your overall strategy - if you are wildcarding early then why not try it?

      Midfield could be great for 3-4 game weeks and you are also more likely to get 4 performances in a row from Haaland before any CL games start and he begins to get rotated.

      Longer term I might agree with Foo Fighter, but short term I think you're good.

      I like it. I would probably only downgrade James to a Perisic or a 5.0m def. Would let you 5.0 or 5.5m for the last midfield spot which would let you rotate example with Bailey (and Trippier GW3&5). Also you wouldnt be in so much trouble if Bailey gets benched soon.

      From 4.5mids I have Dasilva after Pereira.

      Actually I would probably do James>Perisic and take Drewsbury-Hall as your last mid.

    Fulham signing Leno for 3m is crazy!

    Less than FPL price lolol

    Any obvious improvements please?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA-Gabriel-Trippier-Mings-(Neco)
    Salah-Son-Bruno G-Martinelli-(Andreas)
    Kane-Jesus-(Greenwood)

    1. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Mings and Bruno only problems for me. I would consider example Perisic and Bailey.

      1. GoneFishing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        I guess I am punting on Bruno as he really looked good end of last season.

        I can change Gabriel to Walker and Mings to White?

        Thank you for that

        1. FPLGOOD
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Sure, I understand 🙂

          I think your suggestion sounds good

  19. who the Ozil r u

    Gabby or Zinchenko for the Arsenal spot? (And why).

    Best 4.5 Def option outside of Arsenal?

    1. sentz05
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Arsenal defenders offer less attacking returns imo - someone like Trippier will get you more points. Best 4.5 is Saliba atm.

      1. who the Ozil r u
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Not a bad shout. If Maddison goes to Newcastle do you think it will affect Trippier’s potential?

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          It will yes.

    2. FPLGOOD
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I like Zinchenko more but Gabriel possibly more secure. I guess Zinchenko will take Xhaka's place when Tierney is back.

      Dalot from 4.5m defs for me.

      1. who the Ozil r u
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        I was thinking the same thing. Zinchenko could offer OOP potential

  20. The Red Devil

    Would you downgrade son to a 8.0 mid to upgrade defence? Like dunk to cancelo, raya to Ramsdale & white to perisic?

      Not liking Martial and Ronaldo is going to make the dressing room stink of shite because of him wanting to leave. If he stays it is end game for UTD's season.

      1. HAMMERTIME107
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Haaland and Sancho or Martial and KDB ??

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 7 months ago

          Are you a UTD supporter lol

          1. HAMMERTIME107
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Far from it, just want one of their attackers in there as I do actually feel they will do alright this season. They are differential picks

          2. Igor Biscan
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 7 months ago

            Yes, I would avoid United if Ronaldo is still there.

    This is my team:
    Ramsdale (Ward)
    Robbo, TAA, Cancelo, Trippier (Neco)
    Salah, Bailey, XXXX, XXXX, (Andreas)
    Kane, Jesus (Greenwood)

    Just need the last 2 mids with £14m budegt, Thoughts??

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Give us options?

      1. fpllbe
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Mount & maybe martinelli/neto/aaronson were my thoughts. (im a leeds fan so would love a leeds player if justified)

        Or saka and one of the listed above.

        Looking for a £8m, then £6/£5.5.

    2. Raiser153
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Diaz & Martinelli

      1. fpllbe
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 7 months ago

        already have 3 liverpool, so who would you change robbo too? would also give more funds for a potentially more expensive mid

  27. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Which way is the best to spend 0.5 here? Focus is on nailedness
    A) White > Gabriel
    B) Botman > Trippier
    C) Neto > Martinelli

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      B

    2. fpllbe
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 7 months ago

      yeah id go B, more chance more attacking returns

  28. Admiral Benson

    Do you think 2 x £8.0m midfielders is too much and ruins the balance? Thanks

    Meslier (Ward)

    How template are we talking here, Basic template or Template McTemplateson?
    I think I am done......

    Ward, (Sanchez)
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Perisic (Nico)
    Salah, Mount, Martinelli, Bailey (Andreas)
    Kane, Jesus (Archer)

    The only 2 I an thinking of changing is Mount. I have Martinelli and keeping him, so not Saka. I have Triple l'pool so no Diaz.....real choices is Maddison, or a City mid.......any thoughts or GTG?
