Gameweek 1 of the 2022/23 Premier League season continues at Craven Cottage this Saturday lunchtime, where newly promoted Fulham take on Liverpool.

Kick-off in west London is at 12:30 BST.

Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) might not be the most-owned player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) but he is by some distance the most-captained of the opening weekend, with just short of 3.3 million Fantasy managers handing him the armband.

He’s the only player whose effective ownership (EO) exceeds 100% in Gameweek 1, meaning that even if you have him but haven’t captained him, you’ll be marginally worse off for every point he scores.

There are plenty of other well-owned players on show at the Cottage, with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) in around 60% of squads and Luis Diaz (£8.0m) sitting in more than one in five of our sides.

All of these Fantasy assets start this afternoon but the 20%-owned Darwin Nunez (£9.0m) does not, with the Uruguayan forced to make do with bench duty once again as Roberto Firmino (£8.0m) leads the line.

(via LiveFPL)

Bar the recall for the fit-again Alisson (£5.5m), Liverpool are unchanged from the Community Shield last weekend.

As for Fulham, new signings Bernd Leno (£4.5m), Shane Duffy (£4.5m), Kevin Mbabu (£4.5m) and Manor Solomon are all among the substitutes.

Andreas Pereira (£4.5m) does start, however: he is, remarkably, FPL’s second most-owned midfielder, although he’ll be serving as bench fodder for over 90% of his owners this weekend.


GAMEWEEK 1 LINE-UPS

Fulham XI: Rodak, Tete, Adarabioyo, Ream, Robinson, Reed, Palhinha, Reid, Pereira, Kebano, Mitrovic.

Subs: Solomon, Leno, Duffy, Mbabu, Cairney, Muniz, Francois, Harris, Stansfield.

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago, Salah, Firmino, Diaz.

Subs: Gomez, Milner, Adrian, Elliott, Nunez, Carvalho, van den Berg, Bajcetic, Chambers.

    Pool should buy a RB that can defend and push TAA into CM or something.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      They’ve been doing alright with him in the team haven’t they?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah you're right actually, he's awareness when defending the back post has really done good things for his team. Won them the CL last season, oh wait.

      2. 3 A
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Lol... Cant defend. Clearly overrated,

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just put milner or gomez at RB

    3. Lallana_
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      off one header?

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Klopp disagrees 😉

    5. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes because you know better than Jurgen Klopp

  2. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Allisson really ought to be saving that Mitrovic header though

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      What

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Trent made a mistake, but Allisson probably saves that 70% of the time

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      something roy keane would say about de gea

    3. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bullet header in close proximity. It’s just an excellent goal all round.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Pace and accuracy of the cross did it. Not closed down.

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This!

  3. Kane Toads
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    "Nevermind the Jesus, here's the Salah"

  4. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Trent, Guehi, Maguire, Mings, Coady, Mitchell probably all will be in Southgate's squad.

    Is there any point in sending a plane to Qatar?

    1. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Earn some airmiles.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Just put Trent in a fighter jet

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mings & Coady aren't 1st choice anymore, Maguire might not be come World Cup time.

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Kind of my point, we've had players in and around the England squad in past couple of years who cannot even hold down a place at Wolves or Villa.

    4. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Guehi & Mitchell are good at defending ..

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Must have been their identical twins playing last night then? Worst players on pitch by a mile.

    5. adstomko
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Coady won't be

    6. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably only 2 of those will go (Maguire only if he pulls his finger out)

    7. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You did not just put Trent in that list

  5. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Come on party people put your hands in the air like you just don’t care

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus and salah blanks would be classic fpl

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Can't wait ... YouTube will be full of early WC strategy 😛

  7. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    As good as Fulham have been, Liverpool have been abysmal.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Klopp is smacking them atm, so they should get up 2nd half...

  8. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Wow. Everyone expecting Liverpool to destroy Fulham. Anything but!

  9. dansmusen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Guy in my ML have Mitrovic C
    How did he know

  10. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Plan was to go back to Mitrovic from Wilson in GW3 ahead of Newcastle's tougher fixtures.

    But will that damaging 0.1m rise have happened by then? Probably

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Probably

    2. adstomko
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Wilson to be top scoring forward this weekend imo

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        4 nil to Newcastle?

  11. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah C fail

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure its a fail when his EO is over 100% but yeah know what you mean, annoying first half that was

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Feeling ok with Kane (c) so far!

      1. Litts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I also captained Kane.

        Yeah, it's all been on the Diaz side.

        I don't even own Salah so I'm well happy so far.

        However, Mitrovic is last sub.

  12. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    this Palhinha character is class

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      he's not gonna be at fulham long if he keeps playing like that

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Interesting story that one plays for a promoted club end up at Barca of all place 🙂

  13. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Liverpool are going to miss mane big time at times like this, an explosive player who can make stuff happen but also a great finisher who can get you 15-20 goals a season

    No way you remove a player like that and don’t feel it, that all being said, it’s only half time

    1. FPLCEO
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Mane was a freak - so good

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        That three minute hat trick.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You just described Darwin - LOL!

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Agree. Mane is awesome player. Salah looks anonymous. Firmino a CDM. And Diaz not doing enough. TAA has been poor too.

      1. Quality Quality Qualit
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Diaz had the ball in the back of the net, hit the post, and won at least two free kicks, agree with the rest.

  14. FPLCEO
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Final score predictions?

    I am going 2-2

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      2-1 Salah x2?

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1-3 probably, early Liverpool goal and the wind goes out of their sails - Nunez brace

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      3 1

      If Nunez comes on for Diaz it would be even better.

  15. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Salah>KDB now, or wait till later?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Why wait?

    2. Khark
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      wait till after city game but its on my radar

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Considering the same. Salah just doesn't look himself since afcon. Thought a long break will help but it hasnt. He is just depending on penalties

      1. Khark
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He's not cutting in as much, passing alot more than he normally does too. We loved Salah because of how selfish he was!

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Did it already. Also Jesus>Mitro. Hits are ok if for a good reason.

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Liverpool will do well to get Top 6 this season!

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hoping for top 5 even though it is quite unrealistic.

  17. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    All high owned players have blanked so far...

  18. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I think the Community Sheild game made Liverpool understimating this one.

  19. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Really impressive half from Fulham. Very aggressive, restricting space on the wings, Salah held completely outside the game. Great to see Andreas being an actual option

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Im happy with my Andreas Trippier rotation on this showing

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah same with Bailey Andreas here

  20. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I'VE GOT TRENT AND ROBBO!!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      For attacking returns too

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Many do

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Can you find me someone who doesn't please? 😛

    4. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      No way!!

    5. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Stop shouting. There's a lot of season still left to play

  21. adstomko
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Marco Silva is underrated imo.
    This is revenge for the Origi winner at Anfield.m

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's rated just not popular

  22. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Kane and Son owners will be in heaven

    1. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      As well as KDB & Haaland owners

  23. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Gotta say congrats to Camzy and others sticking with Mitrovic through all this template stuff. Almost haven't heard him being talked about in podcasts either

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      FPL wire had a pod on them

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I don't have him sadly haha. I caved to the Jesus EO.

      But I don't have double Pool defense so that goal is good for me 😀

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Damn. You bottled it

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Camzy doesn't have Mitro: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/23489/event/1

    4. Karhumies
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Chickened out from my Mitrovic pick at last moment. Got FOMO about replacing Cancelo with a 5.0 def to fund it. My thought was BB3 with Williams, Pereira, Leicester GK and Bailey with Mitro in the XI. I would have benched Mitro GW1 though so I suppose the original plan would have felt worse, actually.

    5. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks mate!

    6. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Hold on the season is very long & you gauging on 45m?

    7. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’ve been bigging him up all pre season, Martinelli and Aaronson too so if the latter comes true I’m starting my own!

  24. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Terrible start already with Salah (c), Robbo, Trent and Jesus, not even double digits in points.

    Son and Kane have to rescue my gameweek now.

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      U have salah son and kane?
      Have a feeling spurs lose 0-1 today

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Everybody. Literally everybody. Has at least three of those four

      1. Yossi
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I dont 🙂

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You are a maverick anomaly but all the same, well played

        2. Zalk
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Life of Brian reference

    3. I Must Break You

      Tell us more about you

  25. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Alison should be saving that goal

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I agree

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Agreed.

  26. Dammit_182
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Just saying well done to all the mitrovic owners. I pulled him out over the tough opening fixture but after this things get easier. Think he’ll be coming in my squad soon.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      57% of Mitro owned have benched him. Just wait for Andreas to score now.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Thank you! Locked in my team after last seasons insane goals

  27. Zebrahimović

    Mané just chillin, enjoying the Bavarian Sun

  29. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Hope everyone jumps off Salah, Jesus, TAA and Robbo after their blanks

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Won't just yet but Zaha vs Trent 😮

    2. jacob1989

      Impossible to get rid of all without wc

  30. jonny77
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Only person in my minileague with Salah...

    Owning Salah (C) + Diaz, the next 45 will be pure stress...

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      How so? Your country at war with Egypt or summit??

      1. jonny77
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        It's a league of just 4 and the others are convinced he's "washed"

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ah right, tiny sample. You'll come good soon enough.
