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.

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.

      young rafiki is a class footballer

  2. Duke Silver ☑

    Mitro has been quality

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years

      Fantastic!

  3. jia you

    I went without Salah over the past couple of seasons so I know how non owners feel...the amount of times he can play below average and still score DDs is scary!
    Feels nice to be back on the Salah train after my long sabatacle 🙂

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Crazy good FPL player

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Think it's a sabbatical... But welcome back

  4. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Perisic owners...you can only blame yourself

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      is there any? i tried to warn them

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Expected the benching but bought him anyway. I think it'll be worth it...

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      I don't think there are many.

      Bib theory from yesterday was the confirmation I needed.

      1. OverTinker
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        This. I removed him after that news too

    4. sozopol
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Still happy, he is class. He may come on and get points, and if not first sub will have to do today. He will rack up points next week and beyond. Gotta play the long game, not week to week!

    5. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      So he comes on as a sub and matches Trent's score?

    6. thegaffer82
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      He’s on my bench.
      Still happy to have him and not need to transfer him in at a later date.

  5. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Mitrovic has been brilliant

  6. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Shane Duffy!

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      The GOAT has entered the fray.

  7. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Salah is gonna get 12 points here for a distinctly average performance. He really is FPL gold.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      I actually feel a little bad for non-owners. 2 very lucky returns.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        I don't. This has happened time and time again

        1. MIGHTY JOE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 day ago

          This

      2. RICICLE
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Same for nunez

  8. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    So, if City win tomorrow they win the league, no?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      mathematically yes

    2. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Seems right.

    3. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Arsenal are contenders

    4. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Season over for Pool

  9. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    How has Diaz looked today? Can't see the game.

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Played well. Super unlucky not to be on the scoresheet.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Was doing alright until Nunez came on and stole his thunder. Then went off.

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      was the most lively pool attacker - had a couple decent chances. got subbed at around '75 tho

    4. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Disagree. Didnt play well at all. Definitely not as fpl player

    5. GinjaWhinja
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Scored an goal that was ruled out and also hit the bar.

    6. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Thanks all, was never going to do a kneejerk transfer...not yet anyway 🙂

  10. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Diaz 2 points
    Robbo 1 point

    Ends that discussion for the season.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      The answer is neither!

    2. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Diaz looked good first half

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      1m saved though. Both losers 😆

  11. Thanos
    • 4 Years

  13. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Why does Mitrovic have a hole in his shorts?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      For the glory

  14. Budweiser
    • 12 Years

    2. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

  15. Bollard
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Cant believe i still have Dennis and King in my team!

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Internet explorer?

      1. Bollard
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        lol

      2. No Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Hahaha!!

  16. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Nunez is a handful for defenders, he's scored against top teams in the UCL.

  17. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Leon Bailey come on you beauty

  18. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Pool drop 2 points!

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Title race over.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Not a good game from us.
      But Madley will be back ref in championship, and Atwell will not sir in VAR next week.

  19. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Welcome back Fulham

  20. DycheDycheBaby
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Well played Fulham!

  21. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Very poor start from Liverpool

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      There's always next year.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Remember who lost their first game last season? The champions, that's who.

      1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        yea but it was 1-0 to spurs

  22. Ilicz
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Sess starts, Perisic benched.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Mitro 1-0

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      My only correct decision so far this season. Of course, Peresic will do a Nunez and haul off the bench 🙁

    3. VAR United
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Arsenal 2 - 0 Palace

  23. squ1rrel
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Ait Nouri punt...

  24. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Did Robertson play under Marco Silva at Hull?

  25. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Early thoughts
    Kane to Darwin for a hit, would need get off from Robertson to make room?

    1. chelseabrad
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Taking out a player who hasnt even played yet?

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Darwin looks essential, don't want to get rid of Kane but would need to make space

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Yup, knee-jerking and panic hits is the way to win this game.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Early thoughts? Not taking a decision now obviously

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 day ago

          My early thoughts are - I set up a team for a number of gameweeks. I don't expect them all to haul every game.

          1. Mozumbus
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 day ago

            Feeling here is that Darwin looks like a must have, and a good value at 9m, especially compared to Robertson at 7m. Learnings.

    3. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Do it now.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Don't panic please 😀

  26. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Just noticed someone in my ML triple captained Jesus…..that’s funny

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      A championship level player that can’t finish

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        Reply fail to Hutton

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Non owner here. Got off him since his ownership looked funny to me already.

  27. Bollard
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Big at the back dead in 2nd game of GW1!

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Patience is key with big at the back. It will work out.

      1. jacob1989
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 day ago

        I don't understand the appeal of 5 at the back

  28. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Pedro Neto not looking such a good option vs Fulham now.

  29. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Wtf is Watkins!!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Whoever said get him over Wilson I hate you!

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Finally dropped.

      Did think him and Bailey were at odds with each other tactically.

  30. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 day ago

    Those having Jesus and two Liverpool, Jesus to Darwin is an obvious move even for a hit to generate 1 million

    1. Khark
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 day ago

      Salah - KDB
      Jesus - Darwin

      Tempted!
