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.

    Suddenly strikers in demand. Nunez and mitrovic along with kane haaland jesus maybe Wilson if he scores

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have Jesus, Kane and Haaland. I want Nunez.

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

        Same here

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus is so last week!

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Big change from last season

  2. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What on earth, Bailey is 5.0m in FPL so why is he playing OOP as a striker after a great pre season?

    I demand he is not nailed this instance.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's the fool players who don't do their research.

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

          Some of us put him in before he got the attention of the "experts"

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

            i put him in at 0.3% straight after his goal against united. thought i found a little gem lol

  3. balint84
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mitro: golden boot is coming

  4. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Did try telling everyone Diaz is an FPL dud

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could easily have had two goals

      1. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Reaching there. Had one real chance and was never close to goal. Nunez and Salah much more goal orientated. Diaz is the decoy

        1. EL_FENOMENO
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He literally hit the post. How is that never close to goal?

      2. Prince Andrews lawyer
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thats not how it works, its a pet hate when I hear 'could' etc. If his first goal attempt went, that would've changed the game i.e restarts from the centre of the pitch changing everything going forward. Therefore because of my aforementioned fact the whole game would be different and chances 2 and 3 wouldn't have occurred

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I said the same. Non owners did get lucky today.

  5. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Are the non Salah owners crying about an assist?

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

      Of course

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would be too. Ball is dead without the defenders touch.

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haven't seen it but of course

  6. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    (bottomed) Robbo, Salah, Nunez looking like the three to have

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Aye. Too late now.

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

        I could be on for a GW3 wildcard tbh

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Until next week when Diaz & TAA haul

      Knee jerk community

    3. fploutcast
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You can’t write Trent off that quickly

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

        Robbo looked so much better though

        1. fploutcast
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          True but Trent has proven quality. He will be a high 100/200 player. No need to panic just yet.

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

            Yeah I've got both. Want Nunez now tho.

            1. fploutcast
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I have both too and will be tough to sell one if Darwin really does become elite.

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

      Agree. I have the first 2. But squeezing nunez in difficult. I still think jesus will haul soon too

  7. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Did anyone notice TAA's positioning after Elliot came on?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I noticed it for the first goal

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It was better. Remember for a period when Elliot played previously it seemed to PL positively influence both Salah & Trent.

  8. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If Salah lost an assist would Nunez get the 2 bonus points?

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

      Yeah

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. Salah would do well to scrap a BAP.

      His world class assist is worth 5 points...

  9. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Love the game, but if that Salah assist doesn’t get removed, the integrity is at stake.

    Unless, I’m clearly off about the rules.

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's a bad one but there have been worse.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It’s pretty clear imo. I can’t see how it’s justified without just ignoring it.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nowhere else has it as an assist from what I see.

      Opta do not, nor do the BBC.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Precisely

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

      That FITZY fella at the bottom got it right

    2. fploutcast
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Savàge

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

      I own him just didn’t cap, it’s a small haul and I’ll cap next week, chill your beans

      1. fploutcast
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You did it to yourself tbh

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Off ya go

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

          Let’s chat after the spurs game and then we’ll see

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I never said anything about the Spurs game, not to you or anyone.

            You are using your defence mechanism now.

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

              No, but if Kane hauls at least I will be further up the ranks than you 😉 he’ll probably blank though

              1. FOO FIGHTER
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                What is your current rank?

                Or should we share after the matches are done?

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Spud in the mud!

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

        Natural habitat so I’m not fussed

  10. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I just remembered that Mark does not own Salah, so the assist will be removed

    Relief!

    1. Galza
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Or they’ll give it to Kane 🙂

  11. jack88
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Next day nunez will blank. Robbo will assist and cs.

    People will cry again. Robbo essential, nunez sucks!

    People....

    1. fploutcast
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Perceptive

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      FPL for you

    3. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Expecting any better during a gameweek Saturday is folly.

      Knee jerk city

  12. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Already 3 forwards looking essential this season.

    1. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Which ones

    2. fploutcast
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stop

    3. jack88
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Already? You mean after 2 games out of 380 games?

    4. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland, Kane and Jesus. Yes, we knew that.

  13. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Salah x Dzeko. Salah x Nunez. Big man little man. Goal and assists where off the charts those 2.

  14. One Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Kane to Mitrovic will be trending.

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Or Nunez

  15. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Archer, Diaz > Darwin, Dasilva? 8D

    1. Gareth M
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sideways move for a hit. Chill

  16. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I know this is the wrong place to talk sense but people talking about shifting Diaz… hit the bar and goal chalked off (rightly) for offside. Looked decent (non owner).

    And Trents had plenty of games like that where he has been defensively suspect then hauled a week later

    Chill out y’all

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

      Diaz not best 3 Liverpool option nor best 8m midfielder option

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t disagree but he was hardly rubbish. Main concern was carvalho clearly going to get minutes this season

  17. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I was quite right about Darwin eh?
    https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/25155659

    1. One Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You were, Darwin will do well no doubt. Liverpool failed to score in 3 finals last season. Darwin is what the needed badly.

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Shout out if he picked him!

  18. One Man
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Trent & Robbo will still deliver, always felt Fulham could cause an upset first game back in the PL.

  19. MR Penquin
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Got Darwin , Hartland & Jesus

    I Also want Mirovic

    1. BIind Moth
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Get rid of Hartland, easy switch.

    2. MR Penquin

      HAALAND !!!

  20. Football is home
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If Kane blanks should I replace him with Darwin or Mitrovic?

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. _Ninja_
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He won't

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

      Both

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

      Mitrovic, and double.uo with Palinho while you're at it

  21. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I had a draft with Zinchenko, Darwin, no Jesus. Also had Mahrez and Kula so assuming they are going to smash as well

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cool. We’re distraught for you.

      Gameweek is 2 games old

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        I’m not actually moaning, so please calm down

        1. SouthCoastSaint
          • 14 Years

    Jesus & Darwin

  23. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    It would be great for FPL if strikers came back this season

    1. One Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Agree, as Fergie said I love a good striker.

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It was my one main prediction.

      Year of the premium striker.

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 14 Years

      Kept him regardless.

      He can still feast today.

      If not, matches Trent.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        And Robbo

  25. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Nice to see the 4.5 almost all of us started with have a good game. Andreas on set pieces, playing behind Mitro.

    Benched both of course but very happy not to be ripping my team apart in the first week

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      His heat map position was further forward tha Mitro, ridiculous!

      We'll be starting him soon!

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, lovely when the 4.5 mid cheap option plays

    2. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      And plays well, happy to start him GW3 now

  26. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years

    Big @ back strategy so far not looking like the way to start the season.

  27. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can Salah lose the assist? since hes cross first hit the Fullham defender?

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Oh go on then, since you asked.

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years

      He can but he won't now.
