Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) comes to a close this afternoon with West Ham United hosting Manchester City at the London Stadium.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

43.8% owned Erling Haaland leads the line for the visitors in Pep Guardiola’s 4-3-3 formation, with Phil Foden and Jack Grealish preferred to Riyad Mahrez on the flanks.

The Algerian, meanwhile, is named among the substitutes alongside Bernardo Silva, plus new signings Stefan Ortega, Kalvin Phillips and Julian Alvarez.

Michail Antonio starts in attack for West Ham, with Gianluca Scamacca on the bench.

It could be any one of Vladimir Coufal, Aaron Cresswell and Ben Johnson partnering Kurt Zouma at the back, with Craig Dawson and Nayef Aguerd missing out.


GAMEWEEK 1 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Zouma, Johnson, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Lanzini, Fornals, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Randolph, Ashby, Coventry, Downes, Okoflex, Vlasic, Benrahma, Scamacca

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Ake, Cancelo, Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Foden, Grealish, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Phillips, Stones, Alvarez, Bernardo, Mahrez, Palmer, Lewis, Wilson-Esbrand

    Cancelo is staying so deep

  2. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    It is safe to say, if you don't have Haaland, get him now.

    He will not need many chances to score.

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Agree

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Definitely this, his finishing is so good

    3. jack88
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      1 penalty, 1 open goal. At his best, kane could have done same.

      1. thegame983
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 hours ago

        That wasn't an open goal

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

          1 on 1 vs gk.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 hours ago

            Lol

      2. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 hours ago

        Kane at his best is what I want...

        e.g. Haaland

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      already having his minutes managed though

  3. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Everyone is in HahaLand unless you own Kane , d'oh

    Erling Haaland's game by numbers vs. West Ham:

    91% pass accuracy
    32 touches
    10 touches in opp. box
    5 shots
    4 big chances
    2 shots on target
    2 goals
    1.5 xG

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Averaging 1.5xG per game for City, not bad.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Unreal , ESSENTIAL!!

      1. fplgaruda
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 hours ago

        buy buy buy

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Against a team that was so narrow and deep, that's very impressive, although not surprising

  5. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Foden off Mahrez on

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Kdb off Palmer on

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Hopefully hauls against Bournemouth...

      1. fplgaruda
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 hours ago

        keep you waiting

  6. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Dilemma was Mount and Kane or Kulusevski and Kane. Guess which combo I went with. 🙂 🙂 🙂

    1. MamboNumberOne
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      I take it you meant Kulu and Haaland not Kane but yeah tough luck buddy.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 hours ago

        Yes, sorry. I'm so mad that I don't know what I write lol

    2. Herger
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Give us a clue mate

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

        About time you changed your grav to differentiate yourself from Q

        1. Herger
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 hours ago

          They are different mate. He’s got a goatee

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

          He changed it to camouflage himself i think.

          Or was it the other way around?

          1. Herger
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 hours ago

            I don’t even know at this point

          2. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 hours ago

            Q was the original. Redro just shaved

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 2 hours ago

              I like how you can't be rational and disagree with the thought process in your world 😀

  7. DRIZ ✅

    Mahrez cameo saves non-owners from suffering bench points

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

    safe to make Kane >> Haaland (FT) ?

  9. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Have Kane, Haaland and Jesus. Keep all for gw2?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Yeah

    2. Herger
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 hours ago

      Maybe just lose Haaland

    3. fplgaruda
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 hours ago

      Sell Haaland

    4. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 hours ago

      Kane to Darwin

    5. Dosh
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 hours ago

      Kane to Darwin if you have a slot

  10. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    5 subs 1 pointers happening. Everyone getting a run out

  11. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Cancelo 1 bap

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

      Get a yellow Ake

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      That interception could make it 2

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Using ones WC to bring in Haaland might just be worth it.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Or just sell Kane

  13. jack88
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    People are so emotional and overhyped. They need 5 transfer per gw i guess

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      FPL is the name

  14. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Alisson
    Trippier Saliba Ait-Nouri
    Salah Son Neto Bailey
    Haaland Darwin Jesus

    Ward Andreas Neco Patterson

    Son > KdB. Not sure if to captain, as I did Son this week and lost 12 points on it.

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Just captain Haaland. Having KdB will be differential enough!

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 hours ago

        Yeah I think I’ll go this.

  15. 15men1cup
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    To be fair the FPL Hub AI RMT got my score correct.......68. bang on...........

  16. sirmorbach
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Trying to correct an early mistake. Perisic to Saliba, so I can upgrade Bailey on GW3 or 4? Yay or nay?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Theoretically yes ... could bite back GW2 i.e. ARS concede to LEI and Perisic turns up in a 'big' game v CHE albeit a sub

      1. sirmorbach
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 hours ago

        Cheers!

  18. adstomko
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    I don't want Haaland for whole season but just want him for GW2. Help

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Free hit time

      1. adstomko
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 hours ago

        Only for DGW

        1. Gandalf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 2 hours ago

          Then your only other option is to transfer in then transfer out

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 hours ago

      That's pretty simple then, isn't it?

      1. adstomko
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 hours ago

        Nope. Want to dave FH for DGW

    Heard Alvarez is a real cat lover....

  20. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Moment of silence for everyone that said Haaland only scored in a farmers league and that he couldn't score against a low block.

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 hours ago

      The second goal wasn't against a low block.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 hours ago

        But his run is what stretched the defence and pulled them apart. All of his detractors here said he'd never score goals like that in the PL or that he'd be any good in tight games, his movement made the penalty against a very deep line and got him the second

  21. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 hours ago

    Have .5 itb. Will probably bite the price change and wait till deadline for Kane -> Haaland.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Yeah might get injured in training

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 hours ago

      Because there's no midweek game I'd just do it if you think it's the right move. Very little risk at this stage, quite a lot to gain.

    3. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 hours ago

      I done it before arsenal kicked off lol

      1. The Philosopher
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 hours ago

        Nah, his mum switched to Haaland already
