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

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

      Maybe Haaland takes ones he wins or maybe he's now on them...2nd one i'd guess

    2. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Gotta say, he is so quick for his height.

    1. T C
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1cm shorter than Usain Bolt.

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

        Impressive. Bolt is a freak of nature.

  28. BobbyV
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Haaland triple cap GW2

  29. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    It appeared he took it because he won it.

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

      If he takes them all like that, Pep will give them all to him. City have struggled with pens for ages.

    2. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Pens are his now to lose

    3. bombonera

    Kane > Haaland confirmed for me

    1. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      +1

    2. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      You realize you prefer KANE over Haaland with your usage of > correct?

    3. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Darwin can wait as I have Trent, Robbo and Salah.

      Kane to Haaland being done tonight
