Gameweek 1 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway shortly, with champions Liverpool at home to Bournemouth.

Kick-off at Anfield is at 20:00 BST.

Most FPL interest will be in Liverpool.

Their starting XI is the same one that lined up against Crystal Palace in the Community Shield, with one exception – Alexis Mac Allister is deemed fit enough to start in central midfield, so Curtis Jones makes way.

Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike make up the front four.

Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez are part of the backline, with no sign of Conor Bradley, who missed the end of pre-season with a muscle injury.

Ryan Gravenberch is suspended as a result of his red card on the final day of 2024/25.

Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola includes new signings Djordje Petrovic, Bafode Diakite and Adrien Truffert in his starting line-up.

£4.0m FPL defender James Hill is benched.

Justin Kluivert remains out, so David Brooks joins Antoine Semenyo on the flanks behind Evanilson.

LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Frimpong, Konate, van Dijk, Kerkez, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike

Subs: Mamardashvili, Gomez, Endo, Chiesa, Jones, Elliott, Robertson, Nyoni, Ngumoha

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Smith, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert, Adams, Scott, Brooks, Tavernier, Semenyo, Evanilson

Subs: Dennis, Araujo, Soler, Kroupi, Hill, Traore, Billing, Winterburn, Rees-Dottin

    Ekitike could boost Salah assists by a large factor

    Darwin Nunez missed about 27 big chances per season, when he played a full season.

    Petrovic makes the goal look massive.
