Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is well and truly back – and so with it comes all the associated agony and occasional ecstasy.

At the end of Saturday’s Gameweek 1 action, our Scoreboard rounds up all the action.

Included in this article are the day’s leading teams and players for shots, chances created and expected goals (xG). This is official Opta data taken from our Members Area.

And, new for 2025/26, we’ll also round up Saturday’s defensive contribution (DC/DefCon) points, too.

These stats are available for our subscribers immediately after full-time in every Premier League game.

    Thought I was doing well until I checked the ML and see a City fan with his triple up, Haaland (C), Ait Nouri and Reijnders!

  2. BusbySwede
    • 8 Years
    8 months, 2 days ago

    Wirtz to Reijnders the obvious kneejerk transfer in mind. Pull the trigger now and get him before price rises, or just chill and keep calm with the transfers?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      He won’t rise that quick 😆

      1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        yeah but the .1 is effectively .5 at this stage

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Can’t see him rising same evening surely, be midweek earliest

    2. MJF
        8 months, 2 days ago

        I would rather buy him at 5.8 on Friday knowing he's not pulled up in training than 5.5 now.

        1. Four Letter Wirtz
          • 10 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          He DID pull up at the end of the match, just after that run down the left...

      • Zimo
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        U have no one in the 5.5-6.5 range to go to him?

        1. BusbySwede
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          No, Kudos and Rogers are my cheapest mids

      • King Sheep
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Always chill and keep calm until nearer deadline.

    3. bso

      I need to get rid of Diouf...bad run and WH suck. Would BOU be a good choice. Seem to have a decent run.
      Or any suggestions?
      Thanks guys

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Got Diouf myself, would keep he will come good

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Diouf looked ok today, wouldn’t knee jerk him out.

      2. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        He still carried a threat today from what I read. Hold off for now

      3. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Keep, he could have easily braced let alone score!

      4. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        He had several shots (including one cleared off the line) and took some corners. Could still be good value at 4.5.

      5. Regi Blinker
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        We picked him for the attacking threat. We knew the fixtyres, we knee west ham are crap. Just keep for now unless you really have no issues or bench options.

    4. Wirtz Nightmare
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 months, 2 days ago

      lads any transfers I should make with this team?

      Sels
      Murillo Porro Diouf
      Salah Palmer Bruno I.Sarr Reindeer
      Pedro Watkins

      Dubz Richards guiu esteve

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        No. Just start Richards over Diouf

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        See no reason, stick

      3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Diouf -> Dorgu was my first thought
        But you could save FT

      4. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Watkins to Gyokeres (c) if you want to chase the upside perhaps

    5. mookie
      • 12 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Bonus and DC updated for the Pool game.
      DC
      VvD 20 > 21
      Konate 8 > 7
      Senesi 14 > 15
      Adams 18 > 19

      ^these are the only ones I kept track of.

      Lots of drama incoming on Mondays with the Opta updates.

    6. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 2 days ago

      Lots of great scores here and here’s me with 32 with 3 to play (cries)

      1. AAAFootball
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Tough luck.
          Last year I got 37 first week

          Doing better this week with 61 and six to play on bb

          1. Babit1967
            • 9 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Not bad mate

        • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years

          What's your team?

          1. Babit1967
            • 9 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Sels
            Diouf Frimpong Cuyper
            Salah Wirtz Sarr (Spurs) Palmer
            Bowen Watkins Mateta

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              8 months, 2 days ago

              Good team, who's coming in on your bench for Sarr (mci) GW2?

              1. Babit1967
                • 9 Years
                8 months, 2 days ago

                Dewsbury

            2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              • 9 Years
              8 months, 2 days ago

              Unlucky, loks good on paper
              WC is available though

              1. Babit1967
                • 9 Years
                8 months, 2 days ago

                Yeah I know I’ve never been one to knee jerk this early tho but never say never. lol

      2. Mother Farke
        • 2 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Waiting until as close to deadline as possible, but it's looking like:

        Konsa > Reinildo
        Wirtz > Saka

        -4. I need some Arsenal and I'd likely captain Saka.

        Thoughts?

        1. Tomerick
          • 11 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Absolute madness to take a hit for gw2. Did you not have any foresight when making your team?

          1. Mother Farke
            • 2 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            I'm on 75pts with 1.0m ITB purposely for either Saka or Gyökeres. You tell me? Team is linked...

            1. Tomerick
              • 11 Years
              8 months, 2 days ago

              I don’t think the move is worth a hit but that is just me.

              1. Mother Farke
                • 2 Years
                8 months, 2 days ago

                I can't do Palmer to Saka for one GW, surely? I can't sell Ekitike or Haaland? It's a tough gig.

                1. Tomerick
                  • 11 Years
                  8 months, 2 days ago

                  You might consider that it isn’t worth getting either Saka or Gyökeres for one game week given the following fixtures and just rode out with the ones you have chosen until their fixtures swing.

                  1. Mother Farke
                    • 2 Years
                    8 months, 2 days ago

                    That's true. Might just roll as I do like Konsa's fixtures once he's back.

      3. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Good start for the threemium! Haaland a relative differential in a few of my MLs. Didn’t captain him though.

        Intrigued to see how defcon goes tomorrow. Slightly underwhelming today.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Who did you captain?

          Salah

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Yeah, bit of a hedge as he’s my only Liverpool

      4. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Who would you replace Diouf with, another 4.5m defender?

        Also, can Anderson wait and see, or does he need to be Reijnders before he rises?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Dorgu, if you have a good backup for hard games

        2. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Wait and see on both

      5. Ninjaa
        • 15 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Right I have no City players, Reijnders seems the obvious cheap way in but for

        A. Anderson
        B. Ramsey
        C. Ndiaye

        1. cravencottage
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Any of these

      6. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Best 4.5 def for next few gw’s?

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Ballard 17ppg and easy fixtures

        2. Kodap
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Also looking for the answer to this

        3. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Senesi

          1. bso
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Was thinking he could be a possibility.
            Ballard is a good shout to but not sure if I can trust Sunderland yet?

      7. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Why on earth did towers prize rudolph at 5.5 when every other attacking city mid costs more (as they should)?

        1. Ruinenlust
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Is he attacking mid?

      8. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Gakpo did a job GW1, but is it madness Gakpo > Reijnders?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Yeah

          They'll be other move.to.do

      9. Snoop Udogie Dogg
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Cherki -> Reijnders?

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Surely not

          1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
            • 5 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            watched the game and Reijnders looked brilliant, yeah Cherki did score but he'll probably be benched again next week?

      10. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        57 on a BB with Sels, Murilo, Palmer, Saka, KDH & Gyokeres to go.

        Think I’m happy with that, Reijnders, Mayenda & triple Spurs defence made the day, Arsenal boys could be key tomorrow to a good start.

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          If Gyokeres or Saka bangs tomorrow, they’ll be my TC next week I think.

      11. OverTinker
        • 7 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Reindeer nailed or should we wait?

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Wait

        2. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          I’d say he’s nailed & will only be better with Rodri.

      12. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        Would you do Anderson > Reijnders, despite Anderson not playing? If the latter goes up tonight im priced out of that move & Reijnders looked the part today.

        1. Giovanni Giorgio
          • 12 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          I'm thinking of doing it aswell. Looked very advanced

          1. Kodap
            • 8 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Really advanced, passed the eye test massively..

        2. claretparrot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          I've just done Caceido to Rein.

          First season back after 3 seasons off so my discipline is going to take some training!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          He won’t go up tonight

      13. Gudge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 2 days ago

        A) Richarlison and 6.0 def
        Or
        B) Ekitike and 4.5 def (Anderson or dorgu)

        Cheers

      16. Vasshin
        • 7 Years

        So how did Rutter play today? Got an assist but didn’t took the penalty himself

      17. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years

        This site is very slow for me today, anyone else?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years

          Yes it's tedious

        2. Kodap
          • 8 Years

          yeah it's awful, been like this for days..

      18. Hantakun
        • 16 Years

        Minteh and Bowen to Reindeerz and Ekitike tonight?

        (Have Saka so not too bothered if Goykeres hauls)

        1. cravencottage
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Don’t take hits in GW2

        2. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Why did we go Bowen?? Lol

        3. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Not great to have like a month to decide a team and then kneejerk a hit straightaway
          Not sure there’s a rush to get a Liverpool player for Newcastle away when they looked very solid defensively today

        4. MJF
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Madness.

        5. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years

          Need a solid 10-pointer from KDH on Monday

          1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
            • 9 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Wish you the best but hope and believe that it won't happen

            1. Utopsis
              • 6 Years
              8 months, 2 days ago

              Great juxtaposition

          2. Utopsis
            • 6 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            I'm the sammeeeee

        6. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          8 months, 2 days ago

          Is Reijnders actually going to rise tomorrow? Damn this may force my hand

          Kelleher/Dub
          RAN/Diouf/Frimpong/Dorgu/Reinildo
          Wirtz/Saka/BrunoF/Rogers/Reijnders
          Ekitike/Bowen/Watkins

            Annoyingly Benched Reijnders

              Pretty good team, should have played BB. No need to WC. Probably bring in Semenyo for Rogers, but saving ft is still good.

                Thanks. I really did contemplate BB simply because I was very uncomfortable in benching Reijnders. Frustrating

            Don't think so, just do it. I did.

              Who would you omit from my squad?

                Verbruggen, Williams, Wirtz, Rogers, Watkins

            This is wild. No Salah or Haaland who scored 8 and 13 respectively.

            Give it a couple more gameweeks

              8 months, 2 days ago

              Hahah Wild to WC?

              Or wild that i don’t have either ?

                Oh dang sorry I thought that was your WC Team!

                Hmmm it's a tricky one for sure. But you must have had a fundamental reason for excluding them both, so let it play out a bit more?

                  8 months, 2 days ago

                  The fundamental reason was to accommodate the likes of Bowen and Watkins who both were absolute flops

                  1. Utopsis
                    • 6 Years
                    8 months, 2 days ago

                    Well I have both of those and I'm keeping. You would be furious if they scored GW 2 and 3 - 1 GW is insufficient time to call them flops

                      I totally agree. Just typical FPL rage from myself.
                      However I may bench Bowen and play Reijnders next GW, smh.
                      West Hams fixtures take a dive now, was really hoping to get something out of that game and be more optimistic.

                        Bowen is the kind of player that gets goals vs CHE and TOT, I'm gonna hold until I have absolutely no other transfers to make.

                        Good luck man, stay the course!

                    Having said that, I'm just watching MotD and this Reijnders guy is a must have

                      I benched him as I just said and I’m furious with myself lol

                  Along with an overall seemingly balanced squad which ain’t looking so balanced lol

              Thank you for your response hahahah.
              I’m assuming that’s a big fat NO

        8. OverTinker

          Rogers to Reijnider?

          1. OverTinker
            • 7 Years
            8 months, 2 days ago

            Or Wirtz to Reijnder?

        9. Kermit Special

          Forced to take a hit due to Konsa's red, as both Diouf and Gudmundsons are the alternatives from the BB.

          Wirtz to Reindeers or Semenyo

          Allows me to upgrade Konsa to Nouri or Munoz

          Hi folks...can someone please provide me link to Marks fpl team?

          With Konsa out I can either play VdV(mci) or AWB(CHE). Which one would you pick?

            You could hope Spurs have City's number again? I'm in a similar position due to Konsa but with Porro. I know Porro sored in the same fixture last season, a 15 pointer if I'm not mistaken, but surely City address the Spurs hoodoo one day.
