The FPL line-up lessons we learned from Gameweek 1

With new signings, new managers and indeed three new teams clouding the water, anticipating the Gameweek 1 line-ups was always going to be tricky.

Our pre-season coverage helped point us in the right direction and there weren’t as many shocks as there might have been in the various starting XIs.

There were still lessons to be learned, though, so we will discuss each team selection on a match-by-match basis in the article below.

Liverpool v Norwich City

Liverpool were in their tried-and-tested 4-3-3, with Divock Origi patrolling the left flank.

Sadio Mane, late back from the Africa Cup of Nations, emerged as a 74th-minute substitute to replace the Belgian on the wing.

Alisson began the match in goal but budget FPL goalkeeper Adrian – listed above – came on for the injured Brazil international in the first half.

As happened in the Community Shield, Joe Gomez was given the nod over Joel Matip alongside Virgil van Dijk at centre-half.

Norwich were short on fit centre-halves, so Ben Godfrey and Grant Hanley were the pair selected at the heart of the defence.

Kenny McLean was chosen over Mario Vrancic and Moritz Leitner in the double-pivot, although the latter came on before the hour-mark.

£4.5m midfielder Todd Cantwell, who has also featured in place of Marco Stiepermann in pre-season, edged out Onel Hernandez on the left flank.

Hernandez came on late in the game, with Cantwell moving inside and indeed completing 90 minutes.

West Ham United v Manchester City

Leroy Sane injured, Raheem Sterling – as happened in the Community Shield – shifted over to the left flank and Gabriel Jesus led the line in a 4-3-3.

Sergio Aguero replaced the Brazilian midway through the second half.

With Bernardo Silva nursing a minor muscle problem, Riyad Mahrez was promoted to the right flank despite not kicking a ball in pre-season – the Algerian having been involved with his country at the Africa Cup of Nations.

There were no great surprises elsewhere, with Oleksandr Zinchencko and Kyle Walker at full-back – Joao Cancelo only match-fit enough for the bench – and John Stones preferred to Nicolas Otamendi at centre-half.

With West Ham without the injured Mark Noble, Jack Wilshere dropped back alongside Declan Rice in the double-pivot.

Despite Pablo Fornals having started the last three pre-season friendlies, it was Michail Antonio who joined Felipe Anderson and Manuel Lanzini in the attacking trident behind Sebastien Haller.

Antonio, who had started the game on the left flank, was hooked at half-time and replaced by ‘number ten’ Fornals, with Lanzini moving across to the left wing.

Anderson was again deployed on the right flank in Manuel Pellegrini’s 4-2-3-1.

Bournemouth v Sheffield United

Perhaps the biggest formation surprise of the weekend was Eddie Howe opting to go with a 3-4-3 against Sheffield United, although the unavailability of wingers Arnaut Danjuma and David Brooks perhaps forced his hand.

Josh King and Ryan Fraser played either side of Callum Wilson, with Adam Smith and £4.0m-rated Diego Rico used as wing-backs.

Goalscorer Chris Mepham joined Nathan Ake and Steve Cook in a back three, with Aaron Ramsdale getting the nod over Bournemouth’s other three senior goalkeepers between the posts.

There were no real shocks in the visitors’ starting XI, with a wing-back system one Chris Wilder used in the Championship last season.

FPL defender John Lundstram was brought in alongside John Fleck and Oliver Norwood to bolster midfield in a 3-5-2, with attacking midfielder Luke Freeman thrown on for Lundstram on 78 minutes as Wilder chased the game and reverted to a 3-4-1-2.

Burnley v Southampton

It was as you were for Burnley, with Sean Dyche sticking with the 4-4-2 that he has favoured for much of his tenure at Turf Moor.

Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood kept up their ever-present league record in 2019 up top, with Johann Berg Gudmundsson back on the right wing having played second fiddle to Jeff Hendrick for much of this calendar year.

Charlie Taylor still wasn’t quite match-fit enough so Erik Pieters made his Burnley debut at left-back and collected two assists.

Having started pre-season in a 4-2-2-2, Southampton finished the summer in a similar wing-back system that Ralph Hasenhuttl rolled out in 2018/19 and indeed a 3-4-3 was used again in Lancashire.

Che Adams had featured on the right flank over the summer but it was Danny Ings who was moved wide to allow the ex-Birmingham striker to feature centrally, with Nathan Redmond stationed on the left.

Illness apparently kept Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg on the bench for most of the game, with James Ward-Prowse and Oriel Romeu playing in tandem in central midfield.

Jack Stephens got the nod over Maya Yoshida at centre-half but was sacrificed for Hojbjerg late on as Hasenhuttl reverted to a back four.

Crystal Palace v Everton

Roy Hodgson started this season as he finished last, with Palace in a 4-4-2.

Jordan Ayew was paired alongside Christian Benteke in attack, with Wilfried Zaha brought on alongside the Belgian midway through the second half.

Scott Dann and £4.0m defender Martin Kelly saw off the challenge of Gary Cahill at centre-half.

Everton were also in a familar shape to last season, with Richarlison and Bernard on the right and left respectively of a 4-2-3-1.

All of the players in the starting XI were on the books last season, although Moise Kean replaced Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front midway through the second half and Jean-Philippe Gbamin was brought on for the injured Andre Gomes just before half-time.

Morgan Schneiderlin was sent off and will miss Gameweek 2.

Watford v Brighton and Hove Albion

Gameweek 1 featured something we hadn’t seen last season: Gerard Deulofeu starting a Premier League match on the wing.

Now an FPL forward, of course, Deulofeu was sacrificed for Roberto Pereyra at the break, with the Argentina international still working his way back up to full match-fitness after the Copa America.

Craig Dawson was included at centre-half and was the only starter on either side who wasn’t at his club in 2018/19.

Graham Potter had trialled a 3-4-3 in the final two games of pre-season and that was indeed the formation that he deployed on Saturday.

Leandro Trossard remained an unused substitute as Pascal Gross and Jurgen Locadia flanked Glenn Murray in attack.

Florin Andone and Neal Maupay replace the latter two players in the second half and both scored.

Solly March and FPL defender Martin Montoya were used as wing-backs.

Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa

Spurs started Saturday’s game in a 4-4-2 diamond, with Erik Lamela playing just off Harry Kane and Lucas Moura in attack.

The introduction of Christian Eriksen for Harry Winks saw Lucas and Lamela pull wide and Kane lead the line in a 4-2-3-1.

Villa were in their familiar 4-1-4-1 shape, with Conor Hourihane starting at the base of the midfield but later replaced by new recruit Douglas Luiz.

Trezeguet was preferred to – and eventually replaced by – Jota on the right.

There was a surprise in the full-back department, with last season’s first-choice pairing of Neil Taylor and Mohamed Elmohamady preferred to 2019 signings Matt Targett and Frederic Guilbert.

Only Targett made the bench, with Guilbert not among the substitutes.

Leicester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Brendan Rodgers opted for a 4-3-3 as he attempted to put pressure on Wolves’ back three.

Ayoze Perez played on the right of a front three with Jamie Vardy and James Maddison.

Hamza Choudhury was sacrificed in the second half as substitute Harvey Barnes took over on the left flank, with Maddison moving infield alongside Youri Tielemans in a 4-1-4-1.

Wolves were as they were for much of last season, with Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez stationed up top in a 3-5-2.

Patrick Cutrone replaced Jota for the final 15 minutes.

Newcastle United v Arsenal

Matt Ritchie recovered from injury to take up the same left wing-back role he occupied last season, with Newcastle United in a 3-5-2.

Ritchie moved infield when Jonjo Shelvey limped off, with Jetro Willems taking over on the left.

An ‘out of position’ Miguel Almiron partnered Joelinton up front, with substitute Allan Saint-Maximin joining them in a front three late on.

Unai Emery mostly used a 4-2-3-1 in pre-season and indeed that was the formation favoured on Tyneside, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leading the line after a stint on the right flank this summer.

Alexandre Lacazette, only just back from an ankle injury, was an unused substitute.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson started in the attacking midfield positions behind the Gabon international, with summer signings Gabriel Martinelli, Dani Ceballos and Nicolas Pepe replacing them in the second half.

Pepe took up a left-wing role.

With new signing David Luiz also not called upon on the bench, Calum Chambers started at centre-half.

Manchester United v Chelsea

United and Chelsea both lined up in a 4-2-3-1, as they had ended pre-season.

FPL midfielder Anthony Martial led the line for the hosts, with Marcus Rashford stationed on the left.

Andreas Pereira and Jesse Lingard started the game in the hole and on the right respectively, although interchanged on occasion.

Paul Pogba was positioned on the right of a central midfield two, having played almost exclusively on the left last season.

Frank Lampard sacrificed Christian Pulisic to fit both Mason Mount and Ross Barkley into the same starting XI, with Barkley occupying the left-wing role and Mount playing just off striker Tammy Abraham.

Pulisic replaced Barkley on the hour-mark, with Mount finishing the game.

Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic lined up in the double-pivot, with N’Golo Kante replacing the former in the last 20 minutes.

    Bilva owners, are we keeping him?

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Of course, he had a muscular injury. But I am tempted to go Martial or Pulisic

      1. Strchld
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If I just would know he will start next game, I would keep him..

        1. Yome
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He will start, wait for Pep’s presser to see if he has recovered

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Guess yes. Benching was due to muscle injury and generallt Pep has liked him. Of course fpl points are still a question mark and Spurs is not the easiest if you think very short term

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        What I dont like is that he is likely to drop in price before gw

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no hes dropped from the starting lineup for good. hes never going to play again. pep never rotates his gw1 team.

  5. Uncle John from Jamaica
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Chaps

    How is Zouma looking? Worried he may be dropped after he looked like a rookie at Old Trafford.

    1. soup natsi
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      better than last time

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica

        I was talking about this weeks league game

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He's our best defender who's available

    4. Yome
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      His place to lose vs Christiensen, but Rudiger is not ready though

    5. el polako
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ok, not as shaky as in last game.

    6. EMBOLOFAN
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      luiz might come in to play with christensen

      1. Nice to Finally Michu

  8. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How many minutes do you think Salah will get against Southampton if he plays 120 minutes against Chelsea?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      90 if needed.

    2. Rainer

      5 years, 1 month ago

      90

    3. Dokdok666
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      70. might even start on the bench and get a half or 35 mins

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      90

  9. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Play Pope or Heaton this week? Tougher decision than it originally appeared to be.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Heat

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I mean you brought Heaton to rotate with Pope presumably. Heaton must have better clean sheet odds. Both will make a lot of saves. Still Heaton.

  10. Miguel Sanchez
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    120 mins for Salah then. That nails Auba for the captaincy this GW.

    1. el polako
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling for me.

    2. THAT'S LIFE
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I remember writing him off when he came off bench v Stoke once

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson for me

    4. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for me.

  11. SADIO SANÉ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How long until I need to WC this team? One more week? (Please don't say 'now' haha)

    Heaton (Woodman)
    VVD Montoya Rico (Hanley Kelly)
    Salah Sterling Mane Trossard Cantwell
    Auba Jota (Wickham)

                • 9 Years

    Question for draft team - Emerson or Lindelof? I've got Delph to get rid of

    1. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Emerson had about 20 shots on Sunday and Lidelof not that nailed.

      1. AuFeld
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I can't see fathom Smalling or Jones coming in for Lindelof unless an injury were to occur.

      2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 13 Years

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The fact she's a female shouldn't come into it.

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Impressive

    4. Lacabacca

    5. The Tinkerman
      • 9 Years

      There should be a sarcasm punctuation mark for responding to stuff like this.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        OP is being sarcastic

        1. Brosstan
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          No Im not. Im being something, but not sarcastic.

    7. Party time

        Indeed. I agree. A very good job from her

      • Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Is she doing a good job because she is a female?

        1. Brosstan
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe the players think they have a chance if they act nice to her?

      Will be at the Bridge this weekend, looking forward to seeing Vardy running rings around tired legs after this ET

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm sure they are fit enough to run around a bit for an extra 30 minutes.

      2. Yome
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Worrying for both center backs as Rudiger is unlikely to be ready. He can play Alonso and Zappacosta though

      Anyone else moving towards Sterling captain with extra time looming...

        Danny Ings.

        Nope. But I hope others do.

        No, still captaining Aubameyang.

        I’m really considering Jamie V.....crazy or worthwhile??? Tired Chelsea legs against a rested Vardy ?
        Or play safe, follow everyone else and go Sterling ?

        Rashy or Pogby for me

      I don’t think I fancy double Liv defence anymore. They don’t look right at the back at all this season

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Same as you B. Time to ditch one.

        On the plus side you get a lot of attacking points for your pounds as well as clean sheet points.

          The ref looks alright from the back. Fancy her?

                She looks to thin to handle that

              A damn sight more than anyone fancies you from the front or back I imagine

            So far...

            But yeah agreed, Robbo or TAA > 4.5 and Kane in up top, or Son into the middle is on the cards for me.

            1. Bubz
              • 11 Years

              Im thinking AWB

            Same, but I’m ahead of the curve.

            Their right hand side gets pummelled

            Warning signs were on view pre season especially v Napoli. They failed eye test, so I got single defence as some cover. And it was pure luck VVD got me attacking points to outscore the assist twins.

          120 mins good for Barkley's chances at the weekend? Clutching at straws here.

            Hopefully !!! I’m clutching straws too.

          Arnold for Robbo, what the actual...?

          1. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Switcheroo formation. It's 2019, players don't have to only play one position.

          Anyone for an Aguero (c) ?

        • OLB
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Carry transfer and do Perez and Robertson to Zinc and Son next week?
          Mids would be : Salah / Sterling / Son / KDB / Martial
          Yes or save for Kane?

        • I Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Robbo subbed for Trent.

            Anybkdy else finding this v odd?
            Gomez at LB

            1. Licky
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Gomez played LB initially when he was brought in.

              its a friendly nobody cares

            3. GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              1st position when signed from Charlton.

            • 12 Years

            I take it he's not injured and rather being saved for the weekend.

        • KGFC
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          TAA for Robbo!

          1. Swanremainsthesame
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Robbo out bandwagon

        • Pedram
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Can't afford Digne but i really want to have a Everton defender, how about Zinchenko > Coleman ?

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            completely and utterly pointless

            1. Licky
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Didn't they sign another fullback as well?

            2. Pedram
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I'm on wildcard so i'm not wasting a transfer here.

            Decent move

          3. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            No. Why the need for an Everton defender and why lose a defender from a team with a good CS record?

            1. Pedram
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Everton has better fixtures imo

              1. GreennRed
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Everton are not league champions with a right good defensive record.

            a bit sideways at this time. seem unnecessary.

        • Brosstan

          Robbo dropped for Trent

        • Maddi Son
          • 7 Years

          Gomez robbed the tent.
