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

This is superb. FPL Twitter experts have been absolutely slammed. Kane over Haaland and “Save £5m on Salah”.

  In 130,524 hours of fpl talk every view and counter view is expressed.
  
  It's essentially a game of trade offs and most get their day the sun.

The time of City spreading the goals is over. Just get 2 nailed defenders and Haaland and enjoy the points

Hey guys remember when I said it was stupid to pick Kane over Haaland because Haaland is one of the greatest goalscorers of all time, turns out I was right.

  Because it's not GW2, it's GW1. West Ham away is a tough fixture. Spurs beat Southampton 4-1 and Kane was unlucky not to come away with anything. I don't think it was a bad decision, it's just variance.
