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

  Price rise sites are known to be super unreliable for the first few gameweeks as the algorithm is yet to be fully calculated.

So Cancelo look like he'll get as many returns as last year? Or people believe my Walker is better than Cancelo proposition? Curious to know if I Wildcard do I get in Cancelo.

  Don't have a City defender. Just feel Haaland and KDB will hog all the baps. The defense fighting for the final bonus point.

  Cancel wearing the No.7 shirt and seems to think he's an attacking mid. Grealish and Rodri having to track back and cover him. He'll be perfectly fine for attacking returns imo.

Haaland is even better than expected and seems to make City almost invincible. For past couple of years they have struggled in games where opponent defends well and if they have not scored in first 60-70 mins. I cannot see those struggles realize into defeats or draws with Haaland if keeps fit.
