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!

    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?

      Wirtz > Saka

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

                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.

          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

            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?

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

                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!

      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

        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.
