From Scout Picks to team news, all of our content and tips for Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) 2026/27 will appear here.
There’s always the temptation to ‘kneejerk’ after the opening weekend. Players you thought would haul didn’t; players you hadn’t even considered delivered the points.
In Gameweek 1, Manchester United flopped, big summer spenders Tottenham Hotspur were trounced, Erling Haaland (£15.5m) blanked – and Hull City won!
But how to make sense of it all? Luckily, we’re here to help. From detailed Scout Notes analysing each opening fixture to Watchlist rankings, expert team reveals, point projections and more, we’ll get you in the right shape for Gameweek 2.
So, for all your transfer dilemmas, chip-related conundrums and captaincy quandaries, make sure to keep checking back here for the latest articles ahead of the FPL deadline at 18:30 BST on Friday 28 August.
