FPL GOAT’s Initial GW1 Drafts for 2022/23 FPL Season

FPL GW1 Draft 1

FPL GW1 Draft
A well balanced team with all the good defenses covered at the back

Pros of the Draft

A threemium of Salah, Haaland and Son who have incredible fixtures to start with and all can be captained for the run in.

Cons of the Draft

Pretty unusable bench with 2 x 4.5m midfielders which makes the team inflexible, Awoniyi a budget striker who could be a hit or a miss in the PL.

FPL GW1 Draft 2

FPL GW1 Drafts
Proper big at the back with great attacking options as well

Pros of the Draft

  • A double up of two best defences Man City and Liverpool alongside Reece James and Newbie Perisic who complete the defence.
  • Salah, Haaland and an £8m Gabby Jesus who can turn out to be one of the best value

Cons of the Draft

Slim to no options to choose in midfield with a nothing bench to cover.

FPL GW1 Draft 3

FPL GW1 Drafts
A very well balanced team with everything covered in every position

Pros of the Draft

  • A city triple up with double attack, Luis Diaz for £5m less than Mo Salah can be insane value if he’s a regular.
  • No Salah means the money can be used to strengthen the front with the best striking trio at the moment in Kane, Jesus and Haaland.

Cons of the Draft

Of course the absence of the best FPL asset in the game as we lose a captaincy option in him as well.
