FPL GW1 Team Reveal & Strategy- AllAboutFPL
Srini’s FPL GW1 Team Reveal:
Key Notes:
- Strong squad with good first bench option. Not comfortable benching Chilwell in GW1 as Liverpool look vulnerable on the right.
- Going for a 3-5-2 structure due to injuries to Jesus and Nkunku in the mid-priced forwards range. Watkins can tick along nicely but Jota as a punt looks promising and exciting with good pre-season form with 4 goals and 3 assists. Might change that slot to a forward later on- Watkins or Wilson has a good fixture swing from GW5 or Jackson has a good fixture swing from GW3 and so on.
- Bruno/Martinelli/Jota can be downgraded to the performing 6.5 million midfielder(Diaby/Mitoma/Eze) after first few weeks if things don’t work out. The money can be used to upgrade Pedro after GW3.
Alternate plans:
- Jota to Eze/Mitoma and Pedro to Alvarez. This was the initial plan but with KDB fit, Alvarez punt might not last long.
- Stones to a 4.5 DEF(On bench) and starting Chilwell is also an option if we gets leaks that Stones does not start. One million can be used else where.
- Salah looks tempting with the pre-season form(2 goals and 7 assists). Bruno to 4.5 mid, Onana to Johnstone and Jota to Salah is a good option. If not now, there is a way to go with just few transfers later on if Salah starts firing.

Surya’s FPL GW1 Team Reveal:
Key Notes:
- 3-5-2 structure with good first sub in Chilwell. That itself is a benching dilemma with Liverpool looking weak on their right and Chilwell really good attacking on the left wing.
- Watkins looks to be a locked-in pick at the moment coming in at 8.0 million. He is a consistent, fixture-proof player and should tick along despite the mixed bag of fixtures.
- All the Defenders- Chilwell, Stones, Gabriel, and Estupinan are non-boring and exciting options. Capable of an attacking return at any time.
Alternate plans:
- Watkins to Jackson will mean there’s 1.0 Million saved which can be used to upgrade Osula to Joao Pedro to make it a 3-4-3
- Johnstone could be Pickford as Pickford and the new 4.0 Million Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Turner rotate well
