The African Football Invitational FPL league will again be running this season, for those of you asking. For anyone who hasn't joined yet, please sign up using ...
Here's Mirror Football's 2022/23 FPL team choice for Gameweek 1, with the 2022/23 Premier League season getting underway on Friday evening.
Forward: Gabriel Jesus (£8.0m) - On course to be the most selected player for GW1 in FPL history, 75.8% owned Jesus is a must this season. Midfielder: Leon Bailey (£5.0m) - Bailey showed sparks of what he could produce in an injury-ridden campaign last season, and the Jamaican could prove a bargain this season. Midfielder: Riyad Mahrez (£8.0m) - Mahrez has always been a major threat in FPL, but the Algerian always falls victim to Pep roulette, sometimes being benched for weeks on the run. Defender: Trent Alexander Arnold (£7.5m) - An FPL must, Alexander-Arnold has outscored most midfielders and forwards over the last few FPL seasons due to his incredible attacking input in a defensively solid Liverpool side. The Egyptian has scored in each of Liverpool's last five opening day fixtures, and it could easily become six against Fulham. Last season saw the likes of Mohamed Salah, Heung-Min Son and Trent Alexander-Arnold shine, but with Gabriel Jesus now at Arsenal and Erling Haaland in the Premier League, some new options have caught the eye.
The 2022-23 season is almost upon us and at this point you should be making your final tweaks to your Fantasy Premier League team. But which new signings ...
While he faces competition from Ben White and Gabriel Magalhaes for a spot in central defence, a report in The Sun claims that he’s set to make his competitive Gunners debut in their opener against Crystal Palace. But which new signings look like the best bets for your FPL team? Since moving to Arsenal in the summer, he’s scored seven goals in five pre-season friendlies, averaging a goal every 37.85 minutes for the Gunners. Not only is he a sure starter, but he looks to be thriving as the focal point of their attack. The experienced Croatian is new to the Premier League and still getting used to a new club with new team-mates, but that’s all negated by the fact he worked under Antonio Conte at Inter. It should just be a case of plug-in and play.He notched four goals and five assists as a wingback as Conte’s Inter won Serie A back in 2020-21 and he looks to have all the makings of an FPL wingback hero. No wonder he’s said to be the most-picked player in FPL history, with nearly three-quarters of managers selecting him for the opening fixture away to Crystal Palace. Omit him at your peril. The Brazilian was never an obvious FPL pick whilst at Man City, in part due to falling victim to Pep Roulette, but everything looks different all of a sudden. Aribo caught the eye by scoring in the Europa League final last season, while setting up Kelechi Iheanacho’s match-winner against Egypt in the Africa Cup Of Nations. He also notched eight goals and six assists in the Scottish Premiership.Capable of playing in any number of advanced positions, including up top in the final weeks of last season, it’ll be interesting to see how Ralph Hasenhuttl opts to use the Nigerian at Southampton. Republic of Ireland international Collins caught the eye at Burnley last season, despite their struggles, and is going into one of the Premier League’s sturdier and defensively-minded teams in Bruno Lage’s Wolves. Only five sides kept more clean sheets last season. Okay, not strictly a new signing, but new to the Premier League. Only three goalkeepers in the division made more saves last term, and his heroics between the sticks were often an avenue to bonus and save points whilst he was at Burnley. Yeah, he got relegated with Burnley last season, but in recent seasons Pope has established a reputation as one of the Premier League’s best shot-stoppers. It’s been an incredibly hectic and interesting summer of transfer business, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham spending big on new additions as they look to close the gap on Manchester City and Liverpool. Manchester United haven’t been quite as active but are expected to make further recruitments in the coming weeks.
If you've left it late to get that 15 selected for your Fantasy Premier League team and you're afraid of the banter trolls come Monday, this guide should ...
It’s hard to look past Mohamed Salah in the midfielder category, given that he’s essentially a forward, and £13m mightn’t be too much for a player who’ll get a nice five week break at World Cup time. If you’re looking to put some safe bets in there and time is of the essence, then following the wisdom of crowds is never a bad bet. With Arsenal set to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, this is the usual one hour and 30 minutes before the kick-off in the first game of that gameweek.
Fantasy Premier League is back. Fifteen players, £100million, Mohamed Salah. It is the familiar setup football fans have known to love and hate in equal ...
Bournemouth versus Aston Villa is a prime example of this but Digne is a good option as the first-choice left-back and set-piece taker of an attacking away side against a potentially nervy newly-promoted host. These tips will get less obvious soon - because you cannot sign all the top players - but the question of how to manage Spurs in fantasy football has been a tricky one for, well, decades. The fear with FPL’s big hitters like Salah is that ignoring the likelihood of his imperiousness just makes you look a little silly.
This is it: after two months of team drafts, RMTs, derailed bandwagons, pre-season red herrings, transfer sagas, injury scares and endless Twitter threads, ...
