Premier League football is finally back with Manchester United vs Fulham kicking us off this evening! There has been much incomings and outgoings for a lot of clubs which will have a big impact on how teams may line-up. So with this in mind, here is our predicted line-ups for all of the fixtures this weekend and some extra tips for your FPL Team
Manchester United vs Fulham (K.O Friday 8pm)
Manchester United’s predicted line-up
Fulham’s predicted line-up
FPL Tips
Garnancho at £6.5m is an excellent choice as he is reasonably cheap and should get himself amongst the goals. For Fulham, Smith Rowe at £5.5m is someone to keep an eye on. He’s previously been a fan favourite for FPL and is likely to get a strong amount of points this season.
Ipswich Town vs Liverpool (K.O 12:30 pm. Saturday)
Ipswich’s predicted lineup:
Liverpool’s predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
Leif Davies made many goal contributions at left-back in the championship last season. At £4.5m, he’s a cheap option who will be involved in a lot of Ipswich’s goals this season. For Liverpool, the obvious choice would be Salah (£12.5m), however, a different choice could be Jota (£7.5m) who has had some success in pre-season.
Arsenal vs Wolves (K.O. 3 pm Saturday)
Arsenal’s predicted lineup:
Wolves’ predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
Arsenal defenders will be very sought after this year in FPL, so if you want some likely clean sheets points Raya (£5.5m) and Saliba (£6.0m) are solid choices. Wolves are less popular on FPL, but a cheap starter goalkeeper in Jose Sa (£4.5m) might be a good option.
Everton vs Brighton (K.O. 3 pm Saturday)
Everton’s predicted lineup:
Brighton’s predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
Everton were exceptional defensively last season, so choosing Pickford (£5.0m) as your goalkeeper is a great shout! With Estupinan set to be injured for the first few weeks in the season, left-back Barco (£4.0) is a fantastic option.
Newcastle vs Southampton (K.O. 3 pm Saturday)
Newcastle’s predicted lineup:
Southampton’s predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
Everybody seems to be choosing Isak (£8.5m) in FPL this year, but a different option could be Dan Burn ar £4.5m. If you want a cheap guaranteed starter from Southampton in your FPL team, Harwood-Bellis (£4.0m) is definitely your man!
Nottingham forest vs Bournemouth (K.O. 3 pm Saturday)
Nottingham Forest’s predicted lineup:
Bournemouth’s predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
Hudson-Odei (£5.5m) could be a threat for Nottingham Forest going forwards and he is a player that could rack up points with goal contributions. With Solanke departing for Tottenham, Bournemouth may struggle for goals. However, if you want a guaranteed starting goalkeeper for £4.5m, Neto is a brilliant choice.
West Ham vs Aston Villa (K.O. 5:30 pm Saturday)
West Ham’s predicted lineup:
Aston Villa’s predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
West Ham have made big moves in the summer transfer window with one of their incomings being Fullkrug. At £7.0m, he is a budget striker who is known to be clinical in front of goal. The clear and obvious choice from Aston Villa is Ollie Watkins (£9.0m). He will guarantee goals, assists, but more importantly, FPL points.
Brentford vs Crystal Palace (K.O. 2 pm Sunday)
Brentford’s predicted lineup:
Crystal Palace’s predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
Mbeumo (£7.0m) was in most people’s FPL teams at the start of last season, and he could be a good option for this season as well! Crystal Palace lost a big attacking threat in Olise to Bayern Munich this summer. However, they’ve withheld Eze (£7.0m) who will be a huge player for Palace this season.
Chelsea vs Manchester City (K.O. 4:30 pm Sunday)
Chelsea’s predicted lineup:
Manchester City’s predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
Even though Chelsea have made huge changes this summer, one man is still the centre of the team and that is Cole Palmer. At £10.5m, he is still an incredible option for your FPL team. With Haaland being an immense £15.0m, players are looking to spend there money elsewhere. Another City player who should be kept in mind though is Kevin De Bruyne who is priced at just £9.5m!
Leicester City vs Tottenham (K.O. 8 pm Monday)
Leicester City’s predicted lineup:
Tottenham’s predicted lineup:
FPL Tips
Leicester are back in the Premier League and they bring some incredible cheap FPL assets. Some of these include Faes (£4.0m) and Winks (£4.5m). Tottenham’s newest signing Solanke is priced at £7.5m which is great value for a striker who scored so highly in FPL last time out.
