<h2>FPL Gameweek 1 | Predicted best player</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s no surprise to see the FPL Gameweek 1 player predictions dominated by the premium players from Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, with favourable <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker-old/">opening fixtures</a>.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-47645 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.15.00.jpg" alt="best gameweek 1 fpl team" width="1418" height="756" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.15.00.jpg 1418w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.15.00-300x160.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.15.00-1024x546.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.15.00-768x409.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.15.00-610x325.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.15.00-1080x576.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1418px) 100vw, 1418px" /></p>
<p><b>Heung-Min Son (£12.0m) </b>pips team-mate <strong>Harry Kane (£11.5m)</strong> to top spot, having finished last season as the Golden Boot winner on 23 goals. He&#8217;s already hit the ground running in pre-season, with two goals and four assists at the time of writing.</p>
<h2>Best FPL team for Gameweek 1 | Forwards</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-47649 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.16.52.jpg" alt="best fpl gameweek 1 team" width="1406" height="748" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.16.52.jpg 1406w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.16.52-300x160.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.16.52-1024x545.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.16.52-768x409.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.16.52-610x325.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.16.52-1080x575.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1406px) 100vw, 1406px" /></p>
<p>Harry Kane becomes the second premium player in this team and the only premium forward in a 5-3-2 formation. He tops the goal involvement charts for 2022 so far, with 23 attacking returns.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s joined by Newcastle United&#8217;s <strong>Callum Wilson (£7.5m), </strong>who ranked fifth for goals per 90 (0.54) in 2021/22. Newcastle United host promoted team Nottingham Forest, who finished 4th in the Championship last season.</p>
<h2>Best FPL team for Gameweek 1 | Midfielders</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-47648 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.22.jpg" alt="best fpl team gameweek 1 midfielders" width="1410" height="1264" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.22.jpg 1410w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.22-300x269.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.22-1024x918.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.22-768x688.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.22-610x547.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.22-1080x968.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1410px) 100vw, 1410px" /></p>
<p>With funds already stretched due to the inclusion of Son and Kane, the search for midfielders shifted to those priced below £8.0 million, with <strong>Luis Diaz (£8.0m) </strong>making the cut. He could provide great value this season at £5.0 million less than team-mate Mo Salah.</p>
<p>The premium defenders were favoured to the mid-priced midfielders on the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions/">Prediction Tool</a>, so the search then went to midfielders priced under £6.5 million for budgetary reasons, with <strong>Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.5m) </strong>making the cut. He has been reclassified from a forward to a midfielder this season, which should help his points potential.</p>
<h2>Best FPL team for Gameweek 1 | Defenders</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-47647 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.38.jpg" alt="best gameweek 1 fpl team" width="1410" height="1268" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.38.jpg 1410w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.38-300x270.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.38-1024x921.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.38-768x691.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.38-610x549.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-27-at-16.17.38-1080x971.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1410px) 100vw, 1410px" /></p>
<p>This is certainly a big at the back lineup, starting with Liverpool&#8217;s <strong>Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) </strong>who managed to create more chances (90) than any other player in the game last season.</p>
<p><strong>Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) </strong>was the best points per 90 player of last season, with high hopes that he can reach the same levels over a more consistent period in 22/23, having recovered from a significant knee injury.</p>

</ul>
<p>Spurs new signing <strong>Ivan Perisic (£5.5m) </strong>knows Antonio Conte&#8217;s system very well after their time together at Inter Milan and could provide both attacking returns and clean sheets.</p>
<p><strong>Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) </strong>accumulated 14 attacking returns last campaign and sits among the top fantasy point scorers for 2022, after blanking in just two of his starts this calendar year.</p>
<p><strong>Reece James (£6.0m) </strong>also managed 14 offensive returns last season, having played fewer minutes than Robertson and could punish an Everton defence that struggled last season.</p>

<p>With triple ups already locked in from Liverpool and Spurs, <strong>Nick Pope (£5.0m) </strong>becomes the final piece of the jigsaw following his big money move to Newcastle United. He made 121 saves last season.</p>
