<h2>Holly Shand's FPL Gameweek 1 team reveal: First draft</h2>
<p>In my first draft, I've built a team for FPL Gameweek 1 without a plan to Bench Boost as things stand and with only one substitute carrying any value beyond the minimum spend in each position, with placeholders elsewhere.</p>
<p>I have opted for one premium in <strong>Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) </strong>as I expect him to have another fast start to the season, with some significant recruitment in a strong Liverpool attack.</p>
