Build one 15-player Premier League squad for Gameweek 1. Players lock at their own kickoff — swap anyone still to play, make live substitutions after early games, and change captain until that match starts.
GW1 Gameweek Fantasy tips — open the season strong
- GW1 is the best week to learn live locks: build a legal 15, then watch how Friday night freezes the first players.
- Avoid overloading one club early — max 3 per club still applies for the whole gameweek.
- Prioritise players with favourable fixtures and confirmed starts; leave differential captain options unlocked until later in the gameweek.
- Keep 1–2 bench spots flexible for live substitutions after early games finish.
- You can still swap anyone whose club has not kicked off — use team news on matchday mornings.
- Captain scores 2×: change captain as often as you like until that player’s match starts.
