Which GW1 fixtures are the best for FPL players? +
Arsenal at home to Coventry, Crystal Palace at home to Everton, and Nottingham Forest at home to Leeds are the standout favourable GW1 fixtures. Man United away at Hull is also a low-difficulty opener.

The FootballDream set-piece tracker lists penalty takers, corner takers and free kick takers for all 20 PL clubs, updated weekly after any change in GW results or manager press conferences.
How accurate are predicted lineups? +
Predicted lineups are based on manager press conferences, injury reports, and pre-season patterns. Accuracy improves as kickoff approaches. Confidence ratings (High / Medium / Low) indicate how certain the prediction is.
