Brighton supplied the biggest win and the top two FPL hauls, Hull and Brentford delivered the shocks, and the individual model picks produced lessons in points, minutes and basic employment checks.
Every available Gameweek 1 manager briefing, distilled into confirmed absences, genuine doubts, selection clues and the FPL decisions that follow.
Our full Gameweek 1 guide ranks premium, mid-priced and budget players by modelled xPts, xMins and position-specific fixture difficulty, with an evidence-led watchlist for new signings.
