Here's my team selection for the first week:
| Position | Player | Team |
|---|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | Dean Henderson | CRY |
| Left Back | Tyrick Mitchell | CRY |
| Centre Back | Ibrahima Konaté | LIV |
| Centre Back | Virgil van Dijk | LIV |
| Right Back | Daniel Muñoz | CRY |
| Centre Mid | Andreas Pereira | FUL |
| Centre Mid | Flynn Downes | SOU |
| Left Winger | Luis Díaz | LIV |
| No. 10 | Eberechi Eze | CRY |
| Right Winger | Mohamed Salah | LIV |
| Centre Forward | Diogo Jota | LIV |
I've got to go big on Liverpool with the easiest game of the season. Salah is an obvious choice and I've gone for Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota in attack. Where to put the other slots is tricky so I've gone for the centre back pairing in the hope of a clean sheet.
I also like Palace's fixture against Ipswich so have chosen their full backs who I expect to get forwards and Eze who should play behind whoever plays up front. I'd have liked Mateta up top but I suspect they're still trying to reattach his head after the weekend.
Centre Mid was a very difficult position to choose. I hope for defensive actions from Andreas Pereira and Flynn Downes more so than anything in attack.
