My Final FPL Draft for Gameweek 1: Fantasy Premier League 2026/27 Team

What is my final FPL draft for Gameweek 1?

My final Fantasy Premier League 2026/27 Gameweek 1 draft is built around a combination of reliable premium options, strong early fixtures, value picks and a few players who could provide an edge over the rest of the field. Watch the video for the full team reveal.

With Gameweek 1 approaching, this is the FPL team I am currently planning to start the season with.

However, the team is not completely set in stone. Pre-season team news, injuries, transfers, starting line-ups and any late changes to player prices or availability could still influence my final decisions before the deadline. Who Are My Key FPL Picks for Gameweek 1?

One of the biggest decisions when building a Gameweek 1 FPL team is deciding where to spend the majority of your budget.

My draft is built around Bruno and Haaland.

These are the types of players I want in my Gameweek 1 squad: players who have both a clear route to points and a reason to remain in the team beyond the opening fixture.
