FPL GW1 Predicted Lineups: Predictions vs Actual Starting XIs

The short answer

Gameweek 1 has started, so this page should no longer pretend every club is still a prediction.

We are now adding actual starting-XI evidence as each match is played.

Arsenal v Coventry — confirmed lessons

Arsenal won 3-0, with Christos Tzolis playing a major attacking role.

Coventry started five summer signings:

• Carl Rushworth
• Aurele Amenda
• Frank Onyeka
• Loum Tchaouna
• Caleb Yirenkyi

Hull v Manchester United — confirmed lessons

Marcus Rashford did not start; he returned as a substitute.

Hull's starting structure delivered a 2-0 clean-sheet win, with Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy scoring.
