I) Wilson
Scott from Fantasy Football Pundits has his eye on Ross Barkley after an excellent pre-season. It looks like he could be on penalties, as his new manager Frank Lampard moulds him into the role he used to play.? Ross Barkley REALLY caught my attention last night…
— Scott Wilson (@ScottW1110) August 1, 2019
▪️Played 90 minutes
▪️Scored a penalty
▪️Bagged himself 2 assists
He looks like he has been killing it in pre-season, after some other good performances too.
A potential #FPL bargain for £6.0m, with good fixtures? pic.twitter.com/3l03kiLU9J

III) Andy
Andy put’s the Manchester City form midfielders to a poll. They’ve both chipped in with attacking returns already, but it’s Sterling who’s been playing out of position as a forward, who wins this popularity contest.? Their opposition may have been appalling, but Sterling and KDB look red hot already this season. Who are YOU having in your team for Gameweek 1?

V) Strategic
Considering the 2018/19 end of season form, Trent Alexander-Arnold lit up the Premier League. He finished strong, with assists galore coming in the opening few games. Is he one for your fantasy team this season?I was a bit surprised about the timings of TAA's assists. Over half of them came in the last 5 GWs. pic.twitter.com/oiRPIuuSPR

IX) General
The FPL General is not one to fall for that pre-season hype. It’s important to remember these are friendlies, generally against clubs who aren’t of Premier League quality.My list of players who will be in my GW1 team based on their pre season form: pic.twitter.com/sRPloHcM9C
