Here we go, the first selection of the season<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biggest omission for me is (15.0m) rated Erling Haaland. I hope this doesn\u2019t come back to bite me in the bum in future weeks, but I needed a way to fit in other potentially high scorers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defensively I did so bad, with no clean sheets from any of my players. The midfield balanced out as Saka and Salah gave me good returns. Kai Havertz repaid my faith with a goal and an assist, but my other two strikers did let me down slightly, even though they had favourable fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, an average 64 points in the first week has me sitting in top 4 for the first week<\/p>\n\n\n\n
