The short answer
Gameweek 2's FPL Challenge is Welcome Back.
Players from Coventry, Ipswich and Hull score double points, and the club limit increases to three.
This article should be updated after Gameweek 1 because actual competitive starts will be more valuable than pre-season predictions.
Provisional six-player structure
Formation: 2-1-2
| Pos | Player | Club | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| GK | Kjell Scherpen | Ipswich | Save and clean-sheet route if confirmed No.1 |
| DEF | Leif Davis | Ipswich | Attacking full-back role |
| DEF | Bobby Thomas | Coventry | Set pieces and defensive contributions |
| MID | Caleb Yirenkyi | Coventry | £5.0m midfield upside if starting |
| FWD | Haji Wright | Coventry | Central goal threat if first choice |
| FWD | Hull starting striker | Hull | Use GW1 to identify the real No.9 |
The placeholder for Hull is deliberate. Do not invent a starting striker before Gameweek 1 confirms the hierarchy.
Why GW1 information matters
After the opening matches, check:
- Starting XIs
- Substitution times
- Penalty takers
- Corner takers
- Goalkeeper hierarchy
- Hamer's Coventry role
- Hull's starting striker
- Ipswich's midfield structure
Best team profiles
| Club | Players to monitor |
|---|---|
| Coventry | Wright, Hamer/Yirenkyi, Bobby Thomas |
| Ipswich | Leif Davis, Maeda, starting goalkeeper |
| Hull | Hjertø-Dahl, Tzolakis if No.1, starting striker |
OneFPL verdict
Do not finalise this team before GW1.
The rule is known, but one week of competitive evidence can completely change the best six.
Use OneFPL Team News, Fixtures and Player Lab after the opening matches.
