<p><a href="https://twitter.com/JohnNellis_">John Nellis</a> and Abdul (<a href="https://twitter.com/FPL_Salah">@FPL_Salah</a>) kicked off our first stream of the season &#8211; and we have a packed programme planned in the coming weeks and months.</p>
<p>As well as providing their initial thoughts on the best and worst fixture runs over the first six gameweeks, the discussion turned to who might be popular picks in our gameweek one squads.</p>
<p>We sum up some of the stream&#8217;s key debates in this article but check out video above in full for more reaction.</p>

<h2>What can we learn from the release of the Premier League fixtures?</h2>
<p>We have the fixtures but we don&#8217;t yet have the launch of the game. So how much can we really learn from today&#8217;s announcement?</p>
<p>Think of the fixtures like a piece of a puzzle. We now have information about which teams and premium players which are likely to be best to target and captain in the early stages of the season.</p>
<p>The launch of the game will help us form our squads, taking into account prices and any changes in player positions.</p>
<h2>The best fixtures and players for FPL gameweeks one to six</h2>
<p>Arsenal rank favourably for gameweek one to six fixtures and the Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/FPL_Heisenberg">@FPL Heisenberg</a> was quick to comment in the stream&#8217;s chat that <strong>Bukayo Saka </strong>was a likely &#8216;lock&#8217; in his gameweek one team.</p>
<p>It was a shout which was met with approval from John and Abdul, who felt his potential price point when the new FPL game is launched would not break the bank.</p>
<p>&#8220;<span style="font-weight: 400;">He’ll probably be £8m and pretty settled to be a lock at that price with these fixtures,&#8221; Abdul said. </span></p>
<p>Turning to the wider fixture list, some of the league&#8217;s top teams look to have games to make their players worth the investment early on.</p>
<p>Abdul said: <span style="font-weight: 400;">“Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City have a great opening schedule. Obviously everyone planned on having <strong>Haaland</strong>, <strong>Salah</strong>, <strong>Trent</strong> anyway, so I don’t think it’s going to change much in terms of premiums. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I think everyone was pretty much set on Haaland but I think this pretty much secures it.”</span></p>
<p>The Norwegian wonderkid has signed for Manchester City and is expected to be highly owned come gameweek one.</p>
<p>Price point could well prove important though and our duo discussed whether Haaland would be an automatic pick if he was priced the same as proven Premier League asset <strong>Harry Kane</strong>.</p>
<p>And for John, he believed it would be a &#8216;heart versus head&#8217; decision when picking his gameweek one side, particularly if Haaland was priced the same as the Spurs talisman.</p>
<h2>Have the fixtures killed off any players as fantasy assets in gameweek one?</h2>
<p>Fulham topped the Championship table last season but the newly promoted side rank among the worst for fixture difficulty between gameweek one and six.</p>
<p class="PyJv1b gsmt PZPZlf" data-attrid="title" data-hveid="CAUQAQ"><span class="yKMVIe" role="heading" aria-level="1">Star striker <strong>Aleksandar</strong></span><strong><span class="yKMVIe" role="heading" aria-level="1"> Mitrović</span></strong><span class="yKMVIe" role="heading" aria-level="1">, who set the Championship alight with a record-breaking 43 league goals, was among many managers&#8217; thoughts for a striker spot in their squads. </span></p>
<p class="PyJv1b gsmt PZPZlf" data-attrid="title" data-hveid="CAUQAQ">But with their initial fixtures less than enticing, John and Abdul questioned whether the Serbian was a gameweek one pick &#8211; with the latter hinting that while he expected Mitrovic to feature in his team at some stage, it would not be from the off.</p>
<h2>Which players are &#8216;locked&#8217; in our gameweek one teams?</h2>

<p><strong>Jose Sa</strong>, <strong>Ivan Perisic</strong>, <strong>Robert Sanchez</strong> and <strong>Pedro Neto</strong> were among the creative suggestions in the stream&#8217;s chat for gameweek one &#8216;locks&#8217;.</p>
<p>Good fixtures for the likes of Wolves and Brighton were perhaps playing into the thinking of viewers here.</p>
<p>John, like others, made the case for Saka and possibly an Arsenal defender given the Gunners&#8217; good run.</p>
<p>Perisic &#8211; who we featured in a special piece on his FPL prospects <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/ivan-perisic-fpl-prospects">here</a> &#8211; has won plenty of fans.</p>
<p>Yet Abdul questioned whether the fixtures for other teams would lead him to look elsewhere in gameweek one.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;<span style="font-weight: 400;">My defence will be maybe Trent, Cancelo, James or Chilwell and two 4.5m defenders. He [Perisic] might emerge as a great option.&#8221;</span></p>
