<h2>Five points from FPL Gameweek 1</h2>
<h3>New signings</h3>
<p>Haaland rewarded his early backers with a Gameweek 1 haul of 13 FPL points.</p>
<p>He made the starting lineup and played 77 minutes, scoring two goals &#8211; including a penalty which he won himself. His second came courtesy of a <strong>Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m)</strong> assist &#8211; a combo which we suspect will become commonplace over the course of this season.</p>
<p>Fellow summer signing <strong>Darwin Nunez (£9.0m)</strong> did not making the starting 11 for Liverpool on Saturday. But that did not stop him racking up the points.</p>
<p>In a 39 minute cameo, the Uruguayan managed a goal and an assist, earning nine FPL points &#8211; an impressive return for the time he was on the pitch.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll have more analysis of the Premier League new boys and how they got on soon.</p>

<h3>Mitrovic can do it in the Premier League&#8230;at least he could this week</h3>
<p>Ok, we only have one gameweek of data.</p>
<p>But <strong>Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.5m)</strong> has shown us that he can handle the demands of the Premier League.</p>
<p>In scoring two goals against Liverpool on Saturday, the Serbian striker is already two-thirds of the way to matching his goal tally from the 2020/21 season.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the season which planted seeds of doubt in the minds of many an FPL manager in pre-season.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a long way to go but the early signs are positive.</p>

<h3>Which FPL players have risen in price? Which FPL players have dropped in price?</h3>
<p>FPL player prices can change throughout the season. Find out more about this <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-price-changes">here</a>.</p>
<p>And as could be expected, changes have already begun.</p>
<p>Haaland, Mitrovic and <strong>Oleksandr Zinchenko (£5.0m)</strong> &#8211; who scored 12 points &#8211; have all received a price rise.</p>
<p>On the opposite end of the scale, meanwhile, <strong>Harry Kane</strong> has dropped £0.1m to £11.4m.</p>
<p>This could create issues for managers who were planning to swap the England international to Haaland for Gameweek 2.</p>
<p>Many will have already made the switch &#8211; but others will be left short of funds to make a straight transfer.</p>

<h3>Off to a fast start &#8211; the FPL Gameweek 1 leader</h3>
<p>Real Social Dad, managed by Andrew Rogers, scored a bumper 119 points for the best score of Gameweek 1, ahead of more than 8.4million managers.</p>
<p>Andrew played an early <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/what-is-the-fantasy-premier-league-triple-captain-and-when-to-use-it">Triple Captain</a> chip and was rewarded with 39 points from Erling Haaland.</p>
<p>Haaland formed an enviable front three alongside Mitrovic and Nunez, while Zinchenko was also part of Andrew&#8217;s team.</p>
