            <p><i><strong>Fantasy Premier League Winner</strong> <a href="https://twitter.com/FPL_TeddyBears">Michael Coone</a> reveals his <strong>Gameweek 1 FPL team, thoughts and plans </strong>exclusively for <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/join">Fantasy Football Hub members</a>. </i></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The FPL Winner’s Gameweek 1 Team</h2>
<h3>Premium Selections:</h3>
<p>The selection of premium assets in FPL is very important as not only do they generally provide a high return of FPL points to justify their high price, they also provide a bridge to quickly downgrade to cheaper in form assets immediately without taking transfer hits.</p>
<p>At the start of the 2021/22 season there are only two premiums that seem to provide any value for me, <strong>Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m)</strong> and <strong>Mohamed Salah (£12.5m)</strong> and as a result they go straight into my team.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-32589 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Fernandes.jpg" alt="fpl winners team" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p>I will be carefully monitoring the progress of <strong>Kevin De Bruyne (£12.0m), Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Romelu Lukaku (tbc)</strong> throughout the opening Gameweeks and see if there is a need to transition them in and how quickly I will need to do this.</p>
<p>For the start of the season however, they do not offer me with enough value due to Euro 2020 commitments, injuries and transfer speculation.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Goalkeepers/Defenders:</h3>
<p>As defenders and goalkeepers generally provide a much smaller return in FPL points to midfielders and attackers, I generally allocate an excessively smaller portion of my budget to these types of players.</p>
<p>My key criteria is that the player is almost guaranteed a starting position in their team, they have a good run of opening fixtures and the fixtures of all players selected rotate well between each other.</p>
<p>This has led me to the selection of <strong>Robert Sánchez (£4.5m), Ben White (£4.5m) and Luke Ayling (£4.5m)</strong>. This position has offered me some concern this year and has tempted me to diverge from my general principles with the game providing a number of mid-priced assets in the £5.5m range that offer significant attacking potential.</p>
