An online page with a ton of Fantasy Premier League content uncovered how several high-profile players went undercover in Week 1, adding Mohamed Salah and Anthony Gordon.

The guys at FPL. page give Fantasy managers a sneak peek of information about bonus points, injury news, and price changes.

In addition to the above, they also revealed which Premier League players have combined an FPL team this season.

Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson, for example, is flying after goal problems in the first week of the match. He has selected himself from a four-back organisation along with Pedro Porro, Josko Gvardiol and William Saliba.

After opting for Diogo Jota, Phil Foden, Alejandro Garnacho, Dominic Solanke and Ollie Watkins, the Scottish foreigner will captain his teammate Salah, a sensible selection after scoring 28 points.

Salah, meanwhile, got a good result after captaining their clash against newly promoted Ipswich Town.

He also included teammates Andy Robertson and Diogo Jota before settling on Spurs pair James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, who scored six points in total.

So who else has joined the FPL ranks this season?As you can see from the long list HERE, a decent number from the Premier League have created an account so far.

Kieran Trippier, who calls his team “Trip FC”, is lately ranked 941. 734 in the world rankings after accumulating 73 points, while Trent Alexander-Arnold, John McGinn, Matt Targett and Antoine Semenyo are also in the running.

These are only Premier League players. AS Roma pair Tammy Abraham and Chris Smalling have created an FPL squad for next season, with Abraham captaining Salah and Smalling handing the armband to Alexander Isak.

Someone who probably wouldn’t bet on the Fantasy Premier League any time soon is Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of last season’s match at Brentford, the former Brisbane Roar boss explained his decision.

“They gave me some friends who came to the game. It’s fair to say that they flooded me with tickets, but it’s wonderful because they made the trip,” he said.

“We’ve all had those dreams and we’re all living them in combination because for me, they’re a part of them too because I wouldn’t be sitting here today without them.

“They will all be here and for the first time in, I think, 20 years, I also had to withdraw from our Premier League fantasy team, which disheartens me and if you ask me for data you get nothing from me.

“I don’t want to play anymore because I’m a Premier League coach. And that’s it, it’s not a fantasy anymore!”
