Winner of FPL last season shares his team for Gameweek 1 of 2023/24
The winner of last season's Fantasy Premier League has shared his team for Gameweek 1 of the 2023/24 campaign.
@FplGunz - real name Ali - is the reigning FPL champion and he joined podcast 'Let's Talk FPL' to discuss everything about his love for the game and, more importantly, his team for Gameweek 1.
So, naturally, he has three players each from Manchester City and Arsenal, who finished first and second in the table last season.

His side includes Man City stars Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and John Stones. He's not concerned with Pep Guardiola's infamous squad rotation, claiming the 'upside' they offer is always there.
Arsenal talent in the shape of Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Aaron Ramsdale also make the XI.
What's more, his team also features three Brighton players in Pervis Estupinan, Kaoru Mitoma and new signing Joao Pedro, who looks to be on penalties for the upcoming season.
Pedro joined Brighton from Watford for a club-record £30 million and costs £5.5 million on FPL. He could be a shrewd signing considering is relatively low price tag on the game.
Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Luke Shaw complete his Draft line-up.
The FPL user has sprung a surprise by sticking Trent Alexander-Arnold on the bench for the opening weekend.
Liverpool begin their Premier League campaign at Chelsea, with Ali wanting the star defender for Gameweek 2 when they host Bournemouth.
The Reds smashed NINE goals past Bournemouth last season, with the England international having the potential to bag plenty of points in Gameweek 2.
Ali's bench also consists of Fulham goalkeeper Marek Rodak, Sheffield United's George Baldock and West Ham United's Divin Mubama.
What's your take on his team? Let us know.
