The leading FPL player's team is insane, he smashed everyone else in the world

8,441,535 played FPL in the first weekend of Premier League action and Rodgers sits pretty at the top thanks to some shrewd decisions.

He went for it straight from the off by triple captaining Erling Haaland in what proved to an absolute masterstroke.

With bonus points factored in, Haaland earned Rodgers a whopping 39 points and his price has had a slight rise after just one game.

His other strikers, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Darwin Nunez, also did the business - and the goal for vice-captain Mo Salah meant he got 42 points from the Fulham-Liverpool game.

Arsenal pair Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Martinelli got him 20 points after combining for the first goal of the season, while Southampton skipper James Ward-Prowse found the net to bring another nine points.

Ivan Perisic and Philippe Coutinho scored low but Kieran Trippier and Edouard Mendy both got seven points each for a clean sheet.

If he claims the manager of the week award, Rodgers will take home a slew of prizes including: noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones, a copy of FIFA 23, a Nike flight match ball, FPL rucksack and FPL mug.
