The countdown to the start of the new season is a crucial time for Fantasy Premier League players. After spending the summer tinkering with their squads and keeping a close eye on transfers, the deadline for the first gameweek is just over 24 hours away.
Haaland Fitness Concerns
The vast majority of FPL managers have opted for Manchester City's Erling Haaland as their star striker, despite his mammoth £15.5million price tag. However, there are concerns over the forward's fitness and whether he will be able to play 90 minutes in City's opening match against Bournemouth.
Arsenal Defensive Dilemma
Arsenal's squad depth also poses questions for FPL users. The Gunners were renowned for their resolute defence last season but begin the new campaign with questions over who will partner Gabriel Magalhaes and whether Riccardo Calafiori will get the nod at left-back.
