GW1 – Mostafeto Team: The Best Fantasy Lineup for Gameweek 1
As the 2025/26 Premier League Fantasy season kicks off, Mostafeto’s team stands out as one of the best lineups, combining defensive solidity, attacking efficiency, and key transfers for the new season. This squad has been carefully selected to blend experience and skill, giving Fantasy managers the perfect chance to maximize their points from Gameweek 1. In this article, we highlight the key features of Mostafeto’s lineup, why it excels based on performance and stats, and how it can serve as the perfect springboard for an exciting and successful season.
Ariola (4.5m)
Ariola returns to the lineup after a full season away, making him an ideal choice for goalkeeper. His low price (4.5m) offers great value compared to other options, and with his opening match against newly promoted Sunderland, he has a strong chance of keeping a clean sheet and earning early points.
Monuoth (5.5m)
After an impressive season in which he contributed to over 12 goals, Monuoth is hard to leave out of the lineup. The Spanish full-back offers both defensive solidity and attacking threat, especially given Crystal Palace’s strong form following consecutive victories over Liverpool and Manchester City in finals. His presence adds significant value to the team and offers a chance to boost points through clean sheets and offensive contributions.
Pedro Poro (5.5m)
Pedro Poro remains a reliable pick in the Fantasy world, continuing his strong presence for the third consecutive season in my lineup. The Spanish full-back has proven his attacking and defensive value, contributing over 6 goals last season and 12 the season before. What makes Poro even more valuable is that he is an indispensable part of Tottenham’s lineup, making him a consistent and dependable option for scoring points throughout the season.
Nikola Milenkovic (5.5m)
Nottingham Forest defender Nikola Milenkovic was one of last season’s standout surprises, scoring an impressive 6 goals in the Premier League—a remarkable feat for a defender. His value isn’t limited to attack, as he remains a key and consistent figure in his team’s backline. That’s why Milenkovic is a must-have in my lineup, offering a perfect balance of defensive solidity and attacking contribution at an affordable price (5.5m).
Sarr (6.5m)
The Senegalese winger from Crystal Palace consistently establishes himself as a key starter. His main appeal lies in his affordable price, combined with a clear ability to score and make an impact, as demonstrated by his goal in the Community Shield final against Liverpool.
Cole Palmer (10.5m)
Mohamed Qudus (6.5m)
My consistent pick, Mohamed Qudus, never disappoints. He is a standout player with multiple attacking options and is always a starter in Thomas Frank’s lineup, ensuring stability in performance. With his upcoming match against newly promoted Burnley, he has a strong chance to earn extra Fantasy points.
Götzeck Jakbo (7.5m)
Jakbo is the player Jurgen Klopp will rely on in Liverpool’s lineup following Diaz’s departure. He consistently proves his scoring ability, and with his first match against Bournemouth—who are missing most of their defenders—he has a strong chance to score and make an impact in Fantasy.
Giokrich (9m)
Giokrich has been a highly anticipated player at Arsenal for the past two years. His presence gives the team a significant boost in attack and increases their goal-scoring and title-contending potential. His opening match against Manchester United presents a golden opportunity to showcase his abilities and directly contribute to Fantasy points
Joao Pedro (7.5m)
Joao Pedro is the new golden boy in Chelsea and Mariska’s lineup, having scored 3 goals in two World Cup matches and emerging as one of the brightest rising talents. He is set to be a regular starter, and his upcoming match against Crystal Palace presents a great opportunity to deliver strong performances and earn Fantasy points.
Erling Haaland (14m)
Erling Haaland is one of the top captain options for Gameweek 1, making him an essential pick in Fantasy. Leaving him out could cost you significant points. His upcoming match against a struggling Wolverhampton presents the perfect opportunity to score multiple goals, making him the ideal captain choice from the very first gameweek to maximize points for your team.
Mostafeto’s Gameweek 1 lineup combines key starters from their teams with standout players capable of delivering strong attacking and defensive performances. Starting the season with this lineup gives you a significant advantage in earning points from the very first gameweek.
