GW1 Period Analysis: Form Guides and Essential Picks
A deep dive into player form from the final 5 Gameweeks of last season to identify essential assets for your GW1 squad.
Welcome back, managers. As we gear up for GW1, looking at the tail end of last season gives us crucial clues.
Form is temporary, but underlying stats often carry over into the new campaign. We will analyze the last 5 Gameweeks of the previous season to spot the standout performers.
Let us break down the top assets across all positions to see who is genuinely essential.
| Player | Team | Points (Last 5) |
|---|---|---|
| J. Pickford | EVE | 34 |
| D. Raya | ARS | 29 |
Goalkeepers are all about secure points and bonus potential. Pickford ended last season on fire, making him a prime candidate for your GW1 squad.
| Player | Team | Points (Last 5) |
|---|---|---|
| J. Gvardiol | MCI | 45 |
| B. White | ARS | 38 |
In defense, attacking threat is the holy grail. Gvardiol's late-season surge in goals makes him nearly unignorable if you have the budget.
| Player | Team | Points (Last 5) |
|---|---|---|
| C. Palmer | CHE | 54 |
| P. Foden | MCI | 48 |
The midfield is packed with premium options, but Cole Palmer was the undisputed king of the run-in. His penalty duties and talismanic status make him absolutely essential for GW1.
| Player | Team | Points (Last 5) |
|---|---|---|
| E. Haaland | MCI | 51 |
| A. Isak | NEW | 41 |
Up front, the usual suspects dominate the data. Haaland remains the ultimate captaincy shield, while Isak offers incredible value if he stays fit.
