Premier League: Season Start Prediction Guide
Gameweek 1 preview, deadline reminders and a quick refresher on how Premier League score prediction points work.
Opening weekend preview
Gameweek 1 sets habits for the rest of the season. Fixtures land early, which gives you time to read pre-season friendlies, spot new signings, and watch the injury list before you commit.
Your slip locks at the first kick-off unless your competition says otherwise. Write that down somewhere if you keep forgetting.
The atmosphere of opening weekend
Opening weekend is loud, optimistic, and slightly chaotic. For predictors that often means tighter games than the table suggests: home teams raise their level, promoted clubs turn up with nothing to lose.

Build a Gameweek 1 routine
Some players lock most picks midweek and leave one or two fixtures until team news on matchday. Others do everything Sunday morning. Either works if you know your deadline.
Late injuries change scorelines. A centre-back pulled from the XI an hour before kick-off is worth checking for before you hit submit.
