Fantasy Premier League managers are urged not to overreact after the opening week, despite disappointing results for Manchester United and Liverpool. BBC Sport expert Pras says patience is the sensible approach, as a single poor performance should not automatically prompt transfers and upcoming fixtures may offer players a chance to respond.

Managers with Bruno Fernandes or Bryan Mbeumo are advised to keep them for Manchester United’s home match against Ipswich, with alternatives available if they fail again. Pras also recommends waiting before buying Brentford’s £5.6m Mamadou Sangare or adding Chelsea attackers, while giving Liverpool’s £9m Alexander Isak another match against Nottingham Forest; for captaincy, he prefers Fernandes over Manchester City’s Erling Haaland because of his wider potential routes to points.
