5 best FPL players of Matchday 1

Mendy is one of the best Left-Backs in the world right now.

#3 Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City)

FPL Points - 15

If anything, Manchester City look to be the first team since 2008-09 to win the EPL twice in a row. Not only does this team score some brilliant goals, they also have a great defensive matchup.

Having unarguably the toughest matchday 1 fixture, City beat Arsenal 2-0 and did not disappoint. They dominated the game having more of the ball(58%) and 17 shots.

At the back, Mendy was just brilliant. He not only kept a clean sheet but also assisted 2 goals one-a-piece to Raheem Sterling and Bernardo Silva. Such a Steller performance helped Mendy earn 15 points in FPL and help city get off to a flying start. Mendy is now priced at 6.1M in FPL.
