The Premier League can be stressful for its fans - not only whilst watching your favourite team in action, but also when you've had a mare on fantasy football.
Whether you play for bragging rights over your mates, or to claim a prize at the end of the season, it's a hugely followed game, and here are the five top scoring players from the first few matches.
Note: This article is based upon the Official Fantasy Premier League game.
#5 Aaron Wan-Bissaka & Ruben Neves
Crystal Palace right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka was actually the most benched player of the opening round, with 502,289 players keeping the 20-year-old as a substitute. Those who had selected him to lineup from the start have reaped the benefits on gambling on a £4.0 option.
Wan-Bissaka scored 12 points during Palace's 2-0 win at Fulham, gaining 2 for his 90-minute appearance and 3 for his assist of Zaha's goal. As a defender, he received 4 more for the clean sheet, whilst also gaining 3 bonus points.
However, he comes in as joint-fifth due to Wolves' Ruben Neves matching his score in the promoted sides 2-2 draw against Everton.
The Portuguese, priced at £5.0, collected the customary 2 points for his featuring the whole game and an added 5 after his wonderful free-kick. Like Wan-Bissaka, Neves also recorded an assist for another 3 points whereas he was awarded 2 bonus points.
#4 Jose Holebas
Holebas, a £4.5 left-back for at Vicarage Road, collected two assists as Watford brushed Brighton aside.
The German-born former Greek international competed in the whole game, getting 2 points for it, and also earned another 6 for his two set-ups.
As his side kept a clean sheet, Holebas acquired 4 points and a further 2 in bonus. However, one point was chalked off his name for receiving a booking, leaving Holebas with a respectable 13.
#3 Richarlison
Richarlison marked his Everton debut in style with two goals on their visit to Wolves.
Many expected the Brazilian to fire whilst reunited with Marco Silva, under whom he grabbed 103 Fantasy Premier League points last season.
In Everton's 2-2 draw on Saturday, Richarlison's two goals secured him 10 points, resulting in an extra 3 through bonuses. Although, after being marked with a yellow card, 1 point was relinquished from his score meaning his owners must settle with the 14.
#2 Benjamin Mendy
Mendy, like Wan-Bissaka, was another defender wasted on the bench by thousands of players, 60,248 to be precise.
Manchester City's humorous left-back got both assists in their 2-0 win over Arsenal, for Sterling and Bernardo Silva to finish from.
That drew him 6 points for assists and 4 more for the clean sheet. Additionally, Mendy bagged 3 bonus points and 2 for the 90-minute appearance.
Despite being costly at £6.0, being an attack-minded full-back in a City side full of goals should ensure plenty of points for Mendy over the season - if he's not to suffer another terrible injury.
#1 Sadio Mane & Roberto Pereyra
Sadio Mane, the new number 10 at Liverpool, and Roberto Pereyra, Watford's new talisman were top scorers in game week 1. Mane was instrumental in their 4-0 thrashing of West Ham, netting twice in his 81 minutes on the field. Elsewhere, Pereyra got both of Watford's strikes in the 86 minutes he performed.
This, of course, got them 2 points each which is nothing compared to the 10 apiece attained by scoring a brace. Furthermore, Mane and Pereyra were top of the bonuses for their games, getting three each. Added to the 2 points for playing most of the match, both attackers landed 16 points in total.
