GW1 is almost upon us with barely 24 hours to the deadline. Press conferences have started so team news nuggets are beginning to come in. I thought it would be useful to have a thread for all the GW1 news, odds and projections.
One useful snippet so far from the aforementioned FFS Twitter feed:
Jurgen Klopp on Sadio Mane: "Looks fit. Yesterday was his first session with the team. Yesterday now with the team first time, looks absolutely OK, in good spirits. Yes he's an option, but we will see."
Feel free to post more team news as you find it (remember to credit your source if copying from another site).

Mane is a certainty for 10-20 minutes, imho.
I think you're right and I'm sure that he will play a part. Origi deserves a chance to start this one, no need to rush Mane back in especially with Salah available.
Gerard Deulofeu is fit and raring to go for the season opener against Brighton says Gracia. "He is perfect. He had a little problem and it was two weeks ago. He's had time to recover and has been able to train with the team from the beginning of the week. He's ready."

These guys have Hart starting ahead of Pope then?
Yeah I think you have to make your own adjustments to a certain degree, certainly from game time as I suspect that's based a lot on last season. I don't feel it's fair to post the FFS projections as they're behind their paywall, so the free FFF ones are the best I could find.
I suspect there is a form element to the projections that is carrying on from the end of last season. Hence there are players who finished last season strong but are unlikely to feature this week projected to do well, and players (mostly from abroad) who have no previous form and have no projections.
Just in case anyone was thinking of bringing Andy Carroll in, Steve Bruce said at his press conference that you won't see him on the pitch for at least the next 2 or 3 weeks due to regaining fitness.
Kante is fit but not match fit. Rudiger has been training for a few days.
Lampard says he has no untouchables (though I reckon he has a few i.e. Kepa, Azpilicueta, Jorginho) and every position is up for grabs. He gave this as an answer as to why Luiz left the club.

No convinced on Jorginho tbh, Kante and Rudiger will be when both fit but Jorginho could easily miss out to Mount, RLC, Kovacic once Kante is back
Sané out for up to 7 months
Marhez cleared to play
Praet won't start for Leicester on Sunday
OGS talks up Mason Greenwood and confirms Maguire available to start on Sunday
Chelsea checking fitness of Kante after knee injury whilst Rudiger is out and Willian a doubt
Zaha in Palace squad but Tomkins, M Sakho and Schlupp out. Cahill, J McCarthy and Camarasa available for debuts.
Mané could be involved in tonight's match
Norwich without Klose
West Ham without Noble but Wilshere and Fabianski fit
Burnley only have Brady missing
Bournemouth without Brooks, Gosling and L Kelly but Cook and C Daniels available.
Everton have Delph out and Baines a doubt. Manager's plan is to play Iwobi on left side and behind striker but he's worried about only having 3 CDs.
Lacazette ankle being assessed and late decision on Pepe and Elneny who played in ACN.
Spurs without Son, Alli, Foyth, Ben Davies and Sessegnon.

Imagining they went on a Lethal Weapon-esque crusade to catch the bad guys which lead to an explosion in an old warehouse at the docks.
...with Özil claiming he's getting too old for this shit. If we take "this shit" to mean "tracking back and generally looking arsed".
