All you need to know for Gameweek 7

Invest in Manchester City – But who?

Conundrum at City this week – attractive home fixture versus newly promoted Ipswich, but who’s going to play? Maresca has indicated a period of rotation within his team with weeks of fixture congestion – Premier League and Champions League gameweeks between 2 international breaks. Manchester City’s squad is brimming with attacking talent, but be careful with potential incomings. We recommend almost certain starters – Haaland, Semenyo, Guehi, especially with a favourable fixture run, but no one is safe!

Brighton

The Seagulls are one of the in form teams in Europe – but is the end of their dominance near? Sitting pretty in 3rd place and claiming 4 clean sheets in their first 6 games, Brighton look an obvious team to target for FPL picks – especially midfield maestro Pascal Gros and defender-turned-winger Maxim De Cuyper. However, coming fixtures make us question their long-term effectiveness; upcoming battles include trips to Liverpool and Man City after the M23 derby. Long story short – Brighton players remain a great option but the mega points haul ship may have sailed.

Bench warmers no more

Who feels brave enough for bench boost? We do apparently. For those of you that have recently Wildcarded, bench boost may be the way to go this week to take advantage of fully fit and freshly picked squads. Dark horse picks include a home fixture for Leeds against out of form Manchester United and surprise package Hull take on plum-last Fulham. Save your transfers, take a risk and back your bench! Or is it 4 more players to let you down? Only 1 way to find out…

Talk of the devil…see our bench boost teams below for GW7…are we going to regret this?
