Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 7
If you can’t do something properly… get someone else to do it!
We are back as ever with our predicted line-ups in conjunction with / courtesy of Drafthound. The usual warnings apply here: please take this as their / our best guess as to the line-ups, but it will never ever be 100% accurate, such is the nature of attempting to do so.
Two things to bear in mind;
- We trust Drafthound. They will have done their research into all this, especially given what they do, just as we used to, but these things are a ‘best guess’ exercise at best. Usual leeway should be accounted for, etc.
- Given their time and effort in providing this content for us it would be rude not to occasionally click on the Drafthound link and check out their own fabulous content as there are FPL articles aplenty on there too.

Hi all! Is it worth bringing in a City defender in place of Shaw ready for the relatively easy fixtures over the next few weeks (after Pool). Or would you bring in someone else?
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I like the Chelsea double up but you could save and have two igy.
Shaw might play after all.
igy4
Thanks GP! Even if Shaw plays, he has been on my radar to switch as Utd don’t seem to be keeping many clean sheets.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
It would get you to the IB with two free moves though.
Mitro
Afternoon,
I hope everyone had a good week?
This is currently my team for GW7, I have 1 FT & 1.3 ITB.
Want a Chelsea defender – Rudiger or Alonso?
AJW
Or both? I have done James to Rudiger and Trent to Alonso with a mind to getting him back when all’s well (and saving the money to do it with!)
Mitro
If I was going to do a -4 it would be Ronny to Lukaku!
Hopefully TAA will be back soon!
Smash
I’d probably go Rudiger as much as I want Alonso
Mitro
Cheers Smash!
I do want Alonso might just flip a coin tonight!
Otieno
I’d go Rudiger. Bench is just a little fragile if Alonso gets rotated
Smash
I’m still unsure so thought I would post again. 1 million in the bank I think Shaw plays and two free transfers
A) Rudiger and Lukaku for Amartey and Ronaldo
B) Rudiger, Toney and Brownhill in for Amartey, Dennis and Torres
Stone Frog
Both are good options. Hard to know which is best, as both are reasonable. Would you captain Lukaku? If so A, if not B.
Zed Leppelin
You’re a Chelsea fan, go for Lukaku I’d say
Elleffcee
A.
Mitro
Defo A
Otieno
Thinking outside the box does : Dennis , Torres , TAA to Lukaku, Brownhill, Duffy work for you ?
Stone Frog
Thoughts on Jota to Raphinha for -4? May be worth the gamble?
Elleffcee
Theres talk of Jota starting as Its a bit early for Bobby to go from the off.
kickers
Hi all, am I better to hold my wc and do ayling to rudiger and Torres to grealish ( or a better option if anyone can help) for a -4 or hit the wc and go with the attached changes?
Thanks
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
I mean I do like the WC a lot but you’ll need to see how it feels for you kickers.
If you do go for the WC next week, you’ll have two weeks to work on it which can be a good thing.
Otieno
That’s quite a decision. I don’t think the -4 for Grealish over Torres will pay back if you are doing a wildcard soon. It’s whether you think Torres is completely out of favour or maybe he might come back with a bang after pep rotation
I’ve commented on a similar WC team already today. And I think you should consider only 2 premiums with your budget to spend money elsewhere.
kickers
What about doing ayling to rudiger/alonso and Dallas to raphina for a -4?
Mitro
I would hold and just do the -4
Rogueblood
So toying around with what I can do this week I’ve came to either doing TAA> Alonso and Torres > Raphina for a -4, or using my WC and this is what my WC would shape up as
Rogueblood
2nd is what my WC would look like with 0.1ITB
Otieno
Your team probably does look like a WC candidate. I’m not sure if my WC will have both Lukaku & Ronnie.
For a -4 I would probably go ,Coufal & Torres to Rudiger & Saka. Then you’ve killed two problems and TAA should be back for the next game.
Although after being so patient with his benching and blanks, this week is probably the one where Torres will go crazy !
Rogueblood
That would be my luck haha, and the suggestions you made are decent especially aeound the probability of trent coming back my only issue is Saka as I already have Smith-rowe
