FPL Team Gameweek 7
Welcome to FPL Team Gameweek 7
Above average/below expectation
So we have suffered only our second captaincy fail of the season with CR7 bringing us – and many – the miserable 4 points. Ugh.
Probably explains why we just about snuck over the average line by three points when in most other weeks so far we’ve been miles ahead of the average. Proof, if it were ever needed, that captaincy is critical.
We scored 46 points in Gameweek 6 to take us to 221,616 via the dreaded RED arrow.
Not panicking yet but we have some questions requiring answering soon, if not very soon.
Raphinha, Antonio and our new signing Saint-Maximin brought us (8) points a piece and Salah just behind on seven. The rest (including said captain) doesn’t merit the bashing of the keyboard and you can see for yourself below.
Our Gameweek 6 Result
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our Gameweek 7 Transfer(s)
With Luke Ayling and Trent Alexander-Arnold definitely out and doubts over Shaw (and previously) Raphinha coupled with the usual doubts over Ferran Torres due to City rotation, our discussions this week have been a minefield. I’ve had more enjoyable trips to the dentist to be honest!
We didn’t go ahead with the Wildcard as previously expected. A few wise heads (they are there sometimes) felt next week was better and the rest went with it.
So we are scrambling around to get 11 players on the pitch (we will probably have to rely on Torres due to the known injuries) and therefore we need to deal with what we know for sure and we’ve FINALLY come to a decision in this regard.
Tsimikas won’t play and Rudiger will. We don’t want to lose money on Trent. We’re banking on Shaw.
To confirm then we have SOLD KOSTAS TSIMIKAS and BOUGHT ANTONIO RUDIGER
Captain – MICHAIL ANTONIO
This was a close run one. 5 votes taken with three for Michy and two for Ronnie, who has therefore got the vice as consolation.

Hi guys. Thoughts on this. Should I start Edouard (vs Leicester) over Westwood (vs Norwich).
Westwood..or maybe westwood to white..
Thanks Casey.
Can’t take it any longer, Torres out and Raphi in.
Watch Torres score a hatty
I’m still stuck with Torres. Benched him this week
I – finally – did that move last night. I’m really hoping Torres keeps his keister firmly on that bench!
On a wildcard. I have been tinkering with all the advice here. Last bit of advice please.
I personally would have Vardy instead of Son and would use one of the cheapo Arsenal midfielders to enable that.
This advice is mainly based on my lack of luck with Son in the past and the fact Vardy has, in the main, usually been a steady points’ accumulator. Also Vardy’s fixtures are arguably better in the long term.
Ramsdale may require a playing backup keeper, depending on how risk averse one feels. Looks like it is 3-4-3 or 4-4-2 depending on fixtures? Alternative is to choose a preferred lineup and upgrade (e.g. if 4-4-2, then downgrade pukki)
Can’t catch a break from those injuries… Plan was Ronnie to big Luke, but now maybe Ayling or TAA first? Already wasted my wildcard.
1ft and 1.6 itb
Ayling to Rudiger. The other may be a blessing in disguise this week and can easily wait until next week.
Cheers init – sensible advice
I’ve done Ayling to Rüdiger. I’ve benched TAA as he should be back after the international break.
Good morning
Did James to Rudiger.
Am I good to go? Got the urge to do a -4! 😉
Nice team there..ronaldo hatty incoming..
I am tempted to switch to Antonio
Hope so
Turn of your wi-fi and keep away from that transfer button
Ha ha!
Hi All. I have one free transfer left and 0.6 in the bank.
I’m thinking of a few more options
A Marcal to Christensen
B Jota to Sarr
C both for a minus 4
D open to any ideas.
Thanks in advance.
A
B
B and then A next week. Or make A a City defender (next week). No need for a hit.
Cheers chaps.
On another note, ive heard Ronaldo may be rested. Would Antonio be a safer cappo option?
I’m surprised that’s the first time that has been mentioned on here but I’ve heard it too. Not sure how much truth there is in it though.
Hey Init. Also been reading on twitter that Cavani may start. Now im thinking to bring in Lukaku to be on the safe side
A rumour like that seems to surface every Saturday. I suppose at some point it will be right. I hope for my, and many others’ sake it isn’t true. Tiresome though, that sort of thing.
