It’s that time of the week again when we give Fantasy Premier League managers the chance to put questions to our panel.

If you have a burning query as you prepare for Gameweek 7 then we’re here to help.

We’ve assembled another panel of three Fantasy managers this week and will be bringing you a different set for each Gameweek over the course of the season.

You can find out what their answers are Monday.

Who’s on the panel this week?

Az – Well-known name on Twitter and beyond, who cracked the top 1k in 2017/18 (finishing with an enviable overall rank of 817) after previously having recorded two finishes inside the top 5,000.

Joe – the host of our Scoutcast – plus many other weekly videos – and who sits 79th in our Career Hall of Fame, having recorded seven top 10,000 finishes in ten seasons of playing FPL (including an “OR” of 840 in 2013/14).

    Arnautovic out therefore Siggy comes in his place. Not a bad sub to have eh? With Laca and Siggy now on pitch I really hope for a free scoring game there. So, prepare for a 0-0

    1. Khark
      • 10 Years

      You have soggy as sub, wtf!

      So much money on the bench

      1. hannibalos
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        For this gameweek it was either Siggy or Arnie and I preferred Arnie. Couldn't have known that Steve Cook would have conceeded four goals!

    first time I've needed all 3 bench players - cheers Gunnarsson 🙂

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Same here but I am only fielding 10 because of injuries.
      Love the irony considering I had all those bench points for weeks.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        yeah, I've got 2 2 0 coming on 😀 standard - convinced Arnie would play and Pedro would get a cameo at least but oh well - hopefully Richarlison doesn't do anything today

  3. Touré De Force
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Foolish to discount West Ham in this one methinks

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      They are missing thier main striker!

      I really don't think it is...

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Why we didn’t play Fredericks I don’t understand he and Yarmolenko would have given Alonso nightmares. Do fancy Anderson to show it on the big stage today tho

        1. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          My faith is at a very low ebb with our team atm...

      2. Powers106
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Without Arnie .. all optimism feels gone!

  4. Dele
    • 9 Years

    Pedro > Richy... cmon my boy!

  5. ZakAFC_

    Non Hazard owner, watching from behind the sofa today

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Gonna try stream this match, will be important game

      Don't envy being you during this time!

      Still believe atleast a goal and assist (including baps)

  6. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Auba's final audition to stay in my team... Salah is staying, so it's Mane or Auba going to get Hazard in..

    1. Waynoo
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      same, also captained Aub. Final stay of execution for me.

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I think he's about to hit lift off!

  7. Farke in hell

    Chelsea's bench is better than Liverpool bench. Don't @ me.

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Strongly disagree. There isn't one player on their bench today who would improve Liverpool.

      1. Dr Robotnik
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Fabregas and Morata wouldn't make Liverpool's bench... Ok...

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Morata? Lol

            Wait.didnt read properly. What you said

      2. Ramboros
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It's not like there's a single player on Liverpool's bench that would improve Chelsea either.

    WC time?

    This:
    Foster Fabianski
    Alonso Robertson Mendy AWB S Cook
    Salah Mane Maddison Fraser Cairney
    Aguero Arnie Ings

    To this:
    Patricio Hamer
    Alonso Robertson Trippier AWB Bennett
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Maddison Fraser
    Aguero Mitrovic Quaner

    1. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Just stick. Take a -4 if there's negative team news

  9. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I like the, "chelsea team will be tired" theory. They are playing a west ham team without a goalscorer

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Tiredness is such BS. They’re all in their twenties

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Eaxctly.
      Like southampton without Ings and a worse defence.

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yarmolenko !

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Knew I should have captained Alonso. Was concerned about Arnie though.

  10. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    So yesterday was excruciating as I sold Salah, Maddison and Bilva on WC. GW rank 3.5m

    Buuuutt I did buy Mitrooo for Arnie, AWB off the bench, sold Pedro and now have Haz, Alonso and Richa to go.

    Mixed feelings!

      My mate has the same photo as yours for his facebook profile

        1. AIRMILES

          As it happens, he is.

  11. AIRMILES

    Score predictions today?

    Wham 1-2 Chelsea

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      1. AIRMILES
        • 14 Years

        I'd take those scorelines.

    2. Podge

      0-4
      3-1

  12. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I think us Mitrovic cappers (tumbleweed) were very unlucky with that last min header off the bar!

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It werent going in even if Foster didnt get a glove to it, IMO

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Ohh, didnt knew about that. I'm happy with 8pointer as a new owner 😛

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I brought him in for Ings and gave him the armband, being very impressed with him this season I must say!

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeh would have been sweet, I considered it but wimped out

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You were lucky he did anything at all. Invisible before the goal.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        he still could have ended up on a hattie on another day!

  13. Champione
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Time for a Fabianski brace. Can see some saves in this match 😀

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yes please

      0-0
      Sorry guys

  14. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I've got Salah, Mane & Haz - any other premium mids worth getting or just go with Richarlison/Maddison?

    Thinking Sterling/Alli, or maybe Pogba/Ozil/Ramsey...?

    Currently contemplating Aguero+Arnie+Pedro -> Laca+Vardy+Richarlison

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn’t sell aguero

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        yeah I know, it's not easy to but I'm kinda convinced Laca can keep pace over the next 5

    2. H-SF
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Fabianski
      Alonso Mendy Robbo
      Walcott Fraser Mane Salah
      Mitro Aguero Arnie

      Foster | AWB Peltier Stephens

      1 FT, 0.3m ITB

      WC time?

      1. H-SF
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        woops

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 10 Years

          haha you don't want my advice Sonny

    What does "EO" stands for ?

    1. Touré De Force
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Effective ownership

      1. beso
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Any articles to explain that ?

        1. J T
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Players ownership doesn’t really need explaining does it? :/

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Effective ownership

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        If a guy is 40% owned and 1/2 of them captain him then he’s really (20+40) 60% owned.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Isn’t it 80?

  16. Supersonic
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    What are the chances giroud will continue to start in the premier league?

    Should I bring him in for Zaha? - already have Alonso and hazard

    Cheers

    1. ameenkw
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No.. Mitro/Arnauto should do better for less ..

      1. Supersonic
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers.. already have kun-mitro-Zaha.. looking to bring in arnie when palace fixtures are menta

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I went vardy with Kun and Mitro but if it continues Giroud could be a great diff

      1. Supersonic
        • 9 Years

        Cheers mate

  17. ameenkw
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I think I'll be doing a -8 this gw .. what do you guys think?

    McCarthy / Hamer
    Alonso / Doherty / Shaw / Bennet / AWB
    Salah / Mane / D. silva / Pedro / Ward
    Aguero / Mitro / Wilson
    1 FT & 1.6 ITB

    Wilson + Mane + Pedro -> Kane + Lennon + Richarlison (-8)

    Kane & Lennon have Car/Hud next 2 and should do well .. I'll cap kane in these 2 games most probably .. and Richarlison should do well in EVE next 3 ..

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      wtf

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years

        This

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hate it

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Just Pedro to Richarlison?

    4. Fin
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Absolute lunacy

    5. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Looks decent to me, only issue is -8pts.

      I think Wilson can score as much as Kane or even more in next 2 weeks, so probably not worth it

    6. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      wth noo.PEdro to richalison and thats it

    7. The Red Devil

      Wow! (Not the impressed kinda wow)

  18. RED PILL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Sky Sports Fantasy Football game, Aubameyang or Lacazette that is the question?
    Auba on pens but playing wide. Stats say Lacazette. Any suggestions peeps?

    1. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I had Auba but sold in the overhaul. Hazard(c), Jorghino and just done Schurrle>Rich...

      1. RED PILL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        My gut tells me Lacazette and hes 1.1 million cheaper.
        Auba plays more minutes and on pens. This is a tough call.

        1. shirtless
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I'd go Laca

          1. RED PILL
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers Shirtless, I'm going with my gut along with stats.
            I like the look of next five fixtures for Arsenal, Lacazette it is.

  19. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Arnautovic has messed up my week. I was hoping for an amazing week (if he scored) instead of just a great one. I don't even have a bench player to come on for him. Alonso better score and keep a CS here.

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      At least l have 2 pointer coming as auto sub
      Ehhh..

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Poor you who just got a great week.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Don't be bitter 😉 I am sure next week's points tally will mean the average over both these two weeks will be very average

  20. Wouldiwas Shookspeared
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is a cheeky Richarlison brace too much to ask? Yes? Ok.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not at all. He'll be eager today after ban and goals for Brazil plus arsenal can't keep clean sheets

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Would be lucky to get anything, so keep your expectations low 😛

  21. Sid1891
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Owner of Fab Alo Arnie and Hazard wanted high scoring one
    Now Arnie not in sqaud...
    looks like Chelsea only scoring
    C’mon Fab;)

  22. Fin
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Are people quitting while they’re ahead with Bilva and shipping him now? Feel like yesterday is the best things can get for a long time

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping till kdb returns

    2. Le Bluff
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Dropped him on WC this week.

      Painful to see him haul but it could easily have been Dilva hauling instead of him. I don't regret it; just glad to be off the City merry-go-round!

      Take his haul and run, IMO.

  23. OPTA FPL

    Arnautovic 20% in top 5k awesome

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Who comes off their bench is my worry

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Exactly a lot will have AWB

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        they will get AW points for mendy anyway, so it's still good

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not if it means they all get AWB's points off the bench... This all but guarantees everyone gets AWB points.

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Most of them were playing WB and benching injured Mendy

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      AWB autosub could be a disaster

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        they will get them for Mendy anyway

  24. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Pedro to richarlison
    So far, so good!

  25. Sir_Durs8
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Patricio Foster
    Alonso Robertson Mendy* AWB Bennett
    Fraser Salah Mane Pedro* Mkhi*
    Aguero Zaha Kamara

    1 FT 0.2 ITB

    I've starred the problem players plus probably 1 of Salah/Mane needs to go with upcoming fixtures.

    Would you wildcard this team? Asking for someone else's team.

      Depends on who you're looking to get and how many transfers it would take. You don't have to lose Mane or Salah to get Hazard. 3 transfers involving losing Mkhi + Pedro + Mendy or Zaha, and playing 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 most weeks.

    Need this 30 mins to go by quickly, anyone know a good song as I keep having the same tune in my head:

    "I'm horny, horny, horny, horny."

    "So horny, horny, horny, horny tonight".

    Its crazy for all the grief Salah has been receiving, he's only 10 points behind Hazard, and 6 behind Aguero, 4th out of all midfielders.

      It’s not the points it’s the price

      Don’t forget, Hazard wasn’t a starter in the first couple of games.
