Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are looking to Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham United for the Gameweek 7 captaincy, and as per usual, the Captain Sensible article is here to highlight which assets have the best chance of hauling.

First, we will assess the fallout of the Gameweek 7 Captain Poll, before then analysing the best options, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline.

THE CAPTAIN POLL

Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) leads the captain poll so far, having gained just under half of total votes from our users at the time of writing.

Second-placed Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) has received 24.01% of votes ahead of his home match against Everton.

Michail Antonio (£8.0m) occupies third-place with 7.49%, with the top-five list completed by Mohamad Salah (£12.6m) and Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m), with 3.26% and 3.14% respectively.

      Lage probably thought Marcal deserved his place at the time but is aware the fans want Ait-Nouri in and Marcal out.

    0 FT & 1.7m

    A) Start Livramento (che) and keep James for after IB
    B) James ➡️ Rudiger -4

    Was planning Semedo & Marcal to Cancelo & Dias/Rudiger for a hit in GW8.

            50-50 I would say. Definitely back for GW9. Having used my WC I want Reece to stay in my team long term over someone like Rudiger (-4) who has a ceiling of 6 points every week bar bonus.

            If I was to get Rudiger in for a hit it would have been for Williams. Considering that atm.

    Sanchez/Rams (Foster)
    Alonso Rudi Marcal (Liv) (3.9)
    Salah Gallagher Benny Gray (Bissouma)
    Ronny Lukaku Pukki

    Leaves 1.8 to get TAA back after IB

    Have a defensive crisis: White, Shaw, TAA, Ayling and Tsimi

    Best case I have 10 players, but probably only 9 with Shaw likely out.

    Thinking TAA -> Azpi for -4, make sense? (will probably play wildcard in GW8)

      If you have to take hits, maybe use the opportunity to think mid-long term and delay the WC. Shaw + Ayling > Tomiyasu + Azpi if you can afford it, for example. Or TAA + Shaw > Azpi + Alonso/Cancelo
