Gameweek 7 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at the Vitality Stadium, where Bournemouth and Fulham meet in a 20:00 BST kick-off.

TEAM NEWS

Andoni Iraola makes four changes to the side that started the 2-2 draw with Leeds United last week.

James Hill, Alex Scott, Marcus Tavernier and David Brooks all get recalls.

Alex Jimenez, Ryan Christie, Amine Adli and Justin Kluivert drop to the bench.

As for Fulham, they are without both of their main strikers, Rodrigo Muniz and Raul Jimenez, potentially prompting Marco Silva to switch to a back-three formation.

The one change from last week’s defeat at Villa Park sees centre-back Issa Diop replace Raul.

Josh King, Alex Iwobi and Harry Wilson make up the front three.

Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Hill, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Adams, Semenyo, Tavernier, Brooks, Evanilson

Subs: Dennis, Cook, Christie, Doak, Kluivert, Jimenez, Adli, Kroupi Jr, Milosavljevic

Fulham XI: Leno, Diop, Andersen, Bassey, Castagne, Berge, Lukic, Sessegnon, King, Iwobi, Wilson

Subs: Lecomte, Cuenca, Robinson, Cairney, Adama, Chukwueze, Kevin, Smith Rowe, Kusi-Asare

    If I’ve only made 2 transfers since gameweek 1 and wildcarded in 6 should I not have 5 FT in gameweek 8?

    On FPL showing 4

    1. Brosstan
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      The wildcard counts as 1 transfer

  2. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Do you reckon Raya raises twice before deadline?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Only if he hauls.

    2. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Unlikely. Goalies are too boring

    3. Dank Squid
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      GK rising twice, even during an IB? Must be low odds

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Yea, its pretty rare. Wildcards however may make it look like he is close to a double rise though. Livefpl said the other week like 2/3 times that Raya would rise and he didn't on those days.

        Pope's a good option anyway, so being priced out of Raya isnt the end of the world.

        1. Dank Squid
          • 8 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          Yeah, probably WCs - know many are playing the chip now. That being said, maybe the Gabriel "scare" had an impact, otherwise it makes little sense.

          Agree, Pope should be a great option

    4. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Needs a 15 pointer tomorrow for that to happen

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      No chance

  3. Amartey Partey
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Anyone else need Haaland to get injured in the warm up so that Semenyo gets the cap!

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Yup but only a minor injury

    2. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Ha ha, yes. Just a calf tweak.

    3. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Why not just have Haaland play and score more than Semenyo?

      1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        • 1 Year
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Imagine EO is a factor

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Because almost everyone has captained Haaland, but less people have VC'd Semenyo.

  4. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Just looked at my team for next week. Bench is already rough with Reinildo suspended, Grealish not eligible, and Tarkowski playing City away.

    Hoping for no an injury free international break

    1. Dank Squid
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Tarkowski DC points, decent score unless Everton concede heaps. IB might help, many City players out and about

  5. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Imagine not owning Semenyo.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Apparantly quite a few as my rank has jumped up quite a bit!

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Imagined. That's the exercise?

    3. Ball Ake
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      I prefer John Lennon's version

      1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        • 1 Year
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Imagine all the Virgin’s
        Scaring Neale to Death

    4. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      I wonder if you can
      No need for Gab or Haaland
      A rank that's truly bland

  6. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Is Timber nailed ? Xx

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Yes for now

    2. MJF
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Dunno, probably xx

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      No

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Xx

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 13 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          Haha forgot where i was

    4. Mr. Eko
      • 4 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Ben White will get games

    5. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Especially in construction

  7. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Good to go?????

    Dúbravka
    Gabriel Cucurella Muñoz
    Saka Semenyo Gordon(c) Paquetá
    Isak Gyokeres(v) Mateta

    Petrovic | Reijnders, Senesi, Porro

    1FT. 0.6 ITB

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Upvoting me doesn't help

      1. AAAFootball
        • 1 Year
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Genuinely just discovered the upvoting function

    2. Ball Ake
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      If you take the hipster choice of no Salah or Haaland, surely the football fates would have made you captain Semenyo

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        The gods no longer intervene. They have washed their hands of me

    3. Dank Squid
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      I like it, Deufferential. No H******, but that team looks good. Wish I owned Cucurella, he should score a couple in GW 9->

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        So far it's a Deufferenfail! Wish I didn't own Cucurella

        1. Dank Squid
          • 8 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          He'll come good, soon. I own Virgil Van Fail, not much better

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      No robot no go 😛

  8. Plyng
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Reckon salah price drop today?
    All the predictors suggest it but surely Salah(H) at Utd could be a haul.

    Debating selling and rebuying back just for the 0.1 in the bank saved

    1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Only another 7m worth of drops before it reflects his footballing ability.

      1. AAAFootball
        • 1 Year
        11 months, 23 days ago

        haha typical salah hater
        Not that i mind as an everton fan, though

        1. Not again Shirley
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          He is right though. Salah should be nowhere near 14.5 million in value any more.

  9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Man Senesi is becoming hard to ignore

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Because he conceded a goal and was subbed early with only 7 DCs?

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Nah - 6 out of 7 games has DC points!

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 7 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          I'm quite superstitious with FPL players. This Senesi blank is probably the beginning of the end.

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            11 months, 23 days ago

            Better sell Haaland after next blank then lol

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        I’m not that kneejerky to be put off 😉

    2. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Yeah his 2 pointer really has me brimming with envy too.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Haha I remember couple of years ago I had Robinson or something on a Friday night game and got 2 points, ended up being my highest scorer in a Gameweek average of I think 18 it was

        1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
          • 2 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          I get what you mean overall he's a good asset just seemed like a strange time to say he's hard to ignore after that performance.

          Haven't watched BOU much this season but after watching that game Diakite is the far superior footballer.

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            11 months, 23 days ago

            I’m just a bit slow to notice players this season, only noticed this evening his DC record facepalm

          2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            11 months, 23 days ago

            Tbf probably would have hit DC again today if played 90, did he go off injured?

            1. space mercenary
              • 6 Years
              11 months, 23 days ago

              Tactical change.

    3. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Truffert over Senesi

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      He would have probably got DC points again if he'd stayed on.

  10. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    What’s best for rank? Got Semenyo VC and Haaland C, am I better off with Haaland haul or miss out completely and Semenyo becoming captain?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Almost certainly Haaland no-show, but strictly it depends on how much other people score from their VCs

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Really? Find that surprising, his ownership must be well high then

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          Or is it more that Semenyo VC ownership is really low?

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            11 months, 23 days ago

            It's that it's lower than Haaland's. Doesn't matter by how much

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              11 months, 23 days ago

              Or rather, the EO of Semenyo (in the context of a Halland no-show) is lower than the EO of Haaland (in the context of Haaland playing). Something like that, but you just fried my brain. Seemed obvious till I started typing

              1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
                • 9 Years
                11 months, 23 days ago

                😆 I do get you

        2. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          198% EO or something

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            11 months, 23 days ago

            Wow mad, still got Salah so need him to do well!

  11. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Is there no what if on Livefpl anymore?

  12. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Only got 1 FT, buts its very tempting to flush Sels from my team tonight for Pope. I should wait though, right?

    It is the move I'm ultimately going to make though as I have exact cash and one of them will probably change price during this break. That said, I may as well just play Dub next week regardless.

    1. AAAFootball
      • 1 Year
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Just did that as my first move on wc, no regrets

  13. dhamphiir
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    WC Draft. Any changes needed?
    Planning to play BB chip soon.

    Pope - Dubravka
    Gabriel - Sensei - Richards - Rodon - Alderete
    Saka - Gordon - Semenyo - Sarr - Reijnders
    Haaland - Gyokeres - Pedro

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Looks pretty good. I'd probably go Wolte and Enzo personally, but apples and oranges.

      1. AAAFootball
        • 1 Year
        11 months, 23 days ago

        I like to hear that, just sacrificed my saved value in jped for wolte on wc, catching tonights rise

        Also have enzo to try and cover chelsea as i dont like any of the defense and the foward spot was too competitive with wolt and gyok beating the brazilian thanks to their more advanced roles

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 7 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          Another sneaky one here 😛

        2. WVA
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          Chalobah would have more points than Gabriel without that red

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      And pedros fixtures better than Wolt

  14. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Djokores is only 27.8% owned. Feels like every team on here owns him.

    1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Sinner & Alcaraz in better form tbf

      1. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Remains to be seen on Sinner. Alcaraz just has 1 start and 4 points this season.

        1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
          • 2 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          give it Emma Raducanu till end of season

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      I don't. I put my faith in 3 Arsenal at the back instead.

  15. Richm
    • 4 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Worth wildcarding this
    Sanchez to pope/raya
    Esteve to alderete
    Konsa to timber/gabriel
    Bruno to stach
    Giui to Gyokeres / Pedro

    Rest of team: Dubravka, vdv , rodon ,senesi , salah , Semenyo , Reijnders, kudus , Haaland , woltemade.

  16. Ronnies
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Exact money for Sanchez to Raya. Would you do it before Sanchez drops in price tonight?
    Cheers.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Yes

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Depends on the rest of your team.

    3. _Ninja_
      • 16 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Sanchez wont drop tonight, i'd wait

    4. MJF
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Absolutely no chance.

  17. The Polymath

    Wildcard Team

    Raya
    Gabriel, Senesi, Richards
    Semenyo, Sarr, Reijnders, Fernades
    Halland, Gyokerez, J Pedro

    Any changes you would make?

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Truffert over Senesi
      Fernades?
      Anthony fixtures meh
      Don’t think you’ll want to play VdV again until January

  18. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Have had Semenyo for the past few GWs. But there's always a lingering feeling he's gonna stop producing anytime soon lol

  19. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Points on Friday night with one player - 18 pts
    GW Rank - 5m+
    Game's gone.

  20. The Polymath

    A) Saka
    B) Gyokeres

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      A

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 23 days ago

      Is this for tomorrow? I would pick Saka but don't dilly-dally, get it done!

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Nope WC

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          11 months, 23 days ago

          Just down the hall on the left, there are some stairs, follow them down and around the corner, you'll see bucks on the left and does on the right. Take your pick and don't get lost!

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            11 months, 23 days ago

            Oh no, I'm so sorry. Please don't smite me. I don't know the answer. I'm sorry. That's why I bought them both this week. Okay okay, I think it's Saka. Go for Saka.

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 7 Years
              11 months, 23 days ago

              Ok mods, I won't do it anymore. Don't ban me, I don't have access to this email lol. I didn't tell anyone how to do it 🙂

    WC draft

    Mamadarsvli Dubravka
    Saliba Burn Andersen Richards Diakite
    Salah Saka Gordon Sarr King
    Haaland DCL 4.3

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years

      Too heavy on premium imo

      1. DeSelby
        • 4 Years
        11 months, 23 days ago

        Too heavy on DCL. Yeesh.

  22. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 months, 23 days ago

    Forgot to BB this.

    Sels, Cucurella, Hartman, J.Pedro

    How annoying

    Been out all evening, so missed the game. Was anything up with Senesi, or was it tactical? I appreciate it's First World problems, but not impressed with his measly 7 DefCons.

    Want to catch the Saka price rise however I'm 0.3 short.. so a -4 needed. Really open to options

    Gapko -> Saka is the move, then who/where do I downgrade for that 0.3? BB played.

    Dub, Sanchez
    Senesi, Guehi, Burn, Gab, VDV
    Gapko*, Semenyo, Grealish, Reij, Kudus
    Haaland, Gyok, Mateta.

    1. Mateta - Wolf to catch the rise or go cheaper?
    2. Midfielder - Grealish or Kudus out bring in Minteh/King/Xhaka as fodder
    4. Defender - probably loose VDV for a 4mil

    1. Yes Ndidi

      Grealish > Minteh for me if you're going to do it.

      Although you don't have a 4m def, so you could do number 4 and get away with it.

    Looking at my squad for GW8 and virtually everyone has great fixtures (aside from Bournemouth away at Palace) - predict BB will be popular this week.

      I wish I had saved mine.. Sanchez (nfo), Stach (bur), Ballard (WOL), Gud (bur)

        I managed 19pts from an earlier BB, so I have a cheap non-starting enabler last on my bench, however my default bench includes:

        Dúbravka (LEE), Mukiele (WOL), Rodon (bur), [L.Miley]

      What did you take a screenshot of? Someone is going around deleting our posts just because someone else is downvoting replies in the thread.

        The thing I 'congratulated' you for that was later removed. Won't repeat for obvious reasons.

      I did WC this week thinking I might BB in 8 or 9 but I don't really like either week. Got a defender and attacker on both Bournemouth and Palace. Not ideal. Not sure if waiting is going to offer anything better.

    I know this question always comes up BUT if I make 3 transfers now (only 1 ft) then hit WC later in the week will the hits be wiped out?

      Yes

      You know this question always comes up, yet you don’t know the answer?

    Well that’s a pisser. Just Semenyo tonight and nobody got a clean sheet, but still got a red arrow courtesy of a hit.

    Time to WC? Or just use transfers over the next weeks to get Semenyo in?

    at this point I guess every one has Semenyo right? So only way to gain points from him is to captain him
