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
      • 11 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      The wildcard counts as 1 transfer

  2. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    8 months, 12 hours ago

    Do you reckon Raya raises twice before deadline?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      Only if he hauls.

    2. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      Unlikely. Goalies are too boring

    3. Dank Squid
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

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

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 12 hours 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
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 12 hours 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
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      Needs a 15 pointer tomorrow for that to happen

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      No chance

  3. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    8 months, 12 hours ago

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

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      Yup but only a minor injury

    2. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      Ha ha, yes. Just a calf tweak.

    3. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      8 months, 10 hours ago

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

      1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        • 1 Year
        8 months, 10 hours ago

        Imagine EO is a factor

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 10 hours ago

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

  4. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    8 months, 12 hours 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
      • 7 Years
      8 months, 12 hours 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
    8 months, 12 hours ago

    Imagine not owning Semenyo.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

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

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      Imagined. That's the exercise?

    3. Ball Ake
      • 1 Year
      8 months, 12 hours ago

      I prefer John Lennon's version

      1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        • 1 Year
        8 months, 10 hours ago

        Imagine all the Virgin’s
        Scaring Neale to Death

    4. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 12 hours ago

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

  6. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years

    Is Timber nailed ? Xx

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years

      Yes for now

        Ben White will get games

      • Benedict_Alexander_Arnold

      Good to go?????

      Dúbravka
      Gabriel Cucurella Muñoz
      Saka Semenyo Gordon(c) Paquetá

        Upvoting me doesn't help

        1. AAAFootball

            Genuinely just discovered the upvoting function

        2. Ball Ake
          • 1 Year
          8 months, 12 hours 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
            8 months, 12 hours ago

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

        3. Dank Squid
          • 7 Years
          8 months, 12 hours 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
            8 months, 12 hours ago

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

            1. Dank Squid
              • 7 Years
              8 months, 12 hours ago

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

        4. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        8 months, 12 hours 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
          • 1 Year
          8 months, 12 hours ago

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

          1. AAAFootball
              8 months, 12 hours ago

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

              1. Not again Shirley
                • 9 Years
                8 months, 12 hours ago

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

        2. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 12 hours ago

          Man Senesi is becoming hard to ignore

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 months, 12 hours ago

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

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              8 months, 12 hours ago

              Nah - 6 out of 7 games has DC points!

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 6 Years
                8 months, 12 hours ago

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

                1. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  8 months, 12 hours ago

                  Better sell Haaland after next blank then lol

            2. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              8 months, 12 hours ago

              I’m not that kneejerky to be put off 😉

          2. #1 Arne Engels Fan
            • 1 Year
            8 months, 12 hours ago

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

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              8 months, 12 hours 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
                • 1 Year
                8 months, 12 hours 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. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  8 months, 12 hours ago

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

                2. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  8 months, 12 hours ago

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

                  1. space mercenary
                    • 6 Years
                    8 months, 12 hours ago

                    Tactical change.

          3. WVA
            • 9 Years
            8 months, 12 hours ago

            Truffert over Senesi

          4. Amartey Partey
            • 6 Years
            8 months, 12 hours ago

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

        3. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          8 months, 12 hours 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
            8 months, 12 hours ago

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

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              8 months, 12 hours ago

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

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                8 months, 12 hours ago

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

                1. Deulofail
                  • 10 Years
                  8 months, 12 hours ago

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

                  1. Deulofail
                    • 10 Years
                    8 months, 12 hours 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. Scapegoat Salah
                      • 9 Years
                      8 months, 12 hours ago

                      😆 I do get you

              2. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                8 months, 12 hours ago

                198% EO or something

                1. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  8 months, 12 hours ago

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

        4. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          8 months, 12 hours ago

          Is there no what if on Livefpl anymore?

        5. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          8 months, 12 hours 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
              8 months, 12 hours ago

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

          2. dhamphiir
            • 10 Years
            8 months, 12 hours 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
              • 6 Years
              8 months, 12 hours ago

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

              1. AAAFootball
                  8 months, 12 hours 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
                    • 6 Years
                    8 months, 12 hours ago

                    Another sneaky one here 😛

                  2. WVA
                    • 9 Years
                    8 months, 12 hours ago

                    Chalobah would have more points than Gabriel without that red

              2. WVA
                • 9 Years
                8 months, 12 hours ago

                And pedros fixtures better than Wolt

            2. fedolefan
              • 11 Years
              8 months, 12 hours ago

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

              1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
                • 1 Year
                8 months, 12 hours ago

                Sinner & Alcaraz in better form tbf

                1. fedolefan
                  • 11 Years
                  8 months, 12 hours ago

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

                  1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
                    • 1 Year
                    8 months, 12 hours ago

                    give it Emma Raducanu till end of season

              2. Amartey Partey
                • 6 Years
                8 months, 12 hours ago

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

            3. Richm
              • 4 Years
              8 months, 12 hours 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.

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

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

                      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!

                        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.

                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
                  • 6 Years
                  8 months, 11 hours ago

                  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]

                  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?
