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
      9 months, 17 days ago

      The wildcard counts as 1 transfer

  2. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    9 months, 17 days ago

    Do you reckon Raya raises twice before deadline?

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Only if he hauls.

    2. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Unlikely. Goalies are too boring

    3. Dank Squid
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        9 months, 17 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
          • 7 Years
          9 months, 17 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
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Needs a 15 pointer tomorrow for that to happen

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      No chance

  3. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    9 months, 17 days 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
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Yup but only a minor injury

    2. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Ha ha, yes. Just a calf tweak.

    3. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

      1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        • 1 Year
        9 months, 17 days ago

        Imagine EO is a factor

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        9 months, 17 days ago

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

  4. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    9 months, 17 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
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 17 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
    9 months, 17 days ago

    Imagine not owning Semenyo.

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Imagined. That's the exercise?

    3. Ball Ake
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      I prefer John Lennon's version

      1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        • 1 Year
        9 months, 17 days ago

        Imagine all the Virgin’s
        Scaring Neale to Death

    4. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

  6. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    9 months, 17 days ago

    Is Timber nailed ? Xx

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Yes for now

    2. MJF
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Dunno, probably xx

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      No

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 months, 17 days ago

        Xx

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          9 months, 17 days ago

          Haha forgot where i was

    4. Mr. Eko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Ben White will get games

    5. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Especially in construction

  7. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 months, 17 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
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Upvoting me doesn't help

      1. AAAFootball
        • 1 Year
        9 months, 17 days ago

        Genuinely just discovered the upvoting function

    2. Ball Ake
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 17 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
        9 months, 17 days ago

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

    3. Dank Squid
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 17 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
        9 months, 17 days ago

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

        1. Dank Squid
          • 7 Years
          9 months, 17 days ago

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

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      No robot no go 😛

  8. Plyng
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    9 months, 17 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
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

      1. AAAFootball
        • 1 Year
        9 months, 17 days ago

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

        1. Not again Shirley
          • 9 Years
          9 months, 17 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
    9 months, 17 days ago

    Man Senesi is becoming hard to ignore

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 17 days ago

        Nah - 6 out of 7 games has DC points!

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          9 months, 17 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
            9 months, 17 days ago

            Better sell Haaland after next blank then lol

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 17 days ago

        I’m not that kneejerky to be put off 😉

    2. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 17 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
          • 1 Year
          9 months, 17 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
            9 months, 17 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
            9 months, 17 days ago

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

            1. space mercenary
              • 6 Years
              9 months, 17 days ago

              Tactical change.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Truffert over Senesi

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

  10. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 17 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
      9 months, 17 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
        9 months, 17 days ago

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

        1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
          • 9 Years
          9 months, 17 days ago

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

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            9 months, 17 days ago

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

            1. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              9 months, 17 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
                9 months, 17 days ago

                😆 I do get you

        2. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 months, 17 days ago

          198% EO or something

          1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
            • 9 Years
            9 months, 17 days ago

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

  11. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    9 months, 17 days ago

    Is there no what if on Livefpl anymore?

  12. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    9 months, 17 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
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

  13. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    9 months, 17 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
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

      1. AAAFootball
        • 1 Year
        9 months, 17 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
          • 6 Years
          9 months, 17 days ago

          Another sneaky one here 😛

        2. WVA
          • 9 Years
          9 months, 17 days ago

          Chalobah would have more points than Gabriel without that red

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      And pedros fixtures better than Wolt

  14. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 months, 17 days ago

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

    1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Sinner & Alcaraz in better form tbf

      1. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 17 days ago

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

        1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
          • 1 Year
          9 months, 17 days ago

          give it Emma Raducanu till end of season

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

  15. Richm
    • 4 Years
    9 months, 17 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
    9 months, 17 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
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Yes

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Depends on the rest of your team.

    3. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Sanchez wont drop tonight, i'd wait

    4. MJF
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Absolutely no chance.

  17. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Wildcard Team

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

    Subs: Dubravka, Anthony, Anderson, Ven De Van

    Any changes you would make?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

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

  18. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    9 months, 17 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
    9 months, 17 days ago

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

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 17 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
        9 months, 17 days ago

        Nope WC

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          9 months, 17 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
            9 months, 17 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
              • 6 Years
              9 months, 17 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 🙂

    Hey, stop deleting my posts. It's not my fault someone is haunting me

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 17 days ago

      Its you who keeps flagging it lol

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years

        False accusation. I only report the nudists

    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

      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
