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.

    Semenyo and Senesi is a 20 point start

    Safety score is 16 so a hit would hurt

    1. have you seen cyan
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Its a microscopic green with a hit, 3% for me.

  2. Weeb Kakashi
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Was very reluctant to get Semenyo till now. Would you get him now on WC or too late with the good fixtures behind him?

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Far too late

    2. pundit of punts
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Get him

    3. jacob1989
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He is most essential player. No idea why people wouldn't have him allready

    4. F4L
      1 year, 1 month ago

      too late imo. ppg of 9.5 after 7 gws. gotta think variance goes in the other direction now. if it doesn't, oh well

      1. F4L
        1 year, 1 month ago

        *basically do you think semenyo has a 210+ season in him? i mean if you do, get him still.

        1. have you seen cyan
          1 year, 1 month ago

          He just might. He won't keep up this level of returns, but I can see him getting 200.

          1. F4L
            1 year, 1 month ago

            fair, but even if he was to get 200 now starting 38 matches thats like 200-66/31 = 4.3ppg.

            im always abit hesitant to transfer in players who are overperforming at such a high rate. but again, last season that killed me with mbeumo/cunha doing it all season long so can backfire heavily.

            nothing against semenyo, obviously on fire at the moment. but like wheres the advantage to getting semenyo now really as a non owner. lost ground, cant make it up getting in the second most owned player (i think he is anyways).

            1. have you seen cyan
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Yea, I get your reserves. But there are exceptions to the rule sometimes.

              IDK if its worth getting him now, you'd need a mathematician to tell you.

              1. F4L
                1 year, 1 month ago

                nah mate you're right, it is the sensible thing to get him in. will mull it over but had other plans for my FTs after int break

        2. jacob1989
          1 year, 1 month ago

          But what is reason of not getting him? He is easily affordable. Still good fixtures and bang in form

          1. F4L
            1 year, 1 month ago

            stubbornness mainly 🙂

            explained abit above.

            probably being foolish but is what it is

      2. fedolefan
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thing is, he will probably blank against Palace but what are you expecting GW9 against Ange at home? He may not do much against City but what about useless Villa who are all over the place and then he has a few more good fixtures. He will slow down but probably still keep up with the competition in the near future.

    5. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Told ya

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Just have to get him but he won't really help your rank
      If he is going to blank, Palace away is perhaps the one

    7. Ball Ake
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I feel your pain, it was the same for me and Chris Wood last season, to the eye he looked bang average, apart from the sh!tload of goals. Not in my team once. Vindication this season..

      1. Brosstan
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Semenyo doesn't look bang average though. Looks like he could score every time he has the ball in the final third

        1. Ball Ake
          1 year, 1 month ago

          True, he does look much less like to dry up suddenly

    8. MJF
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I would still buy, still a great price.

    9. PartyTime
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Ask yourself why you were reluctant. Then decide from the answer. I don't have him because of his history in my team. Will I get him? No!

      Think it was Ben Crellin who won FPL without Salah & Semenyo is not as good as Salah imo

      1. fedolefan
        1 year, 1 month ago

        That FPL Review Bot Ben Crellin never won FPL, did he now?

        1. PartyTime
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Ben Crabtree. Won it without Liverpool players but he went without Salah the following season, the rest was misery.

        2. PartyTime
          1 year, 1 month ago

          So he has to hit 200 pts / above for 6 seasons before one should consider comparing him with the

          1. PartyTime
            1 year, 1 month ago

            God of FPL

  3. pundit of punts
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this team? Looking to save FT if no injuries. 🙂

    Raya
    Gabriel - Cash - Gudmundsson
    Salah - Semenyo - Reijnders - KDH
    Haaland - Gyokeres - Pedro

    Dubravka - King - Dorgu - Reinildo

    0.2 m in the bank.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Cash, Gudmundsson, KDH with that bench
      Unbalanced
      Not terrible because you have a lot of good players.
      How many FT?

      1. pundit of punts
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Just 1

      2. pundit of punts
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Cash + Dorgu âž¡ Andersen + Richards lined up in GW 10

        May also downgrade Gyokeres to Mateta in 10 to upgrade KDH to 6.7 m mid

        That’s why want to carry 3 FTs to GW 10

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          1 year, 1 month ago

          WC?

          1. pundit of punts
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Played in GW 2

            1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Alright. Good luck mate

    Ended up spending my ft on Senesi instead of Saka, goooood decision, not!

    1. tutankamun
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Maybe not for this week but long term Senesi looks a good choice. Saka yet to play as well.

  5. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I held Semenyo for constant 2 pointers for pretty much all of last season, crazy the change!

    1. jacob1989
      1 year, 1 month ago

      It was clear he is in another level now. I got him in wc gw4 after u saw his performance vs spurs

    2. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      You must have been very unlucky
      Last season he had 36 starts
      With 11 goals & 7 assists

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Got like 6 goals at the very start and end of the season, and scored elsewhere against teams like Chelsea and Man City. Finally stepped up this season in terms of conversion and consistency.

    Haaland 195% EO... boring

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      1 year, 1 month ago

      What does EO stand for?

      1. jacob1989
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Effective ownership

        1. EDEN THE MAN
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Cheers, how is it calculated, like how do they weight it for it go above 100

          1. Brosstan
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Captaincies can bring the number over 100%

          2. Deulofail
            1 year, 1 month ago

            (Triple) captaincy

          3. have you seen cyan
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Captains push it above 100%, if you captain him, you essentially own him twice.

            1. EDEN THE MAN
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Cheers

          4. jacob1989
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Includes captain and triple captain%. . If 100% own Haaland and everyone c him, hus eo is 200%.
            But the 195% he mentions is incorrect. He must be referring to top 10k or something. As Haaland is overall 58% owned only.

            1. Brosstan
              1 year, 1 month ago

              I have that number from liveFPL which rightly ignores the bottom 2m teams or so

              1. Sheffield Wednesday
                1 year, 1 month ago

                Haaland has 194.6% EO within top 10k

                117% EO if your rank is around 3M

      2. Deulofail
        1 year, 1 month ago

        It's the sound a donkey makes

      3. Brosstan
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Its a number that says how many points the average manager will get from that player. For every point Haaland gets, the average manager gets 195% of those points. If every single manager caps a player he has 200% EO. So Haaland has so much ownership this week that even if you captain him you will barely gain anything from his points. His points are irrelevant.

        If a player you own has more than 100% EO and you didnt captain them, you will lose points whenever that player scores.

        1. EDEN THE MAN
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Ahh right, thanks for insight. So essentially captaining Haaland is simply a break even condition atp

          Where do you find the EO figures?

          1. Brosstan
            1 year, 1 month ago

            LiveFPL.net

        2. Sheffield Wednesday
          1 year, 1 month ago

          This is factually incorrect. The EO figure you quote (195%) is for the top 10k managers only, not for the 'average' manager where his EO is significantly lower.

      4. tutankamun
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Effective ownership.
        100% is effectively everyone owns him. 200% effectively everyone has captained him and only triple captainers will benefit.

        1. tutankamun
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Or what Brosstan said lol.

    Semenyo looks like he weighs more than 175

    1. jacob1989

      So? This isn't boxing with weight classes

    2. Deulofail

            It's a film quote, certainly not meant to offend. I hate Reform more than VAR.

            What you are incorrectly insinuating are about as far from my personal views as it's possible to have my friend

        Palmer is now Darren Anderton.

  9. DaniCT
    1 year, 1 month ago

    When i captained Semenyo he got only defensive contribution points 🙂 oh well.

  10. Dank Squid
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Semenyo is the new Semenyo

  11. Calafiornication

    2 Semenyo caps Im my work minileague

    1. tutankamun
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Just my VC unfortunately (Haaland C)

    2. space mercenary
      1 year, 1 month ago

      VC Semenyo here. Just need Haaland to be benched on Sunday.

      1. ArthurBrutal
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Likewise, VC Semenyo. What are the chances of Haaland not playing?

        1. have you seen cyan
          1 year, 1 month ago

          0.03%

          1. ArthurBrutal
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Some hope then.

  12. Emiliano Sala
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Do you think sesko will keep his place in starting 11?
    Tired of evanilson

    1. Manani
      1 year, 1 month ago

      i can think of 5 other forwards before going for Sesko

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Sesko plays for Manchester United.

      Manchester United are not a good team.

      Strikers don’t get service or score many goals at Manchester United.

        I bought two of them back this GW

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I have only two survivors! That's quite shocking
      Played BB GW1 and Wildcarded GW2
      The survivors are Reijnders and Pedro

    3. have you seen cyan
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I wildcarded in GW2 after a horror start, no survivors.

      1. have you seen cyan

        Oh Salah actually, forgot about that guy.

    4. jacob1989

      Haaland, j pedro and cucurella for me from gw1

    5. Brosstan
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Only VVD and Pedro for me

  14. have you seen cyan
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Semenyo is actually only 75% owned in the top 10k surprisingly. That said, half of the top 10k are probably players who don't play fpl, made a team based on people with cool names or haircuts and forgot about it 😀

    1. jacob1989
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Thats good as i am 57k rank start of this gw. And now jump to 43k.
      I guess some stubborn salah owners cant accommodate semenyo easily

      1. have you seen cyan

        nice, well done

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Even among content creators, Ben Crellin probably the GOAT in terms of past ranks, doesn't have him
      Pras doesn't have him
      JianBatra FHed him out
      Etc

      1. have you seen cyan
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yea, some people are super stubborn with their picks and players they avoid. I think we are all guilty of it to some degree. This season, its me and Pedro. I never want to own him lol. I'll probably die on the hill if needs be.

        1. MJF
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Feel the same on Pedro.

          1. have you seen cyan
            1 year, 1 month ago

            He always blanks when I own him. I know everyone always say this, but its true lol. I also think he is a pen merchant with no pens.

            He isnt a bad player, but he is not for me.

          2. Ball Ake
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Me too, I saw most of his games at Brighton and he does go missing after a while, almost like he can't be arsed...it's coming.

      2. space mercenary
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah, that American guy who went 5 at the back defcon defenders was raving about Semenyo being a terrible pick.

    3. Ball Ake
      1 year, 1 month ago

      It's more fun picking a bald 11, or it used to be until arse to head hair transplants

      1. ArthurBrutal
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Or teams where the surname sounds like a first name; Anthony, Gordon, Kevin, Gabriel, and so on. Fun for about five minutes.

  15. OneTeamInBristol

    Semenyo wouldn't be Semenyo if it wasn't for the mighty Bristol City!

      Where would you be now if you had held onto him and Scott?

  16. Khalico
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Worth doing a Kluivert Semenyo double up or just go Gordon instead of Kluivert ?

    1. BananaDrama
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I was right on the verge of transferring Kluivert in this week, but at the last minute backed out and got Gordon instead. Fingers crossed...

      1. Khalico
        1 year, 1 month ago

        You think it’s good to have both or split the risk across?

    2. fedolefan
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Kluivert didn't start today.

  17. Jebiga
    1 year, 1 month ago

    So semenyo essential now?

    1. More Tragic
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Think so.

      Timing the hop off when Bournemouth hit the wall and flag will be important

    2. tutankamun
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Was essential 6 GWs ago

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah, it was pretty obvious after the Liverpool game

    3. Feanor

      That was GW2.

  18. HD7
    1 year, 1 month ago

    There was a website years ago where you put your ID of the team and it gave you the percentage that your team is template and also gave you quick idea about your gw result before the updates. Is it still available?

    On WC: Double Arsenal attack or Double Arsenal defense?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Double defence

    2. Dank Squid
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Key decision/personal preference.

      I'm currently on double attack, but will switch to double defense later ("best of both worlds" or "oh well, at least I tried").

  20. have you seen cyan
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Is it me, or are there are a crazy amount of late goals this season?

    1. Hooky
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Most teams doing crazy pressing and getting tired at the end of games.

      1. have you seen cyan
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Might be good for betting.

          Championship is the same. Ipswich scored 90 + 16 and Wrexham 90 + 18 the same day!

    1fT to remove Konsa who's dropping tonight 0.0M in bank,
    Best 4.5M defender ? Truffert or Andersen who still managed 13 def con tonight,
    Richards is a option but would 2 x palace defenders be a risk?
    My defence is konsa, van de ven ,guehi,diouff ,4.,0

        Didn’t notice Sels drop might need to hit or WC to refresh

          Yea that Sels drop was annoying. I did a hit for Gyokeres this week and had 0.2 left in the bank, luckily there was no double Pope rise or double Sels drop so I can do it this week. Lost 0.2 though by waiting. Gyokeres better haul.

    Probably been answered before but what takes FPL so long to update?

    Seems bizarre to take 4 hours after a match for everything to be fully updated. Surely it's just a simple automated backend system?

      Maybe the "select everyone at FPL Towers and magically add 10 points" query takes some time to execute (more Pape Matar/Ismaila Sarr-chasm)

      Especially since LiveFPL that has to get all the data second hand gets it almost correct instantly.

      1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Exactly, without even 5% of the software engineering budget FPL has at their disposal I'd imagine. Seems like something a 10 minute AI workflow on n8n could do easily.

            They need to get their ducks in a row with a new workflow. This will capture the low hanging fruit and result in a cross-fertilisation of ideas.

    Debating either:

    Richarlison to Isak or Pedro to Isak

    The other option is Gyorkerez instead of Isak. However, I already own Saka and no Liverpool attackers, which makes me nervous.
