Gameweek 7 comes to its conclusion as Burnley welcome Arsenal to Turf Moor.

The Gunners roll up on the back of four straight league wins, with Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott both in fine recent form.

The Chilean teed up Walcott’s pair of strikes in the midweek Champions League win over FC Basel and with three double-figure hauls in four, carries the armband hopes of many at Turf Moor.

Walcott has now notched five times in seven across all competitions and has risen to 6% ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

Another big performance today would surely kick start a bandwagon over the international break, yet Arsene Wenger’s side face an obstinate Clarets rearguard that has conceded just five goals in the previous 17 league matches in front of their own supporters.

    Is it crazy to do: Sanchez, Capoue out Walcott, Son in?

    1. Dutchboy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      yes imo

    2. HapHazard (H2)
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. Find another solution
      Sanchez has to stay

  2. KingNidge
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Baps in

  3. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Rose is a far better pick than Walker with them both at 5.9m imo.

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      This

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Walker 5.7 for me though

    3. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Annoyingly I'm 0.1 short of both of them in my quest to ditch Shaw

    4. bojack
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd like both and Kosc.

      Had Walker since he was 5.5 🙂

  4. Sourabh

    Walcott got the assist

      Hi Sherlock

      1. Sourabh

        Hi Watson

    2. HapHazard (H2)
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You don't say!

    3. Le _ Professeur

      Internet Explorer ? 😀

      1. Sourabh
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You got It !!! 😛

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    With Pickford + Jaku combo and 2FT, 0.3 idb

    A) Jaku -> Mandanda
    B) Antonio -> Son (today cuz tomorrow can afford)

  6. Dutchboy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Foster / Jakupovic
    Shaw / Stones / Evans / Friend / Amat
    Sanchez / Mane / Sterling / Capoue / Cattermole
    Aguero / Lukaku / Benteke

    I have 2FT and 1.0 itb.

    I wanna do Benteke > Costa at some point, so I'm thinking of doing Foster and Jaku to Pickford and Grant. Mane to Coutinho later and I'll be able to afford Benteke > Costa.

    Thoughts??

  7. Nabs Kebabs
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Theo and Son form can no longer be ignored.

    Antonio, Redmond -> Walcott, Son(-4) done.

    Have the exact money now so price changes tonight would mean I'd get priced out of it so had to act fast. Now time to sleep 🙂

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Check below. Thinking very similar. Opinion appreciated!

    2. HapHazard (H2)
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Great moves!

    3. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Top moves Nabs

    4. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nice

  8. MrMaverick
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    is benteke & fletcher to diomande & son (so 343 to 352) for a -4 worth iy?

    would have a midfield of firmino sterling coutinho Walcott son

  9. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Help needed..

    Taking a risk and making transfers tonight for rises.

    So. Ibra, Capoue, De Roon -> Stuani, Theo, Son -4

    Switching to 3-5-2
    Gives me
    Pick Foster
    Holebas Smith PVA Amat Williams
    Walcott Firmino Sanchez Antonio Son
    Lukaku Kun Stuani

    Do it or rethink? Like just stick with 3-4-3 with say Costa?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How about Ibra to Stuani and Capoue/De Roon to Walcott for free.
      Wait on Son an extra week while he plays West brom as you can play Stuani home to Watford.

      I'm almost forced to get Son this week because of funds but ideally I'd wait a week.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        It's a risk i know. Will think. Cheers Nabs!

  10. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If you had to choose 2 out of these 3 to get in this week:

    A) Walcott (SWA, MID, sun)

    B) Sterling (EVE, SOT, wba)

    C) Son (wba, bou, LEI)

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A and C imo

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not Sterling? 2 Home games. City will be greedy for goals after tonight.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      BC, assuming you have Alexis.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I have Alexis. But I'm very keen on Walcott too.

    3. ARKHAM
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott and Sterling - fixtures.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yea I'm tempted by that.

  11. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would you ever ever take a -12?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, in the unlikely case it was necessary.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      -8 tops for me

    3. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      no, but then i'm not a big fan of hits

    4. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      for a dgw maybe

    5. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Never have.. would have to be left with no choice to consider

    6. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I could easily take a -12/-16 by the end of this international break.

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        same....my team has all the quality and style of a bin bag full of dog turds

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yep. No clue what has really went wrong either but hey ho, will just have to see what comes of it all!

      2. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Wish I was playing you next week 😉

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Any week really should be easy points. Ever since the WC I've tumbled into a million and something ranking with no signs of it improving 😛

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            You''ll come good 🙂
            Deadpool beat the Death Star these days then?

      3. FPL Footy Show Pod
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I've decided on Barkley > Son & Redmond > Snodders.

        Considering Williams > Smith to enable Friend > Monreal/Kosc

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          They look good.

          But what will happen will be a Son RC, Snoddy injury, Redmond hattie and Barkley brace.

          1. FPL Footy Show Pod
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Yep. Redmond dares to score a Hattie after I TR him I'll steal his dog

    7. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      only to have starting XI (injury apocalypse scenario)

    8. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Took -8 for 3 weeks in a row now.

      So guess I would. Needs must.

  12. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Son and Alexis likely to be benched in GW 8 right?

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nah

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        They both played less than 20 mins in GW 4.

        1. BB-8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Son played 90 and got 19

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Oops! wrong column 😀

    2. sttewwizza
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Alexis yup!

    3. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why Son?

    4. HapHazard (H2)
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think so.

      1. Rich_20
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Wenger wont make that mistake again. Plus South Korea play on the 11th. He will be back on the 12th with couple days recovery.

  13. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    what a naff week..............started so well with lukaku n firminho.................they were my only points 🙁

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah.

      Holebas and Morgan were my only points.

      Also, did Hazard + Costa (-4) -> Lallana + Aguero

      Big win.

    2. stachman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Know the feeling... I have Kaku and Tekkers... And that's pretty much it...

      1. stachman
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Oh wait... Forgot about PVA... Kinda saved me from disaster...

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Better than most I'm sure, Colonel. Infamous gameweek 8 next to make us all feel better!

    4. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      40 all in 🙁

  14. kingcairo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I think this is gonna be the most difficult season in fpl in terms of consistent performances and selections. BTW we hard get CS. And lots of goals that shouldn't have stood.

  15. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Koscielny scored a third of my team's points! Car crash of a gameweek until the final minutes.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      might think about getin kosc or bellers over wally

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Wally and Pieters coming in for Klavan and Antonio for me. Worth a -4, I think.

  16. sttewwizza
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How can it be an asiss by Walcott, when Ox touched the ball befor Koscielny!?!?!?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Replays showed be didn't - Kos kicked it on to his own hand

      1. sttewwizza
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        thanks

  17. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    They didn't hang about with the baps this time, no review needed obviously.

  18. Rich_20
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Love, ibra, capoue, redmond OUT. Son, vertonghen, Mane and Diomande (fodder) IN. -8. Risky but what the heck, price rises/drops will kill me otherwise.

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Who thinks Walcott will price rise tonight? How was he today?

    Got the exact money to do Fletcher > Walcott at the minute!

    Not a fan of early transfers like and only have 1ft! What you guys think? Need some advice!!

    Current team:
    Heaton
    Walker ..... Williams ..... Lovren
    Sanchez ..... Son ..... Capoue ..... Firmino
    Deeney ..... Kun ..... Lukaku

    (Jaku, Evans, Fletcher, Amat)

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Walcott might just make it.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      YeH, he's going to rise.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How was he today? Missed the game 🙁

  20. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years

    Best 5 million defender?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm looking at Cedric. If only he had better fix

    2. ARKHAM
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Morgan

    3. Chucky
      • 12 Years

  21. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Is Ozil to Son a no brainer? Already got Wallcot

    1. Rich_20
      • 9 Years

      Yep.

    2. Mata-Is-The-Juan

  23. joersherman
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Who to ditch first; Valencia or Evans?

    Worth upgrading Valencia to a rose/arsenal def or go for Holebas? Have 0.7 itb but if I use for a def I can't upgrade Antonio to son/walcott

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Evans -- Valencia to ARS defender.

  24. MrMaverick
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    is benteke & fletcher to diomande & son (so 343 to 352) for a -4 worth it?

    would have a midfield of firmino sterling coutinho Walcott son

    1. stachman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think Tekkers will continue scoring...

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Could be, but Benteke's doing alright isn't he?

      1. MrMaverick
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        apart from west ham, fixtures take a turn for the worst

        son price rise making me act fast

  25. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    The internationals are annoying (without a WC) where you want to get in players early to avoid price drops/rises but then you risk players getting injured while on duty...

  26. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    right may wait since its the in break.....

    but vardy n redmond to tekkers n wally....................?? no brainer shirley

  27. teki0s
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Bottomed. Choose one of each

    A) Pieters
    B) Cameron

    1) Koscielny

  28. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Son or Walcott? Can't have both as I want to keep Sterling

  29. Dr. Rog

    Heaton Pickford
    Walker Williams McAuley/Holebas (Amat)
