It’s that time of the week again when we give Fantasy Premier League managers the chance to put questions to our panel.

If you have a burning query as you prepare for Gameweek 7 then we’re here to help.

We’ve assembled another panel of three Fantasy managers this week and will be bringing you a different set for each Gameweek over the course of the season.

You can find out what their answers are Monday.

Who’s on the panel this week?

Az – Well-known name on Twitter and beyond, who cracked the top 1k in 2017/18 (finishing with an enviable overall rank of 817) after previously having recorded two finishes inside the top 5,000.

Joe – the host of our Scoutcast – plus many other weekly videos – and who sits 79th in our Career Hall of Fame, having recorded seven top 10,000 finishes in ten seasons of playing FPL (including an “OR” of 840 in 2013/14).

Holly Shand – Founder of the popular Fantasy Football Community website and recent video star for Official FPL.

    Kane in with a view to captaining over the next 2 is very tempting. Could prove a great differential against the top 10k and broader FFS community. Certainly a differential in all my MLs.

    Have you ever had 8 of your starting 11 playing in just 2 fixtures?

    PVA, AWB, Zaha, Fraser, J. King, Robertson, Salah, Alonso.

    Would you be comfortable with this or would you look to break up your team a little?

      Not really an issue to be honest...

      When you have triple or double up on certain teams, this scenario is likely to happen occasionally.

      King, Fraser and Zaha have no bearing on each other.

      PVA can get offensive returns. AWB can get bonus points if your Bournemouth assets fail.

      Robertson and Alonso can both do well. Both can contribute offensively if they concede.

      Salah and Zaha are both very likely to be involved if their team score a goal.

      You just have to accept that your ceiling this GW is fairly low. On the other hand it's likely that half your players will get some points.

    Is now the time to invest in Burnley players given they have settled back into PL games post Europa exit and have some decent fixtures ? If so who?

    I am thinking either Hart or Tarkowski in defence, Lennon or Gudmundsson in midfield.

              Will miss the odd game here and there but I'd be very surprised if he didn't play against Brighton next week. Just need a decent bench to cover rotation when it occurs. I have Walcott off the bench this week.

              I’m hoping about 12.6 in time for gw9 assuming he stays quiet for 2 games

              Don't think Poch will trust Aurier against Barca so Trip will probably sit out either Huddersfield or Cardiff. You still might want the attacking threat though if they keep conceding.

            Next gws transfers will possibly be the most important 2 transfers I make all season.

            It could decide if I win this thing or end up 2,345,768 OR come seasons end. 🙂

            I haven't the foggiest idea what to do. 🙁

            Time to get rid of Salah? Sterling or Spurs mid with two nice games coming up is tempting. What are you Salah-owners doing?

                Keeping. He's nailed and sure to play 80-90 mins in 2 games likely to be goalfests. Only one I'd sell for is Hazard and I can get him for Mane instead.

              Getting in Steve Cook on my WC in GW3 was a horrid decision! Had him autosub in for 1 point last week and 0 this week. Bouremouth defence for crying out loud, what was I thinking! Goodbye and good riddance Stevie boy 🙂
