FPL Gameweek 7 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned

It was a low-scoring day for many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, with blanks for many of the most-owned players and the widely backed captaincy picks.

Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m) contrived to hit the post from three yards en route to a fourth blank in five appearances, while Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) owners had to swallow a ‘one-pointer’ after the Manchester United forward was surprisingly named among the substitutes at Old Trafford and reduced to a 35-minute cameo.

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of the day’s games but in the meantime, our resurrected Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on from the day’s Gameweek 7 fixtures.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-expanding website, and our own Premium Members Area.

GOALS, ASSISTS, PROJECTED BONUS

INJURIES AND BANS

Anthony Martial (£8.4m) picked up a knock in Manchester United’s draw with Everton, a match that Luke Shaw (£5.4m) was passed fit for after illness and injury.

Ben Mee (£4.9m) was a surprise no-show when the Burnley teamsheet was released, with the first-choice stopper picking up an ankle injury in training that his manager doesn’t think is serious.

The Clarets lost a further player during the clash with Norwich, with Matej Vydra (£5.3m) suffering a knock.

Watford’s defeat at Leeds was further compounded by the loss of two players to injury, with Josh King (£5.5m) and Francisco Sierralta (£4.3m) both limping off. Xisco Munoz doesn’t yet know the severity of either issue.

King’s departure saw Emmanuel Dennis (£5.3m) move into a centre-forward role, following his recent stint on the left flank.

Leeds lost a key player of their own, with Stuart Dallas (£5.3m) hobbling off – Marcelo Bielsa said after full-time that it was too early for a prognosis on the Northern Ireland international.

Joe Willock (£5.9m) lasted little more than half an hour of Newcastle’s defeat to Wolves before succumbing to a hip injury.

Bukayo Saka (£6.3m) limped out of Arsenal’s match against Brighton and Hove Albion late on but Mikel Arteta said he “should be fine.”

On the ban front, James Ward-Prowse (£6.4m) was sent off for serious foul play against Chelsea and will miss Southampton’s next three matches. One of those games is in the EFL Cup, however, so he’ll be back in Gameweek 10.

THE THINGS WE LEARNED

FPL Gameweek 7 round-up: Saturday review, injury news and the things we learned 8
NOT TOO BIG TO BENCH

Reaffirming Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m) as the club’s penalty taker one week, benching Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m) the next… a cynic might suggest that the last fortnight has been some sort of power play from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and/or an audition to be the new voice of Sage.

The Norwegian however cited the need for freshness ahead of kick-off when asked about his decision to leave Ronaldo and Paul Pogba (£7.8m) out of his starting XI:

“Wednesday night was a big effort, big emotional and physical output, so we needed to freshen it up when it’s an early kick-off.” – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Whatever the motivation for Ronaldo’s demotion to impact substitute in Gameweek 7 (he is 36, lest we forget), it was a notice to FPL managers that even the Portuguese club legend isn’t going to be immune from the odd rest over the coming weeks and months.

WE HAVE A PLAYING £4.0m GOALKEEPER

Ben Foster (£4.0m) had started the last two Premier League matches for Watford but it wasn’t abundantly clear whether he was the undisputed number one at Vicarage Road, given that Daniel Bachmann (£4.5m) had been plagued by a knee injury over the last fortnight.

Passed fit by the Hornets on Thursday, Bachmann returned to the matchday squad against Leeds – but was only among the substitutes, with Foster keeping his place.

The veteran was repeatedly called into action against Leeds and one of the few to emerge from the defeat with any credit.

Watford haven’t kept a clean sheet all season so he’s probably not an option for anything other than emergency bench duty, especially with the fixtures turning iffy over the next eight Gameweeks.

IS HWANG/RAUL THE NEW JOTA/JIMENEZ?

Bruno Lage praised the link-up play between Hwang Hee-chan (£5.5m) and Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) ahead of Saturday’s win over Newcastle and the pair duly combined for both of Wolves’ goals on Saturday.

It certainly wasn’t a vintage attacking display by Bruno Lage’s side, who had fewer shots than all top-flight teams bar Watford on Saturday.

And a conversion rate of 60% (three goals from five shots) isn’t obviously sustainable for Hwang in the long term.

But Wolves having a more clinical striker up top is a welcome change from the profligacy we’ve seen so far in 2021/22 and a potential boon to Jimenez, who has created more chances than any other FPL forward this season.

The Mexican is the only player among the top 10k’s 20 most-owned FPL assets who has delivered a double-digit haul in Gameweek 7 so far:

STRONG BENCHES ARE NEEDED

Not so much a lesson learned as a weekly reminder, in this instance – and not for the first time – from Thomas Tuchel.

Managers whose teams are playing in Europe and are still in the EFL Cup face two games a week from now until the end of the calendar year and the irksome rotation is well underway.

On top of Ronaldo and Pogba at United, we saw Marcos Alonso (£6.0m) and Andreas Christensen (£5.0m) dropped to the bench for Chelsea’s win over Southampton.

STAT WATCH – GAMEWEEK 7

We’re historically used to seeing Andros Townsend (£5.5m) score screamers from distance but the winger earlier in the week discussed the work he was doing under Rafael Benitez to get closer to the goal.

And, wouldn’t you know it, the ex-England wide-man is joint-top for shots in the box in Gameweek 7 so far and at the top of the pile for expected goal involvement (xGI).

Townsend is now joint-second among midfielders for FPL points alongside the man who teed him up for his fifth attacking return of the season at Old Trafford, Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m).

He’s also top of the FPL form table, which calculates a player’s average score from all matches played by his club in the last 30 days.

Marc Cucurella (£5.0m) turned in a man-of-the-match showing in the evening kick-off at the Amex and, as is not always the case, the maximum bonus was dished out to the best player on the park.

No player has created more chances than the Brighton wing-back in Gameweek 7 so far and, since his debut in Gameweek 4, only two FPL defenders have registered more final-third touches.

    Ooft 40 points and up to 207 k from 486 k didn’t see that coming although I’m sure Antonio will hurt me tomorrow

    Sanchez/Steele
    TAA/Dias/Alonso/Duffy/Williams
    Salah/Greenwood/Benrahma/Raphinha/Sarr
    Lukaku/Antonio/Scarlett

    Looking to trf before price rise:

    a) Greenwood+Williams> Saka+ Azpilicueta/Rudiger
    b) Greenwood+Williams> Gray+Cancelo
    c) Greenwood+Williams> ESR+ Cancelo

  3. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Oh dear, just got back in, 22 - 4, with only Salah & Antonio C to play.

    Never seen so many 2’s, Teirney my only decent return!

    Bad idea swap Trent > Rudiger for a hit……….

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hits for defenders always a bit risky

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        One was not playing & Bamford on the bench.

    Do you think this team needs to be wildcarded? If not, I think I’ll do Shaw to rudiger today and hope for the best ..

  5. GreennRed
    • 12 Years

    Is Werner, finally, an option?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      it would be too good to be true 😉

    2. Forgetmeknot

    The triple premium WC has gone horribly for me.

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sure, why not.
      In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Just one GW.

  7. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    2FT and plan to do mini WC. Would you transfer Ronaldo to Lukaku before price rise ?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      no

  8. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years

    Want to get Cancelo tonight before the price rise and below is my back 5, who would you sell?

    TAA Rudiger James Duffy Livra

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Too much uncertainty to make the transfer now. Wait for TAA and James news.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      James for me.
      Just don’t trust the rotation.

  9. Liastro ⭐️
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    4.5m in the bank…current team:

    Sanchez Steele
    Rudiger Shaw White Livramento Williams
    Salah Jota Sarr Benrahma Brownhill
    Ronaldo Antonio Toney

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Prefer Raph, but gap to last Brazil game is apparently pretty close to GW8.
      Not sure why you are in a hurry to lose Semedo.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        cheers. would like city defence cover.

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        maybe saka if fit?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Went Saka myself (already had Raph)

  11. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Have exact money for Raya to Ramsdale
    Hold or sell?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      does your second keeper play?

      1. Totalfootball
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          No then.

        2. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          tiny bit risky imo

        3. Totalfootball
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers both

  12. MHG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Planned to WC this week but today's events have made me hold off.
    I want to get Cancelo in either way.
    Should I do this tonight to avoid price rise or hold off in case he picks up an injury? What's he up to in the International break?
    Thank you

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      just wait imo

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wait

    3. MHG
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks for the replies - does he have Internationals lined up?

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes and an injury over the international break to other players in your squad could make that a more pressing issue.

    4. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He's in the Portugal squad for the Luxembourg qualifier and Qatar friendly. Could also get injured tomorrow. I'd wait.

    5. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Today’s events? What have I missed? Only saw today’s first game

      1. MHG
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I was referring to Ron and Luk blanking and the low scores so far

  13. Ibra
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you WC this team?

    Sanchez
    Shaw - Rudiger - Cresswell
    Salah - Raphinha - Gray - Benrahma
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Jimenez

    Foster - Livramento - Tsimikas - Brownhill

    The team doesn't look so bad but I have a couple of problems

    A) I don't like my defenders
    B) I really need Lukaku and Cancelo
    C) I have 4 millions in the bank and I would like to waste those

    My transfers for WC team would be like:

    Shaw -> Cancelo
    Cresswell -> Walker
    Benrahma -> ESR
    Jimenez -> Lukaku

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      waste of a wc imo.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jimenez is doing great for his price.

      Shaw & Cresswell moves for a -4 seems good enough for me.

      Not missing out on much without Lukaku just yet anyway.

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That's a v.good team! Lol.

  14. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Well James > Alonso didn’t work out well.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      at least james didnt outscore him 😉

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      and he didn't come on for a 1 point cameo.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      4 points for me (Livra).

      Oh wait.

      4 point hit to get.

      Yes that’s this week.

  15. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Tragic GW…thinking Greenwood out, bench Sarr and play Duffy?
    Or WC?

    Sanchez/Steele
    TAA/Cancelo/Rudi/Duffy/Tsim
    Salah/Greenwood/Benrahma/Raphinha/Sarr
    Ronaldo/Antonio/Scarlet

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      play sarr 100%

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        They looked bad today and game vs Nor is 90% cs so thinking Duffy over Sarr

    2. Tripleh123
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Play Duffy,Greenwood out for Arsenal/Eve mid and u are g2g

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah been thinking about something like that

  16. Tripleh123
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Need advice.

    Sanchez/Steele
    TAA/Dias/Alonso/Duffy/Williams
    Salah/Greenwood/Benrahma/Raphinha/Sarr
    Lukaku/Antonio/Scarlett

    a) Greenwood,Williams, Scarlett> Cancelo+Douglas luiz+ Adam Armstrong
    b) Greenwood,Williams >Saka+ Rudiger/Azpilicueta
    c) Greenwood,Williams, Scarlett> Saka+ White+ Adam Armstrong

    1. yeahbuddy
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I like A
      The others will give you benching headaches

  17. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA Cancelo Alonso (Chilwell Livramento)
    Salah Son Raphinha Gallagher (Luiz)
    Lukaku Toney Hwang

    Chilwell or Alonso -> James in a week or two if I feel like risking it/one of them gets injured

    Is Antonio the only 'obvious' one missing? Kinda want VVD too...

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      352 with ESR and a 4.5 striker allow Antonio?
      Hwang's goal scoring record pre Wolves is not great.
      EPL to easy for him?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry this makes no sense on redlection

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Need to lose Son

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            yeah fair - not great value but I've got cash to burn if I put faith in Hwang - can always do Hwang & Son -> whoever in a few weeks if needed

        2. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          haha - think I'm gonna leave Antonio now and hope he slows down a bit, I was negative on Hwang but with Jimenez supplying him I think he can be really good value - any other issues with it? (except for the Alonso/Chilwell thing)

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Why Son?
            Not sure about both Hwang and Toney.

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years

                Arsenal fan, not interested - great player but he can't shoot particularly well, good value though

    Want to bring Lukaku in, plan was for CR7 > Lukaku.

    Can I hold off making that move yet until a bit closer to deadline?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      yes

    2. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If price rises/drops won't bother you then sure

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely
      Neither look essential so make the decision closer to the time with more information around injuries etc.

    Looking fwd to gameweeks ahead, which is best

    a) Cancelo+Douglas luiz
    b) Saka/Gray+ Rudiger/Azpilicueta
    c) Saka/Gray+ White

    Currently have TAA. Alonso, Dias

    Anyone tempted to avoid Lukaku and Ronaldo on a WC and go back to Vardy and Bruno?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Feels too clever to me

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy and De Bruyne. But WC can wait.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bruno, no. Seems like Rogers is determined to stick with Vardy so definitely an option.

    4. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes tempted by this also

    Wildcard this - Y/N?

    Sanchez
    TAA Rudiger Cancelo Veltman
    Salah Benrahma Raphinha Greenwood
    Ronaldo Antonio
    (Gunn - Sarr Dennis Tsimi)

    Leaning towards holding my wc… input appreciated!

    First WC draft

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Cancelo - Rudiger
    Salah - Son - ESR - Mbuemo
    Lukaku - Vardy - Hwang

    Foster - Livramento - Brownhill - Manquillo

    Thoughts? 🙂

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’m just not sure about that mid apart from Salah but def and fwds, I like the picks

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why the Son love?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He's quite good even if Spurs are currently not good.

      2. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He’s gonna go off now

        Good fixtures and Kane getting his mojo back

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nice. How much have you in the bank and why?

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        4 premiums and TAA won't leave much surely

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          This

            • 12 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Cool. You've spent well. Hwang looks a great prospect. Mbuemo also got great potential.

        Nothing

        Zilch

        Nada

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Pretty nice. 1x City (+ the player most will have) feels a bit of a waste though?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Can’t trust any City attacker for starts and the attacking points are so spread out in that team

        Rather go for talismans like Vardy and Son

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Fair. I only have 1x City myself, it's just the multiple City 5-0 scorelines vs. Burnley that are tempting!

    5. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Decent.
      Vardy shout interesting. Didn’t realise they have decent long term fixtures.

      Hwang v Armstrong

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Gotta go Hwang

        No money to upgrade

        I’ve been impressed with hwang whenever I saw him play

        Good fixtures too and seems to be playing ahead of Jimenez. Can’t go wrong at that price

        I have seen Armstrong play and I don’t like his prospects one bit. Great fixtures though

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It's different, I'll give you that.

      Don't really like it ultimately. I don't like Vardy. His fixtures are not good and Leicester as a team are unconvincing. No Antonio is a mistake imo considering the value he offers.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I won’t go Antonio for sure

        He’s served me well but it’s time to find the next Antonio

        1. Eh, just one more thing ...
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Change your mind If Antonio out scores the top captain picks tomorrow?

          1. pundit of punts
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Nope

  26. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    My squad has a 60% template rating and rank jump of 115k so far this GW. Sitting at 835k at this point.

    No fireworks yet. 22 points with Salah, Matip, Gallagher and (A)ntonio to go.

    All I want from tomorrow is rank progress towards 100k. Hoping for a nice green arrow tomorrow.

  27. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    How is 31 with Salah Benrahma Antonio to play?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Probably fairly good.

      I’m on 26 with Salah. Son. Antonio c to come

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Very good, 97th percentile for the top 10k apparently (though you have 1 fewer player to play than the average)

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Meh I would say but tomorrow could change everything …

    4. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You know you can see the gameweek rank literally on your screen right?

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry just looked, actually can’t believe I got a green arrow (so far)

        Slim pickings this week isn’t it, hope you did well

  28. Meechoo115

    How’s this wildcard?

    Ramsdale
    Laporte. Cancelo. Rudi. Trent
    Salah. Foden. Raph
    Armstrong. Antonio. Lukaku

    Foster. Mbuemo. Livra. Brownhill

  29. Magic Hamster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Free transfer was shaw to alonso... But have Duffy first sub. So weirdly in a way my transfer worked out

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It did. If you have WC. Otherwise you have an expensive rotation risk I fear

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      nice smooth that 🙂

  30. Phlajo
    • 4 Years

    Would you WC this? Cant really decide and Id like to pull the trigger tonight before price changes..
