Top 5 Key Topics for Gameweek 7: What to Focus on in Fantasy Football

According to The Sun: We invite you to explore five interesting discussion topics ahead of Gameweek 7.

Focus on these points to fully immerse yourself in the Dream Team game and enhance your standing in the table!

Key Moments

Before we kick off Gameweek 7, pay attention to important deadlines.

The match between Bournemouth and Fulham starts at 20:00 on Friday, and the deadline for submitting line-ups is at 18:30. Don't leave this until Saturday morning.

In the spotlight is Antoine Semenyo (£4.8m), who is part of over a quarter of teams. At the time of writing, he ranks fourth among midfielders with 52 points after seven matches.

The only downside to owning Semenyo is the lack of European commitments, as the Cherries exited the Carabao Cup early.

However, this is not a hindrance, as Gameweek 7 features a full round of Premier League matches.

Saturday's morning match will kick off between Tottenham and Leeds, both of whom have not lost at home for over a year.

Thomas Frank hopes the early start will neutralize the atmosphere at Elland Road, which has already impacted the results of teams like Everton, Newcastle, and Bournemouth this season.

Anton Stach (£2.9m) and Sean Longstaff (£2.7m) have shown impressive statistics in recent matches, but Dream Team managers will pay more attention to Mohammed Kudus (£4.9m), who is the fourth most popular midfielder in the game.

This 25-year-old talent leads the rankings for successful dribbles (33) and accurate passes (18) among all players, indicating his significant contribution and constant influx of bonus points.

Kudus has already accumulated 45 points, but so far the best midfielder for Spurs remains João Palhinha (£3.7m) with 49 points.

It was expected that the Portuguese would earn actively from tackles – only Moisés Caicedo (£4.7m) made more challenges, but ultimately turned out to be quite effective in attack with three goals.

Schedule Switch

Difficulties for Arsenal may be ending Reuters

Arsenal players are once again in the spotlight, as their tough match streak seems to be behind them.

The Canaries have already played at Old Trafford, Anfield, and St. James' Park, and have also had a tough home fixture against Manchester City. Now their schedule significantly eases with attractive matches leading up to the international break in November.

Mikel Arteta's team is set to face West Ham (a), Fulham (h), Atletico Madrid (a), Crystal Palace (h), Brighton (a), Burnley (h), and Slavia Prague (h) over the next five fixtures.

Among these opponents, Atletico and Palace may be the toughest, but both matches will be played at home.

If you have not considered Arsenal players due to their previous tough schedule, now may be the time to rectify that.

Those backing David Raya (£4.8m) and the starting defenders can expect significant bonuses this autumn.

Mohamed's Problems

At the time of writing, Mohamed Salah (£7.3m) has become the third most popular star that managers are not planning to transfer out before Gameweek 7.

This is a rarity, as the Egyptian star usually does not lose popularity when fully fit and available.

He only scored four points in Gameweek 6, contrasting with the impressive points earned by a certain Norwegian forward, but remains the second-best player among his peers at this position.

Is he not ready to shine at Stamford Bridge this weekend?

And although Chelsea has not won in the league since August, defensive absences could complicate their confrontation with Arne Slot's team.

Alisson (£4.1m) is unlikely to recover by the weekend, so it's expected that Georgiy Mamuladze (£3.5m) will start in goal for Liverpool.

Salah has already registered nine goal involvements in 15 league matches against Chelsea.

It would not be unusual for him to step up amid the popular wave of those who abandoned him this week.

Best for Last

In conclusion, we cannot overlook the 'elephant in the room' – Erling Haaland's (£7.7m) unusual form.

After six gameweeks, this forward has 105 points and is 41 points ahead of his nearest competitor.

A double goal in the match against Monaco raised his total number of goals for the season to 11 – nobody else has scored more than five.

Haaland will take the field last in Gameweek 7, as Manchester City's match against Brentford will kick off late on Sunday.

Is it not risky to bet against another double success?

The Bees sit 13th in the table, but their statistics are concerning.

Only Burnley has conceded more shots than Brentford, and Keith Andrews' team currently occupies the last place in terms of shots taken at goal.

Thiago Igo (£3.3m) and his partners are capable of causing problems for opponents, but Pep Guardiola will likely expect a one-sided flow of the game.

Captaincy discussions are a topic that leaves no doubts: it is undoubtedly Haaland, and anyone who disagrees risks reaping the consequences of that decision.
