Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 7 is here and we are slowly approaching wildcard territory. It is not the worst gameweek to pull the trigger, however, we still like more GW8 (fixture swing) or GW9 (international break) to wildcard.
Let’s look at our FPL GW7 Tips.
Update: All matches from Gameweek 7 were postponed. Just save free transfer to next gameweek. If you have chip active, this is what will happen:

FPL Gameweek 7 Tips, Differentials and Transfer Targets
- Manchester United have nice two fixtures ahead. Rashford or Sancho could be great players to own. However, Rashord had muscle issues at the end of the game, wait for press conference before bringing him in
- There is going to be a time when Son will be a good FPL asset again. It might not be GW7 but put him on your watchlist. When he starts firing, we will see a couple of hauls in th sepan of a few gameweeks
- If you do not have wildcard, prepare a plan how you will get Mitrovič in for GW8
- GW8 is going to be blank gameweek for Brighton and Crystal Palace as their fixture has been postponed
- Mac Allister might not be a good FPL pick. He has just 0.23 non-penalty xG and Brighton will not get penalty every gameweek
- Transfer Targets: Rashford (but wait for press conference), Brighton mid (Gross or Trossard), Trippier
- Differential for Gameweek 7: Trossard – still owned by just 4 % of managers and face Bournemouth in GW7
- Differential captain: Sterling

What bookies odds say about Gameweek 7
We converted bookies odds into probabilities using our Odds to probability calculator, to assess the potential of gameweek 7.
Clean sheet odds for GW7
Bookies favor Liverpool (52 %), Arsenal (46 %) and Brighton (41 %) to most likely keep a clean sheet in GW7.
Bookies expect 5.24 clean sheets in gameweek 7. In last season, we were used to a rate of 5.58 per clean sheets gameweek. This season we have seen clean sheets at the rate of 5 clean sheets per gameweek. We can say we are seeing less clean sheets than usual.
Bookies’ odds agree. According to our expected clean sheets table, we should have seen 32.23 clean sheets, however we saw just 30 clean sheets. We are still in the phase of defensive underperformance. The number of clean sheets per gameweek should return to the mean over the season.
Newcastle and Wolves are due to the correction in their clean sheet count, we expect both teams to concede goals in the upcoming gameweeks.
Due to correction in the number of clean sheets: Newcastle, Wolves
Newcastle overperformed their defensive expectations the most of all teams. They should have kept 1.29 clean sheets instead of 3 according to our expected clean sheets table.
Due to an improvement in the number of clean sheets: Aston Villa, Leicetser
Aston Villa underperformed their defensive expectations the most from all teams. They should have kept 1.67 clean sheets instead of 0 according to our expected clean sheets table.
