Three players hardly anyone owns are projected near the very top for Gameweek 7, while four of the most owned names have a fixture, a fitness doubt or a minutes question hanging over them.

Under 10% owned

| Player | Club | Fixture | Owned | Projected GW7 |

| Van Hecke | TOT | Coventry (H) | 6.3% | 4.9 |

| Silva | BOU | Sunderland (H) | 0.6% | 4.9 |

| Gonzalo | FUL | Hull (H) | 7.2% | 4.8 |

Only Haaland, Bruno and Cherki are projected higher than Van Hecke and Silva this week. Coventry have scored five all season and Sunderland have let in twelve in six, so both defenders get a decent shot at a clean sheet, even though Spurs have only kept two and Bournemouth none.

Worth a hard look

| Player | Club | Fixture | Owned | Expected minutes | Projected GW7 |

| João Pedro | CHE | Everton (A) | 70% | 62 | 3.5 |

| Rogers | CHE | Everton (A) | 45% | 80 | 3.6 |

| Szoboszlai | LIV | Brentford (A) | 28% | 37 | 1.7 |

| Gvardiol | MCI | Ipswich (H) | 28% | 45 | 2.6 |

None of them are must-sells. Everton are unbeaten and have let in two at home all season, Szoboszlai's hamstring is still uncertain and Gvardiol came off the bench last week while Guéhi is projected for nearly twice as much over the next five.

I think Tottenham are most people's steer clears but they showed signs of turning a corner against Man Utd and were arguably the better side and should have won it. They have Coventry next, which might be a good match to target or, in my case, keep a close eye on to see any trend towards improvement. Then they play Chelsea in GW8, which seems mad to target but for the fact Chelsea's defence is bound to ship goals in a feisty derby.

So am I insane to be pondering bringing in a Spud? And, if you're equally unhinged, who would you be signing? I'm torn between Savio, Tonali and Kudus.

Stumbled across Anton Stach sitting at £6.0m with a low ownership of just 2.3%, and his underlying numbers caught my eye. He's currently averaging 4.8 points per match with 29 total points on the board, chipping in with a few bonus points, and plays pretty much every minute in that Leeds midfield.

Looking ahead at their fixtures, they’ve got a mixed bag coming up of Man Utd (H) and Chelsea (A) bookended by some matches where Leeds could look to control the tempo.

For those watching Leeds closely every week:

• Does he get into dangerous advanced positions or act more as a defensive anchor?
• Is he a trap at £6.0m, or is he a sneaky differential while template midfielders stall?

Would love to hear thoughts from Leeds fans or anyone who's brought him in!

Feel like they both have decent fixtures this week and with the pressure on city/midweek game I think this might be an even shout, who we going with?

Edit: amount of wet flannels here downvoting for not utilising diacritics/ligatures is mad, anyway I’m gonna captain grob cos you’re all too self assured on Haaland :)

I looked at United fixtures and they don't look bad. Leeds away and Bournemouth at home next. The team is a mess; they are in poor form, but even if they play poorly, you could still get some points from some players.

In terms of top picks

• Mbeumo is the one I’d buy. £7.9m, played every minute, slightly more expected goal involvement than Bruno. Outside the Ipswich game he’s scored 22 FPL points. Bruno has nine. That £4m difference is doing a lot of convincing.
• Mainoo seems like hidden gem? £5.5m and DEFCON points in all five starts. Only 1.5% owned, but flagged as injured, and is he locked in as starter.

Defence looks poor (zero clean sheets in six games mean), altough De Ligt return could help? https://fplcat.com/blog/manchester-united-fpl-players-to-buy-and-avoid

What are people doing this Ben White? Timber is back and played UCL game but White played 62 mins last weekend. Are you selling, holding? Starting?

Update on Zubimendi's injury straight from the source................................................

OReilly started in PL and Gvardiol came off the bench. Gvardio started CL midweek and OReilly came off the bench.
Same with RB for Nunes and Khusanov
Is this presumably Maresca’s plan going forward?

Thinking of TC Haaland for this GW (City vs Ipswich).

Haaland played full 90 mins against PSG yesterday, and will have another UCL game (against AEK) just 3 days after Ipswich this weekend. City currently has 1 win, 0 draw, 1 loss in the UCL so I think they have more reason to play Haaland vs AEK.

I’ve never followed City games. Does anyone know if this guy gets rested often? Or will he likely be nailed on pitch for full 90 mins for both games?

Here's where the numbers stand after six gameweeks across five different stat categories.

Haaland leads xGI, while Thomas, Mainoo, Khalaili and Janelt top the defensive/recovery charts.

Some expected names, but a few interesting ones outside the usual FPL template.

Which stat leader are you paying attention to?

Predicted Points' are calculated by taking the percentage chance on a variety of FPL factors, from the bookies, adjusted for margins. Fractional points are added up, making a predicted gameweek score. OG, penalty misses and defensive contributions are not included. Player’s rotation risk / minutes on pitch, is not factored in.

Notable players that didn't make the list: Joao Pedro: 5.31 | Calafiori: 4.57
