Best FPL captains for Gameweek 7

Why are These Names Recommended for FPL Captaincy Picks for Gameweek 7?

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

The Manchester City forward Erling Haaland is now the hot favourite in the FPL captaincy picks, as he has already generated 62 FPL points with eight goals and one assist. While he has scored a brace in three matches this season, he has failed to score in only one out of the first six matches this season. In the last game against Burnley, he scored two goals and also recorded his first assist this FPL season, as he accumulated 16 FPL points. As he is a certified goal machine, he only failed to earn FPL bonus points in his goalless game, while he has earned three FPL bonus points in all the other five fixtures this season.

As Manchester City will face the hosts Brentford in the seventh gameweek, and without any doubt, Haaland will stay among the top favourite FPL captains.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

As usual, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is playing the key role for his club this Premier League season. Although Salah hasn't been highly consistent this season yet, he is still playing the key role for the Reds, and the FPL managers still have faith in Salah, as he always stays at the top of the list of favourite FPL captains.

After winning five straight matches this PL season, Liverpool suffered their first defeat this PL season in their last game against Crystal Palace. Now, the Reds will face the hosts Chelsea in the seventh gameweek, and we all know how great a big match player Salah is.

Gabriel (Arsenal)

Arsenal defender Gabriel is standing in the fourth position in the list of most FPL points this season among defenders. While Arsenal have recorded three clean sheets this Premier League season, Gabriel scored a goal in their last fixture against the hosts Newcastle United. The defender has earned two FPL points from the defensive contributions in two games this season, while he has also earned four FPL bonus points, including three FPL bonus points in the last game.

In the seventh gameweek of this FPL season, Arsenal will host West Ham United, where the Gunners will be the favourite, and Gabriel can produce another top performance.

Antoine Semenyo (AFC Bournemouth)

AFC Bournemouth’s footballer, Antoine Semenyo is among the popular FPL captaincy picks early this season due to his consistent performances. He is leading the FPL points table among the midfielders with 48 FPL points. He has scored four goals and two assists in this Premier League season, while he has also generated six FPL bonus points.

AFC Bournemouth will now host Fulham in the seventh gameweek, and Semenyo will once again be the favourite in the FPL captains selection.

Ismaïla Sarr (Crystal Palace)

In his four matches this PL season, Crystal Palace footballer Ismaïla Sarr scored three goals, finding the back of the net in their last game against Liverpool after missing the previous two fixtures. Sarr is slowly becoming one of the favourites for the FPL captains this season.

Palace will now face the hosts Everton in the seventh gameweek, and once again, Sarr has to play a key role to maintain his team’s top form this season.
