See the dream line-up featuring a combined SEVEN players from Arsenal, Brighton and Man City
Three sides – Manchester City, Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion – supply a combined seven of the best XI for Gameweek 7 in Fantasy Premier League.
There’s a triple-up on Man City for their home match against promoted Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon, with Erling Haaland (£15.6m) joined by his team-mates Nico O’Reilly (£6.3m) and Rayan Cherki (£7.9m).
Brighton’s Maxim De Cuyper (£5.1m) and Pascal Gross (£6.0m) host Crystal Palace the following day, before Arsenal pair Riccardo Calafiori (£5.9m) and Bukayo Saka (£9.6m) visit Nottingham Forest later on Sunday afternoon.
Haaland is named as the captain, with Saka the vice-captain.
James Trafford (Leeds) £5.0m
Ahead of his home match against Manchester United, the Leeds United No 1 has been one of the most consistent goalkeepers in Fantasy. Trafford has collected one save point in all six of his appearances and, in addition to his two clean sheets, sits just six points off the top of the ‘keeper standings on 30 points. As evidenced by their 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, Man Utd are struggling for an attacking edge and have scored just twice in the last three Gameweeks.
Nico O’Reilly (Man City) £6.3m
The left-back made his first start since Gameweek 1 away to Liverpool last weekend, with his rival Josko Gvardiol (£5.8m) reduced to an appearance as a substitute. But whereas Gvardiol then played the full 90 minutes against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in midweek, O’Reilly earned just a single minute off the bench, suggesting he is the one more likely to start against Ipswich.
Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal) £5.9m
After six Gameweeks of 2026/27 Fantasy, the Italian has registered eight shots in the box, more than the combined five of Arsenal’s other defenders. Calafiori also offers a strong chance of a clean sheet against Nott’m Forest, who have failed to score in all three of their home matches this season.
Maxim De Cuyper (Brighton) £5.1m
Listed as a defender in Fantasy, the Belgian has been a big success in his role playing out of position as a midfielder for Brighton this season. De Cuyper’s potential for points at both ends of the pitch have helped him deliver three double-figure hauls in the first six Gameweeks of 2026/27, suggesting he could be a great alternative for the captaincy.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) £9.6m
Saka’s total of seven big chances – situations where a player is expected to score – is more than any other midfielder in Fantasy this season. The winger’s 12 shots in the box also place top for Arsenal, showing why he’s their likeliest player to get goals against Forest.
Rayan Cherki (Man City) £7.9m
Man City’s Frenchman is the second top-scoring midfielder this season, scoring four goals and supplying two assists to total 44 points. Having only featured for 45 minutes against PSG in midweek, you’d expect Cherki will retain his starting role against Ipswich.
Marcus Tavernier (Bournemouth) £6.1m
The AFC Bournemouth midfielder has strong all-round potential at home to a Sunderland side who have conceded 12 goals in six matches. Tavernier’s 13 shots and 10 chances created both rank among the Cherries’ top two players this season.
Pascal Gross (Brighton) £6.0m
Three goals and four assists have helped the Brighton star to joint-top in the player standings alongside his team-mate De Cuyper on 53 points. Gross’ dominance of dead-ball duties – including penalties – makes him an outstanding value pick for your midfield.
Erling Haaland (Man City) £15.6m
The Norwegian extended his prolific start to the season with two goals against PSG on Wednesday night. You can expect many managers to play their Triple Captain chip on Haaland, who has scored in each of the last five Gameweeks to sit joint-top of the forward standings on 45 points.
Joao Pedro (Chelsea) £7.8m
After returning from a short-term absence with a 12-point haul in Gameweek 6, Chelsea’s Brazilian has emerged as the No 1 target up front for his visit to Everton. Joao Pedro has earned 414,000+ transfers in, almost 300,000+ more than any other forward.
Thierno Barry (Everton) £5.7m
Everton’s forward has the numbers to suggest he can exploit a Chelsea side who have conceded 13 goals in six matches and are without a clean sheet. Barry’s 13 big chances even knock Haaland’s 10 into second place, with the pair tied on 22 shots and 21 shots in the box.
