FPL Gameweek 7 (GW7) 2025/26: Best wildcard team selection, players transfer tips and captain picks
A free hit in GW7 would make a lot of sense here:
– Good gameweek for Arsenal, Villa(🤢), Newcastle, Man City.
– A lot of my assets are playing each other.
– Low chance of blank/double in this half of the season.
– Gives me 3 real weeks to evaluate the Palmer situation.

Amongst the players, Arsenal and Tottenham assets remain the most reliable, while Chelsea and Fulham players continue to frustrate.
FPL Gameweek 7: teams with best and worst fixtures
For the next few gameweeks, teams like Wolves, Leeds, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Burnley have a favorable run of fixtures, with some having excellent short-term fixtures, while others have their strong attacking form aligning with a kind fixture run. Meanwhile, other teams like Fulham, Brentford, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, and Chelsea have tough opponents or tricky away fixtures.
Best captaincy options
Erling Haaland is the top and obvious pick for captaincy option, while other strong options include Bukayo Saka, Mohammed Kudus, and Bruno Fernandes for managers looking to bet on a differential captain.
Given below are the top players to pick from each position for Gameweek 7:
Forwards
Erling Haaland (£14.3m) is a no-brainer captain option, especially with his side playing against Brentford next gameweek.
Viktor Gyökeres (£9.0m) leads the Arsenal attack and is likely on penalties, making him a strong pick during their favorable run.
Bournemouth’s Francisco Evanilson (£7.0m) offers excellent value as a mid-priced striker with good fixtures.
Midfielders
Bukayo Saka (£9.8m) remains one of Arsenal’s most reliable FPL assets and is expected to be a nailed-on option.
Mohammed Kudus (€6.6m) is Tottenham’s safest attacking pick during the upcoming run of favourable fixtures.
Antoine Semenyo (£7.7m) is Bournemouth’s most consistent player and looks like a strong differential.
Despite a lackluster Gameweek 6, Bruno Fernandes (£9.0m) continues to offer set-piece involvement and differential captaincy potential.
Meanwhile, Anton Stach (£5.0m) from Leeds and Anthony Gordon (£7.4m) from Newcastle remain budget-friendly picks.

Gabriel (£6.1m) provides both clean-sheet security and set-piece threat for Arsenal.
Micky van de Ven (€4.7m) gives FPL managers a cheaper entry into Tottenham’s backline,
Pedro Porro (€5.6m) offers attacking upside if patience pays off.
Marcos Senesi (£4.8m) is a great value route into Bournemouth’s defence during their fixture swing.
Joe Rodon (£4.0m) from Leeds is a strong enabler pick for those looking to free up funds elsewhere.

David Raya (€5.6m) currently leads as the top choice thanks to Arsenal’s improved fixtures and defensive strength.
Guglielmo Vicario (€5.1m) is a solid long-term pick for Tottenham’s favourable run of fixtures.
Djordje Petrovic (£4.5m) is an excellent budget goalkeeper from Bournemouth, who serves as an ideal rotating option.
Gameweek 7 offers a great window for FPL Managers who still haven’t played their wildcard. Managers can reset their squad and swap out Mohamed Salah for Erling Haaland, or load up on Arsenal and Tottenham assets.
Some FPL managers can consider using the Free Hit chip in Gameweek 7 to navigate tricky fixtures like Chelsea vs. Liverpool and bring in Haaland for the matchup against Brentford.
