Are De Cuyper and Gross essential? FPL gameweek seven dilemmas

BBC Sport's FPL expert Gianni Buttice looks at some of the biggest dilemmas facing Fantasy Premier League managers heading into gameweek seven.

Are De Cuyper and Gross essential? FPL gameweek seven dilemmas

In gameweek seven of Fantasy Premier League, there are several significant dilemmas faced by managers. De Cuyper and Bruno Fernandes are described as essential players, despite them facing Liverpool and Manchester City, respectively. Crystal Palace away is suggested as a good match-up, but no major changes are recommended.

Bruno Fernandes, owned by a third of all FPL managers, is considered an easy sell due to his low performance recently. Arsenal's Bukayo Saka and Chelsea's Cole Palmer are proposed as good replacements. United defenders are mentioned for shipping, although there is an option to keep Bryan Mbeumo, who is ranked high among midfielders. The article highlights Joao Pedro as a must-have striker for a strong attack but suggests that covering Chelsea's defense is also crucial due to their powerful lineup.

The article also discusses the double gameweek issue before gameweek 19, suggesting that a reset is unlikely. Jadon Sancho (Haaland) has three home fixtures before the end of the year, with Ipswich being a potential strong match-up. The defender De Cuyper remains a standout option, but the article also recommends considering other defensive contribution points magnets like Tarik Muharemovic, Luka Vuskovic, Antonio Silva, and James Tarkowski.
