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.
FPL managers are grappling with important decisions as they prepare for gameweek seven. Maxim de Cuyper and Pascal Gross, both Brighton players, are considered must-haves, but their upcoming fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester City may make them tough sells. However, Crystal Palace at home could be a better match. Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United's second most expensive asset, could be sold due to his poor recent form.
Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer from Arsenal and Chelsea, respectively, are viable replacements. Defenders should be considered for shipping, with an option to keep Bryan Mbeumo if budget allows. Chelsea's attack could be potent, as Aaron Lennon suggests, but it may require multiple attackers to cover the potential scoring. Erling Haaland's potential chip reset is unlikely, but his strong home form this season makes him worth considering.
For long-term defenders, Maxim de Cuyper remains the top choice, but covering Arsenal's defence with Riccardo Calafiori is also a solid option.
