- Predicted points: 4.9
Sticking with Brighton, midfielder Pascal Gross got an assist in the 2-0 win against Sunderland to take him up to eight goal involvements for the campaign, the most of any player. He leads the way among all players for key passes (18) and has created six big chances for his teammates, with a significant involvement in the Seagulls’ set-pieces.
7. Marc Guehi (Ipswich)
- GW7 opponents: Ipswich (H)
- Predicted points: 5.0
Man City extended their winning run to six games last time out, with a 3-0 win against Liverpool. The Citizens also kept their third clean sheet of the season in that win. Defender Marc Guehi has played every single minute this season and has also come away with a goal and an assist in this time. Man City are favourites for a clean sheet this weekend against Ipswich.
6. Gabriel (Arsenal)
- GW7 opponents: Nottingham Forest (A)
- Predicted points: 5.0
Arsenal’s Gabriel is one of four defenders to make this list, despite the Gunners keeping just one clean sheet in their last four league games. Gabriel has hit the defensive contribution bonus just twice in six games this season, and has already registered two big chances on goal. Opponents Nottingham Forest have failed to score in two of their last four games.
5. Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
- GW7 opponents: Everton (A)
- Predicted points: 5.1
Cole Palmer is the only one of Chelsea’s electric front three to make this top 10, with two goals and four assists so far this season.

4. Jan Paul van Hecke (Tottenham)
- GW7 opponents: Coventry (H)
- Predicted points: 5.2
Tottenham Hotspur will look to build on the point earned against Manchester United last time out when they entertain promoted Coventry City in the Monday night fixture. The Sky Blues have scored just one goal in three on the road this season, while van Hecke is Tottenham’s leading fantasy performer. He scored in his last home game, hitting defensive contributions in two of his last three
3. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
- GW7 opponents: Nottingham Forest (A)
- Predicted points: 5.2
It was a disappointing blank for Bukayo Saka at home to Leeds United last time out. But he still carries plenty of potential for the trip to Nottingham Forest, a side with one draw and two defeats so far at home this season. In the last four gameweeks, Saka ranks top among midfielders for big chances on goal, with five, and has the routes to points with penalties.
2. Antoine Semenyo (Man City)
- GW7 opponents: Ipswich (H)
- Predicted points: 5.6

1. Erling Haaland (Man City)
- GW7 opponents: Ipswich (H)
