10. Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal)
- GW7 opponent: West Ham (H)
- Predicted points: 5.7
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres is one of three Gunners players making this top 10 ahead of a home game against West Ham. All three of Gyokeres’ goals this season have come at the Emirates, with 13 shots on goal and four big chances. He’s also created three chances, highlighting his routes to points.
9. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
- GW7 opponent: West Ham (H)
- Predicted points: 5.8
Arsenal star man Bukayo Saka will be an important player for the Gunners over the next two months, with Noni Madueke injured. It’s been a disrupted start to the season for him, with just one goal from four appearances. It’s expected that Declan Rice will continue to take most set-pieces, with Gyokeres also in contention for penalties.
8. Gabriel (Arsenal)
- GW7 opponent: West Ham (H)
- Predicted points: 5.8
Gabriel made the Team of the Week last time out, with the decisive late goal in the win away at Newcastle United. Set-piece goals remain central to Arsenal’s scoring force in this campaign. Clean sheet potential is high for the visit of West Ham this weekend, with three shut-outs in six, and just three goals conceded from three big chances conceded.
7. Matheus Cunha (Man Utd)
- GW7 opponent: Sunderland (H)
- Predicted points: 5.8
Manchester United’s Matheus Cunha is one of three of their attackers making this top 10 ahead of the home game against Sunderland. Injury has meant that he’s played 90 minutes on just three occasions this season and he’s still waiting for his first Premier League goal involvement in a Man Utd shirt.
6. Bryan Mbeumo (Man Utd)
- GW7 opponent: Sunderland (H)
- Predicted points: 5.9
Bryan Mbeumo has the best underlying numbers of Man Utd’s front three, ranking top among midfielders for shots (15). He’s had six shots on target and two big chances, but has delivered just one goal for his efforts to date. Sunderland have conceded plenty of chances on their left side, which could play into the hands of Mbeumo.
5. Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
- GW7 opponent: Fulham (H)
- Predicted points: 6.1
Antoine Semenyo’s scoring streak continues, converting against Leeds United in Gameweek 6. He sits second only to Erling Haaland for goal involvements this season, with six returns in six games: four goals and two assists. Bournemouth face Fulham at a good time, since they lost on the road 3-1 to Aston Villa in their most recent league game.
4. Mo Salah (Liverpool)
- GW7 opponent: Chelsea (A)
- Predicted points: 6.3
It’s a surprise to see Mo Salah drop out of the top three, with an away trip to Chelsea stacking the odds against him. He has two goals and two assists so far in this campaign, with Liverpool taking five wins from their opening six fixtures. The Reds rank second for goals scored this season (12), behind Manchester City on 14.
3. Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd)
- GW7 opponent: Sunderland (H)
- Predicted points: 6.5
Bruno Fernandes has frustrated his owners to start this season, with just two goals scored and failing to convert two penalties. However, patience is required ahead of a home game against Sunderland. Man Utd’s two league wins and Fernandes’ two goals have come at Old Trafford. Fernandes ranks second among all players for chances created this season, with 16.
2. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
- GW7 opponent: Burnley (H)
- Predicted points: 6.6
Ollie Watkins got himself back on the scoresheet in Gameweek 6, following five consecutive blanks to start the season. He’s had three big chances on goal in this campaign, as well as making four key passes. Burnley have conceded more shots on their goal (116) than any other side in the league this season, conceding 13 goals in this time.
1. Erling Haaland (Man City)
- GW7 opponent: Brentford (A)
- Predicted points: 6.9
Erling Haaland retains his place as the top AI option and best captain pick for the trip to Brentford. He’s scored in four consecutive league games, with six goals and one assist in this time. Brentford got a big win at home last time out, but rank second for shots conceded on goal this season. Haaland remains top for shots and big chances on goal this season.
