FPL Gameweek 7 Transfer Tips: Two Players to Buy, Hold & Sell

What an eventful Gameweek it was—for Palmer owners and Wildcard players alike. Interestingly, these two groups largely didn’t overlap. Many managers sacrificed the likes of Salah, Palmer, Jota, and Henderson to bring in assets like Saka, Trent, Diaz, Gabriel, Saliba, and Raya. Unfortunately, this move backfired dramatically, and only a few Wildcard users saw a green arrow.

However, in retrospect, the decisions still seem sound, just unlucky:

• Among players with an xGI over 1 in Gameweek 6, Saka was the only one to blank.
• Salah’s NPxG for the week was even lower than that of his teammate Szoboszlai.
• Arsenal had the lowest NPxGC and xGC, along with the highest xCS in Gameweek 6, yet still conceded two goals.

So, trust the process—this feels more like a statistical anomaly than a mistake. With over 80% of the season left, there’s plenty of time to bounce back.

So, let’s start with our BUY-HOLD-SELL article for this GW, sponsored by …. Well, nobody. We are poor, but you can help here if you want 😊

FPL Gameweek 7 Transfer Tips: Two Players to BUY

Bryan Mbeumo (£7.4m) – MID, Brentford – 22.9% TSB

Among midfielders, Mbeumo is ranked:

• 2^nd for goals scored
• 2^nd for Bonus
• 4^th for FPL points scored
• 4^th for Shots on Target
• 4^th for xA
• 4^th for BPS
• 5^th for Goal Involvements
• 5^th for Big Chances
• 5^th for Big Chances Created

In GW7, Mbeumo faces Wolves, a team which is ranked in the bottom half of the table for every defensive metric:

• 11^th for NPxGC
• 12^th for Shots Conceded
• 13^th for xGC
• 14^th for Big Chances Conceded
• 15^th for Shots in Box Conceded
• 15^th for Shots on Target Conceded
• 17^th for Xcs
• 20^th for Goals Conceded
• 0 Clean Sheets

Even beyond GW7, Brentford has extremely enticing list of fixtures.

This makes Mbeumo an extremely appealing option.

Brennan Johnson (£6.4m) – MID, Spurs – 1.7% TSB

Amongst teams, Spurs ranks

• 1^st for xG
• 1st for NPxG
• 1^st for Shots on Target
• 1^st for Shots in the Box
• 1^st for Big Chances

Their fixtures in the long-term look quite impressive.

While the most popular Spurs assets are Porro, Romero and Solanke, the player who is going under the radar is Johnson. Among Spurs assets, Johnson is ranked

• 1^st for Shots
• 1^st for Shots in the Box
• 1st for Goals Scored
• 1st for Goal Involvements
• 2nd for Big Chances
• 2^nd for Assists
• 2^nd for xG
• 2nd for NPxG
• 2nd for xPts
• 2^nd for FPL points

This makes Johnson a top priority for your transfers.

FPL Gameweek 7 Transfer Tips: Two Players to HOLD

William Saliba (£6.0m) – DEF, Arsenal – 33.1% TSB

Saliba is currently the most transferred-out defender this week.

• However, despite recent setbacks, Arsenal still ranks 2nd in the league for both Goals Conceded and Clean Sheets.
• Saliba’s upcoming fixture is against Southampton, the team with the fewest goals scored in the league.

For these reasons, I recommend holding onto Saliba rather than transferring him out.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.1m) – DEF, Liverpool – 31.8% TSB

Liverpool’s Alexander-Arnold is the second most transferred-out defender this week. But it’s not due to a lack of performance.

Among defenders, Trent ranks:

• 1^st for xGI
• 1st for Key Passes
• 1st for Big Chances Created
• 1st for xA
• 1^st for xPts
• 2^nd for Points
• 3rd for Bonus Points
• 3rd for Crosses

In Gameweek 7, Liverpool faces Crystal Palace, a team that has scored the second-fewest goals in the league. Think twice before selling Trent—it’s a move that may not work out as expected.

FPL Gameweek 7 Transfer Tips: Two Players to SELL

Eberechi Eze (£6.8m) – MID, Crystal Palace – 18.3% TSB

Eze is the most transferred-out midfielder this week, and it’s easy to see why.

He’s managed just one goal in six Gameweeks. To put in context, Mbeumo who started the season at the same price point, has scored five.

Filling the void left by Olise was always going to be tough, and Glasner’s side has struggled, scoring the second-fewest goals in the league so far.

Up next for Palace is a resilient Liverpool defense, which has conceded the fewest goals and kept the most clean sheets this season.

Therefore, I suggest selling Eze.

Bruno Fernandes (£8.2m) – MID, Man Utd – 7.7% TSB

Manchester United have scored just 5 goals so far this season, with only Southampton netting fewer. This isn’t a one-off either—last season, no team in the top half of the table scored fewer than United.

Bruno Fernandes is the most transferred-out United player, and at £8.2m, it’s easy to see why managers are frustrated.

In Gameweek 7, Bruno goes up against an Aston Villa side that recently kept a clean sheet against Bayern Munich.

The only factor in his favor is United’s favorable run of fixtures starting from Gameweek 8.

That said, I wouldn’t put too much weight on the Fixture Difficulty Rating (FDR). Bruno might put up some promising underlying stats, as could Manchester United, but their main issue remains a lack of a clinical striker to convert those chances. Neither Zirkzee nor Højlund inspires much confidence.

Therefore, I’d suggest selling Bruno and investing your funds elsewhere.
