TIME FOR A SAKA-RIFICE?

Straight after a Gameweek 6 of many midfield hauls comes Double Gameweek 7 – our first such experience of the season. The best Luton Town and Burnley FPL assets will be on display, something also discussed in the Scout Squad picks and Tom’s weekly Digest piece.

Yet many pre-deadline transfers are going elsewhere, seen as the midweek EFL Cup matches have brought a bunch of yellow flags. Replacements are also needed for the suspended Nicolas Jackson, with Lateriser looking specifically at Darwin Nunez and Julian Alvarez.

Another weekend doubt is Bukayo Saka, so Zophar answers questions on trading him for someone like Jarrod Bowen. There’s even a comparison piece looking at both Bowen and team-mate James Ward-Prowse.

Meanwhile, it has been a time for reflection - the weekly Great and the Good being joined by FPL General’s self-assessment of transfers and Pras’ look at what we’ve learned so far this season. For managers that have started poorly, reigning champion Ali recommends mixing essentials with enticing differentials.

Perhaps such surgery requires a Wildcard being activated very soon, where knowing the teams about to enter good fixtures and bad fixtures is vital.

As always, check out our Gameweek 7 page to quickly access all recent articles, plus the standard press conference updates from managers. Visit our Members Area for comparison tools and an in-depth collection of Opta data.

Over on our YouTube channel, alongside the usual Scoutcast, Burning Questions and Deadline Dilemmas episodes are General’s Orders and his 59^th Minute podcast. There’s also Sam and Az’s Q&A and the FPL Winners video with Ali and Gianni.
