FPL gameweek seven tips: Eberechi Eze, Enzo Fernandez & Jarrod Bowen make team of week

Advertisements

Eberechi Eze, Arsenal, £7.6m – Fulham (a)

With Martin Odegaard set for a spell on the sidelines, Eze looks set for an extended run in the Arsenal side and that makes him a very intriguing FPL option.

He tops most underlying statistics for Arsenal midfielders. His 17 shots translates to an average of 3.85 shots per 90 minutes – Bukayo Saka is next best at 2.33 – and 11 of those have been in the box.

Bear in mind he is yet to score and you could say “he’s due”!

Eze has been involved in 38% of Arsenal’s goals when he’s on the pitch, which is huge in an Arsenal side with so many good players.

Involved, playing well and a good price. Get him on your radar.

Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth, £7.9m – Crystal Palace (a)

This slot is reserved for Semenyo until further notice. Palace away is not the easiest game but he might just be fixture proof.

Jaidon Anthony, Burnley, £5.7m – Leeds (h)

Leeds are a side you can target away from home, where their expected goals conceded (xGC) is more than double their record at Elland Road – 5.5 to 2.3.

Four-goal Anthony is proving to be Burnley’s best goal threat and is a nice price if you are looking for a rotatable fifth midfielder.

These are the kind of games you play him in – home to a fellow promoted side – and Burnley have a point to prove after a poor start.

Jeremy Doku, Manchester City, £6.6m – Everton (h)

Doku is a bit of a minutes risk but his past two home games have each resulted in 10-point hauls.

Behind Haaland, he is City’s most creative player so far – involved in 27% of the team’s goals when on the pitch.

With his explosive pace, you’d fancy him to have joy against Everton’s Jake O’Brien who, despite playing well this season, is still a 6ft 6in centre-back playing as a full-back.

Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea, £6.7m – Nottingham Forest (a)

Cole Palmer’s injury is bad news for Chelsea but good news for Fernandez’s FPL value as he is likely to continue playing in an advanced role.

Among all players in the league he has the fourth-highest xG so far at 3.66, and the second-highest among midfielders.

We’re raving about Semenyo, whose xG is mildly better at 3.73, so does this make Fernandez the next best midfield pick?

He’s had eight shots in the box, six big chances, three goals. With better finishing he’d have more and is also on penalties.

Keep an eye on his injury status.
