Like a sneaky bastard ninja, Gameweek 7 has crept right up on us. The FPL transfer deadline is Friday at 19:00 so you'd better have your egg and soldiers in order before then. Last weekend was an eventful affair and there's been Champions Leaguings mid-week so cast your eyes down here and be Pret a Manger the Fantasy opposition.
Captain Marvel
Zlatan -- Manchester United | STO (H)
Zlat man scoop has only blanked twice thus far this season. The fact that the second came just last week may put some Fantasy managers off giving him the big (C) biscuit. Oh yee of little faith. Stoke are professional shitbrickers. They have conceded four goals thrice this season and it's not even October yet. You can expect Ibra to tear these fools new A-holes and ride off into the sunset with with his unconscionable haircut flapping in the wind and 24 Fantasy Football points casually farting out of his backside.

Theo Walcott (7.6) -- Arsenal | BUR (A)
Is it time to believe in Wallcock? We certainly think so. Especially now that the price of ceiling fanny is totally out of control. For cereals, though, Wally isn't exactly a clutch Fantasy footballer, he was practically designed in a Fantasy laboratory to make your Fantasy football dreams eat shit. Made of biscuits, constantly underperforming or getting injured, he's an unappetising option at the best of times - but times have rarely been better for Theo. Four goals and an assist in three games (including his Championshhh Leeg brace) makes him enticing AF at 7.6. Some beaut upcoming fixtures tip the scales and make him a serious candidate for selection.
Dear USA, Seriously? This guy?
Sell High
Kevin De Bruyne -- Man City | 10.7 | INJ
KDB - When the girls say "Bo", Select him. Any time, that is, he isn't injured. City's most dynamic midfielder has pulled a hammy something fierce and it's not a one or two week sit-and-wait jobby. He's out until late October by the looks of things. There's an international boreeak coming up so some Fantasy Managers may be tempted to hold on to the little fellow but points now are all that matter and you should never leave 10.7 of your budget on the treatment table if you can possibly avoid it.

Fool's Gold
Heung-Min Son -- Tottenham (7.5) | MCI (H)
Never before has the chant "Get in my Son" been so omnipresent or so apposite. The South Korean dynamo took a while to get going at Spurs and was largely absent last season but he's been absolutely spanking it in the past few weeks. The problem with Son, from a Fantasy Football perspective, is that as soon as his performance level drops one iota, there will be someone raring to take his place. Kane's injury isn't as bad as first feared according to Poch, Lamela is becoming must-start along with Eriksen, we all know what Bam Bam Deli Alli can do, and new boy Kev N'koudou has looked extremely lively in the opportunities he has been given. Did we mention Vicent Janssen and the soon-to-return prodigal Dembele? A tricky tie against the unbeaten Man City this week makes Son a foolish acquisition at this stage; don't be deaf to the inevitable.
