Fantasy Premier League experts provide guidance for managers ahead of gameweek seven, emphasizing the potential value of Brighton's Maxim de Cuyper and Pascal Gross. Both are seen as nearly essential but may not be the best picks due to tough upcoming fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester City. A home match against Crystal Palace offers a favorable opportunity this weekend. There is a strong suggestion for managers to reassess Manchester United players, particularly Bruno Fernandes, who is recommended for sale after a disappointing start to the season. Chelsea's goal-scoring potential is highlighted as well, with suggestions about how many of their attackers to include on fantasy teams.
- •De Cuyper and Gross face tough matches after Crystal Palace.
- •Bruno Fernandes may be sold; alternatives include Saka and Palmer.
- •Chelsea players are recommended for offensive strength.
- •Haaland might be a triple captain option with favorable home fixtures.
