Top Fantasy Premier League Transfers for Gameweek 7

With millions of FPL transfers already made this week, the market is moving quickly.

Premium players like Mohamed Salah are being sold in huge numbers, while Erling Haaland is once again the most transferred-in player ahead of Brentford.

Here’s a full breakdown of the top Fantasy Premier League transfers for Gameweek 7.



1. Cucurella → Gabriel (Arsenal, £6.2m)

Arsenal Defender Offers Defensive Stability

Gabriel has been in excellent form with 24 points across his last three matches, including a goal, a clean sheet, and 4 bonus points. His DEFCON score of 37 highlights how involved he is defensively, boosting his points potential.

Injury Update: Gabriel was subbed off early in the Champions League midweek. Arteta confirmed it was precautionary, saying:

“Yeah, I think he's going to be okay. He felt something, I think it was a kick… we decided not to take any risks, because he's played a lot of games, comes from a long-term injury, and we need to look after him.”

Upcoming fixtures: West Ham (H), Fulham (A), Crystal Palace (H)

Meanwhile, Cucurella has struggled badly – just 1 point in his last three games, with 6 goals conceded and 2 yellow cards.

Wood, on the other hand, has blanked in three straight games, scoring just 5 points total.

3. Salah → Saka (Arsenal, £9.8m)

Arsenal Talisman Offers Value Alternative

Mohamed Salah is the most transferred-out player this week (397k sales) with managers turning to cheaper midfielders.

Despite his consistency, he’s underwhelmed by his standards with just 16 points from his last three.

Bukayo Saka is emerging as the go-to replacement and has made this week's Top 5 Differentials as he is owned by just 6.3% of managers. Though limited to 115 minutes recently due to fitness, Saka’s fixtures make him an appealing pick.

Upcoming Fixtures: West Ham (H), Fulham (A), Crystal Palace (H).

4. Wood → Woltemade (Newcastle, £7.1m)

Mid-Priced Forward Emerges as Alternative

Newcastle’s Woltemade has impressed with 18 points in his last three matches, scoring twice and benefiting from 4 bonus points. His price tag makes him a very attractive replacement for mid-priced forwards.

Upcoming Fixtures: Nottingham Forest (H), Brighton (A), Fulham (H)

5. Salah → Semenyo (Bournemouth, £7.8m)

Is the Cherries Midfielder Becoming Essential?

Semenyo has emerged as a standout FPL option, scoring 25 points in his last three matches with 2 goals and 1 assist.

He’s averaging an impressive 8 points per game, according to the Opta Heatmaps tool — a total bettered only by Haaland (10.3) this season. He’s also now the most-owned midfielder in Fantasy Premier League, sitting in over 60% of teams.

Upcoming Fixtures: Fulham (H), Crystal Palace (A), Nottingham Forest (H)

FPL Top Transfers Conclusion

Gameweek 7 is shaping up to be one of the most transfer-active weeks of the Fantasy Premier League season. Haaland is firmly a 'must-have', Salah sales are spiking, and mid-priced options like Gabriel, Semenyo, and Saka are emerging as key replacements.

If you’re planning your FPL transfers, monitor Gabriel’s fitness updates and consider balancing premiums with mid-price stars who are hitting form ahead of strong fixtures.
