Fantasy Premier League Betting: Key Players to Avoid in GW7

As Gameweek 7 approaches in the Fantasy Premier League, several players are raising concerns among managers, which could influence betting strategies. Notably, Bruno Fernandes, priced at 11.9m, has had a disappointing season start, contributing only 32 points, with a significant portion coming from a single 23-point game in Gameweek 2. With Manchester United's lack of offensive firepower, scoring only nine goals in six matches, bettors should consider the implications of his form on match outcomes and player performance bets. While the upcoming fixtures against Leeds and Bournemouth may not seem daunting, his high price tag makes any lack of returns particularly costly.

In addition to Fernandes, other players like Brentford's Schade, who is currently priced at 6.2m, could be sidelined due to injury, creating uncertainty around his availability for a challenging fixture against Liverpool. This situation presents a risk for bettors looking at player-specific markets. Meanwhile, Tarkowski, also at 6.2m, has shown strong defensive contributions but faces a tough schedule against Chelsea, Arsenal, and Newcastle, making it less likely for him to secure clean sheets. Lastly, Newcastle's Wissa, priced at 6.3m, has struggled for returns despite favorable underlying stats, signaling potential volatility in betting on his performance. Bettors should keep these factors in mind when placing wagers, especially in player performance and match outcome markets.
