Following the conclusion of midweek European action, Fantasy Premier League returns for gameweek 7.
Everton will look to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League when welcoming Chelsea in the 12:30 kick-off on Saturday afternoon, while Liverpool will be looking to bounce back from their 3-0 defeat against Manchester City when travelling to West London to face Brentford.
Leeds United host Manchester United in a crucial fixture for Michael Carrick's Red Devils career on Sunday afternoon, and the Premier League action will be concluded on Monday night, with Tottenham looking to end their winless streak against newcomers Coventry City.
We've provided you with the best team, captaincy options and differentials before the FPL gameweek 7 deadline at 11:00 on Saturday 17th October.
Captaincy options
Erling Haaland - £15.6m (MCI)
Fixture: Ipswich Town (H)
Ownership: 75.5%
While Manchester City came up short against an elite Paris Saint-Germain team in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, it's been quite the week for Erling Haaland.
The Norwegian brute scored the opener in the Citizens' 3-0 win against Liverpool last weekend, and he found the net on two occasions against the back-to-back European champions in midweek.
Haaland leads the way as the Premier League's top goalscorer so far this campaign, and with an Etihad encounter against newly promoted Ipswich Town awaiting the forward in gameweek 7, he's a safe bet to add to his tally.
Joao Pedro - £7.8m (CHE)
Fixture: Everton (A)
Ownership: 70.5%
If you're brave enough to trust anyone other than Haaland with the armband, Chelsea's Joao Pedro is the obvious alternative.
The Brazilian -- who enjoyed a productive debut campaign at Stamford Bridge -- has recorded two goal contributions in four of the five Premier League contests that he has featured in this term.
Everton have proved a tough nut to crack this campaign -- keeping three top-flight clean sheets -- but Chelsea will take encouragement from the fact that David Moyes' shipped two against Hull City last time out, and Pedro will be desperate to extend a mightily impressive start to the season.
Rayan Cherki - £7.9m (ARS)
Fixture: Ipswich Town (H)
Ownership: 33.1%
Rayan Cherki -- along with the vast majority of the Man City side -- endured a tough opening 45 minutes against PSG on Wednesday, and while he was hooked at half time in favour of the more defensive Ayyoub Bouaddi, he is likely to start from the off against Ipswich Town.
The Frenchman's remarkable goal at Anfield last weekend embodies his excellence since making the switch from Lyon to Man City, bringing flair, unpredictability and fearlessness to the Premier League.
While Haaland is the standout captain pick for gameweek 7, Cherki has scored just one point fewer than his Citizens teammate so far this season and shouldn't be overlooked.
Differentials
David Affengruber - £4.5m (FUL)
Fixture: Hull City (H)
Ownership: 0.7%
Alvaro Arbeloa's role as Fulham manager has come under scrutiny after a dismal start to the season, and he more than anyone knows that a solid defensive performance is needed to earn a result against Hull City this weekend.
While the Cottagers haven't been getting the desired results of late, they will take positives from David Affengruber's start to life in a Fulham shirt, retaining his place in the side since making his debut in a 0-0 draw against Liverpool.
He's reached the DEFCON threshold in all three games in which he has featured in thus far -- scoring eight, four and three points -- and he looks a safe bet for a return in gameweek 7.
Bradley Barcola - £8.0m (LIV)
Fixture: Brentford (A)
Ownership: 2.2%
Liverpool deserved criticism for their 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, but the Bradley Barcola pile on seemed premature after just his third Premier League starts.
The €125m summer arrival responded emphatically against LASK in the UEFA Champions League however, scoring his first senior hat-trick in a 6-3 Liverpool win.
The absence of Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo and Hugo Ekitike means that Andoni Iraola isn't spoilt for choice in the front line, but Barcola will take confidence from his midweek performance and can be the main threat when the Reds travel to Brentford this weekend.
Dominic Solanke - £5.8m (TOT)
Fixture: Coventry City (H)
Ownership: 1.2%
While Dominic Solanke was frustrated that he didn't find the net in the earlier stages of Tottenham's 1-1 draw against Manchester United last time out, he'll take encouragement from the fact that he was continuously in the right positions to convert, and eventually scored the equaliser.
A home contest against newly promoted Coventry City marks the start of a favourable run of fixtures for Roberto De Zerbi's side, and the availability of creators Savio, Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison and Omar Marmoush will only aid Solanke's chances of becoming Spurs' primary source of goals.
Selected by just 1.1% of managers, the £5.8m forward looks like an enticing budget option to accompany Haaland and Pedro in your front line.
