We pick out the best budget players for FPL Gameweek 7. With the help of the Fantasy Football Scout fixture ticker and underlying stats we provide some of the best cheap players, whether that be goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders or forwards for the round ahead.

Finding some of the best budget players for FPL Gameweek 7 can be extremely useful to managers. Cheap players are vital when it comes to trying to fit in the more expensive options and can even be great standalone assets.

Fixtures

Below we can see the ticker in order of fixture difficulty. The teams at the top have the easiest fixtures and the teams at the bottom have the toughest fixtures.

Luton

Luton have been struggling to conform to the quality of the Premier League so far this season. That may be, but they have a great double Gameweek ahead. The Hatters face both Burnley and Everton this week which gives their players two attempts to pick up points.

There are plenty of options at the back coming in at a great price. With the community struggling to pick out a goalkeeper lately some could select Thomas Kaminski (£4.5m). For those looking to go even cheaper at the back then wing-back Issa Kabore (£4m) managed an assist in his latest match. Another safer option in terms of minutes is centre-back Amari’i Bell (£4m) who has started all of his sides matches so far.

There aren’t many convincing attacking options on the table other than Carlton Morris (£5.5m). He is predicted to hit more points than any other player in Gameweek 7. Morris takes his sides penalties and was involved in 27 goals for Luton last season.

Everton

Everton are another side that have been struggling this season. That may be the case but they rank around mid-table for both expected goals and expected goals conceded which suggests they have been under achieving on their data.

They face Luton up next whom rank as one of the worst defensive and offensive sides in the division. The Toffees can take huge confidence from their latest 3-1 win against Brentford going into the game. Everton could well be worth investment this week based on the above.

In terms of defence the standout option could be centre-back James Tarkowski (£4.4m). He ranks amongst the top 10 defenders so far for non-penalty expected goal involvement (1.14). Tarkowski also picked up a huge 14-point haul in Gameweek 6 after scoring and registering an assist.

For managers who want an attacker then Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.5m) stands out. The midfielder has been one of his sides standout best this season and also banked two goals in his last three Premier League matches.

West Ham

Of the seven matches West Ham have played in all competitions so far they have won four, lost two and drawn once. The Hammers are in good overall form especially offensively – they have netted in every match played so far.

West Ham may not be the most appealing team in the game but their upcoming opponents is a major boost in that department. Sheffield United have lost all but one of their seven matches in all competitions so far. They also sit as one of the worst teams in the league for defensive and offensive data. A good example of this is the fact they lost their most recent match 8-0.

Sheffield United are a team to target in all areas of the pitch. Defensively, West Ham have some fantastically priced assets. One of them is goalkeeper Alphonse Areola (£4.2m) who has a great chance of keeping a clean sheet. Some could also look to centre-back Kurt Zouma (£4.5m) who is a significant threat from set pieces – Sheffield United rank the worst side so far for headed attempts and attempts from set plays conceded.

For those wanting to invest in cheap attacking assets then midfielder Tomas Soucek (£4.9m) could be an interesting pick considering he ranks joint second for headed attempts on goal this season amongst all midfielders (four).
