<h2>Best FPL Wildcard Team for Gameweek 7</h2>
<p>I have taken the numbers for this article from the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/bigmanbakar/77">Fantasy Football Hub OPTA stats tool</a>.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Aaron Ramsdale (£4.5m)</h3>
<p>The main question regarding Ramsdale&#8217;s selection lies with his security of starts. For now, Ramsdale in his three Premier League starts has looked solid between the sticks and it looks as if he has displaced Bernd Leno as Arsenal’s first choice keeper.</p>
<p>What I like about Ramsdale is the fact that Arsenal face plenty of shots so he is likely to haul big whenever Arsenal are to keep a clean sheet due to the number of saves he can accumulate.</p>
<p>Arsenal are ranked second on the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/bigmanbakar/74">Fantasy Football Hub fixture ticker</a> for clean sheet potential till GW20, so he&#8217;s a good long term pick which is what you&#8217;d want from your goalkeeper.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Angus Gunn (£4.0m)</h3>
<p>This position could have been given to any £4.0m goalkeeper but I have a slight suspicion that Gunn may become first choice at some point in the future as Tim Krul has been poor for Norwich this season.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiXp8GC7abzAhUzA2MBHcezAHEQ3B0oAXoECF8QCw"></h3>
<h3 class="qrShPb kno-ecr-pt PZPZlf mfMhoc" data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiXp8GC7abzAhUzA2MBHcezAHEQ3B0oAXoECF8QCw">Antonio Rüdiger (£5.7m)</h3>
<p class="qrShPb kno-ecr-pt PZPZlf mfMhoc" data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiXp8GC7abzAhUzA2MBHcezAHEQ3B0oAXoECF8QCw">Chelsea have a <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/bigmanbakar/74">really good run of fixtures</a> beginning from this week and in my opinion, Rüdiger is the best Chelsea defender to pick right now in terms of security of starts. He has started over 90% of the fixtures he has been available for under Tuchel and is one of his favourites.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>César Azpilicueta (£6.0m)</h3>
<p>I like the idea of doubling up on the Chelsea defence with their fixtures is why I have opted for Azpilicueta in the squad, as he seems to be the second most nailed defender after Rüdiger.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-36476 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Azpilicueta.jpg" alt="Best FPL wildcard team for Gameweek 7" width="1024" height="723" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Azpilicueta.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Azpilicueta-300x212.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Azpilicueta-768x542.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Azpilicueta-610x431.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>Azpilicueta can play both as a right centre back or a right wing back, and it is this versatility that ensures that he plays most of the games.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>João Cancelo (£6.1m)</h3>
<p>According to<a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/bigmanbakar/77"> Fantasy Football Hub&#8217;s OPTA tool</a>, Man City are ranked best for xG conceded, big chances conceded, shots conceded and shots in the box conceded. This just highlights their superiority in terms of defensive statistics when you compare them with some of the other defences in the league. Man City have already registered five clean sheets in six fixtures, and are a team high on confidence.</p>
<p>Cancelo is top among defenders for penalty area touches, even though it must be said his expected goals (xG) and expected assists (xA) per 90 haven&#8217;t been the best. Nonetheless, I still think he&#8217;s worth putting in &#8211; especially as Livramento offers a more than an able replacement from the bench should Cancelo fall victim to the Pep roulette.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Trent Alexander Arnold (£7.6m)</h3>
<p>This is a bit of a controversial pick given the fact that Trent has fallen victim to an injury and is likely to miss out for a couple of weeks. However, Klopp in his interview today alluded to the suggestion that Trent is likely to be fit after the international break.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-33796 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Alexander-Arnold-3-1-scaled-e1620374926838.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="653" /></p>
<p>Should that be the case, I don&#8217;t want to sell him as it&#8217;s essentially a transfer down the line to buy him back. He&#8217;s ranked top for chances created and second for big chances this season so remains an elite asset.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 class="qrShPb kno-ecr-pt PZPZlf mfMhoc" data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Tino Livramento (£4.2m)</h3>
<p>Livramento is a bit of an automatic selection on a wildcard draft. He&#8217;s been excellent for Southampton this season and has made the right back position his own. In case there is any rotation or any injury in the squad, Livramento is a good bench option to have.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Mohamed Salah (£12.6m)</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s no debate in this one. Salah is top for xG in the league this season and remains the most reliable captaincy option in the game. He&#8217;s most likely going to be my captain in Gameweek 8 so he&#8217;s going nowhere.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Raphinha (£6.5m)</h3>
<p>Raphinha has been consistent with his points in recent times but I still feel as if he has got more to offer. Even against West Ham, he was unlucky not to have hauled bigger as he hit the post and should have had an assist had Klich put away what was a straightforward chance.</p>
<p>Raphinha in my opinion remains the best midfielder in his price range, especially with the fixtures coming up. The Brazilian has recorded 19 big chance involvements in 24 matches this calendar year and remains in a league of his own when it comes to budget midfielders.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Bukayo Saka (£6.2m)</h3>
<p>Saka is ranked in the top three budget midfielders (below £7m) for both shots in the box per 90 and chances created per 90 this season. As mentioned above, the Gunners now head into a great run of fixtures and Saka at a very affordable price is worth a punt in my opinion.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-34217 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/GettyImages-1297235813.jpg" alt="Best FPL wildcard team for Gameweek 7" width="1024" height="648" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/GettyImages-1297235813.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/GettyImages-1297235813-300x190.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/GettyImages-1297235813-768x486.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/GettyImages-1297235813-610x386.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>He&#8217;s less than 10% owned too hence he could be an ideal differential to climb up the ranks.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Bryan Mbeumo (£5.5m)</h3>
<p>Mbuemo is ranked second only to Sarr in the budget midfielders for big chances per 90 this season. I prefer him to the Watford man as I believe that Brentford have the capability to score against the tough defences in the league whereas I expect Watford to be more circumspect in the difficult games. A good example of that can be seen this week against Liverpool, where Brentford accumulated an average xG of 2.3, the second highest of the Gameweek.</p>
<p>Mbuemo is top for big chances and xG among all Brentford players this season so there is a good chance of him being involved whenever Brentford are to score.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Josh Brownhill (£4.4m)</h3>
<p>Brownhill is the cheapest midfielder in the game who is nailed, which is what you&#8217;d want from a cheap midfielder. He can do a job in emergency situations should there be any unexpected rotation or injuries.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m)</h3>
<p>I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s much between Lukaku and Ronaldo in terms of captaincy this week so I prefer to pick Lukaku as he&#8217;s more of a long term pick. I think it&#8217;s a case of one or the other as I don&#8217;t think the three premiums draft makes optimal use of value as it leads to over reliance on the third premium to perform very well week in week out.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-38961 aligncenter" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/GettyImages-1341346123.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="671" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/GettyImages-1341346123.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/GettyImages-1341346123-300x197.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/GettyImages-1341346123-768x503.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/GettyImages-1341346123-610x400.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p>
<p>For the immediate future, Lukaku offers a great captaincy option in both Gameweek 7 and 9 when Chelsea play Southampton and Norwich respectively.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Michail Antonio (£8.0m)</h3>
<p>Antonio sits top for expected goal involvement (xGi) among all players in the league, and that is despite missing one game due to suspension. He&#8217;s the top scoring forward in FPL this season and in the form of this life so he picks himself.</p>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw"></h3>
<h3 data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwiw25uX7abzAhUaCGMBHVCiDHIQ3B0oAXoECFwQCw">Raúl Jiménez (£7.5m)</h3>
<p>Jimenéz has finally broken his goal drought and I think he will kick on in the times to come. Wolves&#8217; fixtures remain one of the best in the league till Gameweek 14.</p>
<p>Jimenéz&#8217;s numbers have been consistent as well. He has now recorded at least two big chances in all of Wolves’ previous three fixtures and sits in the top five players for chances created and shots in the box this season. The fact that he creates so many chances is good for his bonus potential as well, as it means he is likely to haul big whenever he is to score.</p>
<p>Further, he plays against a Newcastle side this week who have conceded an abnormal number of chances down the middle this season (31), the second highest in the league after Leeds. This is one of the key reasons as to why no forward has blanked against Newcastle in the league this season.</p>
