Fantasy football tips: Game Week 7
1 Jack Butland – £2.9m
Will Butland be England’s No 1 at the World Cup this summer?
Considering Joe Hart’s less-than-impressive recent form, the Stoke goalkeeper will certainly like his chances.

The young shot-stopper has been one of the Potters standout performers this season and was key for them in recent games against Arsenal and Manchester United.
He’s also proving to an affordable option on Dream Team, priced below the likes of Kasper Schmeichel and Lukasz Fabianski.
Up against a Southampton side this weekend who have struggled to score, we’re predicting a good Gameweek for the 24-year-old.
2 Antonio Valencia – £5.2m
Valencia has continued to excel in the right-back position for Man United this season.
Combining his defensive nous with his instinctive attacking mentality, Valencia has been a great source of Dream Team points, with his ability to score, assist and keep a clean sheet.
With United playing hapless Crystal Palace this weekend, we fully expect the Ecuadorian to score big for the managers who pick him.
3 Ben Davies – £4.0m
You’ve got to feel a little sorry for Danny Rose.
Tottenham’s first-choice left-back is looking less likely to walk back into the starting line-up with every passing week, thanks to the sheer brilliance of Davies this season.
The Wales international has proven to be a great pick for Dream Team managers, scoring once, setting up two goals, keeping three clean sheets and racking up 34 points since the opening day of the season.
With Rose still set to be out for a while, we implore you get Davies in ASAP, before his price rockets.
4 Philippe Coutinho – £5.8m
With all of those summer rumours behind us, it’s time to stick Coutinho back into your Dream Team.
The Brazilian has been gently eased back into Liverpool’s starting line-up by Jurgen Klopp following his “back injury”, and played 90 minutes against Spartak Moscow during the week.
The Reds visit Newcastle this weekend and we see no reason why Coutinho wouldn’t be in contention.
5 Jack Wilshere – £1.6m
We love a gamble here at Dream Team.
And what bigger gamble is there than sticking Wilshere into your fantasy football team?
The seldom-seen midfielder put in a stellar performance against BATE Borisov in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Perhaps not the most convincing of opponents, but the England playmaker has done himself plenty of favours – especially considering the question marks over Mesut Ozil’s fitness.
He’s really freakin’ cheap, too.
6 Marcus Rashford – £5.1m
Anthony Martial has seemingly made the left-wing role his own at Man United in recent weeks.
But after picking up a knock on Wednesday night, it looks like Rashford is a certain starter.
And we’re sure the teenager will fully embrace the opportunity, as United’s terrifying attack faces down-and-out Palace for Gameweek 7.
We predict big points all-round for United’s forwards.
7 Harry Kane – £8.6m
With Sergio Aguero seemingly out of action for a while, it’s time to transfer out the Man City forward and maybe use that large chunk of budget on Kane instead.
The Spurs hitman is a whopping £1.3m pricier than Aguero, but is well worth the money considering his recent form.
Five goals in the last week alone (two in the Prem, three in the Champions League) means Kane is way out in front of Dream Team‘s points tally with 91.
What’s the betting he’ll add to that tally when Spurs travel to Huddersfield this weekend?
Alvaro Morata or Gabriel Jesus? Why not both in this weekend’s huge clash?
That’s the beauty of Dream Team Weekender – there’s no budget limitations so you can pick both goal machines when Chelsea take on Man City in the biggest game of the season so far on Saturday.
That means you don’t have to worry about sacrificing different parts of your side to include two of the finest strikers the Premier League has to offer.
Weekender is the best new fantasy football game around and it’s absolutely free to enter.
Just select seven players from across the Saturday and Sunday Premier League fixtures for your chance to bag that increased £10k prize this weekend.
Flopped last week? It doesn’t matter, as Weekender allows you to start afresh every single weekend. Let the games begin – sign up to play here!
MORATA OR JESUS? PICK BOTH WITH DREAM TEAM WEEKENDER
