EPL Supercoach | One-stop Kop: everything you need to know Gameweek 7


<p>The Premier League was back in full swing over the weekend, with plenty of action, excitement, and controversy that did not disappoint.</p>



<p>From a Supercoach perspective, it was another mixed bag for popular players, as it usually is.</p>



<p>On the trading front, this week it is a classic decision between points and cash generation, with some red-hot cheapies and premiums to select from.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gameweek 6 Talking Points</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Another convincing week from Brighton</strong></p>



<p>Yes, we have talked about Brighton a lot, but for good reason. </p>



<p>Brighton consolidated their spot in the top four over the weekend, with another convincing victory, despite playing down a man for most of the second half.</p>



<p>De Cuyper was on the scoresheet again, and with Brighton securing the clean sheet, it was another massive haul for him.</p>



<p>With injured players nearing return and the Conference League kicking off, it will be interesting to see how nailed on De Cuyper&#8217;s minutes are.</p>



<p>Groß also picked up another assist to maintain his spot atop as the top Supercoach point scorer so far this season.</p>



<p>With a tough month of fixtures ahead, we are set to find out a whole lot more about this team. But right now, they&#8217;re a team I would not want to bet against.</p>



<p><strong>Chelsea&#8217;s Front Three really are that good</strong></p>



<p>This is another point I seem to repeat each week, so I will keep it short.</p>



<p>Chelsea&#8217;s front three put on another electric display in a 5-goal outing for the Blues.</p>



<p>Rogers, Pedro, and Palmer all contributed to goals and all returned a double-digit Supercoach haul.</p>



<p>I think it may have reached a point now where owning 2/3 of these guys is the way to go.</p>

<p><strong>United bad, City good</strong></p>



<p>I will keep this one short, because it is more reconsolidation of prior knowledge rather than learning something new.</p>



<p>Both Manchester sides were lucky enough to play a decent chunk of time 11 vs 10 on the weekend, due to red cards.</p>



<p>In that time period, City rolled a depleted Liverpool side 3-0, whereas United conceded a goal to Spurs to surrender their lead and settle for one point.</p>



<p>There is only one Manchester side I would want to be owning Supercoach assets from right now, and it is the one that wears sky blue and has some extremely dodgy accountants.</p>



<p><strong>It was Hull, now Coventry, who&#8217;s next?</strong></p>



<p>Hull City started the season as THE fixture to target.</p>



<p>They then came out of the blocks firing, with two wins, two draws, and three clean sheets in their first 4 games.</p>



<p>The attention then turned to Coventry City as THE fixture to target.</p>



<p>Four losses in their first four games, zero goals scored, 10 goals conceded.</p>



<p>In the two games since then, they have recorded back-to-back wins with an aggregate score of 5-1.</p>



<p>This unpredictability and competitiveness are what we love about the Premier League.</p>



<p>Is this trend going to continue all season? And is it going to affect how heavily we weigh targeting certain fixtures in our trade plans?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Availability Watch</strong></h2>



<p>In this section, I will give the latest injury and suspension updates, focusing on the more Supercoach-relevant players. </p>



<p>As always with these things, the information given to the public is not always perfect and can sometimes change quickly.</p>



<p><strong>William Saliba (ARS): </strong>Is back on the grass returning from a back injury, still a matter of weeks, but his return is reportedly nearing.</p>



<p><strong>Jannik Schuster (BRE):</strong> Subbed off at half-time vs Villa with a minor ankle injury, expected to be only short-term and could return this week.</p>



<p><strong>Kevin Schade (BRE):</strong> Was subbed off early with an apparent shoulder injury, still awaiting news around the severity of the injury.</p>



<p><strong>Jack Hinshelwood (BRI): </strong>Has returned to training and is expected to be back in the squad in the coming weeks, but likely to have his minutes managed.</p>



<p><strong>Isak, Gakpo, and Szoboszlai (LIV): </strong>Not much official news of any of their injuries, but similar reports suggest they are not training but also not too far away, being monitored day by day.</p>



<p><strong>Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw (MUT):</strong> Both picked up knocks and missed their mid-week UCL game, awaiting further news, but both appear to be short-term.</p>



<a id='lrjLuHfMRJZ5-revFfqQHA' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2299719657' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'lrjLuHfMRJZ5-revFfqQHA',sig:'6s8QXBCCMM1iHcjw9mssQoqEf2n9PI_GvK4JG2TFZ8M=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2299719657',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gameweek 7 Fixtures</strong></h2>



<p>Gameweek 7 will kick off at 10:30pm AEDT on Saturday the 17th of October, with Everton hosting Chelsea.</p>



<p>Manchester City at home to Ipswich Town looks like the fixture to target for the week, especially with how City have been playing.</p>



<p>Brighton at home to Palace and Arsenal visiting Nottingham Forest are another two enticing fixtures to target.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Breakevens</strong></h2>



<p>Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.</p>



<p>When looking at who to trade in, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they are likely to rise in price.</p>



<p>Similarly, if you have players with high breakevens in your team, it could be time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn’t lose too much value.</p>
