Fantasy Premier League 2026/27: Manchester City duo headline five players to consider ahead of Gameweek 7

Gameweek Six in Fantasy Premier League delivered plenty of surprises, and with another round of fixtures approaching, there are some interesting players worth considering. Manchester City's home meeting with Ipswich looks particularly appealing, while a couple of cheaper forwards could reward managers willing to look beyond the usual names.

Here are five players I'd consider bringing in this week. Rayan Cherki Price: 7.9m Ownership 32.2% Position: Midfielder Opponent: IPS (H), AVL (A), BHA (H) It feels daft to spend 15.6m on Haaland and ignore the other City player causing problems.

Cherki has four goals and two assists in just 392 league minutes, and nobody in City's midfield has managed more than his 14 shots or 14 chances created. Ipswich arrive at the Etihad without a clean sheet and rank among the league's worst sides for expected goals conceded.

The worry is the team sheet. Cherki played against PSG in midweek and Foden is back, so Maresca has options.

Still, if he starts, 7.9m looks a decent price for this fixture. Gonzalo Garcia Price: 6.1m Ownership: 7.2% Position: Forward Opponent: HUL (H), COV (A), AVL (A) Garcia has scored once in six matches, which doesn't sound particularly exciting for a striker.

His 3.0 xG tell a different story. He's started every league match, keeps getting chances in the box and now has Hull at home followed by Coventry away.

Fulham have been poor, and Saturday's late defeat at Ipswich won't have helped confidence, but they've created considerably more than their goal tally suggests. Hull have made a better start than some expected, so this isn't a guaranteed return.

For managers shopping around 6m, though, Garcia offers minutes, chances and two fixtures worth attacking. Joško Gvardiol Price: 5.8m Ownership: 28.1% Position: Defender Opponent: IPS (H), AVL (A), BHA (H) It hasn't been plain sailing for Gvardiol, yet he's still managed 41 FPL points in six Gameweeks.

That tells you why he interests me more than a defender who needs his team to keep a zero. City host Ipswich this weekend before facing Villa, Brighton, Forest and Fulham, so there is a decent run to work with rather than just one soft opponent.
