Are De Cuyper and Gross essential? FPL gameweek seven dilemmas

BBC Sport's FPL expert Gianni Buttice looks at some of the biggest dilemmas facing Fantasy Premier League managers heading into gameweek seven. They are as close to must-have status as anyone in this game but it would be fair to argue this may not be the best entry point knowing they face Liverpool and Manchester City away in their next three games. Admittedly Crystal Palace at home in the derby this weekend is a good match-up, but I wouldn't be ripping up my team to accommodate either. Given the choice, I would prioritise defender De Cuyper (£5.1m). Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m) is owned by a third of all FPL managers and, as the game's second most expensive asset with five blanks from six, he is an easy sell this week.
Arsenal's Bukayo Saka (£9.6m) and Chelsea's Cole Palmer (£9.7m) are both good replacements. United defenders should also be shipped but there is an argument to hold Bryan Mbeumo (£7.9m) who doesn't break the bank and is ranked equal 10th from all midfielders with 33 points so far this season. He's clearly more of a hold than a buy however. With an attack-minded manager in Xabi Alonso, no European involvement and a full week on the training ground this Chelsea team look capable of scoring two or three goals every game. Owning
