Six eventful weeks have passed in the Premier League and its Fantasy Game counterpart. Reliable points scoring options are beginning to show up. With them, the player ownership has already fluctuated on a significant basis. Mohammad Salah is no longer the most selected player in the game- that spot has been taken by Sergio Aguero.
Also, we have seen a potential game-changing scenario in high scoring defenders, some of whose total points have beaten many of the high profile midfielders and strikers.
There is a round of League cup matches to come in midweek, which might not be too good of an indicator of the weekend to follow since teams generally use there second strings sides in the competition. Hence, we would ignore its impact and look straight into the upcoming Game Week 7.
Here are the potential 7 best options:
#7 Sergio Aguero: Manchester City
Let's get the most obvious option out of the way at the start. Sergio Aguero is currently the highest selected player in the game at 52%, and for good reason. The Argentine has been one of the most consistent players, giving a good nearly every game. Add to it the tremendous 20 points haul that he had against Huddersfield, Aguero currently has a points total of 43 which is the most for any striker in the FPL.
His price has shot up since the start of the season and currently sits at £11.4. He currently has scored 4 goals and has the same number of assists. His bonus points though have been underwhelming, having grabbed only 4 of those as of yet.
City play Brighton at home in the next match and you would expect Aguero to start and possibly get a big return in the game. His fellow striker Jesus hasn't been in the best of form, so you would bank upon Aguero to continue being the team's main man for some time.
A great choice for the captain's armband and perhaps the triple captain punt as well this Game week.
#6 Alexander Mitrovic - Fulham
The Serbian centre-forward currently sits at the top of the premier league charts for goals. He has scored 5 so far which is no mean feat considering he plays for a promoted side.
Mitrovic has been scoring on a consistent basis, with only Man City and Crystal Palace having avoided him getting on the scoresheet. He has also grabbed an assist with this taking his total points tally to 39- sitting second behind Aguero.
Fulham are up against Everton who have been woeful in defence so far this season and are heavily expected to leak in a goal or two against an attack-minded Fulham side. Mitrovic also is not just riding high on form but is the only out and out striker in the team. This makes him averse to any rotation.
Mitrovic was one of the strikers to look out for this season in our pre-season article which you can read here: The 7 best budget strikers in the FPL. He has surely lived up to those expectations and looks like the real deal.
#5 Ryan Fraser - Bournemouth
After a great start to the season, Bournemouth have somewhat been pegged back after a 4-0 hammering by the hands of Burnley. They would however, be looking to get back to winning back against Crystal Palace at their home ground in their next game, and winger Ryan Fraser is one of the key men who you'd expect to shine.
Fraser has been one of the best budget options in the opening weeks of the season. Grabbing 3 goals, 2 assists and a barrage of bonus points he currently sits on 41 points. That is 4 more than Mohammad Salah, who is a staggering £7 million higher priced than him.
Not just for the next Game week but the upcoming month or two, Fraser' points scoring potential remains at a high looking at his fixture list. If Bournemouth can get back to their winning ways, his value will just keep on increasing.
#4 Raheem Sterling - Manchester City
Honestly, you can bank on Man City's players for the next game looking at their form and the opposition. Another player to be considered is winger Raheem Sterling. Even though not a highly selected player in the game, Sterling has been grabbing points on a consistent basis. There was only the game against Wolves where Sterling didn't manage an attacking return.
He does sit high up in the price pool, currently at £11. He might just be the best attacking option to choose from City's midfield in the long run. Pep Guardiola is infamous for his rotational tactics in the Premier League and that always keep Fantasy players wary of relying on one option in City's midfield.
If you can look past the potential risk, then Sterling might just be full of points in the games to come.
#3 Erik Lamela - Tottenham
Another potential Spurs' bargain coming up? Lamela has looked bright this season when called upon in action. He currently has 2 goals in 2 games and also has provided an assist in their Champions League game.
While Lucas Moura took the headlines at the club in the initial month, he has failed to capture that form in the games since then. Lamela meanwhile, has been growing in his performances and it might not be surprising if he starts over the Brazilian in the next game against Huddersfield.
Things look dire for Huddersfield at the moment after being winless in the new season and the team is currently struggling to keep goals out. Spurs have found wanting in their form but might just take advantage of this game to get some momentum into their stride.
Lamela is a bit of a risk, but at a price of only £6.4 and next to no ownership at the moment, he might just turn out to be the next surprise element in the FPL.
#2 Romelu Lukaku - Manchester United
Not many are going for Manchester United at the moment in the FPL considering their less than impressive start to the League campaign. However, one player remains to be a dependable option in their team through times thick and thin- Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian got most of the goals for his club last season, which looks to be the case again this time around. The team is heavily reliant on Lukaku since the rest of the striker in the side aren't getting a lot of goals at the moment. Yes, we are looking at you, Alexis Sanchez.

Lukaku currently sits at only 10% ownership, is priced at £11.1 and has 31 points so far, which include 4 goals. Expect these steady returns to stay throughout the season. Lukaku is a pretty safe bet for points, especially coming up against struggling West Ham.
#1 Jamie Vardy - Leicester City
Bit of a forgotten name currently in the FPL, since he picked up a red card and missed a couple of matches. Vardy is now back in action, grabbing a goal and an assist in the last game against Huddersfield.
Leicester play against Newcastle next while also have a mouthwatering set of fixtures coming up after. Banking on Vardy right now whilst he is still 'under the radar' would be a pretty smart decision to make. The English striker has taken international retirement and is the primary goal-getter in his team following the departure of Mahrez.
Another player to consider is James Maddison, but if you can shell out £8.9 for Jamie Vardy, I suggest that you do so. He will get way more attacking returns throughout the season as compared to the midfielder.
