Erling Haaland leads Premier League scoring ahead of Gameweek 7

Erling Haaland leads the Premier League scoring charts for the 2026/27 season with six goals after six matches. He is followed closely by Chelsea’s João Pedro, who has recorded five goals and three assists.

As Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers prepare for Gameweek 7, Haaland remains the primary captaincy candidate due to his high expected goals (xG) of 4.82 and Manchester City’s upcoming fixture against Ipswich. Other notable players for consideration include Rayan Cherki, who has accumulated 44 FPL points, and Pascal Groß.

Injury concerns are impacting team selections, specifically regarding Alexander Isak, whose thigh injury has led many managers to seek replacements such as Kostoulas. Additionally, Phil Foden’s return from suspension provides a new option for Manchester City supporters in the fantasy game.
