The Gameweek 7 Roundup

Gameweek 7: Neto top scored with 15; Fulham 1–0 Hull City was the result of the round; Man City are on 7 straight wins; João Pedro blanked for the 73% who own him.

Written after Gameweek 7 was settled — once FPL had confirmed the round's stats, so the bonus points here are the final ones rather than the provisional totals that move overnight. It has not changed since and will not.
