This week · GW7 · 2026/27

Alright — GW7 is done. Before the deadline Pitchline wrote down who it liked. Full disclosure: here's who it got right, who it got a bit wrong, and who completely ignored it.

Overall it wasn't a weird week. The weirdness is in a few names. Anyway. Here's who that actually was.

The good

Let's start with the quiet wins. These 10 aren't the hauls you'll still be talking about on Wednesday. They just did pretty much as forecast.

Tzolakis Hull City GKP 3 3
Awoniyi Coventry City FWD 1 1

The bad

Then the "yeah, fair enough" ones. Not close enough to brag about, not wild enough to be angry. These 10 sit in that middle bit: annoying if they were in your team, gone from your head if they weren't.
